Attenuation setting
The data stored in the D-ATT attenuation register,
accessed through the microprocessor interface,
determines the attenuation setting of the digital
attenuator. The D-ATT register data format is shown
below.

Digital attenuator operation
The attenuation register is reset to 0 (attenuation = 0
dB) after a system reset signal.
When data is written to the attenuation register,
through the microprocessor interface, the attenuation
changes from the current value to the new value at
the speed shown in the following table.

Soft muting operation
Soft muting ON/OFF is controlled by the MUTE
flag, accessed through the microprocessor interface.

ON ^{system reset.}
When muting is ON, the attenuation ramps down to
−∞ at the speed shown in the table. Similarly when
muting is OFF, the attenuation level returns to the
original value at the same speed.
If the contents of the DATT attenuation register are
changed while muting is ON (attenuation = −∞),
only the register contents are replaced. If muting is
subsequently turned OFF, the attenuation value
changes to the new value at the same speed as shown
in the table.
