- I will assume that you can solder, wire-wrap or whatever....
-
- 1) Decoders come in 2 flavors: "toll-quality" and "regular". The
- toll-quality decoders (ie more $$$) have the following traits:
-
- - better "talk-off". This is rejecting talking for DTMF tones
- - better dial-tone rejection
- - better "twist" reception. Twist is a stupid name for the amplitude
- difference between the dual-tones. Usually this is around 2-3 dB.
-
- THe leader of "toll-quality" chips is Teltone, with Mitel a close second.
-
- 2) The second-teir folks are good enough for home projects. The leader
- there is Silicon Systems, with other chips like Sierra Semi.
-
- If you want a schematic, then send me a SASE. I will provide circuits for
- all known DTMF chips!
