high as long as ESt remains high. Finally, after a
short delay to allow the output latch to settle, the
delayed steering output flag (StD) goes high,
signalling that a received tone pair has been
registered. The contents of the output latch are made
available on the 4-bit output bus by raising the three
state control input (TOE) to a logic high. 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 (dropout)
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.

In many situations not requiring selection of tone
duration and interdigital pause, the simple steering
