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 MT88L85 utilizes an adaptive micro interface,
which allows the device to be connected to a number
of popular microcontrollers with minimal external
logic. The MT88L85 provides enhanced power down
features.
The transmitter and receiver may
independently be powered down via register
control. A full chip power down pin provides simple
power and control capability.
Description
The MT88L85 is a monolithic DTMF transceiver with
call progress filter.
It is fabricated in CMOS
technology offering low power consumption and high
reliability.

Functional Description
The MT88L85 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
MT88L85 internal registers.
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.

Power Down
The MT88L85 provides enhanced power down
functionality to facilitate minimization of supply
current consumption. DTMF transmitter and receiver
circuit blocks may be independently powered down
via register control. When asserted, the RxEN
control bit powers down all analog and digital
circuitry associated solely with the DTMF and Call
Progress receiver. The TOUT control bit is used to
disable the transmitter and put all circuitry
associated only with the DTMF transmitter in power
down mode. With the TOUT control bit asserted, the
TONE output pin is held in a high impedance
(floating) state. When both power down control bits
are asserted, circuits utilized by both the DTMF
transmitter and receiver are also powered down.
This includes the crystal oscillators, and the VRef
generator. In addition, the IRQ , TONE output and
DATA pins are held in a high impedance state.
Finally, the whole device is put in a power down state
when the PWDN pin is asserted.

) 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.

Table 1. Functional Encode/Decode Table
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.

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

), v

Advance Information
signal duration to be recognized by the receiver. A
value for C1 of 0.1 µF is recommended for most
MT88L85
applications, leaving R1 to be selected by the
designer. Different steering arrangements may be
used to select independent tone present (t
GTP
) and
tone absent (t
GTA
) guard times. This may be
necessary to meet system specifications which place
both accept and reject limits on tone duration and
interdigital pause. Guard time adjustment also allows
the designer to tailor system parameters such as talk
off and noise immunity.
Increasing t
REC
improves talk-off performance since
it reduces the probability that tones simulated by
speech will maintain a valid signal condition long
enough to be registered. Alternatively, a relatively
short t
REC
with a long t
DO
would be appropriate for
extremely noisy environments where fast acquisition
time and immunity to tone drop-outs are required.
Design information for guard time adjustment is
shown in Figure 6. The receiver timing is shown in
Figure 7 with a description of the events in Figure 9.
