DTMF Decoder Circuit For PC
The DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) decoder circuit is designed to interpret the signals generated by DTMF keypads, commonly used in telephone systems. The circuit typically consists of a microcontroller or dedicated DTMF decoder IC, such as the MT8870, which processes the audio signals corresponding to the DTMF tones. The output from the DTMF decoder can be connected to a computer through either a parallel port or a sound card interface.
To power the circuit, a 9V battery can be connected to the power input of the DTMF decoder. Alternatively, the circuit can be powered through the parallel printer port, which provides the necessary voltage and ground connections. The decoder's output is interfaced with the computer's input system, allowing it to display the detected DTMF digits in real-time on the screen.
The software component, compatible with Windows, is designed to run in the background. It continuously monitors the input from the DTMF decoder, displaying the detected digits as they are received. Users can minimize the application to free up screen space while still maintaining functionality for other tasks on the computer.
Future enhancements include the development of a DTMF decoder that interfaces directly with the sound card's game port. This will enable a broader range of applications and improve flexibility in connecting the DTMF decoder to various systems. The integration with sound card technology may also provide improved audio fidelity and detection accuracy. Overall, the DTMF decoder system is a versatile tool for interpreting DTMF signals in various electronic applications.Our DTMF decoder can be powered from a 9V battery or from your parallel printer port. It can detect and display all 16 DTMF digits on your computer screen in real-time. The Window`s program can be placed in the minimize mode and still detect tones while you use your computer to do other things like We are now in the process of adding an DTMF decod er which will interface to the sound card game port. 🔗 External reference
