Telecommunications Terms
BALANCED LINE: A line or circuit utilizing two identical
conductors, each having the same electro-magnetic
characteristics with respect to other conductors and
ground. A balanced line is preferred in circumstances
where minimum noise and crosstalk are desired.
.

CORNER EFFECT: The rounding off ofthe attenuation vs.
frequency characteristic of a filter at the extremes (or
corners) of the passband.
CROSS MODULATION: A type of intermodulation due to
the modulation of the carrier of the desired signal by an
undesired signal wave.

BALANCING NETWORK: An arrangement of
impedances connected to one branch of hybrid to match the
impedance of a line connected to the opposite branch.

CROSSTALK: Crosstalk is the presence of unwanted voice
currents. It mayor may not be intelligible, but it can be
heard. There are two general forms of crosstalk, near-end
and far-end.
CVSD: Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation.

BASEBAND: The total frequency band occupied by the
aggregate of all the information signals used to modulate a
carrier (multiplex or radio).

CARRIER: A form of communication using waves that can

dBm: dBm is a transmission level referenced to a specified
impedance. For instance, 0 dBm/600 fl is a power of 1
milliwatt across a 600 n impedance. (0 dBm '" 1 mW)
dBmO: The power expressed in dBm measured at, or
referenced to, a point of zero transmission level.

be modulated by changing their amplitude, frequency, or
phase so that they can "carry" intelligence. Carrier
communication is used as a means of transmitting one or
more messages over a single open-wire pair, cable pair, or
radio circuit.

dBmOp: Based upon 1.0 milliwatt at the 0.0 dBm TLP,
psophometrically weighted.

CENTRAL OFFICE (CO): A place or building where
telephone calls are switched
automatically or manually.

or

connected,

either

dBrn: dBrn is used for noise measurement on telephone
lines. Reference noise is -90 dBm (0 dBrn).

C-MESSAGE: A frequency weighting which evaluates the

dBrncO: A C-Message weighted value based upon -90.0
dBmC referenced to apoint of zero transmission level ie.,
0,0 dBrncO '" -90.0 dBmCO.

effects of noise corresponding to its annoyance to the
"typical" subscriber of standard telephone service. This
weighting is also used to evaluate the effects of noise
(background and impulse) on voice-grade data services.

DELTA MODULATION: A means of encoding analog
signals in control and communication systems. The output
of the delta encoder is a single-weighted digital pulse train
which may be decoded at the receiving end to reconstruct
the original analog signal.

C-NOTCHED: A frequency weighting similar to CMessage weighting except for the addition of a narrow
stopband or notch at 1010Hz. Used in making noise-withtone measurements.

DESENSITIZATION: The tendency of a receiver to fail to

CODEC: A circuit comprised of an encoder and decoder in
the same device.

recognize valid DTMF signals in the presence of such
factors as dial tone, pilot signals, or data signals.

COMPANDOR: A compandor is an electronic circuit used

DROP CHANNEL: This refers to a type of operation where

in carrier systems to provide better signal-to-noise ratios.
The name is a contraction of two-compressor and
expandor, which describe the actions of the two types of
circuits in the equipment-a speech compressor at the
transmitting end and a speech expandor at the receiving
end.

one or more channels of a· multichannel system are
terminated (dropped) at some point intermediate between
the end terminals of the system.

DROPOUT: Short interruptions of service where the
transmitted signal experiences a sudden large drop in
power; often, the signal becomes undetectable. Present
standards define a dropout as a decrease in signal level of
12 dB with a duration greater than 10 ms.

COMPRESSOR: The part of a compandor that is used to
compress the intensity range of signals at the transmitting
end of a circuit. It amplifies weak signals and attenuates
strong signals.

DRY LINE: A telephone line without battery voltage

CONTROL OFFICE: The control office is the location

present.

designated on the circuit order card as having the
responsibility for maintaining the overall circuit. This office
is sometimes referred to as the control point. In most cases,
this is the office which coordinates all activities on a circuit
with the customer.

ECHO: The result of impedance mismatches, hybrid
unbalance, and time delay. Depending upon the location of
impedance irregularities and the propagation
characteristics of a facility, echo may interfere with the
II-ii i

talker or listener, or both. The greater out-of-phase the
currents are, the greater the interfering effect.
ECHO R ETU R N LOSS(ER L): Is a weighted average of the
return losses at all frequencies between 500 and 2500 Hz.
ECHO SUPPRESSOR: Echo Suppressors are used to
minimize the effect of echo. They work in such a way as to
block the echo return currents. They are voice-operated
gates which allow communication one way at a time.
ENVELOPE DELAY DISTORTION: Envelope delay isthe
derivative of the circuit phase shift (in radians) with respect
to frequency (radians p .r second). The deviation of this
derivative at any frequency from the derivative's value at a
prescribed frequency (usually 1800 Hz) is called envelope
delay distortion (ED D).
EQUALIZER: An electrical network in which attenuation
(or gain) varies with frequency and is used to provide
equalization of a frequency-dependent transmission line.
EXPANDOR: A part of a compandor. It is used at the
receiving end of a circuit to return the compressed signal to
its original form. It amplifies strong signals.
FOUR-WIRE CIRCUIT: A four-wire circuit is considered to
be one which terminates at the customer's premises in four
wires. Transmission is done over one pair and reception is
done over the other pair. The circuit is four-wire throughout
and may include repeaters, carrier, or both. When carrier is
used, the circuit is sometimes referred to as "equivalent
four-wire" since different transmitting frequencies may be
superimposed in the same cable pair or open-wire.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: The frequency response of a
circuit refers to its overall transmission characteristics. The
frequencies to be measured and their limits are shown on
the circuit order card.
FREQUENCY SHIFT: A fixed offset in each received
frequency of a signal relative to the transmitted signal, due
to differences in the inserted carrier frequencies in the
receivers and transmitters of transmission systems.
FULL DUPLEX: Telegraph or signaling circuits arranged for
transmission in both directions at the same time.
GAIN TRACKING: Loss deviation (1000 Hz reference)
over the range of levels of interest.
HALF DUPLEX: Transmission in one direction at a time
over a single channel. Thus, in a half-duplex telegraph
system, information can be transmitted in only one direction
at a time.
HOOKSWITCH: The switch on the telephone set which is
activated by placing the receiver on the hook. The two
conditions are defined as off-hook and on-hook conditions,
corresponding to busy and idle circuits respectively.
HYBRID: A bridge-type circuit or connecting device that
combines the function of providing impedance matching
between certain circuits and isolation between other
circuits. A hybrid is often used to connect four-wire lines to
a two-wire line so that in both directions of transmission the
four-wire lines are isolated from each other, but are
connected to the two-wire line.

HYBRID COIL: A hybrid coil is a transformer arrangement
used to convert a two-way, two-wire circuit into two
separate two-wire circuits (four-wire operation).
IMPULSE NOISE: Characterized by large excursionsofthe
total noise waveform which are much higher than the
normal peaks of the message circuit noise.
LOOP RESISTANCE: The loop resistance of a cable pair is
the dc resistance from the telephone office to a distant
point. It may include a coil at the far end. If no coil is present,
a short must be placed across the tip and ring. Corrections
for temperature variations from 68°F must be made to the
measured dc resistance in order to determine if the loop
resistance is correct.
LOSS: End-to-end circuit attenuation usually measured at
1000 Hz.
MESSAGE CIRCUIT NOISE: Background noise
measured between two balanced lines. Also called
"Metallic Noise".
MODEM: A single unit of equipment which combines the
functions of modulator and demodulator. Connects enduser's equipment with telephone system.
MULTIPLEX: A means of transmitting two or more signals
over the same medium.
NET LOSS: The net loss of a circuit is the transmission loss
at 1000 cycles in dB between two locations. The greater the
number, the poorer the circuit. It is sometimes referred to as
the specified equivalent or the card loss.
NETWORK: Network, as generally used, refers to an
impedance matching device associated with a hybrid coil or
terminating set. It is used to balance the derived two-wire
circuit (line) for maximum return loss. Networks are of two
broad types-precision and compromise. Networks of this
type may be referred to as a balancing net, precision net,
camp. net, or net.
NOISE FIGURE: The noise figure expresses the amount of
noise introduced by a piece of equipment over the basic
thermal noise that is present. It represents the relationship
of the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the device to the
signal-to-noise ratio at its output.
NOISE IMMUNITY: A measure of a DTMF receiver's
ability to prevent valid signals from being rejected as noise.
It is sometimes specified as the ability of the receiver to
operate under conditions of gaussian noise in dBrnC.
NOISE-TO-GROUND: A noise measurement where the
noise is measured from a balanced line to ground.
NOISE WEIGHTING: Noise weighting is used to give the
proper interfering effect when noise currents are converted
to sound. The weighting networks integrate the noise
power over the frequency range by giving each small band
of frequencies a weighting proportional to its contribution to
the total interfering effect.
NONLINEAR DISTORTION: The generation of new
signal components not present in the original transmitted
signal. This usually happens when the loss on a channel is
nonlinear with respect to input level.

Il-iv

PABX: Private Automatic Branch Exchange. Has the same
usage as a PBX except that calls within the system are
completed automatically by dialing. An attendant at an
attendant's board may be required to route and complete
incoming calls from the central office. Stations within the
system are connected to the central office by dialing directly,
or they are made to go through the attendant as company
policy dictates.
PBX: Private Branch Exchange. A telephone system located
on the premises of a business and requiring an attendant to
complete all calls. It is usually owned by the telephone
company and is equipped with trunks to a telephone
company central office.
PCM: Pulse-Code Modulation - pulse modulation in which
the signal is sampled periodically and each sample is
quantized and transmitted as a digital binary code.
PHASE JITTER: The undesired component of a received
signal which appears as phase (or frequency) modulation.
PHASE HIT: A sudden change(+ or -) in the received signal
phase (or frequency).
PRIVATE LINE CIRCUIT: A private line circuit is a
connection between two or more stations for the exclusive
use of a customer. It mayor may not have access to the
nationwide telephone network.
PSOPHOMETRIC-WEIGHTED: A frequency weighting
similar to C-Message weighting, which is used as the
standard for European telephone system testing.
QUANTIZING NOISE: Signal-correlated noise generally
associated with the quantizing error introduced by analogdigital and digital-analog conversions in digital
transmission systems.

SINGING POINT (S.P.): The singing point of a circuit isthe
threshold at which it goes into oscillation. It is a measure of
stability and is a function of return loss. It is measured in dB
and the larger the number, the greater the stability.
SINGING RETURN LOSS (SRL): Weighted average of
the return losses at all frequencies in a frequency band.
There is a low frequency test covering the 200 to 500 Hz
band (SRL-LO) and a high frequency test covering the 2500
to 3000 Hz band (SRL-HI).
SKEW: A measure (expressed in percent) of the departure
of each individually received signal frequency from its
nominal value. A function of component tolerances, aging,
environmental conditions, and certain types of transmission-multiplexing equipment, skew is measured at the
DTMF receiver.
SLEEVE (S): Sleeve is a term to describe the frame or body
portion of a telephone plug or jack. See tip and ring.
SUBSCRIBER'S SUBSET: The telephone instrument on
the subscriber's premises.
TALK-OFF: The tendency of a DTMF system to respond
falsely to other-than-valid DTMF signals. Talk-off criteria
are generally specified very subjectively - sometimes in
such broad terms as "good" or "poor".
TERMINATING CONNECTION: A measurement that
substitutes the internal resistance of the measuring
instrument for the subscriber's subset or other equipment.
If the measuring instrument does not have the desired
impedance, an external resistor must be placed across the
input terminals.

REPEATER: A repeater is an amplifier. Some repeaters
use separate amplifiers for each direction of transmission
while others use one amplifier for both directions.

TERMINATING SET: A terminating set is used at the
terminals of an equivalent four-wire circuit for converting to
two-wire operation. The transformer arrangement is similar
to a hybrid coil. The set is sometimes referred to as a
four-wire term set or term set.

REPEATING COIL: A repeating coil is a transformer. There
are numerous impedance ratios available to match a variety
of telephone cable and equipment impedances. A repeating
coil is sometimes called a repeat coil or coil.

TIP AND RING: Tip (T) and ring (R) are terms used to
identify the two conductors of a circuit. They originate from
switchboard terminology pertaining to cord circuits. A fourwire circuit is designated T 1, T2 and Rl and R2'

RETURN LOSS (R.L.): The return loss of a circuit is a
measure of the amount of transmitting current which is
transferred to the receiver at the same location due to
impedance mismatches. The higher the ratio in dB, the
better the return loss. See ERL and SRL.

TWIST: The difference (in decibels) between the DTMF
high-group and low-group signal levels, mathematically
defined as 10 log [(high-group power)/(Iow-group power)].
Measured at the DTMF receiver, it's a function of both the
level difference generated by the signal source and the
gain-frequency characteristic of the transmission facility.

RINGDOWN SIGNALING: The 90 Vat 20 Hz signal used
to operate the ringer in a subscriber's telephone set.
RINGER: The signaling bell in a telephone set.
SENSITIVITY: Generally expressed in dBm at a specified
impedance (usually 600 n), sensitivity is a measure of the
lowest DTMF signal level that a receiver can detect. It
represents an absolute threshold below which detection of
a single frequency is not generated.
SHORT: A circuit is said to be "short" when the net loss is
less than the limits allow. This may create "singing"
(oscillation).
SINGING: Singing means a circuit is oscillating because it
has too much gain. It can sing at any frequency, but the
effect is worse at those frequencies within the usable band. II-v

TWO-WIRE CIRCUIT: A two-wire circuit is one which
terminates at the customer's premises in two wires. It may,
however, contain some facilities which are four-wire, such
as a repeater or carrier.
VARLEY: A varley (varley loop test) is made with a
Wheatstone bridge and is used to detect a difference
(unbalance) in the dc resistance of the tip and ring
conductors.
WET LINE: A telephone line with battery voltage present.
WHITE NOISE: Random noise whose constant energy per
unit bandwidth is independent of the central frequency at
the band. The name is taken from the analogous definition
of white light.

ZERO TRANSMISSION LEVEL POINT (OTLP): An
arbitrary point in a transmission system to which all relative

II-vi

levels at other points in the system are referred. The OTLP is
usually the transmitting toll switchboard or testboard.

Mostek - Technology For Today And Tomorrow

system.
In design, production and testing, the
Mostek goal is meeting specifications the
first time on every product. This goal requires
strict discipline from the company and from
its individual employees. Discipline, coupled
with very personal pride, has enabled
Mostek to build in quality at every level of
production.

TECHNOLOGY
From its beginning, Mostek has been an
innovator. From the developments of the 1 K
dynamic RAM and the single-chip calculator
in 1970 to the current 64K dynamic RAM,
Mostek technological breakthroughs have
proved the benefits and cost-effectiveness of
metal oxide semiconductors. Today, Mostek
represents one of the industry's most
productive bases of MOS/LSI technology,
including Direct-Step-on-Wafer processing
and ion-implantation techniques.
The addition of the Microelectronics
Research Center in Colorado Springs adds a
new dimension to Mostek circuit design
capabilities. Using the latest computer-aided
design techniques, center engineers will be
keeping ahead of the future with new
technologies and processes.

PRODUCTION CAPABILITY
The commitment to increasing production
capability has made Mostek the world's
largest manufacturer of dynamic RAMs. We
entered the telecommunications market in
1974 with a tone dialer, and have shipped
millions of telecom circuits since then. More
than two million of our MK3870 single-chip
microprocessors are in use throughout the
world. To meet the demand, production
capability is being constantly increased.
Recent construction in Dallas, Ireland and
Colorado Springs has added some 50
percent to the Mostek manufacturing
capacity.

QUALITY
The worth of a product is measured by
how well it is designed, manufactured and
tested and by how well it works in your
III-i

alternative to discrete logic systems is
provided.

Memory Products
Through innovations in both circuit design,
wafer processing and production, Mostek
has become the industry's leading supplier
of memory products.
An example of Mostek leadership is our
new BYTEWYDpM family of static RAMs,
ROMs, and EPRpMs. All provide high
performance, N words x 8-bit organization
and common pin configurations to allow
easysystem upgrades in density and
performance. Another important product
area is fast static RAMs. With major
advances in technology, Mostek static RAMs
now feature access times as low as 55
nanoseconds. With high density ROMs and
PROMs, static RAMs, dynamic RAMs and
pseudostatic RAMs, Mostek now offers one
of industry's broadest and most versatile
memory product lines.

