MAX5486 Digital Volume Control

MAX5486 Digital Volume Control
A two channel digital volume control circuit using IC MAX5486 is shown here. MAX5486 can be quite a 40K dual digital volume / balance controller that has a pushbutton interface. The IC has a built in bias voltage source that eliminated the need of an external circuit towards the same purpose and thereby by reduces external parts count.

The IC also comes through an LED status indicator driver circuit that seem to be either employed for driving the status indicator LEDs And this indicates the volume level and balance level. The IC might be operated in one a single or dual power supply and is out there in 24 pin TSSOP package. The volume control circuit Depending on MAX5486 might be applied in a lot applications like personal audio systems, hand held audio devices, home theatre systems, car audio systems, computer audio systems etc.
