Electronic Volume Controller IC
PT2256
DESCRIPTION
PT2256 is an electronic volume controller IC utilizing CMOS Technology specially designed for use on
audio equipment. It has 2 built-in channels making it ideally suitable for mono and stereo sound
applications. PT2256 provides the Loudness Function, a wide frequency response range and a very
low total harmonic distortion, thereby guaranteeing a highly effective and reliable performance. It is
housed in 16-pin DIP or SOP package and is functionally compatible with TC9235P. Pin assignments
and application circuit are optimized for low cost advantages and easy PCB Layout.

Note:
Modifying the values of Rx and Cx affects the Oscillator Frequency of the IC. If the Fosc value is big,
then the volume control change is fast. Likewise, if the Fosc value is small, the volume control change
is slow. It is suggested that Rx=33K, Cx=2.2µF.
