Using MAX5456 / MAX5457 to form a volume adjuster

Abstract: This application note describes a solution for volume equalization and adjustment through a simple button interface and three MAX5456 / MAX5457 stereo, log-tap digital potentiometers.



The MAX5456 / MAX5457 stereo and audio potentiometers are dual-channel, log-tap digital potentiometers with a simple button interface. They are used to control and equalize volume in audio products. Each potentiometer has 32 tap points, which can replace the mechanical potentiometer. The MAX5456 / MAX5457 utilize Maxim's proprietary SmartWiper â„¢ control structure, which eliminates the need for microcontroller control and improves the transient rate of the wiper. First, keep / DN \ / / BAL \ or / UP \ / / BAL1 \ at low level for 1s. Then, within the first 4s, the sliding end can change at a frequency of 4Hz, and thereafter it can change at a frequency of 16Hz. In the volume control mode, the sliding ends of the MAX5456 / MAX5457 change simultaneously to adjust the volume of the two channels and maintain the balance between the channels. In the equalization control mode, the MAX5456 / MAX5457 are used to adjust the balance between channel 0 and channel 1, and keep the volume unchanged. Other features include: single or dual power supply, no noise switching, -90dB (typical) mute mode, reset to -12dB wiper position on power-up, (THD + N) = 0.01%, and 16-pin QSOP / TQFN Miniature package.

When using a digital potentiometer to process an AC signal, the following factors need to be considered: First, the AC signal must be biased to the DC power supply voltage range; secondly, each level of the digital potentiometer usually only provides an equivalent resistance increase. End-to-end resistance can vary greatly between different devices. For example, some types of digital potentiometers can vary by ± 30%.

With the additional MAX5456 / MAX5467, volume control in a multi-speaker configuration can be achieved. The trigger / MODE input switches the working mode of the MAX5457 between volume control and equalization control. You can use the LED output to indicate two different modes. In the application circuit of Figure 1, U1 is used to control the balance and volume of the stereo input signal, and provides left and right channel output for the volume attenuator composed of U2 and U3. In the volume control mode, use the / DN \ / / BAL0 \ or / UP \ / / BAL1 \ keys of U1 to change the volume of the main controller. If you need to adjust the balance, trigger the / MODE \ pin to switch U1 to the balance mode and adjust it by / DN \ / / BAL0 \ or / UP \ / / BAL1 \.

U2 and U3 constitute the volume attenuation control of the left and right channels respectively. To adjust the balance of U2, the left channel signal from U1 is adjusted at L0 and L1; similarly, to adjust the balance of U3, the right channel signal from U1 is adjusted at R0 and R1. Refer to the MAX5456 / MAX5457 data sheet for volume and balance adjustment. Generally, U2 and U3 are not used to adjust the volume, but sometimes it can also be used to compensate for the mismatch of audio channels.

The pre-operational amplifier of U1 in the application circuit is used to linearly amplify or provide a high-impedance input for a stereo audio signal source to drive the MAX5456 / MAX5457. The minimum terminal resistance of the MAX5456 / MAX5457 IC is 7kΩ, and the equivalent impedance of the U1 left and right channel input terminals is 7kΩ (worst case), or 10kΩ (nominal value). The two amplifiers at the output of U1 act as buffers to limit the deterioration of the THD specification by the load. The four amplifiers at the output of U2 and U3 can reduce the potentiometer current and amplify the output signal to drive the speaker.
