Operation
11.3.1
Output Waveform
The DTMF generator outputs a row-group or column-group sine wave (DTMF signal) or a
combined row-column waveform at the TONED pin. These signals are generated by a high-
precision resistor-ladder-type D/A converter circuit. The output frequency is selected by DTCR.
Figure 11.3 shows an equivalent circuit for the TONED output. Figure 11.4 shows the output
waveform of an independent row-group or column-group signal. One cycle of the output is
divided into 32 segments, giving a stable output with low distortion.
