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.
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.
Designed to minimize audible artifacts when changing attenuation settings, making it a strong fit for studio, consumer and computer-audio volume control.
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.
The built-in mute function provides up to 104 dB attenuation, supporting reliable silent switching and input disconnection during mode changes or power sequencing.
TTL/CMOS compatible 3-wire serial control selects channel and attenuation level, simplifying integration into MCU-based audio controllers.
Data-out supports chaining multiple devices to control multi-channel audio systems while reducing enable and data routing complexity.
Excellent SNR, low THD+N, and high channel separation help preserve audio quality in music reproduction, mixing and sound reinforcement designs.
