We Are Going To Discuss

• What is DTMF?

• How to control a robot using DTMF?

• DTMF Keypad table

• HT9170B IC

• Application Circuit

• Sample Code
 DTMF
(Dual-Tone-Multiple-Frequency)

• DTMF signaling is used for telecom signaling over

analog telephone lines in the voice frequency band
between telephone handsets and other communication
devices and the switching centre.

• In other words DTMF is a method of instructing

switching system of the telephone numbers to be
dialed, or to issue commands to switching systems.
DTMF Keypad Table
 Table Description

• DTMF table is laid out in 4*4 matrix.

• Row represents low frequency .
• Column represents high frequency.
• The multiple tones are the reason for calling
the system multi frequency.
• Tones are then decoded by switching centers
to determine which keys are pressed.
 DTMF Decoder/Receiver IC
(HT9170B)
• Operating voltage :
2.5V – 5.5V
• Minimal external components

• No external filter required

• Excellent performance

• 3.58 crystal or ceramic resonator

• 18 pin package
Application Circuit
 Working Of The IC
• Tone is attached to 0.1 micro F capacitor on the top corner.

• Mount the circuit on the robot with auto answer mode on.

• Connect one wire of the headphone to the wire and other to the
ground.

• The tone is then passed to amplifier for filtering.

• OE is the output enable pin, high on this pin will enable the
output .

• D0,D1,D2 and D3 are the decoded output of the IC.

 Working Of The IC
• DV is data valid pin, it’s a output pin, Set to high
itself by IC when valid data is available on these bits.

• RT/GT and EST are pins for setting effective time

duration of tone to check for authenticity.
 Connecting Cell Phone To Circuit

• Connect the cell phone to circuit.

• Call the cell phone from a remote phone

• Now press the keys on the remote phone and you

will see the LED’s blinking.
 Interfacing HT9170B With
ATMega8
• Connect d0,d1,d2,d3 to Port C0,C1,C2,C3.

• Now we can check respective bits with programming

and respond based on the bit pattern received.

• Now based on the input pattern we can instruct the

motor with specific commands and make the robot
move in different directions.