THE PRODUCTS
Telecommunication Products
Mostek is the leading supplier of tone
dialers, pulse dialers, and CODEC devices.
As each new generation of telecommunications systems emerges, Mostek is
ready with new generation components,
including PCM filters, tone decoders,
repertory dialers, new integrated tone
dialers, and pulse dialers.
These products, many of them using
CMOS technology, represent the most
modern advancements in telecommunications component design.

Microcomputer Components

Industrial Products
Mostek's line of Industrial Products offers
a high degree of versatility per device. This
family of components includes various
microprocessor-compatible A/D converters,
a counter/time-base circuit for the division
of clock signals, and combined
counter/display decoders. As a result of the
low parts count involved, an economical

III-ii.

Mostek's microcomputer components are
designed for a wide range of applications.
Our Z80 family is today's industry
standard 8-bit microcomputer. The MK3870
family is one of the industry's most popular
8-bit single-chip microcomputers, offering
upgrade options in ROM, RAM and I/O, all
in the same socket. The 38P7X EPROM
versions support and prototype the entire
family.

function, reducing system cost because the
designer buys only the specific functional
modules his system requires. All MDX
boards are STD-Z80 BUS compatible.

Microcomputer Systems
Complementing the component product
line is the powerful MATRIXTM
microcomputer development system, a Z80based, dual floppy-disk system that is used to
develop and debug software and hardware
for all Mostek microcomputers.
A software operating system, FLP-80DOS,
speeds and eases the design cycle with
powerful commands. BASIC, FORTRAN, and
PASCAL are also available for use on the
MATRIX.
Mostek's MD Series™ features both
stand-alone microcomputer boards and
expandable microcomputer boards. The
expandable boards are modularized by

Memory Systems
Taking full advantage of our leadership in
memory components technology, Mostek
Memory Systems offers a broad line of
products, all with the performance and
reliability to match our industry-standard
circuits. Mostek Memory Systems offers addin memory boards for popular DEC and Data
General minicomputers.
Mostek also offers special purpose and
custom memory boards for special
applications.

sine wave and requires little or no filtering for low-distortion
applications. The same operational amplifier that
accomplishes the current-to-voltage transformation
necessary for the D-to-A converter also mixes the low and
high-group signals. Frequency stability of this type of tone
generator is such that no frequency adjustment is needed to
meet standard DTMF specifications.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5087 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary-symmetry MaS (CMOS) process.
A member of the TONE 11* family of integrated tone dialers,
the MK5087 uses an inexpensive crystal reference to
provide eight different audio sinusoidal frequencies, which
are mixed to provide tones suitable for Dual-Tone-MultiFrequency (DTMF) telephone dialing.

Pin connections are shown in Figure 1 and a block diagram
is shown in Figure 2.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
V+, Pin 1
Pin 1 is the positive supply pin. The voltage on Pin 1 should
be between 3.5 and 10.0 volts, measured relative to V-(Pin
6).

The MK5087 was designed specifically for integrated tonedialer applications that require the following: wide-supply
operation with regulated output, auxiliary switching
functions, single-contact keyboard inputs, and Single Tone
Inhibit option.

XMTR SWITCH, Pin 2
Pin 2 is connected to the emitter of an. on-chip bipolar
transistor whose collector is connected to ,v+. With no
keyboard input this transistor is turned on and pulls Pin 2 up
to within V BE of the V+ supply. When a keyboard entry is
sensed, this output goes open circuit (high impedance). The
XMTR Switch output switches regardless of the state of the
Single Tone Inhibit input.

Keyboard entries to the TONE 11* family of integrated tone
dialers cause the selection of the proper divide ratio to

accomplished on-chip by a conventional R-2R ladder
network. The tone output is a stairstep approximation to a

The internal structure of the MK5087 inputs is shown in
Figure 5. RR and Rc pull in oppoSite directions and hold their
associated input sensing circuit turned off. When one or
more row or column inputs are tied together, however, the
input sensing circuits sense the "y, Level" and deliver a
logic signal to the internal circuitry of the MK5087 and
cause the proper tone or tones to be generated.
When operating with a keyboard, normal operation is for
dual-tone generation when any single button is pushed,
and single-tone operation when one or more buttons in the
same row or .columnis pushed. Activation of diagonal
buttons will result in no tones being generated.
When the inputs to thEj MK5087 are electronically

Any crystal frequency deviation from 3.579545 MHz will be
reflected in the tone output frequency. Most crystals do not
vary more than ± .02%.

SINGLE TONE INHIBIT. Pin 15
The Single Tone Inhibit input is used to inhibit the
generation of other than dual tones. It has a pull-up to the
V+ supply and, when left floating or tied to V+, single or dual
tones may be generated as described in the paragraph
under row-column inputs. When forced to the V- supply,
any input situation that would normally result in a single
tone will now result in no tone, with all other chip functions
operating normally.

MUTE OUT. Pin 10
The Mute .output is a conventiona I CMOS gate that pu lis to
V-with no keyboard input and pulistotheV+ supply when a
keyboard entry is sensed. This output is used to control
auxiliary switching functions that are required to actuate
upon keyboard input. The Mute output switches regardless

OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The row and column output waveforms are shown in

using on-chip D-to-A converters. Distortion measurement
of these unfiltered waveforms will show a typical distortion
of 9% or less.
The on-chip operational amplifier ofthe MK5087 mixes the
row and column tones to result in a dual-tone waveform.
Spectral analysis of this waveform will show that typically
all harmonic and intermodulation distortion components
will be -30 dB when referenced to the strongest
fundamental (column tone).
A commonly quoted method of dual-tone distortion
measurement is the comparison of total power in the
unwanted components (Le. intermodulation and harmonic
components) with the total power in the two fundamentals.
For the MK5087 dual-tone waveform. THD is -20 dB
maximum.

A simpler measurement may be made directly from the
screen of a spectrum analyzer by relating any component to
one of the fundamentals. The MK5087 dual-tone spectrum
will show all individual harmonic and IMD components are
typically at least -30 dB with respect to the column tone.
Figures 8 and 9 show a typical dual-tone waveform and its
spectral analysis.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 11 shows an application of the MK5087 in a
standard telephone set that uses the standard 2500-type
network. The tone levels and loop compensation that result
from this application meet the requirements of the U.S.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5089 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary-symmetry MOS (CMOS) process.
A member of the TONE 11* family of integrated tone dialers,
the MK5089 uses an inexpensive crystal reference to
provide eight different audio sinusoidal frequencies which
are mixed to provide tones suitable for Dual-Tone MultiFrequency (DTMF) telephone dialing.
The MK5089 was designed specifically for integrated tone
dialer applications that require the following: fixed supply
operation, a negative-true keyboard input, Tone Disable
input, stable output tone level, and an Any Key Down output
that is open circuit when no keyboard buttons are pushed
and pulls to the V- supply when a button is pushed.
Keyboard entries to the TONE 11* family of integrated tone
dialers cause the selection of the proper divide ratio to
obtain the required two audio frequencies from the
3.579545 MHz reference oscillator. D-to-A conversion is
accomplished on-chip by a conventional R-2R ladder
network. The tone output is a stairstep approximation to a
sine wave and requires little filtering for low-distortion
applications. The same operational amplifier that
accomplishes the current-to-voltage transformation
necessary for the D-to-A converter also mixes the low- and
'Trademark of Mostek Corporation

high-group signals. Frequency stability of this type of tone
generation is such that no frequency adjustment is needed
to meet standard DTMF specifications.
Pin connections are shown in Figure 1 and a block diagram
is shown in Figure 2.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
V+, Pin 1
Pin 1 is the positive supply pin. The voltage on Pin 1 should
be between 3.0 and 10.0 volts, measured relative to V(Pin 6).

TONE DISABLE, Pin 2
The Tone Disable input is used to defeat tone generation
when the keyboard is used for other functions besides
DTMF signaling. It has a pull-upto the V+ supply and, when
tied to the V- supply, tones are inhibited. All other chip
functions operate normally.

ROW-COLUMN INPUTS,
Pins 3, 4, 5, 9,11,12,13,14

be at least one column connected to V- for row tones to be

MK5087/89 Electronic Drive
The purpose of this application brief is to provide
information as to the various means by which the MK5087
and MK5089 keyboard inputs may be electronically driven.
The MK5087 keyboard inputs can be driven by both CMOS
and TIL logic. With the MK5087, the row inputs must be

pulled low for a valid key entry. Since the MK5087 has
internal pull-up resistors on the rows and pull-down
resistors on the columns, external pull-ups are only needed
when driving the column inputs with TIL open-collector
logic. The circuit diagram in Figure 1 shows the interface for
electronically driving the MK5087.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5091 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary-symmetry MOS (CMOS) process.
A member of the TONE II family of integrated tone dialers,
and designed specifically to meet European CEPT
specifications, the MK5091 uses an inexpensive crystal
reference to provide eight different audio sinusoidal
frequencies, which are mixed to provide tones suitable for
Dual-Tone MUlti-Frequency (DTMF) telephone dialing.

crystal reference which eliminates any need for frequency
adjustment.

The keyboard entries select the proper digital dividers to
divide the 3.579545 MHz to obtain the unique audio
frequencies required. These digital signals are then
processed by a R-2R ladder network, and current-to-voltage
transformation is made by an on-chip amplifier. This is a
conventional D-to-A converter and yields sine waves of
sufficient purity that filtering is easily accomplished. The
same amplifier accomplishes summing ofthe low-and-high
group tones to obtain the required dual-tone signal.
Frequency accuracy of the network is obtained via the

The MK5091 meets the following integrated tone dialer
application requirements: compatibility with European
CEPT specifications, regulated-supply operation, single
contact keyboard input, Tone Disable input(TD), Single Tone
Inhibit input (STI), stable output tone level, and an Any Key
Down output (AKD) that is open circuit when no keyboard
buttons are pushed, and pulls to the V+ supply when a
button is pushed.
Supplied in an 18-pin plastic package, the MK5091
provides two pins for tone filtering of the multiple stairstep
output sine wave. Typically, only three resistors, and two
capacitors are needed to produce sine waves of sufficient
purity to meet the CEPT harmonic distortion specification.
The MK5091 high group pre-emphasis before filtering is
typically 2.0 dB. Output level meets European applications.

when the amount of pre-emphasis becomes altered.

The output tone level of the MK5091 is proportional to the
appl ied DC supply voltage. Operation wi II norma IIy be with a
regulated supply. This results in enhanced temperature
stability, since the supply voltage may be made temperature
stable.
DISTORTION
The dualtone harmonic requirement ofthe European CEPT
specification is as follows:
The level of any individual unwanted frequency component
relative to the fundamental of the low group shall not
exceed the following limits. (OdBm = 0.775 Volts).

TONE DISABLE, Pin 3
The Tone Disable input is used to disable tone generation
when the keyboard is used for other functions besides
DTMF signaling. This input has a pull up to the V+ supply,
and when left floating or connected to V+, tones are
generated normally. When forced to the V- supply, tone
generation is disabled. All other chip functions operate
normally.
ANY KEY DOWN, Pin 11

In the frequency band 3.4 to 50 kHz - 33 dBm at 3.4 kHz
falling at 12 dB per octave to 50 kHz.

The Any Key Down output is used for electronic control of
receiver and/or transmitter switching and other desired
functions. It switches to the V+ supply when a keyboard
button is pushed, and is open circuited when not. The mute
output switches regardless of the Tone Disable and SingleTone Inhibit inputs.

In the frequency band above 50 kHz - 80 dBm.

SINGLE TONE INHIBIT, Pin 16

A two-pole filter is required to fulfill the above distortion
requirements. This filter may be constructed using the bipolar transistor available at pins 17 and 18 of the MK5091 .
The two poles should be placed at approximately 3.4 kHz.
Additional margin may be obtained by reducing the

The Single Tone Inhibit input is used to inhibit the
generation of other than dual tones. It has a pull up to the V+
supply and when left floating or tied to V+, single or dual
tones may be generated as described in the paragraph
under row-column inputs. When forced tothe V-supply, any

will now result in no tone, with all other chip functions

OSCILLATOR
The network contains an on-board inverter with sufficient
loop-gain to provide oscillation when working with a low
cost television color-burst crystal. The inverter's input is
OSC IN (pin 8) and output is OSC OUT (pin 9). The circuit is
designed to work with a crystal cut to 3.579545 MHz to give
the frequencies in Table 1.
Any crystal frequency deviation from 3.579545 MHz will be
reflected in the tone output frequency. Most crystals do not
vary more than ± .02%.

ROW AND COLUMN INPUTS
The MK5091 N features inputs compatible with the
standard 2-of-8 keyboard. the inexpensive single contact
(form Al keyboard, and electronic input. Figure 7 shows how
to connect to the two keyboard types and Figure 8 shows
waveforms for electronic input. The inputs are static, i.e.
there is no noise generation as occurs with scanned or
dynamic inputs.
The internal structure of the MK5091 N inputs is shown in
Figure 9. RRI and Rei pull in opposite directions and hold
their associated input sensing circuit turned off. When one
or more row or column inputs are tied together, however,
the Input Sensing Circuits sense the "1/2 Level" and
deliver a logic signaltothe internal circuitryofthe MK5091
and cause the proper tone or tones to be generated.
When operating with a keyboard, normal operation would
be with STI floating or at V+. This allows single-tone
operation when more than one button is activated.
Activation of diagonal buttons will result in no tones being
generated.

The MK5092 was designed for tone-dialer applications that
require the following characteristics: wide range supply
operation with loop-compensated tone regulation, singlecontact keyboard capability, tone-disable capability, and a
mute output that pulls to V- until a keyboard entry is
detected and then pulls to V+.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5092 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary-symmetry MOS (CMOS) process.
A member of the Tone 11* family of integrated tone dialers,
the MK5092 uses an inexpensive crystal reference to
provide the eight standard signaling frequencies which are
mixed to provide Dual-Tone-Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
telephone dialing.

Any valid keyboard entry to the Tone 11* family of integrated
tone dialers causes the selection of the proper divisor to
obtain the required frequency from the internal 3.579545
MHz oscillator. Digital-to-analog conversion ofthe resultant
frequency is done internally with a conventional R-2R
ladder network. The tone output is a stairstep approximation
of a sinusoid and requires little filtering for low-distortion
applications.

VFUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Figure 4 shows how to connect to the two keyboard types
and Figure 5 shows waveforms for electronic input. The
inputs are static, i.e. there is no noise generation as occurs
with scanned or dynamic inputs.

(Refer to Figure 2 for Block Diagram)

V+, Pin 1
Pin 1 connects the positive supply to the MK5092.

TONE DISABLE, Pin 2
TONE DISABLE disables the summing operational
amplifiers and is used to inhibit tone generation to allow the
keyboard to be used for functions other than DTMF
signaling. The TONE DISABLE input has an internal pull-up
resistor and, when left unconnected or connected to V+,
allows normal generation of tones. When connected to V-,
TONE DISABLE inhibits the tone output. MUTE and other
functions operate normally, regardlessofthe status of Pin 2.

ROW AND COLUMN

INPUTS,

Pins 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14
The MK5092 features inputs compatible with the standard
2-of-8 keyboard, the inexpensive single-contact (Form A)
keyboard, and electronic inputs.

The internal structure of the MK5092 inputs is shown in
Figures 2 and 3. RRI and ReI pull in opposite directions and
hold their associated input sensing circuit turned off. When
one or more row or column inputs are tied together,
however, the input sensing circuits sense the "Y2level" and
deliver a logic signal to the internal circuitry ofthe MK5092
and cause the proper tone or tones to be generated.
When operating with a keyboard, normal operation is for
dual-tone generation when any single button is pushed and
single-tone operation when more than one button in the
same row or column is pushed. Activation of diagonal
buttons will result in no tones being generated.
When the inputs to the MK5092 are electronically
activated, per Figure 5, an inputtoa single row and a single
column will result in that dual-tone digit being generated.
Input to multiple columns only will result in no tone being
generated.
Activation of a single row is not sensed by the internal

IV-22

circuitry of the MK5092. If a single-row is desired, two
columns must be activated along with the desired row.

