Description
The CS3318 is an 8-channel digitally controlled analog
volume control designed specifically for high-end audio
systems. It features a comprehensive I²C/SPI serial
control port for easy device and volume configuration.
The CS3318 includes arrays of well-matched resistors
and complementary low-noise active output stages. A
total adjustable range of 118 dB, in ¼ dB steps, is
spread evenly over 96 dB of attenuation and 22 dB of
gain.
The CS3318 implements configurable zero-crossing
detection to provide glitch-free volume-level changes.
The I²C/SPI control interface provides for easy system
integration of up to 128 CS3318 devices over a single 2wire I²C or 3-wire SPI bus, allowing many channels of
volume control with minimal system controller I/O requirements. Devices may be controlled on an ind ividual
and grouped basis, simplifying simultaneous configuration of a group of channels across multiple devices,
while allowing discrete control over all channels on an
individual basis.
The device operates from ±8 V to ±9 V analog supplies
and has an input/output voltage range of ±6.65 V to
±7.65 V. The digital control interface operates at +3.3 V.
The CS3318 is available in a 48-pin LQFP package in
Commercial grade (-10° to 70° C). The CS3318 Customer Demonstration board is also available for device
evaluation. Refer to “Ordering Information” on page 44
for complete details.

5. APPLICATIONS
5.1 General Description
The CS3318 is an 8-channel digitally controlled analog volume control designed for audio systems. It incorporates a total adjustable range of 118 dB in ¼ dB steps, spread evenly over 96 dB of attenuation and
22 dB of gain.
The internal analog architecture includes one op-amp per channel, each with an input resistor network for
attenuation and a feedback resistor network for gain. Analog switch arrays are used to select taps in the
input and feedback resistor networks, thereby setting the gain or attenuation of each chan nel. These switch
arrays are controlled via the digital control port, bridging the gap between the analog and digital domains.
Figure 4 on page 13 provides a detailed diagram of the CS3318’s internal architecture.
The CS3318 incorporates highly configurable zero-crossing dete ction fo r glitch- free vol ume leve l changes.
Volume changes may be configured to occur immediately or on a signal zero-crossing. In the event tha t the
signal does not cross zero, the CS3318 provides 8 selectable time-out periods in the range of 5 ms to 50 ms
after which the volume level will be changed immediately. When the CS3318 receives more than one volume change command before a zero-crossing or a time-out, the CS3318 is able to implement the previous
volume change command immediately or discard it and act only on the most recent command. The “Zero-
Crossing Detection” section on page 22 provides a detailed description of the CS3318’s zero-crossing de-
tection functionality and controls.
CS3318
The CS3318 includes a comprehensive I²C/SPI serial control port interfac e for volume change s and device
configuration. This interface provides for easy system integration of up to 128 CS3318 devices over a single
2-wire I²C or 3-wire SPI bus, allow ing many channe ls of v olume control with minimal system controller I/O
requirements. Devices may be addressed on an individual and grouped basis, simplifying simultaneous
configuration of a group of channels across multiple devices, while allowing discrete control over all channels on an individual basis. The “System Serial Control Configuration” section on page 23 provides a detailed description of the serial control port features and functionality.
5.2 System Design
Very few external components are required to su pport the CS3318. Typical powe r supply deco uplin g components are the only external requirements, as shown in Figure 3 on page 12.
5.2.1 Analog Inputs
No external circuitry is required to interface between the audio source and the CS3318’s inputs. However,
as with any adjustable gain stage, the affects of a DC offset at the input must be considered. Capacitively
coupling the analog inputs may be required to prevent “clicks and pops” which occur with gain chan ges if
an appreciable offset is present.
The addition of an input coupling capacitor will form a high-pass filter with the CS3318’s input impedance.
Given nominal values of input impedance and coupling capacitor, a 10 µF coupling capacitor will result in
less than 0.03 dB of attenuation at 20 Hz. If additional low-frequency attenuation can be tolerated, a smaller coupling capacitor may be used.
The CS3318 requires a low source impedance to achieve maximum performance, and a source-impedance of 600 Ω or less is recommended.
The maximum input level is limited by the input signal swing capability of the internal op-amp. Signals approaching the analog supply voltages may be applied to the analog input pins if the internal attenuator
limits the output signal to within 1.35 V of the analog supply rails.
