| Step | Intended Action | Simulator Reality | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Place MT8870 from library | Error: Unknown part name 'MT8870' | | 2 | Download "MT8870 Proteus Lib 35.zip" | Contains a .HEX file (for a microcontroller) instead of a .MODEL file. | | 3 | Find a working model | Requires an SPICE subcircuit. The MT8870 has an internal switched-capacitor filter —brutally slow to simulate in real-time. | | 4 | Run simulation | Proteus crashes or the tone detection lags 10 seconds behind the virtual button press. |

The MT8870 is a highly integrated DTMF decoder chip developed by Mitel (now part of Microsemi). It is designed to detect and decode the 16 standard DTMF tones, which are commonly used in telephone systems. The chip uses a patented algorithm to detect the tones and provides a digital output that corresponds to the detected tone.
