LM1973 µPot 3-Channel 76dB Audio Attenuator with Mute
December 1994
LM1973 µPot™3-Channel 76dB Audio Attenuator with Mute
General Description
The LM1973 is a digitally controlled 3-channel 76dB audio attenuator fabricated on a CMOS process. Each channel has attenuation steps of 0.5dB from 0dB–15.5dB, 1.0dB steps from 16dB–47dB, and 2.0dB steps from 48dB– 76dB, with a mute function attenuating 104dB. Its logarithmic attenuation curve can be customized through software to fit the desired application. The performance of a µPot™ is demonstrated through its excellent 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.
