2-Channel 78dB Audio Attenuator with Mute
General Description
The LM1972 is a digitally controlled 2-channel 78dB audio
attenuator fabricated on a CMOS process. Each channel
has attenuation steps of 0.5dB from 0dB鈥?7.5dB, 1.0dB
steps from 48dB鈥?8dB, with a mute function attenuating
104dB. Its logarithmic attenuation curve can be customized
through software to fit the desired application.
The performance of a 碌Pot is demonstrated through its ex-
cellent Signal-to-Noise Ratio, extremely low (THD+N), and
high channel separation. Each 碌Pot contains a mute function
that disconnects the input signal from the output, providing a
minimum attenuation of 96dB. Transitions between any at-
tenuation settings are pop free.
The LM1972鈥檚 3-wire serial digital interface is TTL and
CMOS compatible; receiving data that selects a channel and
the desired attenuation level. The Data-Out pin of the
LM1972 allows multiple 碌Pots to be daisy-chained together,
reducing the number of enable and data lines to be routed
for a given application.