MUTE, Pin 10
The MUTE output is used for electronic control of receiver
and/or transmitter switching. The MUTE output is
connected to V- when no keyboard input is present and
switches to V+ upon recognition of a keyboard input. MUTE
switches regardless of the condition of SINGLE TONE
INHIBIT and TONE DISABLE inputs.

generation of single tones. It hasan internal pull-up resistor
to V+ and when not connected or connected to V+, either
single or dual tones may be produced as described in the
paragraphs on row and column inputs. With SINGLE TONE
INHIBIT connected to V-, any input situations that would
normally produce a single tone will produce no tone.

OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The row and column output waveforms, shown in Figures 6
and 7, are digitally synthesized sinusoids produced by
internal dividers and digital-to-analog converters. Distortion
measurement, discussed in the next section, of these
unfiltered output waveforms shows a typical total harmonic
distortion of 7% or less. Spectral analysis of the dual-tone
waveforms shows that all harmonic and intermodulation
distortion components are typically at least -30 dB when
referenced to the strongest fundamental. Figures 8 and 9
show a dual-tone waveform and its spectral plot.

TYPICAL DUAL-TONE WAVEFORM
(ROW 1, COL. 1)

DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS
A commonly used method of dual-tone distortion
measurement is the comparison of total power in the
unwanted components (i.e. intermodulation and harmonic
components) with the total power inthetwofundamentals.
For the MK5092 dual-tone waveforms, THD is -20 dB
maximum.
A simpler measurement may be made directly from the
screen of a spectrum analyzer by relating any component to
one ofthe fundamentals. The MK5092 dual-tone spectrum
shows all individual harmonic and intermodulation
distortion components are typically at least -30 dB with
respect to the column tone.

The MK5094 was designed for tone-dialer applications that
require the following characteristi.cs: wide range supply
operation with loop-compensated tone regulation, singlecontact keyboard capability, tone-disable capability, anda
mute output that pulls to V- until a keyboard entry is
detected and then pulls to V+.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5094 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary-symmetry MOS (CMOS) process.
A member of the Tone 11* family of integrated tone dialers,
the MK5094 uses an inexpensive crystal reference to
provide the eight standard signaling frequencies which are
mixed to provide Dual-Tone-Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
telephone dialing.

Any valid keyboard entry to the Tone 11* family of integrated
tone dialers causes the selection of the proper divisor to
obtain the required frequency from the internal 3.579545
MHz oscillator. Digital-to-analog conversion ofthe resultant
frequency is done internally with a conventional R-2R
ladder network. The tone output is a stairstep approximation
of a sinusoid and requires little filtering for low-distortion
applications.

DESCRIPTION

Pin connections are shown in Figure'1 and a block diagram
is shown in Figure 2.

The MK5380 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using Mostek's Silicon Gate CMOS process. A member of
the Tone 111* family of integrated tone dialers, the MK5380
uses an inexpensive crystal reference to provide eight
different audio sinusoidal frequencies, which are mixed to
provide tones suitable for Dual-Tone-Multi-Frequency
(DTMF) telephone dialing.
The MK5380was designed specifically for integrated tonedialer applications that require the following: wide-supply.
operation with regulated output, scanned keyboard inputs,
auxiliary switching functions, and a Chip Disable input.
Keyboard entries to the MK5380 integrated tone dialer
cause the selection of the proper divide ratio to obtain the
required two audio frequencies from the 3.579545 MHz
reference oscillator.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
V+, Pin 1
Pin 1 is the positive supply pin. The voltage on Pin 1 should
be between 2.5 and 10.0 volts, measured relative to V- (Pin 6).

CHIP DISABLE, Pin 2
When the Chip Disable input is connected to the V- supply,
tone generation will be inhibited, the keyboard inputs will go
to a high impedance state, and the amplifiers and oscillator
will be powered down. The Chip Disable input has a pull-up
resistor to the V+ supply and when floating or tied to V+, the
MK5380 will operate normally.

When operating with a keyboard, normal operation is for
dual-tone generation when any single button is pushed,
and single-tone operation when more than one button in
the same row or column is pushed. Activation of two or
more diagonal buttons will result in no tones being
generated.

Column inputs go to a high impedance state.

The MK5380 contains an on-board inverter with sufficient
loop gain to provide oscillation when working with a lowcost television color-burst crystal. The inverter's input is Osc
In (Pin 7) and output is Osc Out (Pin 8). The circuit is
designed to work with a crystal cut to 3.579545 MHzto give
the frequencies in Table 2. The oscillator is disabled
whenever a keyboard input is not sensed.

SINGLE TONE INHIBIT, Pin 15

Any crystal frequency deviation from 3.579545 MHz will be
reflected in the tone output frequency. Most crystals do not
vary more than ± .02%.

The Tone output pin is connected internally in the MK5380

Using

The Single Tone Inhibit input is used to inhibit the
generation of other than dual tones. It has a pull-up to the
V+ supply and, when floating or tied to V+, single or dual
tones may be generated as described in the paragraph
under Row-Column inputs.

The level of a dual tone output is the sum of the levels of a
single row and a single column output. This level is
controlled by an on-chip reference which is not sensitive to
variations in the supply voltage.
A typical single tone sine wave output is shown in Figure 6.
This waveform is synthesized using a resistor tree with
sinusoidally weighted taps.

MUTE OUT, Pin 10
The Mute output is a conventional CMOS inverter that pulls
to V- with no keyboard input and pulls to the V+ supply
when a keyboard entry is sensed. This output is used to
control auxiliary switching functions that are required to
actuate upon keyboard input. The Mute output switches
regardless ofthe state ofthe Single Tone Inhibit input. Mute
output is not affected by keyboard inputs when CD is tied to
V-.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5382 is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated
using the complementary - symmetry MOS (CMOS)
process. A member ofthe Tone 111* family of integrated tone
dialers, the MK5382 uses an inexpensive crystal reference
to provide eight different audio sinusoidal frequencies,
which are mixed to provide tones suitable for Dual-ToneMulti-Frequency (DTMF) telephone dialing.

CONTROL-9

1 2 _ ANY KEY DOWN
1 1 - COL4

10_ vM-

The MK5382 was designed specifically for integrated tonedialer applications that require the following: wide-supply
operation with regulated output, scanned keyboard inputs
which recognize either negative-true or Class A closures, a
Chip Disable input, and an Any Key Down output that is
high impedance with no keyboard entry and pulls to the V+
supply when a keyboard button is pushed.
The MK5382 will redial 3 to 16 digits. The redial function
may be employed immediately after going off-hook, after
dialing one PBX access digit, or after dialing two PBX access
digits. An "off-hook store" function allows a number to be
entered into the last number dial memory for later use with
no tones emitted during entry.
On-chip power-up-clear circuitry and memory-Iossdetection circuitry insure that no false numbers, due to
power loss, can be redialed.

Integrated Dialer ComparisonTone II vs Tone III
The purpose of this Application Brief is to define the major
differences between Mostek's Tone 11* and Tone IW series
of integrated tone dialers.

DC OPERATING VOLTAGE
D MK5087 - 3.5 to 10.0 V
D MK5089 - 3.0 to 10.0 V

The Tone III series was developed as an improvement over
Tone II. The minimum operating dc voltage of Tone III has
been reduced and loop compensation of the tones
generated has been improved. Distortion has also been
reduced due to a scheme in which DTMF tones are
synthesized using a sinusoidally tapped resistor tree.

D MK5380 - 2.5 to 10.0 V

TONE OUTPUT
D

The Tone III family of integrated tone dialers is fabricated
using Mostek's Silicon Gate CMOS process. Tone III devices
use a scanned keyboard scheme with which various
keyboard types or electronic input may be used. Tone III
dialers also have a Chip Disable feature which causes tone
generation to be inhibited, the keyboard inputs to go to a
high-impedance state, and the amplifiers and oscillator to
be powered down.
The following is a comparison of the major differences
between the MK5087 and MK5089 (Tone II), and the
MK5380 (Tone III).

Loop Simulator
The following is a simple circuit which can be used to
simulate a telephone loop for most testing purposes.
Potentiometer R2 may be varied to provide various loop
currents simulating different loop lengths. Normal loop
currents range between 20 and 80 mA. Resistor R1 is used
to limitthe loop currentto a maximum of approximately 120
mA{Tip and Ring short-circuited). An ammeter, Lis used to

measure the loop current and capacitor Cl and resistor
R3 are used to simulate the 600 0 impedance of the
telephone line. Inductor L provides a high impedance in
series with the power supply so that the impedance across
Tip and Ring is effectively 600 n.

DESCRIPTION

never be more than 17 digits remaining to be. outpulsed.

The MK50981 is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit which
converts keyboard inputs into pulse signal outputs simulating
a rotary telephone dial. It is designed to operate directly from
the telephone line and can be interfaced properly to meet
telephone specifications in systems utilizing loop-disconnect
signalling. Two outputs, one to pulse the telephone line and
one to mute the receiver, are provided to implement the pulse
dialer function. Accurate timing is accomplished by using a
ceramic resonator as the frequency reference forthe on-chip
oscillator.

The MK50981 also features the rediai function. Any 17-digit
number sequence may be redialed with a * or # key input,
providing that the circuit enters the on-hook mode for a finite
time, tOH (refer to discussion on the On-HooklTest Pin).
An on-chip "Power-Up-Clear" circuit insures reliable
operation of the MK50981. If the supply to the circuit should
become insufficient to retain data in the memory (see
electrical specifications), a "Power-Up-Clea(' will occur upon
regaining a proper supply level. This function will prevent the
"Redial" or spontaneous outpulsing of incorrect data. A new
number sequence may then be entered in normal fashion.

The MK50981 is in either the on-hook or off-hook mode as
determined by the input to the pin designated "OnHooklTest."In order to accept any key inputs, the MK50981
must be in the off-hook state. Upon sensing a key input, the
normally static oscillator is enabled and the row and column
inputs are alternately strobed to verify thatthe keyboard input
is valid. The decoded input is then entered into an on-chip
memory. The memory will store up to 17 digits and allows
keystrokes to be entered at rates comparable to tone dialing
telephones. Entering the first digit (except * or #) clears the
memory buffer and starts the outpulsing sequence. As
additional digits are entered, they are stored in the memory
and outpulsed in turn. The memory has a FIFO-{first-in~firSt­
out) type architecture and more than 17 digits may be dialed
in any number sequence. The limitation is that there can

MUTE OUTPUT, Pin 10

WhElri'in the On-Hook mode, S1 and S2 are open. This
disables the current source and eliminates any excess
current flow through the base-emitter junction of 01 by
allowing the emitter to be pulled to V+ through On-Hook. A
large-value resistor, R3, allows a small amount of current to
maintain the memory on the MK50981.

The Mute Output consists of an open-drain N-channel
transistor. It provides the logic necessary to mute the
receiver while the telephone line is being pulsed. A typical
way to interface this output is shown in the application
diagram in Figure 4. Figure 3 shows the timing
characteristics of the Mute Output.
ON-HOOK/TEST, Pin 15
The "Test" or "On-Hook" input of the MK50981 has a
1OOkn pull-up to the positive supply. A V+ input or allowing
the pin to float sets the circuit in its On-Hook or test mode,
while a V- il)putsets it in the Off-Hook or Normal Mode.
When Off-Hook, the MK50981 will accept key inputs and
outpulse the digits in normal fashion. Upon completion of
the last digit, the oscillator is disabled and the circuit stands
by for additional il)puts.

To return Off-Hook S1 and S2 are closed, thus tying the
On-Hook pin' to V-. The pulse and mute outputs drive
external transistors to perform the outpulsing function. The
speech network is connected through transistor 05 to the
telephone line. Mute holds this transistor on until
outpulsing begins. The first break occurs when Mute
switches low and the speech network is removed from the
line. The pops caused.by breaking the line are then isolated
.from the receiver. The pulse outpUt drives Darlington pair
Q3 and 04 to make and break the line until the digit has
been completely pulsed. Mute then switches high,
returning the spe~fh network to the line.

Switching the MK50981 to On-Hook while it is outpulsing
causes the remaining digits to be outpulsed at 100 x the
normal rate (M/B ratio is then 50/50). Thisfeature provides
a means of rapidly testing the device and is also an efficient
V-4

Other implementations may consider a constant current
diode for the current source or muting the network with a
Darlington. If your application requires muting the network
with a relay, request information on our MK50991

DESCRIPTION
architecture and more than 17 digits may be dialed in
any number sequence. The limitation is that there can
never be more than 17 digits remaining to be outpulsed.

The MK50982 is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit
which converts keyboard inputs into pulse signal outputs
simulating a rotary telephone dial. It is designed to
operate directly from the telephone line and can be
interfaced properly to meet telephone specifications in
systems utilizing loop-disconnect signalling. Two outputs, one to puise the telephone line and one to mute
the receiver, are provided to implement the pulse dialer
function. Accurate timing is accomplished 'by using a
ceramic resonator as the frequency reference for the
on-chip oscillator.

The MK50982 also features the redial function. Any
17 -digit number sequence may be redia led with an * or
# key input, providing that the circuit enters the on-hook
mode for a finite time, tOH (refer to discussion on the
On-Hook/Test Pin).
An on-chip "Power-Up-Clear" circuit insures reliable
operation of the MK50982. If the supply to the circuit
should become insufficient to retain data in the memory
(see electrical specifications), a "Power-Up-Clear" will
occur upon regaining ~ proper supply level. This
function will prevent the "Redial" or spontaneous
outpulsing of incorrect data. A new number sequence
may be entered in normal fashion.

The MK50982 is in either the on-hook or off-hook mode
as determined by the input to the pin designated, "OnHook/Test." In order to accept any key inputs, the
MK50982 must be in the off-hook state.
Refer to Figure 1 for a block diagram. Upon sensing a key
input, the normally static oscillator is enabled and the
row and column inputs are alternately strobed to verify
that the keyboard input is valid. The decoded input is
then entered into an on-chip memory. The memory will
store up to 17 digits and allows keystrokes to be entered
at rates comparable to tone dialing telephones. Entering
the first digit (except* or #) clears the memory buffer and
starts the outpulsing sequence. As additional digits are
entered, they are stored in the memory and outpulsed in
turn. The memory has FIFO-(first-in-first-out) type

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The VREF output provides a negative reference voltage
relative to the V+ supply. Its magnitude is a function of
the internal parameters which define the minimum

The MK50982 contains an on-chip inverter with sufficient gain to provide oscillation when used with a
low-cost 480kHz ceramic resonator (anti-resonant mode).
In addition to the resonator, two external capacitors are
required. Suggested equivalent values for the resonator
are given in the timing· specification section. These
values will insure proper oscillator operation in the
specified voltage range. The MK50982 may be driven
externally with a 480kHz signal on Pin 7.
MAKE/BREAK SELECT, Pin 9

Upon returning Off-Hook, if the first key entry iseither*
or #, the number sequence stored on-chip will be

PULSE OUTPUT, Pin 16
The Pulse output is an open-drain N-Channel transistor
designed to drive an external bipolar transistor. These
transistors would normally be used to pulse the
telephone line! by controlling the loop current through
the network. The timing characteristics of the Pulse
output are shown in Figure 6.

The Mute output consists of an open-drain N-channel

receiver while the telephone line is being pulsed. A
typical method of interfacing this output is shown in the
application diagram in FigureS. Figure 6 shows the
timing characteristics of the Mute output.
ON-HOOK/TEST, Pin 15
The "Test" or "On-Hook" input of the MKS0982 has a
100kn pull-up to the positive supply. A V+ input or
allowing the pin to float sets the circuit in its On-Hook or
test mode, while a V- input sets it in the Off-Hook or
Normal Mode. Any digits to be tested in the "OnHook/Test" mode must be entered while "Off-Hook."
When Off-Hook, the MKS0982 will accept key inputs
and outpulse the digits in normal fashion. Upon
completion ofthe last digit, the oscillator is disabled and
the circuit stands by for additional inputs.
Switching the MKS0982 to On-Hook while it is
outpulsing causes the remaining digits to be outpulsed
at 1 00 x the normal rate (M/B ratio is then SO/SO). This
feature provides a means of rapidly testing the device
and is also an efficient method by which the circuitry is
reset. When the outpulsing in this mode, which can take
up to 300ms, is completed, the circuit is deactivated and
will require only the current necessary to sustain the
memory and Power-Up-Clear detect circuitry (refer to
the electrical specifications).

