Description
The CS3308 is an 8-channel digitally controlled analog
volume control designed specifically for high-end audio
systems. It features a comprehensive I²C/SPI serial
control port for easy device and volume configuration.
The CS3308 includes arrays of well-matched resistors
and complementary low-noise active output stages. A
total adjustable range of 118 dB, in ¼ dB steps, is
spread evenly over 96 dB of attenuation and 22 dB of
gain.
The CS3308 implements configurable zero-crossing
detection to provide glitch-free volume-level changes.
The I²C/SPI control interface provides for easy system
integration of up to 128 CS3308 devices over a single 2-
wire I²C or 3-wire SPI bus, allowing many channels of
volume control with minimal system controller I/O re-
quirements. Devices may be controlled on an individual
and grouped basis, simplifying simultaneous configura-
tion of a group of channels across multiple devices,
while allowing discrete control over all channels on an
individual basis.
The device operates from ±5 V analog supplies and has
an input/output voltage range of ±3.65 V. The digital
control interface operates at +3.3 V.
The CS3308 is available in a 48-pin LQFP package in
Commercial grade (-10° to 70° C). The CS3308 Cus-
tomer Demonstration board is also available for device
evaluation. Refer to
for complete details.
