2.Application Note
1) Voltage gain
The voltage gain of the AN5272 can be varied by changing the resistor R2 as shown below :
GVI
GV input = 4 dB Pin8
which is fixed in 11
internal circuit.
Pin7,12
R1
R1 is always fixed at 20 kΩ.
R2 is variable.
GVO = 20 log (R1/R2)
Typical values are : R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ
CNF = 10 µF
R2
GVO = 20 log (20 k/1 k)
= 26 dB
GVTOTAL = GVI + GVO
= 4 dB + 26 dB
= 30 dB
2) DC volume control
The DC volume control range is 0 V to 5 V. This range is used in order to be easily controlled by micro-computer
using PWM output. The recommended circuit and volume attenuation characteristic are shown below :

3) Oscillation
To prevent oscillation, it is advisable to use RC (Zobel network) at output. C of polyester film capacitor has smaller
characteristic fluctuation with temperature and frequency. The resistor R connected in series with C is effective for
phase correction at high frequency, and as a result, it improves the oscillation allowance.