A test circuit is shown in Figure 4. This circuit can be
used to demonstrate the basic operation of the
MKS0982.

A current source of some type is desired to present a
high impedance to the telephone line while
guaranteeing sufficient current to power the MKS0982
(2: 1S0 jJ.A). The current source shown is constructed
with two components, 02 and R1. The current is
regulated by the negative feedback provided by R1 to the
gate of 02. Several other implementations can be
considered, such as a constant current diode, or a
configuration using bipolar transistors.
The purpose of t-ransistor 01 is to take the place of an
additional hookswitch contact. When S1 closes, Q1 is
turned on and On-Hook (pin 1S) is pulled to V-. This sets
the MKS0982 in the normal mode, ready to accept key
inputs.
When going On-Hook, S1 is opened, causing 01 to be
turned off. An on-chipresistor pulls pin 1S to V+ and the
current source is disabled. The purpose of D1 is to limit
any reverse current flow through the current source. A
large-value resistor, R3, allows a small amount of
current to maintain the memory on MKS0982.
To return Off-Hook, S1 is closed, causing 01 to be
turned on thus tying the On-Hook pin to V-. The Pulse
and Mute outputs drive external transistors to perform
the outpulsing function. The receiver is connected
through transistor 06 to the speech network. Mute
causes the transistor to be held on until outpulsing
begins. When Mute switche~ low, the receiver is
removed from the speech network. The pops caused by
breaking the line are then isolated from "the receiver.
The Pulse output drives transistors 03 and OS to make
and break the line until the digit has been completely outpulsed. Mute then switches high, returning the receiver
to the speech network.

DESCRIPTION
The MK50991 is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit
which converts keyboard inputs into pulse signal
outputs simulating a rotary telephone dial. It is designed
to operate directly from the telephone line and can be
interfaced properly to meet telephone specifications in
systems utilizing loop-disconnect signalling. Two
outputs are provided to implement the pulse dialer
function, one to pulse the line and another to mute the
receiver. The mute output can be interfaced with a
bistable latching relay in applications with this
requirement.
The MK50991 is in either the on-hook or off-hook mode
as determined by the input to the pin designated "OnHook/Test." In order to accept any key inputs, the
MK50991 must be in the off-hook state. Upon sensing a
key input, the normally static oscillator is enabled and
the row and column inputs are alternately strobed to
verify that the keyboard input is valid. The decoded input
is then entered into an on-chip memory. The memory
will store up to 17 digits and allows keystrokes to be
entered at rates comparable to tone dialing telephones.
Entering the first digit (except * or #) clears the memory
buffer and starts the outpulsing sequence. As additional
digits are entered, they are stored in the memory and

outpulsed in turn. The memory has a FIFO-(first-infirst-out) type architecture and more than 17 digits may
be dialed in any number sequence. The limitation is that
there can never be more than 17 digits remaining to be
outpulsed.

The MK50991 also features the redial function. Any 17digit number sequence may be redialed with a * or # key
input, providing that the circuit enters the on-hook
mode for a finite time, tOH (refer to discussion on the
On-Hook/Test pin).

An on-chip "Power-Up-Clear" circuit insures reliable
operation of the MK50991. If the supply to the circuit
should become insufficient to retain data in the memory
(see electrical specifications), a "Power-Up-Clear" will
occur upon regaining a proper supply level. This
function will prevent the "Redial" or spontaneous
outpulsing of incorrect data. A new number sequence
may then be entered in normal fashion.

A valid key entry is defined by either a single row being

simultaneously presented to both a single row and
column.
When in the On-Hook mode, the row and column inputs
are held high and no keyboard inputs are accepted.
When Off-Hook, the keyboard is completely static until
the initial valid key input is sensed. The oscillator is then
enabled and the rows and columns are alternately
scanned (pulled high, then low) to verify the input is
valid. The input must remain valid continuously for 10
ms of debounce time to be accepted.

The Mute output consists of a complementary pair of
CMOS transistors. It provides the logic necessary to be
interfaced with a bistable latching relay to Mute the
speech network. Upon coming off-hook, a negative
transition on Mute will insure the speech network is
properly connected to the telephone line. When
outpulsing begins, a positive transition will switch the
relay, continuously muting the network until the entire
number sequence entered is outpulsed. Figure4 shows,
in detail, the timing diagram of the Mute Output

The "Test" or "On-Hook" input of the MK50991 has a
100kD. pull-up to the positive supply. A V+ input or
allowing the pin to float sets the circuit in its On-Hook or
test mode while a V- input sets it in the Off-Hook or
Normal Mode.
When Off-Hook, the MK50991 will accept key inputs
and outpulse the digits in normal fashion. Upon
completion of the last digit, the oscillator is disabled and
the circuit stands by for additional inputs.
Switching the MK50991 to On-Hook while it is
outpulsing causes the remainingdigits to be outpulsed
at 100 x the normal rate (M/B ratio is then 50/50). This
feature provides a means of rapidly testing the device
and is also an efficient method by which the circuitry is
reset When the outpulsing in this mode, which can take
up to 300ms, is completed, the circuit is deactivated and
will require only the current necessary to sustain the
memory and Power-Up-Clear detect circuitry (refer to
the electrical specifications).
Upon returning Off-Hook, a negative transistion on the
Mute Output will insure the speech network is
connected to the line. If the first key entry is either a * or
#, the number sequence stored on-chip will be
outpulsed. Any other valid key entries will clear the
memory and outpulse the new number sequence.

PULSE OUTPUT. Pin 18
The Pulse Output consists of an open-drain N-channel
transistor. This output provides the logic necessary to
pulse the telephone line with the correct Make/Break,
pulse rate, and interdigital pause timings. The timing
characteristic of the Pulse Output is shown in Figure 4
above.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
The schematic diagram in Figure 5 shows one method
which can be used to interface the MK50991 with the
telephone line. In this approach. the speech network is
connected directly to the telephone line through a
metallic relay contact. The pulse signalling circuitry is in
parallel with the speech network.
A current source of some type is desired to present a
high impedance to the telephone line while
guaranteeing sufficient current to power the MK50991
(>150J.lA). Transistor Q2 provides the source current to
the device. The magnitude of this current is determined
by the voltage on R1 due to the forward-biased diodes
01 and 02. Transistor Q1 provides a regulated bias
current to the diodes as well as Q2.
When in the On-Hook mode, 51 and 52 are open. The
current SOlirce is disabled in this manner and only a
small amount of current, supplied through R3, is needed
to maintain data in the memory. The relay is open,
thereby disconnecting the speech network from the
telephone line.

When coming Off-Hook, switches 51 and 52 close,
connecting the On-Hook input to V-. Immediately the
output of Mute switches low. This transition pulses the
relay through Q5 and Q6, latching it in the closed
position. The speech network is now attached directly to
the telephone line for normal conversation. Diode 03
will hold the 'pulsing Darlington composed of transistors
Q3 and Q4 off.
Upon receiving a valid key entry, Mute switches high.
This transition pulses the relay to its open state, thereby
muting the network. The loop current is still passed
through the Darlington pair, Q3 and Q4' for a predigital
pause time of approximately 840ms. (tpDP). Break is
accomplished when the Pulse output switches low,
cutting the Darlington off. During break, current flow is
limited to the current source and the Pulse pullup
resistor R4, insuring a high impedence in this interval.
Pulsing of the complete digit continues in this manner.
Each digit in the number sequence dialed is separated
by standard interdigital pauses (tIDP)'
After the final digit is outpulsed, the Mute Output
returns low and the speech network is connected back
to the telephone line through the relay contact for
normal conversation. Returning On-Hook causes Mute
to switch high, removing the network from the line.
Applications which do not require operation with a
bistable relay may use our MK50981 pulse dialer to
better advantage.

DESCRIPTION
The MK50992 is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit
which uses an inexpensive RC oscillator for its frequency
reference and provides all the features required for
implementing a pulse dialer with. redial. It operates directly
off the telephone line supply and converts 2-of-7 keyboard
inputs into pulse signals simulating a rotary telephone dial.
When not outpulsing, the MK50992 consumes only microamperes of current.
When off-hook, the MK50992 senses a key down condition,
verifies that only one key is depressed and then enters the
key's code into an on-chip memory.
The memory will store up to 17 digits, and allows keystrokes
to be entered at rates comparable to tone dialing

telephones. Entering the first digit starts a predigital pause
counter and clears the memory buffer. At the end of the
predigital pause, outpulsing begins. As digits are entered.
during the outpulsing period they will also be stored in the
memory. Outpulsing will continue until all entered digits
have been dialed. The first 17 digits entered will be stored in
the on-chip redial memory and can be redialed by pressing
either # or *, provided that the receiver has gone on-hook for
the minimum tOH (refer to the electrical specifications
section).
.
When on-hook, key inputs will not be recognized because
the oscillator is disabled. This oscillator inhibit prevents the
circuit from drawing excessive current when on-hook.

will be approximately 0.6 volt greater than the minimum
operating voltage of each particular MK50992.

Functions of the individual pins are described below.
V+ (Pin 1)
This is the positive supply pin. The voltage on this pin is
measured relative to V- and is supplied from a 150 J.lA
current source. This voltage must be regulated to less than
6.0 volts.

The typical application would be to connect the VREF pin to
theV-pin(Pin 6). The supplytotheV+ pin (Pin 1) should then
be regulated to 150pA (lop max). With this amount of supply
current, operation of the MK50992 is guaranteed.

The MK50992 contains on-chip inverters to provide an

external components. Figure 3 shows' the on-chip
configuration with the necessary external components.
Optimum stability occurs with the ratio K = Rs/R equal to
10. The oscillator period is given by:

The "Test" or "On-Hook" input of the MK50992 has a
100kfl pull-Up to the positive supply. A V+ input or
allowing the pin to float sets the circuit in its On-Hook or
test mode while a V- input sets it in the Off-Hook or
Normal Mode.

This is the negative supply pin and is normally tied to
V REF (see V REF paragraph).

Tying this pin to V- will select an Output Pulse Rate of

Rate of 20pps.

The MAKE/BREAK pin· controls the MAKE/BREAK
ratio of the pulse output: The MAKE/BREAK ratio is
V-22

When Off-Hook. the MK50992 will accept key inputs
and outpulse the digits in normal fashion. Upon
completion of the last digit, the oscillator is disabled and
the circuit stands by for additional inputs,
Switching the MK50992 to On-Hook while it is
outpulsing causes the remaining digits to be outpulsed
at 100 x the normal rate (M/B ratio is then 50/50). This
feature provides a means of rapidly testing the device
and is also an efficient method by which the circuitry is
reset. When the outpulsing in this mode. which can take
up to 300ms. is completed, the circuit is deactivated and
will require only the current necessary to sustain the
memory and Power-Up-Clear detect circuitry (refer to
the electrical specifications).
Upon returning Off-Hook. a negative transistion on the
Mute Output will insure the speech network is
connected to the line. If the first key entry is either a * or
#, the number sequence stored on-chip will be
outpulsed. Any other valid key entries will clear the
memory and outpulse the new number sequence,

make and pulls to the V- supply during break.

PULSE OUTPUT (Pin 18)
The Pulse output is an open drain N-channel tranistor
designed to drive an external bipolar transistor. These
transistors would normally be used to pulse the
telephone line by disconnecting and connecting the
network.

As shown in Figure 4, outpulsing starts with a make

Current Sources
The purpose of this application brief is to discuss the use of
constant current sources in pulse-dialer application circuits.
Current sources serve two important purposes in pulsedialer applications. First, they provide a relatively constant
current to the pulse dialer so that it may operate
consistently during pulsing. Secondly, constant current
sources help maintain the high break impedance that is
required by U.S. telephone specifications for loop
disconnect dialers.

diode drop. The current through Q1 is determined by the
value of R1 according to the equation:

For a typical pulse-dialer application, the following
components are recommended:
Q1 = 2N5401
CR1 = CR2 = 1 N914
R1 = 1.5 kf1
R2 = 560 kf1

There are various configurations of current sources which
can be used to achieve these goals. In this application brief,
three different configurations will be examined. All of these
current sources are interchangeable.
One of the most commonly used configurations consists of
two diodes, one transistor, and two resistors. This
configuration is used in the MK50992 typical application. A
schematic of this current source is shown in Figure 1.

Another frequently used current source configuration
consists of an N-channel JFET, one resistor, and one diode.
This configuration is used in the MK50982 typical
application circuit and is shown in Figure 2.

TO V+ (PIN 1) OF
PULSE DIALER

The operation of this type of current source is as follows.
Diodes CR1 and CR2 ensure that the base oftransistor Q1 is
biased at two diode drops below the voltage at the positive
side of the bridge. Resistor R2 provides bias current for
diodes CR1 and CR2 and transistor Q1. R2 must be carefully
selected to bias CR1 and CR2 past the knee of the currentvoltage curve, yet still satisfy break impedance requirements. The emitter-to-base voltage of Q1 is approximately
equal to one diode drop (VCR = 0.4 - 0.7 V). Therefore, the
voltage drop across R1 is also approximately equal to one

With this type of configuration, the value of resistor R3 and
the characteristics of transistor Q2 determine the amount of
current that flows to the pulse dialer. As current through R3
increases, the voltage across it (which corresponds to V GS
of the FEl) also increases, thus regulating the amount of
current that flows through Q2.
Diode CR3 is used to block reverse-current flow through the
current source to the pulse dialer.

V-25

For a typical pulse-dialer application, the recommended
components are:

02 = 2N3822
R3 = 12 kO
CR3 = 1N914

TO POSITIVE SIDE
OF BRIDGE FROM
TELEPHONE LINE

CR4

This current source scheme can also be constructed using
different types of FETs. The position of R3 will depend upon
the type of FET selected.
This type of current source has two main disadvantages
over the type shown in Figure 1. The first disadvantage is
cost. The FET selected must have a VDS high enough to
withstand open-circuit, telephone-line voltage (1 00 V max),
and will be more expensive than a comparable bipolar
transistor. The second disadvantage is poor stability. The
currentthat flows through 02 will vary with changes in the
Vp(pinch-off voltage) of the FET. Careful selection ofthe FET
used for 02 and the tolerance of R3 will decrease the
variability of this current source.
A third type of current source in common use is the constant
current or regulator diode. This type of current source
configuration is shown in Figure 3.
The constant current diode is composed of a transistor
similar to the one shown in Figure 2, but with a built-in
resistor and feedback loop. These constant current diodes
operate according to the same principles as the current
source shown in Figure 2.

TO V+ (PIN 1) OF
PULSE DIALER

For this type of current source configuration, the
recommended silicon diode(CR5) isa 1N914. Agermanium
diode, such as the 1N270, may be used for CR3' and CR5 in
Figures 2 and 3 respectively if a smaller voltage drop across
the current source is desired. This will enable the pulse
dialer to operate with a slightly lower voltage present at the
telephone line. The constant current diode(CR4)can be any
commercially available regulator diode such as the Siliconix
CR022, the Siliconix J522, or the Teledyne TCR500. Any
constant current diode can be used as long as it"provides the
minimum current required for operation of the selected
Mostek dialer.

The purpose of this Application Brief is to define the major
differences between Mostek's pulse dialers.

MK5099 - Pin 11 tied to V+ =39%/61 %
Pin 11 tied to V- = 33%/67%

The first Mostek pulse dialers were the MK5098 and the
MK5099. Later, the MK50981 and MK50991 were
developed to meet other requirements which the MK5098
and MK5099 did not meet. However, these are not direct
replacements for the MK5098 and MK5099. Therefore, the
improved MK50982 and MK50992 were designed to
directly replace the MK5098 and MK5099, respectively. All
of Mostek's pulse dialers, except the MK5098, have the
last-number-redial feature.

MK50991 /992 - Pin 11 tied to V+ = 34%/66%

Several different modes of operation are possible. For
minimal component count, the system of Figure 3 can
be used with the keyboard configuration shown in
Figure 4. This configuration is ideally suited to a 10number repertory system and places the function
control buttons on column 4 of a standard telephone
keypad. For systems with more features, the system of
Figure 5 can be used with the input matrix shown in

The MK5170 is a multi-function Repertory Dialer circuit
utilizing ion-implanted, N-channel silicon gate
technology and advanced circuit design techniques to
provide maximum cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Pin
connections are shown in Figure 1, and a block diagram
is shown in Figure 2.

the use of a calculator-type l-of-N keyboard. The matrix
includes both push-buttons and diode-selectable
options. The options are selected by connecting a diode
between the appropriate digit strobe and the keyboard

scan input. Digit strobes are generated by an external
decoder which is driven by the MK5170 (See Figure 7).

