3.2Opto-coupler
In the field of electronics, anoptocoupler ( besides named as an opto-isolator, photocoupler, optical isolator ) , is an electronic device that is designed so as to reassign electrical signifier of signals by the usage of light moving ridges.This provide matching b/w input and end product with electrical isolation. [ 1 ] The chief intent of an opto-coupler is `` On one side of the circuit, to preventhigh voltagesor rapidly altering electromotive forces from falsifying transmittals or damaging constituents on the other side. `` [ 2 ] Commercially available optocouplers withstand input-to-output electromotive forces up to 10kV [ 3 ] and electromotive force transients with velocities up to 10kV/?s. [ 4 ]Optocouplers are used to insulate 2 power beginnings from one another piece matching both optically through visible radiation. For illustration if you have a circuit which runs on 5v logic and another circuit that runs on 24v, you can match both of the circuits optically and non electrically. By making this both circuits can be protected from each other.
An optocoupler consist of a beginning of visible radiation ( emitter ) , anear infraredlight-emitting rectifying tube ( LED ) for the transition of an electrical input signal into a light signal, aphotosensor that detects the entrance visible radiation or generates electricenergydirectly, ormodulatesthe electric currentflowing through an externally provided power supply and a closed optical channel named as a dielectrical channel. The photosensor can be aphoto-resistor, a photo-diode, aphoto-transistor, and asilicon-controlled rectifierSCR.

3.3DTMF
3.3.1What is a DTMF?
DTMF is an abbreviation of Dual Tone Multi Frequency. It is better known astouch-tone.It is a system of signal tones that are used in telecommunications. DTMF is the signal that is generated when you press the telephone 's touch keys. DTMF has replaced pulse dialing to avoid voice and tones imitation. One tone belongs to a group of tones with high frequences and the other belongs to a group of low frequences. Applications of DTMF are aid desks, voice mail, telephone banking etc.Entire 12 DTMF signals exist today.
Each of the 12 DTMF signals is made up of two tones ( double tone ) , so that voice can non copy the tone, runing in the undermentioned frequence group:697 Hz, 770 Hz, 852 Hz, 941 Hz, 1209 Hz, 1336 Hz, 1477Hz.Tones are by and large divided into two groups i.e. low and high, and every DTMF signal uses one tone from each group.
This helps to forestall any harmonics to be considered as portion of a signal mistakenly.Following is the tabular array that shows the frequences set for each signal:
Symbol | Tone B ( Hz ) | ||||
| 1209 | 1336 | 1477 | 1633 | ||
ToneA( Hz ) | 697 | 1 | 2 | 3 | A |
| 770 | 4 | 5 | 6 | Bacillus | |
| 852 | 7 | 8 | 9 | C | |
| 941 | * | 0 | # | Calciferol | |
3.3.2Working of MT8870 DTMF
The DTMF decipherer that we have used in our undertaking is MT8870. It has 18-pins.It is an IC that is used in telephones and other applications. MT8870 DTMF receives an input signal from the receiving system when the button is pressed and outputs a digital signal to the micro-controller. DTMF decipherer is operational at all the times with no holds ideally. It operates at +5V DC.The decipherers have assorted end products harmonizing to the different tones pressed on the computer keyboard.
In this a debug LED is used that will wink when matching decryption is in advancement. That LED is used for mistake sensing or we can state that for proving intent or care intent. This LED is still ON when DTMF decipherer is kept or set on a on the job status.The MT8870 is an 18 pin IC which is used in telephone sets and other applications.
Most of the telephone equipment usage DTMF. A really common DTMF receiving system IC is Motorola MT8870 used widely in electronic communicating circuits. When a proper and exact end product is non received in undertakings that use MT8870 IC, applied scientists and technicians need to prove the IC individually. A speedy testing of the IC can salvage clip in labs and in fabricating industries of communicating instrumentality. We have a little examiner circuit to attest DTMF IC. It can be set for multipurpose.
One can besides prove this IC on a simple bread board in labs. For an optimal operation of a telephone set, DTMF receiving system must be designed so as to acknowledge a valid tone brace that in continuance is greater than 40 MSs and to accept the consecutive digital tone brace which are greater than 40 ms apart. To reject noise signals, a differential amplifier input is used.Following is the Status of LEDs upon pressing keyson a telephone computer keyboard:
| Key no. | LED 4 | LED 3 | LED 2 | LED 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| A | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Bacillus | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| C | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Calciferol | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
LED5 water chickweeds at the minute when any key on the computer keyboard is pressed.
2. 1 = On, 0 = Off.The LEDs that are connected to pins 11 to 14 through the resistances R11 to R14 shows the IC end product.
The tone brace DTMF that is generatedupon pressing the telephone key is converted into binary values with in the IC. Thebinary values are shown at end product pins of IC when the LEDs freshness. LED1 is the LSB ( lowest important spot ) and LED4 is MSB ( most important spot ) .So, upon dialing a figure, say, 6, LED2 and LED3 will glow, that is equal to 0110. Similarly, for every other figure dialed on telephone, the corresponding LEDs will be lightened up.
Hence, a non faulty IC must demo the exact double star values which corresponds to the denary figure that is pressed on the telephone computer keyboard.To prove the DTMF IC MT8870, proceed as follow:
- Connect local telephone set and the circuit to same telephone line in analogue.
- Switch over on S1. ( Switch over on subsidiary switch S2 merely if keys A, B, C, and D are to be used. )
- Now push cardinal ‘* ' inorder to bring forth DTMF tone.
- Press any denary key on telephone computer keyboard.
- Observe the tantamount double star.
Now the high logic at pin 5 enables the sensing of tones stand foring characters A, B, C, and D.
