1. Line Reversal Detection

Line reversal, or polarity reversal on the A and B wires indicates the arrival of an incoming CDS call, as specified in

TRIGout, which is normally high, is pulled low. When the event is over, TRIGin falls back to below the low going

minimum TRIGout low interval.

In a TE designed for CLIP, the TRIGout high to low transition may be used to interrupt or wake-up the

microcontroller. The controller can thus be put into power-down mode to conserve power in a battery operated TE.

2. Ring Burst Detection

CCA does not support the dual tone alert signal (refer to Dual Tone Alert Signal Detection section). Instead, CCA

requires that the TE be able to detect a single burst of ringing (duration 200-450 ms) that precedes CLIP FSK data.

The ring burst may vary from 30 to 75 Vrms and is approximately 25 Hz.

Again in a TE designed for CCA CLIP, the TRIGout high to low transition may be used to interrupt or wake-up the

microcontroller. The controller can thus be put into power-down mode to conserve power in a battery operated TE.

3. Ring Detection

In Bellcore’s CND/CNAM scheme, the CID FSK data is transmitted between the first and second ringing cycles.

The circuit in Figure 3 will generate a ring envelope signal (active low) at TRIGout for a ring voltage of at least

40 Vrms. R5 and C3 filter the ring signal to provide an envelope output.

The diode bridge shown in Figure 3 works for both single ended and balanced ringing. A fraction of the ring voltage

TRIGRC is pulled low as C3 discharges. TRIGout stays low as long as the C3 voltage stays below the minimum

In a CPE designed for CND/CNAM, the TRIGout high to low transition may be used to interrupt or wake-up the

microcontroller. The controller can thus be put into power-down mode to conserve power.

If precise ring duration determination is critical, capacitor C3 in Figure 3 may be removed. The microcontroller will

now be able to time the ring duration directly. The result will be that TRIGout will be low only as long as the ringing

signal is present. Previously the RC time constant would cause only one interrupt.

Dual Tone Alert Signal Detection

The BT on hook (idle state) caller ID scheme uses a dual tone alert signal whose characteristics are shown in Table

1.

Bellcore specifies a similar dual tone alert signal called CPE Alerting Signal (CAS) for use in off-hook data

transmission (see Table 1). Bellcore states that the CPE should be able to detect the CAS in the presence of near

end speech. The CAS detector should also be immune to imitation from near and far end speech.

In the MT88E43 the dual tone alert signal is separated into a high and a low tone by two bandpass filters. A

detection algorithm examines the two filter outputs to determine the presence of a dual tone alert signal. The ESt

pin goes high when both tones are present. Note that ESt is only a preliminary indication. The indication must be

sustained over the tone present guard time to be considered valid. Tone present and tone absent guard times can

be implemented with external RC components. The tone present guard time rejects signals of insufficient duration.

The tone absent guard time masks momentary detection dropout once the present guard time has been satisfied.

StD is the guard time qualified detector output.
