GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SSM2160 allows digital control of volume of six audio channels, with a master level control and individual channel controls. Low distortion VCAs (voltage controlled amplifiers) are used in the signal path. By using controlled rate-of-change drive to the VCAs, the “clicking” associated with switched resistive networks is eliminated in the master control. Each channel is controlled by a dedicated 5-bit DAC providing 32 levels of gain.
