CS3310
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Data Interface
The CS3310 is a stereo, digital volume control de- The CS3310 has a simple, three wire interface that

right analog input channels are set by a 16-bit serial

and the remaining 8 bits address the left channel, as
detailed in Table 1. Resistor values are decoded to
0.5 dB resolution by an internal multiplexer for a
total attenuation range of -95.5 dB. An output am-
plifier stage provides a programmable gain of up to
31.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps. This results in an overall 8-
bit adjustable range of 127 dB.

daisy-chaining of multiple CS3310’s.
The 16-bit serial data is formatted MSB first and
clocked into SDATAI by the rising edge of SCLK
with CS low as shown in Figure 3. The data is
latched by the rising edge of CS and the analog out-
put levels of both left and right channels are set.
The CS3310 operates from ±5 V supplies and ac- The existing data in the volume control data regis-

SCLK and SDATAI should be active only during
volume setting operations to achieve optimum dy-
namic range.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Daisy Chaining
Very few external components are required to sup-
port the CS3310. Normal power supply decoupling Digitally controlled, multi-channel audio systems
components are all that is required, as shown in often result in complex address decoding which

complicates PCB layout. This is greatly simplified
with the daisy-chaining capability of the CS3310.
