Dial-Tone Detector
Background Noise
Monitors
The dial-tone detector is a comparator with one side connected to the speaker amplifier
input and the other to VM with a 35-mV offset (see Figure 12 on page 21). If the circuit is
in idle mode, and the incoming signal is greater than 35 mV (25 mVrms), the compara-
tor's output will change thus disabling the receive idle mode. This circuit prevents the
dial tone (which would be considered as continuous noise) from fading away as the cir-
cuit would have the tendency to switch to idle mode. By disabling the receive idle mode,
the dial tone remains at the normally expected full level.
This circuit distinguishes speech (which consists of bursts) from background noise (a
relatively constant signal level). There are two background-noise monitors, one for the
receive path and the other for the transmit path. The receive background-noise monitor
is operated on by the receive level detector, while the transmit background noise moni-
tor is operated on by the transmit level detector (see Figure 13 on page 21). They
monitor the background noise by storing a DC voltage representative of the respective
noise levels in capacitors at CBNMR and CBNMT. The voltages at these pins have slow
rise times (determined by the internal current source and an external C), but fast decay
times. If the signal at TLDR (or TLDT) changes slowly, the voltage at BNMR (or BNMT)
will remain more positive than the voltage at the non-inverting input of the monitor's out-
put comparator. When speech is present, the voltage at the non-inverting input of the
comparator will rise more quickly than the voltage at the inverting input (due to the burst
characteristic of speech), causing its output to change. This output is sensed by the
mode-control block.
