GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The SSM2160 and SSM2161 allow digital control of volume of  
six and four audio channels, respectively, with a master level  
control and individual channel controls. Low distortion VCAs  
(Voltage Controlled Amplifiers) are used in the signal path. By  
using controlled rate-of-change drive to the VCAs, the “click-  
ing” associated with switched resistive networks is eliminated in  
the Master control. Each channel is controlled by a dedicated  
5-bit DAC providing 32 levels of gain. A master 7-bit DAC  
feeds every control port giving 128 levels of attenuation. Step  
sizes are nominally 1 dB and can be changed by external  
resistors. Channel balance is maintained over the entire master  
control range. Upon power-up, all outputs are automatically  
muted. A three- or four-wire serial data bus enables interfacing  
with most popular microcontrollers. Windows* software and an  
evaluation board for controlling the SSM2160 are available.

The SSM2160 can be operated from single supplies of +10 V to  
+20 V or dual supplies from ±5 V to ±10 V. The SSM2161 can  
be operated from single supplies of +8.5 V to +20 V (for  
automotive applications) or dual supplies from ±4.25 V to  
±10 V. An on-chip reference provides the correct analog  
common voltage for single supply applications. Both models  
come in P-DIP and SO packages. See the Ordering Guide for  
more details.

NOTES  
1. An idle HI (CLK-HI) or idle LO (CLK-LO) clock may be used. Data is latched on the negative edge.  
2. For SPI or microwire three-wire bus operation, tie LD to WRITE, and use WRITE pulse to drive both pins. (This generates an automatic internal load signal.)  
3. If an idle HI clock is used, tCW and tWL are measured from the final negative transition to the idle state.  
4. The first data byte selects an address (MSB HI), and subsequent MSB LO states set gain/attenuation levels. Refer to the Address/Data Decoding Truth Table.  
5. Data must be sent MSB first.

AGND  
AGND is the internal ground reference for the audio circuitry. When operating the SSM2160  
from dual supplies, AGND should be connected to ground. When operating from a single  
supply, AGND should be connected to VREF, the internally generated voltage reference. AGND  
may also be connected to an external reference. Refer to the Power Supply Connections section  
for more details.  
VREF  
VREF is the internally generated ground reference for the audio circuitry obtained from a buffered  
divider between V+ and V–. In a dual-supply application with the AGND pin connected to  
ground, VREF should be left floating. In a single supply application, VREF should be connected to  
AGND. Refer to the Power Supply Connections section for more details.

MSTR SET  
MSTR SET is connected to the inverting input of an I-V converting op amp used to generate a  
Master Control voltage from the Master Control DAC current output. A resistor connected  
from MSTR OUT to MSTR SET reduces the step size of the Master control. See the Adjusting  
Step Sizes section for more details. A 10 µF capacitor should be connected from MSTR OUT to  
MSTR SET to eliminate the zipper noise in the Master control.

MSTR OUT  
CH SET  
MSTR OUT is connected to the output of the I-V converting op amp. See MSTR SET

The step size of the Channel Control can be increased by connecting a resistor from CH SET to  
V+. No connection to CH SET is required if the default value of 1 dB per step is desired. Mini-  
mum of 10 external resistor. See the Adjusting Step Sizes section for more details.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Dual Power Supplies  
General  
As shown in Figure 14, the AGND pin should be connected to  
ground and VREF should be left floating. The digital ground pin,  
DGND, should always be connected to ground for either single-  
or dual-supply configurations. Pins 1 and 12 should each have  
a 10 µF capacitor connected to ground, with a 0.1 µF capacitor  
placed as close as possible to the SSM2160 device to help  
reduce the effects of high frequency power supply noise. When  
a switching power supply is used, or if the power supply lines  
are noisy, additional filtering of the power supply lines may be  
required.  
The SSM2160 and SSM2161 are six and four channel volume  
controls intended for multichannel audio applications. While  
dual channel controls sufficed for “stereo” applications, the  
rapidly emerging home theater “surround sound” and auto  
sound venues demand both six and four channel high perfor-  
mance controls. The following information applies equally to  
the SSM2160 and SSM2161, except where noted. Line level  
signals are fed to the six high impedance inputs. The system  
microcontroller sets the gain of the six channels via a three or  
four wire data bus. In a home theater receiver, the outputs may  
be fed to the power amplifiers or buffered and connected to pre-  
out/amp-in ports on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 17 for a  
typical signal chain using the SSM2160. The Master control  
serves the “Volume” control function, and the channel control  
serves the “Balance” function. The six channel capability allows  
complete control of the front left, front right, center, rear left,  
rear right, and sub-bass audio channels.

