• Frequency Detection Range:
• Low Group: 697Hz, 770Hz, 852Hz, 941Hz
• High Group: 1209Hz, 1336Hz, 1477Hz, 1633Hz
• Output: 4-bit binary code (Q1-Q4) representing the detected DTMF digit

Descriptions:

The MT8870DE is a complete DTMF receiver that decodes standard telephone keypad tones into a 4-bit binary output. It includes band-split filters and digital decoding functions to accurately detect DTMF signals while rejecting speech and noise.

Features:

• Integrated Bandpass Filters: Separates high and low DTMF tone groups.
• Digital Counting Decoder: Uses digital counting techniques for accurate detection.
• Guard Time Adjustment: Ensures reliable decoding with adjustable validation timing.
• StD (Steering) Output: Indicates valid DTMF signal detection.
• Inhibit Mode: Prevents false detection during signal transitions.
• CMOS-Compatible Outputs: Direct interface with microcontrollers and logic circuits.

This IC is commonly used in telecommunication systems, remote control applications, and DTMF-based automation.
