attenuator fabricated on a CMOS process. Each channel
with a mute function attenuating 104dB. Its logarithmic at-

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 LM1973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
LM1973 allows multiple 碌Pots to be daisy-chained together,
reducing the number of enable and data lines to be routed
for a given application.