Power Supplies vs. Signal Levels  
The SSM2160 can be operated from dual supplies from ±5 V to  
±10 V and from single supplies from +10 V to +20 V. The  
SSM2161 can be operated from dual supplies from ±4.25 V to  
±10 V for automotive applications and from single supplies from  
+8.5 V to +20 V. In order to keep power dissipation to a  
minimum, use the minimum power supply voltages that will  
support the maximum input and output signal levels. The peak-  
to-peak output signal level must not exceed 1/4 of the total  
power supply span, from V+ to V–. This restriction applies for all  
conditions of input signal levels and gain/attenuation settings.  
Table I shows supply voltages for several typical output signal  
levels for both devices. An on-chip buffered voltage divider  
provides the correct analog common voltage for single supply  
applications.

When a single supply is used, it is necessary to connect AGND  
(Pin 2) to VREF (Pin 3) as shown in Figure 15. VREF supplies a  
voltage midway between the V+ and V– pins from a buffered  
resistive divider. When supplying this reference to stages ahead  
of the SSM2160 (to eliminate the need for input dc blocking  
capacitors, for example), the use of an additional external  
buffer, as shown in Figure 16 may be necessary to eliminate any  
noise pickup.

The SSM2160 may be modelled as six ganged potentiometers  
followed by individual programmable gain channel amplifiers, as  
shown in Figure 18. In actuality, each channel’s signal level is  
set by a VCA that can give gain or attenuation, depending upon  
the control voltage supplied. The input potentiometers have a  
maximum gain 0 dB (unity), a minimum gain of –127 dB, and  
change in 1 dB steps. The channel amplifiers each have mini-  
mum gain of 0 dB and a maximum gain of +31 dB and also  
change in 1 dB steps. The data settings for the attenuation of  
the master “potentiometer” and the channel “amplifier” are  
shown in Table II.

Signal Chain Considerations  
The SSM2160 is capable of providing an extremely wide control  
range, from –127 dB of attenuation (limited only by the noise  
floor) to +31 dB of gain. When configuring the system, the  
SSM2160 should be in the signal chain where input signals allow  
the minimum VCA gain to be used, thus ensuring the lowest  
distortion operation. In consumer products, sources that  
supply line level signals include FM/AM Tuner, Phono Preamp,  
Cassette Deck, CD, Laserdisc, VCR, LINE, AUX and Micro-  
phone Preamp. Figure 17 shows a typical application where the  
SSM2160 has been placed between a surround-sound decoder  
and the power amplification stages. This allows the user to  
adjust both volume and balance between six speakers through the  
use of the Master and Channel controls.

Serial Data Input Format  
If unity overall gain is required from the SSM2160, there should  
be no net gain between the master (loss) and channel (gain),  
with both at their lowest attenuation position. Minimum  
channel gain is recommended for minimum distortion.  
The standard format for data sent to SSM2160 is an address  
byte followed by a data byte. This is depicted in the truth table,  
Figure 19. Two 8-bit bytes are required for each Master and  
each of the six channel updates. The first byte sent contains the  
address and is identified by the MSB being logic high. The  
second byte contains the data and is identified by the MSB being  
logic low. The 7 LSBs of the first data byte set the attenuation level  
from 0 dB to –127 dB for the Master. The 5 LSBs of the byte set  
the Channel gain levels from 0 dB to 31 dB.

shifted in at rates up to 1 MHz (typically).