Four types of functions are used to control the dialer: (1)
ENTER/DIAL allows entry and dialing of telephone
numbers, (2) STORE enables storage of entered
numbers, (3) CLEAR clears erroneous entries or begins
a data entry sequence and (4) PAUSE provides for intergroup pauses while dialing. Note that one of three
lengths of pause may be selected:
(a.) Infinite pause which is terminated either by
pressing the ENTER/DIAL button or by pressing one of
the #0 through #31 keys; (b.) Short pause (1.5 seconds)
which is terminated either by a 1.5-second time-out or
by the means described in (a.); and (c.) Long pause (5
seconds) which is terminated either by a 5-second
timeout or by the means described in (a.).
Two additional buttons are used to control the clock and
the timer. DISP. TIME causes the MK5170 to display the
current time. If this button is pressed and held for more
than 3 seconds, then the MK5170 will enter the settime
mode. During the 3-second timeout, the colons will stop
flashing. At the conclusion of the timeout, the colons
will resume flashing and the time can be set via the
number keys. SIS TIMER provides for displaying the
timer as well as starting and stopping it. If SIS TIMER is
pressed and the timer is not being displayed, the display
will change to show the timer count.lfthe timer is being
displayed when SIS TIMER is pressed, the timer will
start if it is not running and will stop if it is running.
An additional feature of the MK5170 is that, once a
minute, the current time is stored in external RAM. The
storage occurs on the minute transition. For example, as
the time changes from 1 :02 to 1 :03, 1 :02 will be stored.
If AC power is then lost between 1 :03:00 and 1 :03:59,
the clock will power up at 1 :02:00 when AC power is
restored. To further explain the operation of the
Mk5170, a few examples are given below:

3. If digits 1 through 20 are not blank, press the CLEAR
key. Enter the number to be dialed. As the digits are
entered, they will appear on the display beginning at
digit 20. If a pause is required, press the appropriate
pause key. The code corresponding to the key, as
shown in Figure 10, will appear on the display.
4. Press the STORE key. The telephone number shown
in digits 1 through 20 will be stored in the memory
location specified by the address code.

EXAMPLE 1: Storing a Number to be Dialed Later
Using ENTER/DIAL

1. Lift the receiver and dial the number. As the keys are
pressed their corresponding code will appear on the
display. The address code will show only decimal
points. If the keyboard of Figure 4 is used, * and # can
be dialed. If a pause key is pressed, its code will
appear on the display but the pause will not occur. If
the number is redia led or stored and recalled from
memory, the pause will be executed when it is
encountered.

1. With the phone on-hook, press the ENTER/DIAL key.
Digits 21 and 22 (See Figure 9), the address code, will
show only decimal points. The remainder of the
display will show the contents of the dial buffer. Ifthe
dial buffer is empty, only decimal points will be
shown in digits 1 through 20.

2. Before going on-hook, press the ENTER/DIAL key
followed by the desired address code. Entrywill be as
described in Step 2 of Example 1. After digit 21 is
entered, press the STORE key. The telephone
number will be stored in the location specified by the
address code.

2. Enter the address code. As the address code is
entered it will be displayed in digits 21 and 22. If only
1 K of memory has been installed, the first digit will be
entered into digit 21 and digit 22 will be zero.
Otherwise, the first entry will be displayed in digit 22
and the second entry will be displayed in digit 21.
After a number has been entered in digit 21, the
memory contents referenced by the address code will
be shown on the display. If nothi ng has been stored in
the referenced location, only decimal points will
show in digits 1 through 20.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The Basic Repertory Dialer System of Figure 3
represents the minimum number of components
required to implement a repertory dialer system using
MK5170. A 2-of-S keyboard, using the interface shown
in Figure 11, provides the system control functions of
number entry, Enter/Dial, Store, Inf. Pause and Clear. A
quad comparator, an LM2901 or equivalent, is used as a
buffer between the keyboard and the MK5170. The noninverting input of each comparator is biased at Y2 +5M
and the appropriate non-inverting inputs are tied to
their assigned row orcolumn. A key closure will pull two
of the non-inverting inputs within two diode drops of
ground, thus causing the associated comparator
outputs to go low. The MK5170 then senses these two
low levels and, after identifying the key, drives the
DIALING output low, which pulls the inverting inputs
within one diode drop of ground and causes all of the
comparator output transistors to turn off, thus isolating
the keyboard from the MK5170 so that the MK5170 can
apply row and column information to the dialer without
interference from the keyboard.
The dialer interfaces shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13
include level conversion circuitry as well as an Inhibit
Dial feature. The active - low row and column signals
(ROW 1 - COL 3) are applied to the bases of NPN
transistors. Because the power supply to the tone dialer
can vary between 3.4 volts and 10.5 volts and the power
supply to the pulse dialer can vary between 2.5 and 5
volts, level conversion is required between the 0 - to 5 volt row and column signals and the corresponding
inputs to the MK5090 or MK509S. This required level
conversion is provided by the 7 NPN transistors. When
the MK5170 is required to isolate the dialer from the 2of-S keyboard (i.e. during data entry), it does so by
driving the INH. DIAL line low. The INH. DIAL signal is
inverted and used to turn all of the NPN transistors on so
that the signals applied to the row and column inputs of

the MK5090 and MK509S will be at their inactive level.
When the MK5170 starts a dialing cycle, the INH. DIAL
line will go high and the required sequence of row and
column signals will be applied to the bases of the NPN
level converters. The 4050 buffers and 4049 inverting
buffers shown in the dialer interface schematics are
powered from the phone line and provide the buffering
and logic inversion necessary to meet the input
requirements of the MK5090 and MK509S, as well as
permitting the use of 1 megohm pull up resistors at the
collectors of the NPN level converters. Using large value pullup resistors reduces the amount of current
that the buffer circuitry draws from the phone line.
The Full-Feature Repertory Dialer System of Figure 5
implements all the features provided by the MK5170 by
placing all of the keys and option diodes in a 3 x 24
matrix shown in Figure 6 and Figure S. KBD. SCAN IN,
#0 - #15 and #16 - #31 are scanned by the MK5170.
When an active low level is detected on any of the three
scan lines, the MK5170 determines which key has been
pressed and takes appropriate action. Digit strobes for
scanning the input matrix are generated by the circuit
shown in Figure 7, which encodes the 5-bit digit select
code (DSO - DS4) into lof 23 digit strobes (D1 - D23).
These positive pulses are then used to drive the bipolar
digit drivers for the display as well as for scanning the
input matrix. A BLANK DISPLAY input is provided to
inhibit the generation of digit strobes during memory
access, since the segment and digit encoding lines are
shared by memory addresses and read/write control
(See Figure 7).
The Power Supply and Timebase Reference circuit
shown in Figure 14 provides two independent 5-volt
power supplies: (1) +5L which powers the MK5170 and
the display circuitry and (2) +5M which powers the
memory, the memory protect logic and the keyboard
buffers and is provided with a battery backup which
consists of 6 NiCd cells and a charging circuit. The

VI-11

Timebase Reference consists of a comparator with
hysteresis so that power line noise will not reach the
MK5170.
The Memory Protect Logic shown in Figure 15 provides
two functions: (1) The MK5170 will be reset whenever
its power supply dips to 4.75V and (2) on power up and
during a power supply dip to 4.75V, CEl and CE2 will be
forced high so that no memory chip selects can be
generated. This insures that data stored in the MK41 04
will not be destroyed. If a 2102 memory is used, the
memory protect latch is not required. Note, however,
that CEl and CE2 must still be inverted to enable the

memory. CEl and CE2 will be enabled after POC is
removed from the MK5170 and CEl goes high.
Repertory size' is determined automatically by the
amount of memory installed so all that is required to
alter the size of the repertory is to install memory
devices as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 17 shows the suggested LED drive circuitry,
A special "on-hook" circuit, Figure 18, is shown for use
with PBX systems, This circuit prevents the MK5170
from seeing the momentary line-disconnect exhibited
by a PBX system as it switches to out-of-plant lines,

DESCRIPTION
The MK5175 is a monolithic integrated ten-number
repertory dialer manufactured using Mostek's Silicon Gate
CMOS process. The circuit accepts keyboard inputs and
provides the Pulse and Mute logic levels required for loopdisconnect signaling. For DTMF signaling, the MK5175
may be interfaced with one of Mostek's new Tone
generators with minimum additional circuitry.
The dialer will function in either Tone or Pulse mode,
dependent upon the logic level presented to Pin 2, the
"Mode Select" pin. The interpretation of several inputs and
outputs is dependent upon the mode selected.

An on-chip RAM is capable of storing ten sixteen-digit
telephone numbers including the last number dialed, When
used in a PABX system, a pause(# key) may be stored inthe
number sequence. The repertory dialer will recognize this
pause when automatically dialing and stop until any key
input is received.
The MK5175 repertory dialer uses a standardized pinout
scheme common to all MostekTone and Pulse dialers, This
will facilitate the design of a family of telephone products
using common PC boards and circuit components.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
V+, Pin 1
Pin 1 is the positive supply inputto the part and is measured
relative to V- (Pin 6), The voltage on this pin should not
exceed 10 volts. On-chip zener diodes will provide
protection from supply transients in most applications,

MODE, Pin 2
In Pulse mode, the time base for the circuit is a ceramic
resonator which is low-cost, yet provides an accurate
reference. In Tone mode, a single-pin RC oscillator provides
the frequency reference for the circuit. This provides the
least expensive means to adequately control the tone
output rate. The block diagram in Figure 2 illustrates the
general internal structure of the MK5175.

The MK5175 will function in either Tone or Pulse mode,
dependent upon the logic level presented to Pin 2, For Pulse
mode operation, this pin must betied to V-(Pin 6), ForTone
mode, it should be tied to V+ (Pin 1 ), The interpretation of
Pins 7, 8, 9, 10, and 16 are dependent upon the mode
selected.

closure. This does not affect the normal functioning .of the
tone generator, which begins signaling immediately.

The MK5175 incorporates an innovative keyboard scheme
that allows either the standard 2-of-7 keyboard with
negative common or the inexpensive single-contact (Form
A) keyboard to be used, as shown in Figure 3.
A valid key entry is defined by either a single row being
connected to a single column or V- being simultaneously
presented to both a single row and column.
In the Tone mode, the MK5175 features a bidirectional
keyboard scheme. In this scheme, the MK5175 simulates
key closures so that a tone dialer will perform the repertory
tone-dialing function. As the MK5175 passively monitors
the key inputs, they are debounced, decoded, and stored in
the on-chip LND (Last Number Dialed) buffer. The repertory
dialer will disable the tone generator and scan the keyboard
whenever a command key entry is detected, as shown in
Figure 4.
In the Pulse mode, the MK5175 keyboard inputs are totally
static until an initial valid key input is sensed. The oscillator
is then enabled and the rows and columns are alternately
scanned (pulled high, then low) to verify the input is valid.
Keyboard bounce is ignored for 32 ms after the initial key
down is detected. A key input is accepted if it is valid after
this initial debounce time. This scheme allows any valid key
input to be recognized in less than 40 ms after the initial key

V-,Pin 6
·Pin 6 is the power supply return pin and is the
measurement reference for V+ (Pin 1 ).

OSCILLATOR, Pins 7,8
Inthe Tone mode, onlya resistor and a capacitor are needed
to provide the frequency reference for the MK5175. The
resistor should be connected from Pin 7 (OSC/RC) to V+
(Pin 1) and the capacitor from Pin 7 to V- (Pin 6). Pin 8
(OSC/NC) should be connectedtoV+. Anominal frequency
of 8 kHz will provide a tone rate of 100 ms on and 100 ms
off. This tone rate is directly proportional to the oscillator
frequency.
In the Pulse mode, an accurate frequency reference is
obtained using an on-chip inverter with sufficient gain to
provide oscillation when used with a low-cost 480 kHz
ceramic resonator (anti resonant mode). In addition to the
resonator, two external capacitors are required, as shown in
Figure 6.

M-B/CNTL, Pin 9
In the 13-key Tone mode, Pin 9 can be used'as a Control

VI-20

input by connecting a coritrol k~y (n.o. SPST switch) from
this pin to V- (Pin 6). This feature allows the * and # key
entries to be interpreted simpiy as DTMF signals. When not
used as a key input, this pin should be connected to V+
(Pin 1). (See 13-Key Tone Mode)
In the Pulse mode, the make/break ratio may be selected by
connecting this pin to either the V+ or V- supply. Table 1
indicates the two popular ratios from which the user can
choose.
KEYBOARD GONFIGURATI.ONS
Figure 3

PULSE/13-KEY. Pin 16
In the Tone mode, a V+ level at Pin 16setsthe MK5175 in a
mode in which a control key (n.o. SPST) connected from Pin
9 to V- is used to initiate control functions. With Pin 16 tied
to V-, the MK5175 is set in the 12-key mode and the * and #
keys are used in control functions.
In the Pulse mode, Pin 16 is the Pulse output. It consists of
an open-drain N-channel transistor designed to drive an
external transistor. These transistors could typically be used
to pulse the telephone line by controlling the loop current
through the network: The timing characteristics of the Pulse
output are shown in Figure 5.

Pin 10 is the output of an open-drain N-channel transistor.
In the Tone mode, Pin 10 is used to provide the tone dialer
with a Dialer-Disable signal. This signal is used to inhibitthe
generation oftones by pulling to V- when command entries
are being made.
In the Pulse mode, Pin 10 is the Mute output. It provides the
logic necessary to mute the receiver while the telephone
line is being pulsed. A typical method of interfacing this
output is shown in the application diagram in Figure 6.
Figure 5 shows the timing characteristics of the Mute
output.
HKS. Pin 15
Pin 15 is the hook switch input pin. Pin 15 requires an
external pull-up resistor to the positive supply. A V+ input
sets the circuit in its on-hook mode, while a V- input sets it
in the off-hook or dialing mode.

Telephone numbers to be automatically dialed by the
MK5175 may be entered into the LND buffer while either
on-hook or off-hook. However, the MK5175 must be in the
on-hook mode for a number to be copied into a permanent
memory location. A number may be copied and stored by .
entering the key sequence ~ EJ, followed by the address
(1-9) of the memory location in which the number is to be
stored. This operation requires 400 ms before going offhook or reinitiating the store function. Information present
inthe LND buffer when new data is entered is replaced and
cannot be recalled.
AUTOMATIC DIALING
The automatic dialing function is implemented by going
off-hook and entering a *, followed by the address (1-9) of
the desired telephone number. Dialing will begin with the
release of the address key and can be interrupted by
initiating a new redial command. The LND buffer will
contain the information last entered. A key sequence ofG,
!QJwill cause the last number entered to be redialed. More
than one number sequence may be automatically dialed
from memory without returning on-hook.
PAUSE/CONTINUE COMMAND
The MK5175 has a feature which allows an . indefinite
pauseto be programmed into the first 15 digitsofa number
sequence by entering a # key at the point in the sequence
where a pause is desired. When the number is
automatically dialed, the circuit will stop dialing when the
pause is encountered. Any key entry after the interdigital
pause (except * key) will cause the MK5175 to contiriue
dialing the remainder of the number. If more than one
pause was originally programmed into the number
VI-21

sequence, a corresponding number of continue commands
must be made in order for the number to be completely
dialed.

NORMAL DIALING
When dialing normally in the Pulse mode, the key entry rate
may exceed the dialing rate. The memory has a FIFO (firstin-first-out) architecture and any length number sequence
may be dialed as long as the key entered is not more than 16
entries ahead of the digit being outpulsed.
In order to dial a * or # DTMF signal when intheTonemode,
the * or # key must be depressed twice consecutively.1This
will cause the MK5175 to enable the tone dialer to generate
the corresponding tone. However, the MK5175 will not
store a * or # as a DTMF signaling digit.
Examples:
1. On-Hook, enter 323-6000
Then enter
323-6000 is stored in location 5

BB[§]

All digit entries, except * and #,are stored in the LND buffer
as they are entered, whether off-hook or on-hook. However,
the MK5175 must be in the on-hook mode for a number to
be copied from the LND buffer into a permanent memory
location. A number may be copied and stored into a
permanent memory location by entering the key sequence
[CJ~(where C is the control key and N is the location, 1-9, in
which the number is to be stored). An indefinite pause may
be programmed into a number by entering a [9 [][] key
sequence at the point desired.
In order to automatically. dial a number in memory, the key·
sequence [Q~ must be entered after going off-hook, where
N is the address of the number to be dialed. Last-number
redial is accomplished by dialing 191Qj. If a pause has been
programmed into the number to be automatically dialed, the
number will be dialed up to the point where a pause is
encountered. Any key entry will cause the MK5175 to
continue dialing theremainder of the number. If more than
one pause was programmed into the number, a
cor~esponding number of continue commands must be
made in order for the number to be completely redialed.

