• This module works as a tone decoder�that uses its 3.5 mm audio connector socket to get the input audio signal. It is popularly used for mobile and fixed telephone voice dialing and recording related functions.
• DTMF is commonly found in tone based dial pad devices such as mobile phones or telephones dial pad. When the dial pad is pressed, it produces a combination of two separate sine waves which is a unique frequency signal that can be decoded and produced as a binary output.
