ISO2-CMOS MT8880C/MT8880C-1
Functional Description
The MT8880C/C-1 Integrated DTMF Transceiver
architecture consists of a high performance DTMF
receiver with internal gain setting amplifier and a
DTMF generator which employs a burst counter such
that precise tone bursts and pauses can be
synthesized. A call progress mode can be selected
such that frequencies within the specified passband

The input arrangement of the MT8880C/C-1 provides
a differential-input operational amplifier as well as a

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.

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 Fig. 7). These 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
