Phone dialer built around a microcontroller

[Z80]

phone dialer litelink

I need to make a DTMF/pulse dialer, and I can't find dedicated chips here, so I'm using a microcontroller. What I want to know is what are the electronics for interfacing a microcontroller to the phone line. Can someone help me?

I would also like to know where can I find a reliable description about how the line states are signaled on PSTN's, and all the necessary details for making a basic simplex modem around a uC.

I repeat, dedicated solutions are not an option because of the poor avalability of such chips.

Thank you.

PS: sorry for the double post, I didn't know what is the most appropriate section

Hi

For Europe, the phone line characteritics are described in the ETSI recommandation EN 300001.

If I do remenber well, you can download it for free on the ETSI site at :

To build an interface, you can used dedicated module like those from CLARE :

or you can build your own interface with discret components. Here is a link to some schematics:
