ABSTRACT:
A digital tone detector is of the period detection type employing a digital counter which is stepped by means of a high speed clock. The counter is reset by zero-crossings of an analog tone signal. A set of period range decoder gates indicate the presence of any of a set of predetermined frequency tones. A .div. 4 counter is introduced between the terminal which receives the zero-crossing signal and the reset input of the counter. Sequence control circuits are provided to coordinate the timed relationship of readout and initiation of a new detection period such that the speed of response is minimally degraded by the .div. 4 counter.