The shift register, CLK, is enabled when the WRITE input is  
low. The WRITE thus serves as a Chip Select input; however,  
the shift register contents are not transferred to the holding  
register until the rising edge of LD. In most cases, WRITE and  
LD will be tied together, forming a tradition 3-wire serial interface.  
Figure 20. VCA Control Scheme  
Control Range and Channel Tracking  
Each Channel VCA is controlled by its own DAC’s output, plus  
the control signal from the master DAC. This is shown in  
Figure 21. Channel DACs are configured to increase the gain of  
the VCA in 1 dB steps from zero to 31 dB. Thus, the midpoint  
(15, or 16 if you prefer) should be chosen as the center setting  
of the electronic balance controls. Since the master DAC feeds  
all summation nodes, the attenuation of all VCAs simulta-  
neously change from 0 dB to the noise floor.  
To enable a data transfer, the WRITE and LD inputs are driven  
logic low. The 8-bit serial data, formatted MSB first, is input on  
the DATA pin and clocked into the shift register on the falling  
edge of CLK. The data is latched on the rising edge of WRITE  
and LD.

Once the channel to channel balance has been set, the Master

Saturation Prevention  
NET GAIN/ATTEN  
Unlike a passive potentiometer, the SSM2160 can give up to  
+31 dB of gain, thereby creating a potential for saturating the  
VCAs, resulting in an undesirable clipping or overload condi-  
tion. Careful choice of input signal levels and digital gain  
parameters will eliminate the possibility. A few of the many  
acceptable gain and attenuation settings that keep the signals  
within the prescribed limits are shown in Table III. The  
input and output levels are given in mV rms and dBu (0 dBu  
= 0.775 V rms).

Master/Channel Step Sizes  
The details of the DAC control of the Channel VCAs is  
depicted in Figure 20. A 7-bit current output DAC and an op  
amp converts the digitally commanded master control level to  
an analog voltage. A capacitor across the feedback resistor  
limits the rate of change at the output to prevent clicking. A  
5-bit DAC converts the digitally commanded channel control  
level to a voltage via a resistor R. These two control signals sum  
in resistor R and are fed to the channel VCA. Although we  
Line Three of the table allows an input of –28 dBu, Master  
attenuation of 0 dB, and 31 dB Channel gain. The output is a  
maximum of 3 dBu (1.1 V rms), which is acceptable for power  
supplies of ±6 V or more. So long as V p-p < VSUPPLY/4, there  
will be no overloading (See Table I).

present the attenuation and gain as two separate items, in fact,  
the VCA can be operated smoothly from a gain condition to an

in the absence of external components. The step sizes can be  
changed by the addition of external resistors if finer resolution is  
desired.  
is connected between MSTR SET and MSTR OUT. There  
could be some variation from lot to lot, so applications requiring  
precise step size should include a fixed plus a trimmer to span  
the calculated value ±25%. In this example, RC is not needed  
as the default channel step size is already 1 dB. CH SET is left  
floating. With this step size, the dynamic range of the master  
control is:  
Control Range vs. Step Size  
Before adjusting step sizes from the standard 1 dB, consider the  
effect on control range. The master control and the channel  
control provide 1 dB step sizes, which may be modified by the  
addition of external resistors. As the total number of steps is  
unchanged, reduction of the step size results in less control  
range. The range of the control is:  
DNR = 0.5 × 127 dB = 63.5 dB  
In this configuration, the maximum master volume is 0 dB,  
while the minimum volume is –63.5 dB. Since the channel  
volume can still provide 0 dB to 31 dB of gain, the total system  
gain can vary between –63.5 dB and 32 dB. Note that a 0 dB  
command setting to the master control always results in unity  
gain, regardless of the step size.  
Range = Step Size (dB) × (Number of Levels Used)  
Since the master volume control operates from a 7-bit word, its  
DAC has 128 levels (including 0). The channel volume control  
DAC is a 5-bit input, so there are 32 levels for volume control  
(including 0). As can be seen in Figure 21, the practical control  
range is set by the noise floor. It can be advantageous to reduce  
the master step size to give finer steps from zero attenuation  
down to the noise floor.  
Channel Step Size  
The channel DACs’ full-scale current is set by an internal  
resistor to the V+. By shunting this resistor, the full-scale  
current, and therefore the step size, will increase. No provisions  
are available for reducing the channel step size. To increase the  
channel step size, place a resistor, RC, from CH SET to V+.  
Note that a 0 dB setting for a channel will always give unity  
gain, regardless of how large or small the step size is. This is  
true for both the master and channel volume controls.  
Reducing Master Step Size  
To reduce the master step size, place a resistor, RM, between  
MSTR SET and MSTR OUT. The master step size of the  
master volume control will then become:

