Electronic Volume Controller IC
PT2257
DESCRIPTION
The PT2257 is an electronic volume controller IC utilizing CMOS technology specially designed for the
new generation of AV entertainment products. It has two (2) built-in channels making it ideally suitable
for mono and stereo sound applications. The PT2257 provides an I
2
C control interface, an attenuation
range of 0 to -79dB, low noise, and high channel separation. It is housed in an 8 pins, DIP or SOP
package. The PT2257’s pin assignments and application circuit are optimized for easy PCB layout and
cost saving advantages.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
BUS INTERFACE
Data are transmitted to and from the microprocessor to the PT2257 via the SDA and SCL. The SDA
and SCL make up the BUS Interface. It should be noted that the pull-up resistors must be connected to
the positive supply voltage.
DATA VALIDITY
A data on the SDA Line is considered valid and stable only when the SCL Signal is in HIGH State. The
HIGH and LOW States of the SDA Line can only change when the SCL signal is LOW. Please refer to
the figure below.

START AND STOP CONDITIONS
A Start Condition is activated when
1. The SCL is set to HIGH and
2. SDA shifts from HIGH to LOW State.
The Stop Condition is activated when
1. SCL is set to HIGH and
2. SDA shifts from LOW to HIGH State.
Please refer to the timing diagram below.

BYTE FORMAT
Every byte transmitted to the SDA Line consists of 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an
Acknowledge Bit. The MSB is transmitted first.
ACKNOWLEDGE
During the Acknowledge Clock Pulse, the master (µP) puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA Line.
The peripheral (audio processor) that acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the
Acknowledge Clock Pulse so that the SDA Line is in a Stable Low State during this Clock Pulse. Please
refer to the diagram below.

A cknowledgment
from R eceiver
The audio processor that has been addressed has to generate an Acknowledge after receiving each
byte; otherwise, the SDA Line will remain at the High Level during the ninth (9th) Clock Pulse. In this
case, the master transmitter can generate the STOP Information in order to abort the transfer.
TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGE
If you want to avoid the acknowledge detection of the audio processor, a simpler µP transmission may
be used. Wait one clock and does not check the slave acknowledge of this same clock then send the
new data. If you use this approach, there are greater chances of faulty operation as well as decrease in
noise immunity.
