Tone tone decoder or a decoder is a circuit that serves to detect the
presence of a signal with a certain tone. If the signal is the same tone
with the tone of a series of internal oscillator the output of the circuit
will be active. One of the tone decoder integrated circuit is LM 567.
The LM567 and LM567C are general purpose tone
decoders designed to provide a saturated transistor switch to ground when an
input signal is present within the pass band. The circuit consists of an I
and Q detector driven by a voltage controlled oscillator which determines
the center frequency of the decoder. External components are used to
independently set center frequency, bandwidth and output delay.

Tone Decoder LM 567
The tone decoder circuit has a main component IC LM
567, as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure1. Tone decoder circuit.
Oscillator internal frequency of the circuit is:
f = 1/(1,1xR1xC1)
If the input signal has a minimum voltage of about 25 mV
and the frequency around the frequency of internal oscillator, the output
will be low level logic.
Tone decoder circuit can be implemented as a remote
control (remote control) circuit, with the following block diagram.
