Product details

LM1972MX/NOPB: Digitally Controlled 2-Channel Audio Attenuator with 78 dB Range (TI µPot)
The LM1972MX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a CMOS digitally controlled dual-channel audio attenuator featuring fine 0.5 dB / 1.0 dB step control, pop-and-click-free transitions, 3-wire serial interface, and 104 dB mute attenuation-ideal for precision volume control in high-fidelity audio systems.

Product Introduction

The LM1972MX/NOPB is a digitally controlled 2-channel audio attenuator developed by Texas Instruments. Built on a CMOS process, it provides a smooth logarithmic attenuation curve for high-quality audio volume control, with pop-and-click-free transitions between settings.

Each channel supports a typical attenuation range of 78 dB (excluding mute), offering 0.5 dB steps from 0 dB to −47.5 dB and 1.0 dB steps from −48 dB to −78 dB. The integrated mute function can deliver up to 104 dB attenuation, effectively disconnecting the input from the output when required.

The LM1972MX/NOPB is controlled via a 3-wire serial digital interface that is compatible with TTL and CMOS logic. Its daisy-chain capability allows multiple devices to be linked on the same control bus, helping reduce routing complexity in multi-channel audio systems. The MX device option is commonly supplied in compact 8-pin package variants suitable for dense PCB layouts.

Key Benefits

Precise, User-Friendly Volume Control

Fine step resolution (0.5 dB / 1.0 dB) enables granular level adjustment for premium audio paths, supporting consistent channel tracking and smooth listening experience.

Pop-and-Click-Free Transitions

Designed to minimize audible artifacts when changing attenuation settings, making it a strong fit for studio, consumer and computer-audio volume control.

Simple Digital Interface & Daisy-Chaining

The 3-wire serial interface is easy to drive from a microcontroller, while data-out support allows multiple µPots to be chained to reduce control line count.

Deep Mute for Clean System Control

The built-in mute function provides up to 104 dB attenuation, supporting reliable silent switching and input disconnection during mode changes or power sequencing.

Technical Features

3-Wire Serial Interface

TTL/CMOS compatible 3-wire serial control selects channel and attenuation level, simplifying integration into MCU-based audio controllers.

Daisy-Chain Capability

Data-out supports chaining multiple devices to control multi-channel audio systems while reducing enable and data routing complexity.

High-Fidelity Performance

Excellent SNR, low THD+N, and high channel separation help preserve audio quality in music reproduction, mixing and sound reinforcement designs.

Equivalent & Manufacturer Information

Equivalent / Alternative Models

Alternatives to the LM1972MX/NOPB may include other digitally controlled audio attenuators (µPots) with similar step size, attenuation range and interface requirements, such as:

  • Texas Instruments LM1971 series (single-channel digital attenuator variants)
  • Comparable digital volume control ICs with 3-wire serial interface and pop-free transitions

When selecting a replacement, verify channel count, control protocol timing, total attenuation range, and audio performance (THD+N, SNR, channel separation).
