DTMF signals cannot be detected if CP mode has been selected (see Table 7). Figure 8 indicates the useful detect
bandwidth of the call progress filter. Frequencies presented to the input, which are within the ‘accept’ bandwidth
limits of the filter, are hard-limited by a high gain comparator with the IRQ/CP pin serving as the output. The
squarewave output obtained from the schmitt trigger can be analyzed by a microprocessor or counter arrangement
to determine the nature of the call progress tone being detected. Frequencies which are in the ‘reject’ area will not
be detected and consequently the IRQ/CP pin will remain low.

The DTMF transmitter employed in the MT8885 is capable of generating all sixteen standard DTMF tone pairs with
low distortion and high accuracy. All frequencies are derived from an external 3.579545 MHz crystal. The sinusoidal
waveforms for the individual tones are digitally synthesized by using row and column programmable dividers and
switched capacitor D/A converters. The row and column tones are mixed and filtered to provide a DTMF signal with
low total harmonic distortion and high accuracy. To specify a DTMF signal, data conforming to the encoding format
shown in Table 1 must be written to the transmit Data Register.

Group tones. As seen from the table, the low group frequencies are 697, 770, 852 and 941 Hz. The high group
frequencies are 1209, 1336, 1477 and 1633 Hz. Typically, the high group to low group amplitude ratio (twist) is 2 dB
to compensate for high group attenuation on long loops.
The period of each tone consists of 32 equal time segments. The period of a tone is controlled by varying the length
of these time segments. During write operations to the Transmit Data Register the 4 bit data on the bus is latched
and converted to 2 of 8 coding for use by the programmable divider circuitry. This code is used to specify a time
segment length which will ultimately determine the frequency of the tone. When the divider reaches the appropriate
