Design information for guard time adjustment is
shown in Figure 6. The receiver timing is shown in
Figure 9 with a description of the events in Figure 11.

A call progress mode, using the MT8880C, can be
selected allowing the detection of various tones

only be detected when CP mode has been selected.

DTMF Generator
The DTMF transmitter employed in the MT8880C 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 using row
and column programmable dividers and switched
capacitor D/A converters. The row and column tones
are mixed and filtered providing a DTMF signal with
low total harmonic distortion and high accuracy. To
specify a DTMF signal, data conforming to the
encoding format shown in Figure 7 must be written to
the transmit Data Register. Note that this is the same
as the receiver output code. The individual tones

as Low Group and High 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 (pre-emphasis) is
2dB 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
count, as determined by the input code, a reset pulse
is issued and the counter starts again. The number
