DESCRIPTION
The DS1800 is a dual audio–taper potentiometer
designed specifically for use in the feedback path of the
inverting configuration of an operational amplifier (see
Figure 2). In this configuration, the DS1800 provides a

) giving a gain/attenu-
ation range covering +20 dB to –63 dB. Each poten-
tiometer has a total of 129 positions including mute. The
DS1800 provides five areas of resolution which include
0.25 dB per step from +20 dB to +3 dB, 0.5 dB per step
from +3 dB to –12 dB, 1 dB from –12 dB to –27 dB, and
from –27 dB to –47 dB; 2 dB per step, and from –47 dB to
–63 dB; 4 dB per step. The mute position provides 100
dB of attenuation.
The DS1800 has two control interfaces (see Figure 1).
The first is a 3–wire serial CPU interface consisting of
RST, CLK, and D. The second interface is a contact–
closure interface, allowing easy push–button control
without the need for external debounce or timing cir-
cuitry. The device also provides for software muting (via