13-KEY TONE MODE
An extra feature available on the MK5175 is the ability to
use the entire keyboard for normal signaling such that
when any key is depressed once, including * and #, the
proper DTMF signal is generated. This feature is activated
by connecting Pin 16 to V+. In order to utilize this function,
an extra control key (n.o. SPST) connected from Pin 9
(M-B/CNTL) to V- is required.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Pin 2 (MODE) is connected to V- to set the MK5175 in the
Pulse dialer mode. In this mode, Pins 7 and 8 are defined as
the oscillator pins and Pins 9, 10, and 16 are defined as
M-B, Mute, and Pulse, respectively.

REPERTORY PULSE DIALER
The schematic diagram in Figure 6 shows one method
which can be used to interface the MK5175 with the
telephone line. In the approach shown, the MK5175 is in
the pulse-dialer mode and the pulsing circuitry is in series
with the speech network.

A current source of some type is desired to present a high
impedance to the telephone line while guaranteeing
sufficient current to power the MK5175 while off-hook and
dialing. The current source shown. is constructed using
diodes 01 and 02, resistors R1 and R2, and transistor 01
Other implementations, such as a constant current diode,
may be considered.

The Pulse and Mute outputs drive external transistors to
perform the outpulsing function. Resistor R7 and capacitor
C4 are connected across transistor 03 for suppression of
noise-producing sharp voltage rises generated during
outpulsi ng. The receiver is connected to the speech network
through transistor 04. Mute causes the transistor to be held
on until outpulsing begins. When Mute switches low, the
receiver is removed from the network. The transients
caused by breaking the line are then isolated from the
receiver. The Pulse output drives transistor 03 to make and
break the line until the digit has been completely outpulsed.
Mute then switches high, returning the receiver to the
speech network.

A diode bridge is used to insure the proper voltage polarity
for the MK5175, and hook switch 51 is used to connect the
circuit to the telephone line. Hook switch 52 is used to
provide the logic level necessary at Pin 15 to set the
MK5175 in its off-hook mode.

A 3-volt battery has been included in the circuit to provide
current to the MK5175 to retain the numbers stored in
memory and to provide the power necessary for the onhook entry and storage of numbers.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5102 is a monolithic integrated circuit
fabricated using the complementary-symmetry MOS
(CMOS) process. Using an inexpensive 3.579545 MHz
television colorburst crystal for reference, the
MK5102 detects and decodes the 8 standard DTMF
frequencies used in telephone dialing. The requirement of only a single supply and its construction in a
16-pin package make the MK5102 ideal for applications requiring minimum size and external parts
count.

The MK5102 detects the high and low group DTMF
tones after band splitting using a digital counting
method. The zero crossings of the incoming tones
are counted over several periods and the results
averaged over a longer period. When a minimum of
33 milliseconds of a valid DTMF digit is detected,
the proper data is latched into the outputs and the
output strobe goes high. When a valid digit is no
longer detected, the strobe Will return low and the
data will remain latched into the outputs. Minimum
interdigit time is 35 .milliseconds.
The MK5102 is designed to interface with the
MK5099 Integrated Pulse Dialer with only one additional DIP Package. These two parts working together form a DTMF-to-Pulse converter that meets the
recognized telephone standards;

Since the MK51 02N-5 is intended to be a portion of a

be met before a satisfactorY decoder can be constructed. A block diagram of a typical system is
shown in Figure 1. Each portion of the block diagram
is discussed in succeeding paragraphs.

TELEPHONE

ments are not as stringent for the MK51 02N-5 as they
are for competing designs. As shown in figure 2, the
MK5102N-5 requires a band separation of only 33d8
in an average application. The 33dB requirement
allows for a SIN ratio of 18dB, 6dB of twist, and a
detection bandwidth of at least ± 2%. A reduction of
twist margin or SIN requirements will result in a corresponding lower requirement for band separation.
For example, if there is not a requirement for twist
margin, the band separation can be reduced to 27dB.
In a system with no noise and no twist, the band
separation can be 22dB.
The plot shown in Figure 2 depicts corner frequencies
of 683Hz, 960Hz, 1184Hz and 1666Hz. These represent a 2% deviation from theDTMF frequencies of
697Hz, 941 Hz, 1209Hz and 1633Hz, respectively.
This deviation is necessary because of the requirement that a DTMF receiver must detect frequencies
which are 2% higher or lower than the nominal
DTMF frequency. Table 1 lists the 8 DTMF frequencies and the corresponding frequencieS which a
DTMF decoder is required to,detect.

INPUT SQUARING CIRCUITS

DETECTION ALGORITHM
The detection approach used inthe MI<5102N-5 utilizes zero-crossing detection and digital period-counting. To increase the rejection of random noise and the
residue from out-of-band components, an averaging
scheme is used. Figure 3(a) shows nine cycles of a
symmetrical sine wave. If zero-crossings were the only
detection criteria, and if the average period-count obtained over nine periods were acceptable, then the signal in Figure 3(a) represents a valid tone. The jitter of
the zero-crossings is integrated out by the nine-period
average. However, based on the simple nine-period
average, the signal shown in Figure 3(b) would be
accepted as a valid tone. To improve rejection of this
speech-type waveform, the nine-period detection time
can be broken into three period-averaged sub-groups
as indicated by the dashed lines in Figure 3(b). By
combining the nine-period average and the sub-group
average criteria, 200 false hits are obtained on 30
minutes of a standard speech tape. Figure 3(c) represents a type of waveform that would produce a hit
based on the nine-period and sub-group average algorithm. To improve rejection ohhis waveform, requirements must be placed on every single period in addition to the nine-period average and the sub-group
average. However, the waveform of Figure 3(d) will
be detected using only these three criteria. Therefore
an additional requirement must be placed on each
half-period of the waveform. Figure 3(e) shows the
only type of signal which will be accepted by a detection algorithm which requires the follpyving:
1. Valid nine-period average
2. Three valid subcgroup averages
3. Valid single-period
4. Valid half-period
Using these four criteria, the number of hits on a
standard speech tape can be reduced to .Iess than six.

As described above, to minimize the number of false
hits, a detection algorithm must place stringent requirements on each half-period of the input waveform (high group or low group). To successfully meet
these requirements, the duty cycle of the input waveform must be between 49% and 51%. The input
squaring circuit must therefore provide an output
which accurately tracks the input without adversely
affecting the duty cycle. Such a circuit, an inverting
comparator with hysteresis, is illustrated in Figure 4.

C1 is used to ac couple the filter output to the squaring circuit so that DC bias present at the filter output
will not affect the performance of the squaring circuit. R3, R4, and R6 establish a bias level at about
2.5 Volts, and R5 is used to provide the same bias
level at the inverting input of the comparator used in
the squaring circuit. The maximum input bia~ current
for the LM2901 is 500nA, so the DC bias level at the
inverting input is effectively the same as the voltage
at the wiper of R6. R6 must be adjusted so that, for
an input signal level of -28dBm, the output duty
cycle will be 50%. This adjustment compensates for

VII-6

the input offset voltage of the LM2901. R L is the
pullup resistor for the open-collector output of the
comparator. R1 and R2 set the hysteresis level. Their
values are determined by the following approximate
relationships:
VUT=2.5+

(2.5) (R1)
(R1 + R2 + RL)

VLT = (2.5 - VOL) (R2)
(R1 + R2)

where VUT is
the upper
threshold
where VL T is
the lower
threshold and
VOL is the
ou tpu t satu ration voltage

In both cases, any variation due to the current in R5
is ignored.
For central office applications, the tone receiver system must operate over an input signal level range of
-26dBm to +6dBm. The squaring circuit, therefore,
must respond to signal levels of -26d Bm or greater
b_~t is not required to respond to lower signal levels.
To allow for signal attenuation through the band separation filter, the squaring circuit should be set to respond to signal levels of -28dBm or greater. The
-28dBm cutoff point corresponds to a peak-to-peak
voltage of 87.1 mV. For a 50% duty-cycle output
waveform, VUT should be set 43.5mV above and
VL T should be set 43.5mV below the DC bias point.
The passive components for the squaring circuit are
then selected as follows:
RL = 1kD.
R2 = 680kD.
R 1 = 12kD.
R3 = R4 = 470D.

Chosen value.
Chosen value.
Calculated value.
Chosen value for DC bias.

Chosen value. Tradeoff effect on
DC bias vs. drop across R5 due
to 2901 input bias current.
Chosen value. Must be low impedance over frequency range of
683Hz to 1666Hz.
To achieve proper operation at low signal levels, R1
must be 10kD.. The discrepancy between the calculated value and the actual required value results from
component tolerances.

Since many commercially-available filters exhibit a
ringing characteristic at their output, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, additional circuitry is required to
detect the beginning of ringing and squelch the output of the squaring circuit. The required circuitry, an
envelope detector, is shown in Figure 7. The detector
consists of two precision rectifiers, two sample-andhold circuits, and a comparator. C3 is used to couple
the low-group filter output to the envelope detector.
Z1a, 01, C1, R2, and R3 then rectify the incoming
signal and store a peak value. The R2/R3/C1 time
constant is set for 20ms so that the voltage at the inverting input of Z2 will represent Y, the peak value of
the incoming signal. Z1b, 02, R1 and C2 also rectify
the incoming signal and store a peak value, but the
time constant is set for 1.4ms so that the voltage at
the non-inverting input of Z2 will represent the
instantaneous peak value of the incoming waveform.
As long as the instantaneous value is greater than Y, of
the peak value, the comparator output will be high.
However, as soon as the instantaneous value decreases
to less than Y, the peak value (this will occur as ringing begins), the comparator output will go low and
inhibit the output of the squaring circuit. It is necessary to provide only one envelope detector since the
MK5102N-5 will treat the absence of a valid lowgroup/high-group tone combination as interdigit time.

SQUARING

CIRCUIT-TO-DECODER COUPLING

The output of the squaring circuit may be tied directly to the MK5102N-5 if it meets the following requ irements:

The peak-to-peak value of the coupled signal must be
greater than .9 volts but less than V+ volts.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
D 1, D2, D3, and D4 are the data output lines. The
output format present on these pins is determined by
the format control (pin 5) as shown in Table 2.

Logic 1~ 4 volts
Logic 0.;; 1 volt
A squaring circuit with an output that does not meet
these requirements must be capacitively coupled to
the MK5102N-5 with a 0.05J.1F capacitor. The value
of the coupling capacitor is critical because of the
impedance of the bias circuit at the high-group or
!Iow-group input. As shown in Figure 9, the sudden
appearance of a tone burst causes the DC bias point
to shift upward. Until the DC bias returns to its normal level, the input comparator will not switch and
the input signal will be ignored, causing an increase in
the dual-tone detection time. Using a 0.05J.1F capacitor will minimize the effect of this DC level shift.

'Nhen all detection criteria are present, the. MK5102N-5 will latch the proper data into its outputs
and strobe will go high. After an interdigit time has
been detected, strobe will go low, but the data will remain on D1 through D4.
The dual 2-bit row/column code is useful when interfacing a key-to-pulse converter, as shown in Figure
10. On this circuit, the MK51 02N-5, CD4556 and MK
5099 combine to form a tone-to-pulse converter,
which allows the use of DTMF telephones in rotary
exchanges. The DTM F tones are detected by the MK
5102N-5, which then generates the corresponding
row/column code. Each CD4556 then uses this 2-bit
code to select 1 of 4 active-low outputs. The MK5099
then interprets these signals as a valid key closure and
generates a corresponding series of pulses.
VII-9

For simple remote-control applications, the circuit of
Figure 11 is useful. After a valid tone is detected,
strobe will go high and one of the 16 outputs on the
binary-to-1-of-16 encoder will go true. Thus, a DTMF

transmitter and 16-key keyboard can be used to control 1 of 16 functions in a DTMF receiver. Each control pulse will have its width controlled by Strobe.

RECEIVER TESTING
Equipment connections for testing a DTMF receiver
are shown in Figure 12. The setup consists of a cassette player (ideally with a speed adjustment), a digital frequency counter, and a voltmeter. A Mitel
CM7290 Tone Receiver Test Cassette was used in all
the receiver tests described below. This cassette
checks receiver detection bandwidth, maximum
acceptable amplitude ratio (twist), receiver guard
time, dynamic range and acceptable signal-to-noise
ratio. It also evaluates the receiver talk-off rate with a
condensed speech recording equivalent to many hours
of receiver exposure. The CM7290 is available from
Mitel at the locations listed.

There are several considerations in setting up a receiver test. First, the recorder should have a speed adjustment and an output level adjustment. Each side of
the CM7290 contains a 1 kHz calibration tone. To set
up properly for the test, the speed of the recorder
should be adjusted so that the tone frequency is 1 kHz
and the cassette player output level should be adjusted to 2 volts RMS. The cassette player must be
able to provide the 2-volt output level without clipping. If a speed adjustment is not available, printed
instructions included with the CM7290 provide a formula for correcting some of the test results. Second,
the strobe output of the MK5102N-5 should be tied
to the input of the event counter and the counter's
sensitivity input adjusted so as to prevent false triggering. This can easily be done by repeating test 2a on
the CM7290 until consistent results are obtained.
Third, any sources of environmental noise (electric
motors, speed controls, etc) should be eliminated so
that they will not introduce count errors on the event
counter.

OTHER SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
System noise will affect the operation of the
M K51 02N-5 by causing the detection bandwidth to
shrink_ The instantaneous value of the low-group or
high-group waveform is represented by the following
approximate relationship, a = aT sin wTt + aN sin
wNt, where a is the instantaneous amplitude of the
overall waveform, aT is the amplitude of the highgroup or low-group component, and a1\1 is the amplitude of the noise_ If the highly-simplified noise term
(aN sin wNt) were removed, then the remaining term
would represent a pure sine wave and the zero crossings of the waveform would be repeatable from cycle
to cycle. All detection criteria would be present and
the DTMF tone would be detected within a ± 2.0% to

introduces instantaneous amplitude variations which
will effectively alter the duty cycle of the sine wave
by causing the zero crossing points to jitter. If 0.5%
jitter is caused by system noise, detection bandwidth
will be decreased by _5%. Therefore, as the system
noise level increases, the detection bandwidth will decrease.
As noted in the Filter Requirements paragraph, the
33dB band separation requirement allows for a SIN
ratio of 18dB, with 6dB of twist, which means that
the algorithm in the MK5102N-5 has been set up to
provide a ± 2% minimum detection bandwidth in the
presence of noise which is 18dB below the signal
level and in the presence of high-group and low-group
signals with an amplitude difference of 6dB.

VII-13

SUMMARY
The MK5102N-5 provides a high-performance solution for DTMF detection at a lower cost than competing approaches. Band separation requirements for
the MK5102N-5 are not as stringent as for competing
designs, and, as was seen in the test results of Table 4
and Table 5, the MK5102N-5 provides excellent.talkoff rejection. When used in conjunction with either
the Cermetek or the North Electric filters, the
M K51 02N-5 will give the user a high'quality DTM F
receiver which may be used in myriad applications.

MK5102/S3525A
DTMF Receiver System
An inexpensive DTMF receiver system with a low parts
count may be constructed using the Mostek MK5l02 or
MK5l03 Tone Decoder with the AMI S3525A Bandsplit
Filter. The S3525A is an l8-pin monolithic CMOS
switched-capacitor filter. It uses a 3.58 MHz crystal as a
time base and has a buffered clock output to drive the
oscillator of the MK51 02/3. The S3525A also has on-chip
comparators which can be used to construct adjustable
squaring circuits.

will be well within its range.) With the potentiometer
adjusted so that the filter has unity gain, the results listed in
Tables 1,2, and 3 should be obtained. Tables 1 and 2 show
the Mitel test tape (CM7291 ) results for the DTMF receiver
system using the S3525A and the MK5102 or MK5103,
respectively. Table 3 shows the Minimum Tone Coincidence Duration for the system using the MK5102 and
MK5103 at various input levels.
The operation of the circuit shown in Figure 1 has been
verified at temperatures of O°C, 25°C, and 70°C. However,
Tables 1,2, and 3 show only the data for circuit operation at
25°C.

