LMC1983
Digitally-Controlled Stereo Tone and Volume Circuit with
Three Selectable Stereo Inputs
General Description
The LMC1983 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides
volume, balance, tone (bass and treble), loudness controls
and selection between three pairs of stereo inputs. These
functions are digitally controlled through a three-wire com-
munication interface. There are two digital inputs for easy in-
terface to other audio peripherals such as stereo decoders.
The LMC1983 is designed for line level input signals
(300 mV鈥?V) and has a maximum gain of 鈭?.5 dB. Volume
is set at minimum and tone controls are flat when supply volt-
age is first applied.
Low noise and distortion result from using analog switches
and poly-silicon resistor networks in the signal path.
Additional tone control can be achieved using the LMC835
stereo 7-band graphic equalizer connected to the
LMC1983鈥檚 SELECT OUT/SELECT IN external processor
loop.
