LM1972
μPot ™ 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–47.5dB, 1.0dB steps
from 48dB–78dB, with a mute function attenuating 104dB. Its
logarithmic attenuation curve can be customized through soft-
ware to fit the desired application.
The performance of a μPot is demonstrated through its ex-
cellent Signal-to-Noise Ratio, extremely low (THD+N), and
high channel separation. Each μPot 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's 3-wire serial digital interface is TTL and CMOS
compatible; receiving data that selects a channel and the de-
sired attenuation level. The Data-Out pin of the LM1972 al-
lows multiple μPots to be daisy-chained together, reducing
the number of enable and data lines to be routed for a given
application.
