Design and Implementation of DTMF Detector
Telephone units are ubiquitous. They can be found in almost every house. In some houses with many rooms, a line is paralleled so that anybody can receive and make calls from different rooms. Their presence could be used for other purposes instead of making call per se. This module’s application can be found in the smart home automatic system incorporating a telephone unit as an input module. Using a telephone unit, somebody can control a remote system, as far as the telephone line can reach. To do so, such an interface between the telephone line and the control system is needed. DTMF Detector 2.0 is designed for this purpose. Description DTMF Detector 2.0 is a microcontroller system extension module that detects TMF tones and then decodes the tones into coded binary digits. Using DTMF Decoder, the 2.0 design engineer could interface the analog signal of the telephone line with the microcontroller system’s digital logic in a straight-ahead manner. Module Specifications The module specifications are as follows: 1. Input: DTMF tones from telephone line (analog signal) 2. Output: Decoded binary digits which correspond with DTMF tones. Block Diagram Figure 1 shows the block diagram of DTMF Detector 2.0. The module consists…