than 1 dB. No resistor is required for the default value of 1 dB  
per step. For larger step sizes, use digital control. Noninteger  
dB step sizes can be obtained by using digital control and a  
reduced step size.

Example: Modifying Channel Step Size  
A channel step size of 1.3 dB is desired. From Figure 23 we see  
that a 40 resistor (approximately) connected from CH SET to  
V+ is required. As this varies from lot to lot, the exact value  
should be determined empirically, or a fixed resistor plus  
trimmer potentiometer should be used. Take care not to short  
Pin 24 to Pin 1 as damage will result.  
Muting  
The SSM2160 offers master and channel muting. On power  
up, the master mute is activated, thus preventing any transients  
from entering the signal path and possibly overloading amplifi-  
ers down the signal path. Mute is typically better than –95 dB  
relative to a 0 dBu input. Due to design limitations, the individual  
channel muting results in increased signal distortion in the  
unmuted channels. Users should determine if this condition is  
acceptable in the particular application.

DC Blocking and Frequency Response  
Load Considerations  
All internal signal handling uses direct coupled circuitry.  
Although the input and output dc offsets are small, dc blocking  
is required when the signal ground references are different.  
This will be the case if the source is from an op amp that uses  
dual power supplies (i.e., ±6 V), and the SSM2160 uses a single  
supply. If the signal source has the capability of operating with  
an externally supplied signal, connect the VREF (Pin 3) to the  
source’s external ground input either directly or through a  
buffer as shown in Figure 16.  
The output of each SSM2160 channel must be loaded with a  
minimum of 10 k. Connecting a load of less than 10 kwill  
result in increased distortion and may cause excessive internal  
heating with possible damage to the device. Capacitive loading  
should be kept to less than 50 pF. Excessive capacitive loading  
may increase the distortion level and may cause instability in the  
output amplifiers. If your application requires driving a lower  
impedance or more capacitive load, use a buffer as shown in  
Figure 24.  
The same consideration is applied to the load. If the load is  
returned to AGND, no capacitor is required. When the  
SSM2160 is operated from a single supply, there will be a dc  
output level of +VS/2 at the output. This will require dc blocking  
capacitors if driving a load referred to GND.  
1/2 SSM2135  
VOUT 1  
CH1 OUT  
SSM2160  
When dc blocking capacitors are used at the inputs and outputs,  
they form a high pass filter with the input and load resistance  
both of which are typically 10 k. To calculate the lower –3 dB  
frequency of the high-pass filter formed by the coupling capacitor  
and the input resistance, use the following formulas:

Windows Software  
Windows software is available to customers from Analog  
Devices to interface the serial port of a PC (running Windows

details on obtaining the software. For more details, see the  
Evaluation Board section.  
where R is the typically 10 kinput resistance of the SSM2160  
or the load resistance. C is the value of the blocking capacitor  
when fC is known.  
If a cutoff frequency of 20 Hz were desired, solving for C gives  
0.8 µF for the input or output capacitor. A higher load imped-  
ance will allow smaller output capacitors to give the same 20 Hz  
cutoff. Note that the overall low-pass filter will be the cascade  
of the two, so the response will be –6 dB at 20 Hz. A practical  
and economical choice would be 1 µF/15 V electrolytics.

