2.Application Note
1) Voltage gain
The voltage gain of the AN5273 can be varied by changing the resistor R2 as shown below :

2) DC volume control
The DC volume control range is 0 V to 5 V. This range is used in order to be easily controlled by micro-computer
using PWM output. The recommended circuit and volume attenuation characteristic are shown below :

3) Mute control
Mute is ON when 5 V is applied to Pin1. Then Q1 would turn ON and able to drive other part of the circuits. The
external RC components provide a time constant for switching ON and OFF.
