Single supply 5V CMOS (low power)
Inexpensive 3.58 MHz time base
Temperature range from -25ºC to 70ºC
The M-991 is a call progress tone generator integrated
circuit for use in telephone systems. The circuit uses
low-power CMOS techniques to generate tones which
are digitally controlled and highly linear. The M-991 is
designed to permit operation with almost any system.
The use of integrated circuit techniques allows the
M-991 to incorporate the control, tone generating, and
power output buffer into a single 14-pin DIP or 16-pin
SOIC. A 3.58-MHz (color burst) crystal-controlled time
base guarantees accuracy and repeatability.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings. Stresses in
excess of these ratings can cause permanent damage to
the device. Functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of this data sheet is not implied.
Exposure of the device to the absolute maximum ratings
for an extended period may degrade the device and affect
its reliability.

Call progress tones are audible tones sent from
switching systems to calling parties (or equipment) to
indicate the status of calls. Calling parties can identify
the success of a placed call by what is heard after
dialing. The M-991 series utilizes a highly linear tone
generator that produces the unique frequencies (singly
or in pairs) that are common to call progress signals.
Duration and frequency selection are digitally
controlled (see the Data/Tone Selection table below for
data settings for a particular tone output). A typical
control sequence for the M-991 is: (1) set data lines to
desired frequency selection, (2) wait for data lines to
settle, (3) drive the chip enable (CE) low, (4) maintain
CE low for desired tone duration (Note: data lines may
be changed after data hold time), and (4) return CE to
a logic high. (Commonly used call progress tones are
Call Progress Tone Generation
shown in the Data/Tone Selection table below.) In a
bus-oriented system, noise on the data lines may
propagate through the device and appear at the
output. To safeguard against this, use an external latch
to lock the data into the device. In addition, it is good
practice to bypass the VREF pin to ground with a
small capacitor (0.01F) to reduce power supply
noise. The designer should be aware of device timing
requirements and design accordingly. The data input
pins may be tied high (+5 VDC) or low (ground) as
required, but D4 and D5 must be left open. Beware of
hardwiring the CE pin for dedicated tone generation.
This input is edge triggered. An RC network like that
shown in the Power-on Reset Circuit on Page 4 should
be used to momentarily reset the device immediately
following power-up to ensure proper operation.