Using the circuit shown in Figure 1, the duty cycle of the
signals provided to the MK51 02 should be within the 50 ±
1% range which is required for reliable operation. (Since the
MK5103 requires a 50 ± 3% duty cycle, the input signals

DESCRIPTION
The MK5103 is a monolithic integrated circuit
fabricated using the complementary-symmetry MOS
(CMOS) process. Using an inexpensive 3.579545 MHz
television color-burst crysta I for reference, the MK51 03
detects and decodes the 8 standard DTMF frequencies
used in telephone dialing. The requirement of only a
single supply and its construction in a 16-pin package
make the MK5103 ideal for applications requiring
minimum size and external parts count.
The MK5103 detects the high~ and low-group DTMF
tones after band splitting using a digital counting
method. The zero crossings of the incoming tones are
counted over several periods and the results averaged

over a longer period. When a minimum of 30
milliseconds of a valid DTMF digit is detected, the
proper data is latched into the outputs and the output
strobe goes high. When a valid digit is no longer
detected, the strobe will return low and the data will
remain latched into the outputs. Minimum interdigit
time is 35 milliseconds.
The MK51 03 is designed to interface with the MK5099
Integrated Pulse Dialer with only one additional DIP
package. These two parts working together form a
DTMF-to-Pulse converter that meets the recognized
telephone standards.
A block diagram of the MK5103 is shown in Figure 2.
Functions of the individual pins are described beginning

The MK5103 contains an on-board inverter with
sufficient gain to provide oscillation when working with
a low-cost television "color-burst" crystal. The inverter
input is OSC IN (pin 2) and output is OSC OUT (pin 3).
The circuit is designed to work with a crystal cut to

The Control pin is used to control the output format of
Pins 7 through 10. This three-state input selects a 4-bit

Note:

The circuitry driving these inputs, as shown in Figure 4,
should be squaring circuits which use resistive dividers
to set the output duty cycle to 50%. The squaring circuit
shown was designed to provide hysteresis and allow the
circuit to respond to signal levels of -28dBm or greater,
where -28dBm corresponds to a peak-to-peak voltage
of 87.1 mV. Any squaring circuit providing a 47% - 53%
duty cycle over the receiver and dynamic range is
sufficient.

Col 4

Column 4 is for special applications and is not normally used in
telephone dialing.

The high-group and low-group signals are provided by
the high-group filter and the low-group filter, as shown
in Figure 4. These filters have the response
characteristics shown in Figure 5 and are used to
separate the DTMF signal into its high-group and lowgroup components.

NOTES:

APPLICATIONS
Two possible applications of the MK5103 are shown in
Figure 6 and Figure 7. The dual2-bit row/column code
is useful when interfacing a key-to-pulse converter, as
shown in Figure 6. On this circuit, the MK5103N-5,
C04556 and MK5099 combine to form a tone-to-pulse
converter, which allows the use of OTMF telephones in
rotary exchanges. The OTMF tones are detected by the
MK51 03N-5, which then generates the corresponding
row/column code. Each C045.56 then uses this 2-bit
code to select 1 of 4 active-low outputs. The MK5099
then interprets these signals as a valid key closure and
. generates a corresponding series of pulses.

TONE-TO-PULSE CONVERTER
Figure 6

For simple remote-control applications, the circuit of
Figure 7 is useful. After a valid tone is detected, strobe
will go high and one of the 16 outputs on the binary-to1 -of-16 encoder will go true. Thus, a OTMF transmitter
and 16-key keyboard can be used to control 1 of 16
functions in a OTMF receiver.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5242 is a monolithic integrated active speech
network manufactured using a bipolar process. The
MK5242 performs the 2-to-4 wire conversion function
typically accomplished using a hybrid transformer-type
speech network. In replacing the conventional speech
network. the MK5242 also provides the capability of
interface with low-cost transducers for the transmitter and
receiver.
The MK5242 is designed such that it may interface with

VIII-1

Mostek tone dialers with minimal external circuitry. It
provides a voltage regulated output for tone-dialer
applications which require fixed supply operation. The
MK5242 will also interface with Mostek pulse dialers.
The MK5242 operates directly from the telephone line with
no external power supply and requires a minimal amount of
external components. It features on-chip loop-current
regulation and will compensate for loop length with
automatically adjusted equalization.

XM IT SYNC, Pin 6 (Refer to Figure 10 for the Timing

MK5116 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 3

This input is synchronized with XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC goes high, the digital output is activated and
the AID conversion begins on the next positive edge of
MASTER CLOCK. The conversion by MASTER CLOCK
can be asynchronous with XMIT CLOCK. The serial
output data is clocked out by the positive edges of XMIT
CLOCK. The negative edge of XMIT SYNC causes the
digital output to become three-state. XMIT SYNC may
remain high longer than 8 XMIT CLOCK cycles, but must
go low for at least 1 master clock prior to the
transmission of the next digital word(Refer to Figure 12).

The on-chip 8-bit output shift register of the MK5116
is unloaded at the clock rate present on this pin. Clock
rates of 64kHz- 2.1 MHz can be used for XMIT CLOCK.
The positive edge of the INTERNAL CLOCK transfers the
data from the master to the slave of a master-slave flipflop (Refer to Figure 5). If the positive edge ofXMIT SYNC
occurs after the positive edge of XMIT CLOCK, XMIT
SYNC will determine when the first positive edge of
INTERNAL CLOCK will occur. In this event, the hold time
for the first clock pulse is measured from the positive
edge of XMIT SYNC.

SECTION

This input is synchronized with RCV. CLOCKand serial
data is clocked in by RCV. CLOCK. Duration of the RCV.
SYNC pulse is approximately 8 RCV. CLOCK periods.
The conversion from digital-to-analog starts after the
negative edge of the RCV. SYNC pulse (Refer to Figure
4). The negative edge of RCV. SYNC should occur before
the 9th positive clock edge to insure that only eight bits
are clocked in. RCV. SYNC must stay low for 17
MASTER CLOCKS (min.) before the next digital word is
to be received (Refer to Figure 13).

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE REFERENCE
VOLTAGES (+VREFand -V REF ) Pins 16 and 15
These inputs provide the conversion references for the
digital-to-analogconverters in the MK5116. +VREF and
-VREF must maintain 100ppM/oC regulation over the
operating temperature range. Variation of the reference
directly affects system gain.

RCV CLOCK, Pin 1 0 (Refer to Figure 11 for Timing
Diagram)

ANALOG INPUT, Pin 1
Voice-frequency analog signals which are bandwidthlimited to 4kHz are input at this pin. Typically, they are then
sampled at an 8kHz rate (Refer to Figure 4). The analog input
must remain between +VREF and -VREF for accurate
conversion. The recommended input interface circuit is
shown in Figure 9.
MASTER CLOCK, Pin 5
This signal provides the basic timing and control signals
required for all internal conversions. It does not have to
be synchronized with RCV. SYNC, RCV. CLOCK, XMIT
SYNC or XMIT CLOCK and is not internally related to
them.

The on-chip 8-bit shift register for the MK5116 is
loaded at the clock rate present on this pin. Clock rates
of 64kHz-2.1 MHz can be used for RCV. CLOCK. Valid
data should be applied to the digital input before the
positive edge of the internal clock (Refer to Figure 5).
This set up time, tRDS, allows the data to be transferred
into the MASTER of a master-slave flip-flop. The
positive edge of the INTERNAL CLOCK transfers the
data to the SLAVE of the master-slave flip-flop. A hold
time. tRDH, is required to complete this transfer. If the
rising edge of RCV. SYNC occurs after the first rising
edge of RCV. CLOCK, RCV. SYNC will determine when
the first positive edge of INTERNAL CLOCK will occur. In
this event. the set up and hold times for the first clock
pulse should be measured from the positive edge of
RCV. SYNC.

DIGITAL OUTPUT, Pin 8
The MK5116 output register stores the a-bit encoded
sample of the analog input. This a-bit word is shifted out
under control of XMIT SYNC and XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC is low, the DIGITAL OUTPUT is an open
circuit. When XMIT SYNC is high, the state of the
DIGITAL OUTPUT is determined by the value of the
output bit in the serial shift register. The output is
composed of a Sign Bit, 3 Chord Bits, and 4 Step Bits.
The Sign Bit indicates the polarity of the analog input
while the Chord and Step Bits indicate the magnitude. I n
the first Chord, the Step Bit has a value of O.6mV. In the'
second Chord, the StE!P Bit has a value of 1 .2mV. This

doubling of the step value continues for each of the six
successive Chords.
Each Chord has a specific value and the Step Bits, 16 in
each Chord, specify the displacement from that va
(Refer to Table 1). Thus the output, which follows the
1-1-255 law, has resolution that is proportional to the
input level rather than to full scale. This provides the
resolution of a 12-bit AID converter at low input levels
and that of a 6-bit converter as the input approaches full
scale. The transfer characteristic of the A/D converter
(Wlaw Encoder) is shown in Figure 6.

duty cycle) having amplitude equal tothe analog sample
which was encoded. This waveform is then filtered with
an external low-pass filter with sinx/x correction to
recreate the sampled voice signal.

OFFSET NULL
The offset null feature of the MK5116 eliminates
long-term drift errors and conversion errors due to
temperature changes by going through an offset
adjustment cycle before every conversion, thus
guaranteeing accurate AID conversion for inputs near
ground. There is no offset adjust of the output amplifier
because, since the output is intended to be AC - coupled
to the external filter, the resultant DC error (VOFFSET 0)
will have no effect. The sign bit is not used to null the
analog input. Therefore, for an analog input of 0 volts,
the sign bit will be stable.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5151 is a monolithic CMOS companding
CODEC which contains two sections: (1) An analog-todigital converter which has a transfer characteristic
conforming to the w255 companding law and (2) a
digital-to-analog converter which also conforms to the
w255 law.

A block diagram of a PCM system using the MK5151 is
shown in Figure 2.

This input is synchronized with XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC goes high, the digital output is activated and
the AID conversion begins on the next positive edge of
MASTER CLOCK. The conversion by MASTER CLOCK
can be asynchronous with XMIT CLOCK. The serial
output data is clocked out by the positive edges of XMIT
CLOCK. The negative edge of XMIT SYNC causes the
digital output to become three-state. XMIT SYNC must
go low for at least 1 master clock prior to the
transmission of the next digital word. (Refer to Figure
14).

The on-chip 8-bit output shift register of the MK5151 is

The positive edge of the INTERNAL CLOCK transfers the
data from the master to the slave of a master-slave flipflop(Referto Figure 5). If the positive edge ofXMIT SYNC

These inputs provide the conversion references for the
digital-to-analog converters in the MK5151 . +VREF and
-VREF must maintain 100ppM/oC regulation over the
operating temperature range. Variation ofthe reference
directly affects system gain.

This input is synchronized with RCV. CLOCK and serial
data is clocked in by RCV. CLOCK. Duration of the RCV.
~YNC pulse is approximately 8 RCV. CLOCK periods.
The conversion from digital-to-analog starts after the
negative edge of the RCV. SYNC pulse (Refer to Figure
4). The negative edge of RCV. SYNC should occur before
the 9th positive clock edge to insure that only eight bits
are" clocked in. RCV. SYNC must stay low for 17
MASTER CLOCKS (min.)'before the next digital word is
to be received (Refer to Figure 15).
RCV CLOCK. Pin 7 (Refer to Figure 13 for Timing
Diagram)

ANALOG INPUT. Pin 20
Voice-frequency analog signals which are bandwidthlimited to 4kHz are input at this pin. Typically, they are
then sampled at an 8kHz rate (Refer to Figure 4.). The
analog input must remain between +VREF and ~VREF
for accurate conversion. The recommended input interface
circuit is shown in Figure 11.
MASTER CLOCK. Pin 22
This signal provides the basic timing and control signals
required for all internal conversions. It does not have to
be synchronized with RCV. SYNC, RCV: CLOCK, XMIT
SYNC or XMIT CLOCK and is not internally related to
them.

The on-chip 8-bit shift register for the MK5151 is loaded
at the clock rate present on this pin. Clock rates of
64kHz-2.1 MHz can be used for RCV. CLOCK. Valid data
should be applied to the digital input before the positive
edge of the internal clock (Refer to Figure 5). This set up
time, tRlls, allows the data to be transferred into the
MASTER of a master-slave flip-flop. The positive edge of
the INTERNAL CLOCK transfers the data to the SLAVE
of the master-slave flip-flop. A hold time, tRI>H. is
required to complete this transfer. If the rising edge of
RCV. SYNC occurs after the first rising edge of RCV.
CLOCK, RCV. SYNC will determine when the first
positive edge of INTERNAL CLOCK will occur. In this

while the Chord and Step Bits indicate the magnitude. In
the first Chord, the Step Bit has a value of O.6mV. In the
second Chord, the Step Bit has a value of 1.2rriV. This
doubling of the step value continues for each of the six
successive Chords.

The MK5151 output register stores the 8-bit encoded
sample of the analog input. This 8-bit word is shifted out
under control of XMIT SYNC and XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC is low, the DIGITAL OUTPUT is an open
circuit. When XMIT SYNC is high, the state of the
DIGITAL OUTPUT is determined by the value of the
output bit in the serial shift register. The output is
composed of a Sign Bit, 3 Chord Bits, and 4 Step Bits.
The Sign Bit indicates the polarity of the analog input

Each Chord has a specific value and the Step Bits, 16 in
each Chord, specify the displacement from that value
(Refer to Table 1). Thus the output, which follows the
1L-255 law, has resolution that is proportional to the
input level rather than to full scale. This provides the
resolution of a 12-bit AID converter at low input levels
and that of a 6-bit converter as the input approaches full
scale. The transfer characteristic of the AID converter
(IL-Iaw Encoder) is shown in Figure 6.

The MK5151 input register accepts the 8-bit sample of
an analog value and loads it under control of RCV. SYNC
and RCV. CLOCK. The timing diagram is shown in
Figure 13. When RCV. SYNC goes high, the MK5151
uses RCV. CLOCK to clock the serial data into its input
register. RCV. SYNC goes low to indicate the end of
serial input data. The 8 bits of the input data have the
same functions described for the SERIAL OUTPUT. The

ANALOG OUTPUT, Pin 14
The analog output is in the form of voltage steps (1 00%
duty cycle) having amplitude equal tothe analog sample
which was encoded. This waveform is then filtered with
an external low-pass filter with sinxlx correction to
recreate the sampled voice signal. When the 8th bit of
the word is a signalling bit, it is assigned a value of Vz
step. This results in a lower system quantization error
rate than would result if the bit were arbitarily set to
(no step) or 1 (full step).

OFFSET NULL
The offset null feature of the MK5151 eliminates longterm drift errors and conversion errors due to
temperature changes by going through an offset
adjustment cycle before every conversion, thus
guaranteeing accurate AID conversion for inputs near
ground. There is no offset adjust of the output amplifier
because, since the output is intended to be AC - coupled
to the external filter, the resultant DC error (VOFFSET/O)
will have no effect. The sign bit is not used to null the
analog input. Therefore, for an analog input of 0 volts,
the sign bit will be stable.

analog signal provided by the.HP3551A Transmission
Test Set is connected to the Analog Input (Pin 20) of the
MK5151. The Digital Output of the CODEC is tied back
to the Digital Input and the Analog Output is fed through
a low-pass filter to the HP3551 A. Remaining pins ofthe

SIGNALLING TIMING REQUIREMENTS FOR

Additional timing signals are shown in Figure 9.

When all the above requirements are met, the setup of
Figure 10 permits the measurement of synchronous
system performance over a wide range of analog inputs.
The data register and ideal decoder provide a means of
checking the encoder portion of the MK5151
independently of the decoder section. To test the system
in the asynchronous mode, MASTER CLOCK should be
separated from XMIT CLOCK and MASTER
should be separated from RCV. CLOCK. XMIT CLOCK
and RCV. CLOCK are separated.also.

