Brief Description
The FX029 single-chip Dual Digitally Controlled
Amplifier Array can replace manual audio-level
controls in most electronic applications including radio
and line communications systems.
The FX029 comprises two digitally controlled gain
and attenuation stages, with each stage having 48
distinct gain steps (range; between -48dB and +48dB
in 2dB steps) plus a MUTE state.
Both gain stages have selectable inputs. This switching
allows for selection of three different input signals
to stage 1 and two to stage 2.

Stage 1 also provides output switching.
In addition to the two digitally controlled gain stages,
there is a general purpose, uncommitted inverting
amplifier; the gain of this particular amplifier is
component controlled externally using negative
feedback.
Control of each gain stage section is accomplished
through the serial interface. All switching is
accomplished using controlled rise and fall times,
thereby ensuring no annoying transients (clicks or
pops).
The FX029 requires a single 5 volt supply and is
available in compact cerdip and small outline packages.
