General Description
The CS3318 is an 8-channel digitally controlled analog volume control designed for audio systems. It incor-
porates a total adjustable range of 118 dB in ¼ dB steps, spread evenly over 96 dB of attenuation and
22 dB of gain.
The internal analog architecture includes one op-amp per channel, each with an input resistor network for
attenuation and a feedback resistor network for gain. Analog switch arrays are used to select taps in the
input and feedback resistor networks, thereby setting the gain or attenuation of each channel. These switch
arrays are controlled via the digital control port, bridging the gap between the analog and digital domains.

The CS3318 incorporates highly configurable zero-crossing detection for glitch-free volume level changes.
Volume changes may be configured to occur immediately or on a signal zero-crossing. In the event that the
signal does not cross zero, the CS3318 provides 8 selectable time-out periods in the range of 5 ms to 50 ms
after which the volume level will be changed immediately. When the CS3318 receives more than one vol-
ume change command before a zero-crossing or a time-out, the CS3318 is able to implement the previous
volume change command immediately or discard it and act only on the most recent command. The

tection functionality and controls.
The CS3318 includes a comprehensive I²C/SPI serial control port interface for volume changes and device
configuration. This interface provides for easy system integration of up to 128 CS3318 devices over a single
2-wire I²C or 3-wire SPI bus, allowing many channels of volume control with minimal system controller I/O
requirements. Devices may be addressed on an individual and grouped basis, simplifying simultaneous
configuration of a group of channels across multiple devices, while allowing discrete control over all chan-
nels on an individual basis. The

System Design
Very few external components are required to support the CS3318. Typical power supply decoupling com-
ponents are the only external requirements, as shown in
Analog Inputs
No external circuitry is required to interface between the audio source and the CS3318’s inputs. However,
as with any adjustable gain stage, the affects of a DC offset at the input must be considered. Capacitively
coupling the analog inputs may be required to prevent “clicks and pops” which occur with gain changes if
an appreciable offset is present.
The addition of an input coupling capacitor will form a high-pass filter with the CS3318’s input impedance.
Given nominal values of input impedance and coupling capacitor, a 10 µF coupling capacitor will result in
less than 0.03 dB of attenuation at 20 Hz. If additional low-frequency attenuation can be tolerated, a small-
er coupling capacitor may be used.
The CS3318 requires a low source impedance to achieve maximum performance, and a source-imped-
ance of 600 Ω or less is recommended.
The maximum input level is limited by the input signal swing capability of the internal op-amp. Signals ap-
proaching the analog supply voltages may be applied to the analog input pins if the internal attenuator
limits the output signal to within
