[sci.electronics] DTMF Encoding AND decoding

gbell@pnet12.cts.com (Greg Bell) (01/28/89)

 
   
 
     Are there any available chips to do both encoding AND decoding of DTMF in
the same DIP?   Would save some board space.
 
     If anyone from Teletone is on here, I would appreciate hearing from you
guys about this!  Chances are, Teletone makes such a creature...

Silicon Systems Inc. has such a beast. It's called the SSI 20C90 DTMF
transceiver with call progress detection. It generates and receives all
16 DTMF digits, has a micro interface and an "imprecise" call progress
detector. The only external components are a 3.57 Mhz "colorburst" crystal
and a resistor. It's a low power CMOS part in a 22 pin DIP.

The call progress detector simply activates a signal when the tone is in
the  305-640 hz band. It's up to the microprocessor to figure out what
the signal means.

Never used one of these but it looks like a nice part.

I'm in no way associated with SSI except for being a satisfied customer.

Mitel makes the type of IC that you are looking for.  The part is 
MT8880, and comes in a 20 pin DIP.  It has a microprocessor bus interface
and is relatively easy to interface to.  The chip uses a standared 3.58 Mhz
crystal.
The last price that I know of is about $7.50 each.  This is a 2 year old
price, and that was when the chip first came out.  I assume that the prices
have dropped since then.

	Yup - they are generally referred to as "DTMF transceiver" circuits.

	Try the Silicon Systems SSI-20C90, which performs the above function
for all 16 DTMF tone pairs.