Signal/Noise Considerations and Channel “Center” Gain  
The SSM2160 should be placed in the signal flow where levels  
are high enough to result in low distortion and good SNR, but  
not so high to require unusually high power supplies. In a  
typical application, input and output signal levels will be in the  
300 mV ± 200 mV rms range. This level is typically available  
from internal and external sources. As previously mentioned,  
the +31 dB of gain available in the VCA is usually used for  
balancing the various channels and is usually set to +15 dB or  
+16 dB in its “center” position. Due to the nature of VCAs’  
performance vs. gain, the minimum gain that will allow balanc-  
ing the channels should be used. If no balance function is  
required, the channel gain should be set to 0 dB. Use the  
lowest value of “centered” gain when less than the full balance  
range is needed. For example, if only ±6 dB channel gain  
variations were needed, the “center” could be set at +6 dB,  
giving +6 dB ± 6 dB, rather than at +15 dB ± 6 dB. This  
would result in improved S/N ratio and less distortion.

easily be coupled into the signal and ground paths if care is not  
taken with PC board trace routing, ground management, and  
proper bypassing. In addition, limiting the high state logic  
signal levels to 3.5 V will minimize noise coupling.

example assumes that audio left and right signals are being fed  
into Channels 1 and 2, respectively. Additional amplifiers could  
be connected to the outputs to provide additional channels.  
The master control will set the loudness, and the channel  
controls will set the balance. The headphone amplifiers may be  
connected to the same power supplies as the SSM2160. The  
stereo audio signals are directly coupled to the noninverting  
input of both op amps. Depending upon the headphones and  
the signal levels, the optional R1 may be selected to provide  
additional gain. The gain is determined by:

As an example, suppose a high impedance headphone (600 )  
required a minimum of 25 mW to produce the desired loudness.  
Further, suppose the system design made available an output  
level from the SSM2160 of 300 mV. If the output were buffered  
without gain and applied directly to the headphone, the power  
would be:

EVALUATION BOARD FOR THE SSM2160  
The following information is to be used with the SSM2160  
evaluation board, which simplifies connecting the part into  
existing systems. Audio signals are fed in and out via standard  
RCA-type audio connectors. A stereo headphone driver socket  
is provided for the convenience of listening to Channels 1 and  
2. Microsoft Windows software is available for controlling the  
serial data bus of the SSM2160 via the parallel port driver  
(LPT) of an IBM-compatible PC. The software may be  
downloaded from the Analog Devices Internet web site at  
http://WWW.ANALOG.COM, or by requesting a diskette from  
Analog Audio marketing by faxing (408)727-1550. The demo  
board comes complete with the necessary parallel port cable and  
telephone type plug that mates with the evaluation board.

P =

This is obviously too little power, so we solve the equation for  
the voltage required to produce the desired power of 25 mW:  
V = PR  
V = 0.025 × 600 = 3.9 V rms  
The gain of the amplifiers must then be:  
Power Supplies  
The demo board should be connected to ±6 V supplies for  
initial evaluation. If other supply voltages are planned, they can  
be subsequently changed. The power configuration on the  
evaluation board is per Figure 14.

Signal Inputs and Outputs  
=12  
Input load impedances are approximately 10 k, so the load on  
the sources is relatively light. DC blocking capacitors are  
provided on the evaluation board. The load impedance  
connected to the outputs must be no less than 10 kand no  
more than 50 pF shunt capacitance. This enables driving short  
lengths of shielded or twisted wire cable. If heavier loads must  
be driven, use an external buffer as shown in Figure 25. Note  
that 50 isolation resistors are placed in series with each  
SSM2160 output and may be jumpered if desired.

