The circuit has a mute function at pin 5.
Sinking current from this pin will cut off the
gain in the microphone amplifier
(attenuation min. 60dB) and decrease the
gain in the receiver amplifier to reach the
confidence tone level at DTMF-dialling.

To alter the level, a signal can be taken
from DTMF generator output to receiver
input before the capacitor C6. The added

second approach, grounding before the
input capacitor is chosen, the grounding
has to be low ohmic in order to render a
high attenuating mute.

The circuit contains a start up device
which function is to fast charge the
capacitor C1 when the circuit goes into
hook- off condition. The fast charge circuit
is a thyristor function between pins 1 and

drain at pin 4 is lower than ≈ 700 µA + the
internal current consumption. ( about 1
mA) This circuit can not retrigger before
the voltage level at C1 drops below 2V or

electret microphone. Caution must be ta-
ken though not to drain too much current
out of this output because it will affect the
internal quick start circuit by locking itself
into active state. (max. permissible current
drain 700µA).
Care has to be taken when deciding the
resistance value of R3. All resistances that
are applied from +Line to ground (-Line)
will be in parallel, forming the real
impedance towards the line. This will
sometimes result in, that the ohmic value
of R3 is increased in order to comply to the
impedance specification towards the line.
The speech circuit sinks ≈ 1mA into pin 4,
which means that the working voltage for
the speech function V+ will decrease with
increasing R3, thus starving in the end the
circuit of its working voltage . This

also connected into what kind of DC-