PCM SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM

DESCRIPTION
The MK5156 is a monolithic CMOS companding
CODEC which contains two sections: (1) An a~aiog-to­
digital converter which has a transfer characteristic
conforming to the A-law companding code and (2) a
digital-to-analog converter which iilso conforms to the
A-law code.

Figure 2

These two sections form a coder-decoder which is designed
to meet the needs of the telecommunications industry for
per-channel voice-frequency codecs used in digital
switching and transmission systems. Digital input and
output are in serial format. Actual transmission and
reception of 8-bit data words containing the analog
information is done at a 64kb/s-2.1 Mb/s rate with analog
signal sampling occuring at an 8kHz rate. A sync pulse input

This input is synchronized with XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC goes high, the digital outputis activated and
the AID conversion begins on the next positive edge of
. MASTER CLOCK. The conversion by MASTER CLOCK
can be asynchronous with XMIT CLOCK. The serial
output data is clocked out by the positive edges of XMIT
CLOCK. The negative edge of XMIT SYNC causes the
digital output to become three-state. XMIT SYNC must
go low for at' least 1 master clock prior to the
transmission of the next digital word (Refer .to Figure

The conversion from digital-to-analog starts after the

DIGITAL OUTPUT, Pin 8
The MK5156 output register stores the 8-bit encoded
sample of the analog input. This 8-bitword is shifted out
under control of XMIT SYNC and XMIT CLOCK. When
XMIT SYNC is low, the. DIGITAL OUTPUT is an open
circuit. When XMIT SYNC is high, the state of the
DIGITAL OUTPUT is determined by the value of the
output bit in the serial shift register. The output is
composed of a Sign Bit, 3 Chord Bits, and 4 Step Bits.
The Sign Bit indicates the polarity of the analog input
while the Chord and Step Bits indicate the magnitude. In
the first two Chords, the Step Bit has a value of 1.2mV.
In the third Chord, the Step Bit has a value of 2.4mV.
This doubling of the step value continues for each ofthe
five successive Chords.

Each Chord has a specific value and the Step Bits, 16 in
each Chord, specify the displacement from that value
(Refer to Table 1). Thus the output, which follows the Alaw, has resolution that is proportional to the input level
rather than to full scale. This provides the resolution of a
12-bit AID converter at low input levels and that of a 6bit converter as the input approaches full scale. The
transfer characteristic of the AID converter (A-law
Encoder) is shown in Figure 6.
DIGITAL II\IPUT, Pin 12
The MK5156 input register accepts the 8-bit sample
of an an-alog value and loads it under control of RCV.
SYNC and RCV. CLOCK. The timing diagram is shown in
Figure 11. When RCV. SYNC goes high, the MK5156
uses RCV. CLOCK to clock the serial data into its input
register. RCV. SYNC goes low to indicate the end of
serial input data. The 8 bits of the input data have the
same functions described for the DIGITAL OUTPUT. The

Decoder) is shown in Figure 7.

OFFSET NULL
The offset null feature of the MK5156 eliminates
long-term drift errors and conversion errors due to
temperature changes by going through an offset
adjustment cycle before every conversion, th us
guaranteeing accurate AID conversion for inputs near
ground. There is no offset adjust of the output amplifier
because, since the output is intended to beAC - coupled
to the external filter, the resultant DC error (VOFFSET/O)

CHARACTERISTIC
The equipment connections shown in Figure 8 can be
used to evaluate the performance of the MK5156. An
analog signal provided by the HP3552A Transmission
Test Set is connected to the Analog Input (Pin 1) of the
MK5156. The Digital Output of the CODEC is tied
back to the Digital Input and the Analog Output is fed
through a low-pass filter to the HP3552A. Remaining

converter. The operational amplifier's output is available for
use in an inverting gain configuration at the transmit stage.
By disabling the amplifier, this output can be used as a
noninverting high-impedance input to the band-pass filter.
The band-pass, switched-capacitor filter provides rejection
ofthe 50-60 Hz power line frequency and the band-limiting
required for an 8 kHz sampling system. The A/D converter
transforms the band-limited, voice-frequency signals into
8-bit words using one of two selectable companding laws.
The encoded data is transmitted in a serial format under the
control of the transmit clock and transmit synchronization
inputs.

DESCRIPTION
The MK5316 is a monolithic device containing a
companding CODEC and PCM filters on a single chip. This
device has been designed to meet the needs of the
telecommunications industry for per-channel, voicefrequency CODECs and PCM filters. Both the transmit and
receive sections have been incorporated into a single
package with negligible loss of crosstalk immunity. Typical
device applications are PBX systems, central offices,
channel banks, and other telephone digital switching and
transmission systems.
The MK5316 transmit section is composed of an input
amplifier, a band-pass filter, and a compressing A/D

The receive section of the MK5316 is composed of an
expanding D/A converter and a low-pass filter. The D/A
converter receives 8-bit words in a serial format under
control of the receive clock and receive synchronization
inputs. The low-pass, switched-capacitor fi Iter smooths the
voltage steps of the D/ A converter and provides
compensation for the sinx/x dE;!coder response. The receive
filter output may then be adjusted to system levels by use of
a voltage divider network.
The MK5316 also features a stable on-chip voltage
reference. This reference provides excellent gain stability
over a wide temperature range and under various supply
voltage conditions.

INTEGRATED PCM CODEC

Technology Update
INTRODUCTION

A general trend towards the conversion of voice signals to digital information is currently occurring.
TDM PCM is the most popular form of digital transmission.

per word are transmitted in a serial bit stream at
1.544 Mbits/sec. Each voice channel is sampled at an
8kHz rate so this signal must be bandlimited to less
than 4kHz in order to prevent undesirable aliasing.

Today there are several important applications for
this TDM scheme:
1. A high speed digital data link between central
offices to pass many conversations over one pair
of wires.
2. The electronic connection of two different circuit
paths.
3. Concentrators

Figure 1 shows how a 1 kHz input signal is sampled
every 125 flsec. At each of these sampling times, the
analog information is converted into an eight-bit
digital word that is later sent out in serial format at
the 1.544 Mbits/sec rate.

Traditionally this connection had been done by
electromechanical crossreed switches. Very low "on"
resistance, low crosstalk, and immunity from the
large ringing or transient voltages were required. Since
the electromechanical technique was deemed to be of
lower reliability, an all electronic approach was
desired. Electronic cross point switches were designed
and built, but because the electrical requirements
mentioned above are extremely difficult to meet, the
resultswere not entirely satisfying.
The digital approach obviates the analog switch problem by first performing an A to D conversion, then
assigning a time slot for each voice channel. For the
D3 channel bank, 24 channels of digital data of 8 bits

Figure 2 shows how the 24 voice channels are time
division multiplexed onto one wire (for simplicity
only simplex operation is shown).
Channel 1 analog information is first bandlimited to
less than 4kHz, then sampled and converted to a companded digital code. This 8 bit word is serially transmitted to a mu Itiplexer where digital information
from all the other channels are assimalated. The final
bit stream of 1.544mbit/sec is sent to the demu Itiplexer where the appropriate alphanumeric channel is
connected to numeric channel. This control (selection) is done by the main computer or processor.
One may see that any numeric channel could be connected to any alphanumeric channel by means of a
different time slot assignment. This completes the
switching in a completely digital manner.

For T1 carrier systems, the digital PCM information
might be transmitted between central offices. For
PBX applications, the PCM technique is used to allow
the switching to be done digitally. The accuracy of
the subsequent O-A conversion preserves the voice
quality so that insertion loss is not a problem.
We selected the metal gate CMOS process for several
reasons. First it is extremely low power, which is of
great concern. Secondly, it allows for high-quality,
matched capacitors in a minimum of chip size. Critical analog circuit design is done well in CMOS: for
example, high gain ampl ifiers and comparators. Also,
the metal gate CMOS process is one that is well
proven in high volume production.
By using the CMOS process, only two supplies are
necessary, plus and minus five volts. To minimize
power, all the digital logic is run from the plus 5V
supply to ground, and only the analog section operates from ± 5 volts.

CHIP ARCHITECTURE
Figure 3 shows the block diagram representation of
the COOEC chip. The important features of the
scheme used are listed below:
1. Two independent OAC's for encode and decode
functions provide system isolation not achievable
using shared OAC approach. The capacitive two
OAC approach also eliminates external sample/
hold capacitors as well as an external filterfor offset
which is required in the shared DAC approach. This
minimizes the external components required.
2. Complete signalling compatibility with 03 channel bank requirements.
3. Since the companding law is implemented using 8
to 13 bit converter, the OAC is a linear OAC thus
minimizing the number of analog components to
only the minimum required for system implementation, namely two: one comparator and only one
op-amp on the entire chip. Minimizing the linear

components helps reduce system operating power
which was the overriding consideration in chip design. Using the CMOS process, the digital portions
dissipate power only during transitions. The linear
sections consume power continuously.
4. The digital companding section allows easy conversion from mu-Iaw to A-law. The CODEC allows
data input/output rates from 64kHz to 2.1 MHz.
5. Asynchronous or synchronous operation.
MODES OF OPERATION
The XMIT and Receive function are completely independent of each other and of the master clock. Thus
the chip can operate in synchronous/asynchronous
mode at various input/output clock rates. The chip
timing diagram is shown in Figure 4 and the Receive
and XM IT modes of operation are described in detail
below:
(a) Receive Mode of Operation
In the receive mode of operation, the serial input
data is shifted into the input buffer at the receive
clock rate during the period receive sync. is high.

The encode process is halted after the falling edge
of receive sync pulse) for about 5 to 7 p'S, and the
translated data from 8 to 13 bit converter is latched
into the 13 bit receive latch which updates the
output ofthe receive DAC with 100% duty cycle. The
receive DAC acts as a sample and hold and is
buffered by the unity gain op amp to the output.
During the signalling frame a 7 bit decode is performed and the 8th data bit is latched into the
SigA/SigB output latch as selected by the A/B Select (RCV) input. When the eight bit of a word is
a signalling bit, it is assigned the value of Y, step.
This results in a lower SID ratio than if it were
arbitrarily set to either a one or zero.
'
(b) Transmit Mode of Operation:
I n this mode of operation the analog signal is
sampled in the input sample/hold which performs
the offset-null function simultaneously as described
in the circuit operation section. Following the hold
mode, the encoding process is completed using
successive approximation technique. The operation
of the XMIT DAC is similar to the operation of the
receive DAC as described earlier. After the encode

process is completed, the output of the SAR is
loaded into the output buffer. The data is transmitted serially at the output clock rate during the
period the XMIT SYNC is high. During the signalling
frame, signalling information (SigA/SigB) is inserted into the output bit stream in place of the 8th
data bit as selected by the AlB select (SMIT) input.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The system timing is controlled by the sequence controller which operates at master clock rate of 1.5 - 2.1
MHz. All necessary signals, e.g. and S&H, SAR clock
EncodelDecode control, etc; are generated in this
section. To insure proper encode operation, decode
interrupt is allowed only when the internal SAR clock is

lowthus resulting in a variable (5-7 !lsI decode interrupt
interval.
The 8 to 13 bit converter gives a one-to-one translation between 8 bit companded code at its input to a
13 bit linear code at its output thus allowing the use
of a linear DAC in the digital-to-analog conversion
process.
The 13-bit linear DAC operates on the charge distribution principal of a binary weighted capacitor
ladder.
As shown in Figure 5, the capacitor ladder has two
sections of 7 bits (7 most significant bits) and 6 bits
(6 least significant bits) connected by a 64: 1 capacitor divider. The equivalent circuit of the two sections
can be drawn as shown in Figure 6.

Then switch S2 is opened and S, is switched to analog ground. The voltage at the inverting input of the
op-amp is now Voff-Vin. Thus when the amplifier
operates with S2 open it acts as a comparator with
effectively zero offset and -Vin applied on its
inverting input. The other end of the capacitor can
now be operated as a OAC. Thus the capacitor ladder
performs all the necessary functions of offset-null
sample-hold as well as a DAC in the encode section of
the chip.

gain of the receive signal may be attenuated by using a
resistor divider as shown in Figure 5. The resistive load
connected to VFRO should be greater than 10 kO. The
maximum output voltage range is ±2.5 V and the output
offset is less than 200 mV.
If the receive filter is to drive a transformer hybrid, VFRO
should be connected to PWRI (Pin 5) as shown in Figure 6.

PWRI, Pin 5
Pin 5 provides the input to the power driver amplifiers which
interface the receive filter to a transformer hybrid. PWRI is a
high impedance input which can be driven by VFRO directly.
The input voltage range is ± 2.5 Vand the gain for a bridged
output is 6 dB. The power amplifiers may be deactivated
when not being utilized by tying PWRI to V BB .

This balanced differential-output amplifier stage is provided
to drive low impedance loads directly. The gain of the
receive signal may be adjusted by a voltage divider as
shown in Figure 6. The series impedance of a load resistor
and the hybrid transformer should present an ac load
impedance of 600 0 (min.) to the amplifiers in a bridged
configuration. With a 600 0 load between pins 6 and 7, the
maximum voltage swing across the load is ± 5.0 volts.
These amplifiers may also be used to drive loads which are
connected to ground.

This op amp has a common mode range of ± 1.77 V, low dc
offset (2.5 mV typ.) and can provide a voltage gain greater
than 2000. The unity gain bandwidth is approximately
2 MHz. The transmit filter, excluding the input op amp,
provides a gain of +3 dB in the passband.

GS x , Pin 3
Pin 3 is connected to the output of the gain-adjustment op
amp in the transmit filter section. For proper operation, the
load impedance connected to the GS x output should be
greater than 10 kO in parallel with 20 pF (Referto Figure 5).

Power consumption iscut significantly by tying PWRI to V BB
which deactivates the power amplifiers.
V BB , Pin 8
Pin 8 is the negative supply pin. The voltage supplied to this
pin should be -5 V ± 5%.

Pin 4 is the output of the receive (low-pass) filter and is
capable of driving high impedance electronic hybrids. The

Pin 10 is the analog input to the receive filter. The receive
signal is typically generated by the decoder section of a p. or
A-law companding COOEC. The receive filter is a low-pass
switched-capacitor filter which will pass frequencies up to
3200 Hz and provides the sin x/x correction needed to give
the COOEC decoder and receive filter pair unity gain over
the passband.

and the receive filter. The combined response meets the stated specifications

GRDD, Pin 11

ClK, Pin 12

Pin 11 serves as the digital ground return for the internal
clock. The digital ground is not internally connected to the
analog ground. The digital and analog grounds should be
tied together as close as practical to the system supply
ground.

The digital clock signal should be supplied to Pin 12. Four
clock frequencies (1.536 MHz. 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz. or
2.560 MHz) may be used. The desired clock frequency is
selected by the ClKS input (Refer to Table 1). For proper
operation this clock should be tied to the receive clock ofthe

CODEC.

Open Circuit

This control input is used to place the MK5912-3 in the
standby power-down mode. Power down occurs when the
signal on this input is pulled high. Standard TIL levels may
be used. An internal pull up to the positive supply is
provided. A settling time of 15 ms (typ.) should be allowed
after power is restored.

ClKS, Pin 14

*The MK5912-3 can be used with a 1.544 MHz clock in the mode shown above.
This is accomplished by externally suppressing every 193rd bit from the
incoming train of 1.544 MHz clock bits.

The voltage level on this pin will select the desired clock
frequency to drive Pin 12. Table 1 defines the clock

250 mV. This output should be ac coupled to the transmit
(encoder) section of the CO DEC.

GRDA, Pin 15

DECOUPLING RECOMMENDATIONS

Pin 15 serves as the ground retwn forthe analog circuits of
the transmit and receive sections. The analog ground is not
internally connected to the digital ground. The digital and
analog ground should be tied together as close as practical
to the system supply ground.

PC board decoupling should be sufficient to prevent power
supply transients (including turn on and turn off) from
exceeding the absolute maximum rating of the device. A
minimum of 1/-IF is recommended for each power supply.
A 0.05 /-IF bypassing capacitor should also be connected
from each power supply to GRDA at the MK5912-3 device.
However, this decoupling may be reduced depending on
board design and performance.

VFxO, Pin 16
pin 16 is the analog output of the transmit filter. The output
voltage range is ± 2.5 volts and the dc offset is less than