If lower impedance headphones were used, say 30 , the voltage  
required would be 0.9 V rms, so a gain of 3 would suffice, thus  
R1 = 2.5 kand R2 = 5 k.  
The 100 pF capacitor, C2, in parallel with R2, creates a low-  
pass filter with a cutoff above the audible range, reducing the  
gain to high frequency noise. A small resistor within the  
feedback loop protects the output stage in the event of a short  
circuit at the headphone output but does not measurably reduce  
the signal swing or loop gain. The dc blocking capacitor at the  
output establishes a high pass filter with a –3 dB corner fre-  
quency determined by the value of C1 and the headphone  
impedance. With 600 headphones, an output capacitor of 15  
µF sets this corner at 20 Hz. Similarly, a 30 headphone will  
require 250 µF.  
Digital Interface  
The interconnecting cable provided has a DB25 male connector  
for the parallel port of the PC and an RJ14 plug that connects to  
the evaluation board. This cable is all that is required for the  
computer interface.  
Software Installation  
If installing the software from a diskette, and using Windows  
version 3.1 or later, select the RUN command from the FILE  
menu of the Program Manager. In the command line, type  
a:\setup and press return. If you downloaded the software to  
REV. 0  
–13–  
SSM2160/SSM2161  
your hard disk from the Analog Devices website to, say,  
C:\SSM2160, on the command line type C:\SSM2160\SETUP  
and press Return. The software will be automatically installed  
and a SSM2160 start-up icon will be displayed. Double-click  
the icon to start the application. Under the menu item “Port,”  
select the parallel port that is assigned to the connector used on  
your PC if different from the default LPT1.  
Channel Volume  
Each of the channel fader controls can be set to one of 32 levels  
of gain, from 0 dB to +31 dB. See master volume above for details.  
Channel Mute  
Same function as Master Mute but on a channel basis. Due to  
the design limitations, muting an individual channel results in  
an increased distortion level of the unmuted channels. Users  
must determine if this condition is acceptable in their application.  
Windows Control Panel  
The control panel contains all the functions required to control  
the SSM2160, and each feature will be described below. A  
mouse is needed to operate the various controls. It is possible  
to overload the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) by incor-  
rect input levels, master and control settings. If you have not  
read the sections of the data sheet regarding control planning,  
do so now. While no damage will occur to the SSM2160, the  
results will be unpredictable.  
Channel Balance  
The channel balance fader adjusts all channels over their range  
without affecting the master volume setting. Relative channel  
differences will be maintained until the top or the bottom of the  
range is reached. The master volume fader does the same function  
as this fader, which was made available for evaluation convenience.  
Fades  
Both master and channel fades can be achieved by pressing the  
“MEM 1” button when levels are at a desired starting position  
and the “MEM 2” button at the desired ending position. “Fade”  
controls individual channels and “Master Fade,” the master  
volume. “Fade Time” sets timing from 0.1 (fastest) to 9.9  
(slowest). Press “Fade” to commence operation. If “Fade” is  
pressed again, a fade back to the starting point will occur. The  
“Jump” button causes a direct jump to the opposite memory  
position.  
Master Volume  
The master volume fader controls the 7-bit word that deter-  
mines the attenuation level. There are 128 levels (27) that range  
from zero dB attenuation through –127 dB attenuation. To  
change the level, simply click the up or down arrows or click in  
the space directly above or below the fader “knob,” or “drag”  
the knob up or down to its desired position. (Drag refers to  
placing the screen cursor arrowhead on the control, pressing and  
holding the left mouse button while moving the arrow to the  
desired position.)  
Halt  
“Halt” is a software interrupt in case of a problem, or to stop a  
long fade time.  
Master Mute  
Below the master volume fader is the Master Mute button.  
Click this button to mute all channels. Clicking it again will  
unmute all channels. The application defaults to MUTE when  
started. Mute reduces outputs to approximately –95 dB below  
inputs up to 0 dBu.  
Update  
Data currently on display is resent to the SSM2160. This is  
useful when parts are being substituted in the evaluation board,  
or when the interface cable is changed.
