Abstract
An electronic volume control circuit in which the volume setting can be finely controlled, regardless of the level of the input signal, and the output sound level can be rapidly changed. A digital signal is produced indicative of either the duration of up and down instruction signals or a number of times of occurrence of the up or down instruction signals. This digital signal is decoded in accordance with a look-up table to produce data indicative of an increase or decrease width of the volume data. An arithmetic circuit operates in response to the output of the decoder to increase or decrease the volume data according to the up and down instruction signals, and the attenuation or amplification of the input signal is established accordingly.
