Description
The MT8889C is a monolithic DTMF transceiver with
call progress filter. It is fabricated in CMOS technology
offering low power consumption and high reliability.
The receiver section is based upon the industry
standard MT8870 DTMF receiver while the transmitter
utilizes a switched capacitor D/A converter for low
distortion, high accuracy DTMF signalling. Internal
counters provide a burst mode such that tone bursts
can be transmitted with precise timing. A call progress
filter can be selected allowing a microprocessor to
analyze call progress tones.
The MT8889C utilizes an adaptive micro interface,
which allows the device to be connected to a number
of popular microcontrollers with minimal external logic.

Functional Description
Data Sheet
The MT8889C Integrated DTMF Transceiver consists of a high performance DTMF receiver with an internal gain
setting amplifier and a DTMF generator, which employs a burst counter to synthesize precise tone bursts and
pauses. A call progress mode can be selected so that frequencies within the specified passband can be detected.
The adaptive micro interface allows microcontrollers, such as the 68HC11, 80C51 and TMS370C50, to access the
MT8889C internal registers.

IRQ/CP
Interrupt Request/Call Progress
(open drain) output. In interrupt mode, this
output goes low when a valid DTMF tone burst has been transmitted or received.
In call progress mode, this pin will output a rectangular signal representative of
the input signal applied at the input op-amp. The input signal must be within the
bandwidth limits of the call progress filter, see Figure 8.

ESt
Microprocessor data bus. High impedance when CS = 1 or DS =0 (Motorola) or

Early Steering
output. Presents a logic high once the digital algorithm has
detected a valid tone pair (signal condition). Any momentary loss of signal
condition will cause ESt to return to a logic low.
Steering Input/Guard Time
output (bidirectional). A voltage greater than V
TSt
detected at St causes the device to register the detected tone pair and update the
output latch. A voltage less than V
TSt
frees the device to accept a new tone pair.
The GT output acts to reset the external steering time-constant; its state is a
function of ESt and the voltage on St.
Positive power supply (5 V typical).

Input Configuration
The input arrangement of the MT8889C provides a differential-input operational amplifier as well as a bias source
(V
Ref
), which is used to bias the inputs at V
DD
/2. Provision is made for connection of a feedback resistor to the op-
amp output (GS) for gain adjustment. In a single-ended configuration, the input pins are connected as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 4 shows the necessary connections for a differential input configuration.
2.0
Receiver Section
Separation of the low and high group tones is achieved by applying the DTMF signal to the inputs of two sixth-order
switched capacitor bandpass filters, the bandwidths of which correspond to the low and high group frequencies
(see Table 1). The filters also incorporate notches at 350 Hz and 440 Hz for exceptional dial tone rejection. Each
filter output is followed by a single order switched capacitor filter section, which smooths the signals prior to limiting.
Limiting is performed by high-gain comparators which are provided with hysteresis to prevent detection of
unwanted low-level signals. The outputs of the comparators provide full rail logic swings at the frequencies of the
incoming DTMF signals.

Table 1 - Functional Encode/Decode Table (continued)
Following the filter section is a decoder employing digital counting techniques to determine the frequencies of the
incoming tones and to verify that they correspond to standard DTMF frequencies. A complex averaging algorithm
protects against tone simulation by extraneous signals such as voice while providing tolerance to small frequency
deviations and variations. This averaging algorithm has been developed to ensure an optimum combination of
immunity to talk-off and tolerance to the presence of interfering frequencies (third tones) and noise. When the
detector recognizes the presence of two valid tones (this is referred to as the “signal condition” in some industry
specifications) the “Early Steering” (ESt) output will go to an active state. Any subsequent loss of signal condition
will cause ESt to assume an inactive state.
3.0
Steering Circuit
Before registration of a decoded tone pair, the receiver checks for a valid signal duration (referred to as character
recognition condition). This check is performed by an external RC time constant driven by ESt. A logic high on ESt
causes v
c
(see Figure 5) to rise as the capacitor discharges. Provided that the signal condition is maintained (ESt
remains high) for the validation period (t
GTP
), v
c
reaches the threshold (V
TSt
) of the steering logic to register the
tone pair, latching its corresponding 4-bit code (see Table 1) into the Receive Data Register. At this point the GT
output is activated and drives v
c
to V
DD
. GT continues to drive high as long as ESt remains high. Finally, after a
short delay to allow the output latch to settle, the delayed steering output flag goes high, signalling that a received
tone pair has been registered. The status of the delayed steering flag can be monitored by checking the appropriate
bit in the status register. If Interrupt mode has been selected, the IRQ/CP pin will pull low when the delayed
steering flag is active.
The contents of the output latch are updated on an active delayed steering transition. This data is presented to the
four bit bidirectional data bus when the Receive Data Register is read. The steering circuit works in reverse to
validate the interdigit pause between signals. Thus, as well as rejecting signals too short to be considered valid, the
receiver will tolerate signal interruptions (drop out) too short to be considered a valid pause. This facility, together
with the capability of selecting the steering time constants externally, allows the designer to tailor performance to
meet a wide variety of system requirements.
