Call Progress Tone Generation
Call progress tones are audible tones sent from
switching systems to calling parties (or equipment) to
indicate the status of calls. Calling parties can identify
the success of a placed call by what is heard after dial-
ing. The M-991 series utilizes a highly linear tone gen-
erator that produces the unique frequencies (singly or
in pairs) that are common to call progress signals.
Duration and frequency selection are digitally con-
trolled (see the Data/Tone Selection table below for
data settings for a particular tone output). A typical
control sequence for the M-991 is: (1) set data lines to
desired frequency selection, (2) wait for data lines to
settle, (3) drive the chip enable (CE) low, (4) maintain
CE low for desired tone duration (Note: data lines may
bechanged after data hold time), and (4) return CE to
a logic high. (Commonly used call progress tones are
shown in the Data/Tone Selection table below.) In a
bus-oriented system, noise on the data lines may
propagate through the device and appear at the out-
put. To safeguard against this, use an external latch to
lock the data into the device. In addition, it is good
practice to bypass the V
pin to ground with a small
capacitor (0.01 mF) to reduce power supply noise. The
designer should be aware of device timing require-
ments and design accordingly. The data input pins
may be tied high (+5 VDC) or low (ground) as required,
but D4 and D5 must be left open. Beware of hardwiring
the CE pin for dedicated tone generation. This input is
edge triggered. An RC network like that shown in the
Power-on Reset Circuit on Page 4 should be used to
momentarily reset the device immediately following
power-up to ensure proper operation.
