BTL stereo Class-D audio amplifier with I2S input

8.5.2 Digital volume control

In I2C control mode both audio channels have separate digital volume control. In Legacy

control mode the volume control of both channels is common and the volume control

setting depends on the supply voltage on the pin AVOL (32).

8-bit volume control is available per channel. This is dB-linear down to 124 dB in steps of

0.5 dB. The last step of the volume control is mute.

Table 16 shows the various settings and their related channel suppression:
