Abstract
An electronic volume device of a chopper type in which a switching control unit thereof can be composed of a monolithic integrated circuit and which controls a quantity of attenuation of an analog signal input to the device by switching the analog signal at predetermined periods. A comparator compares the volume control data generated by a volume control data generator and the counts of a counter which counts clocks having a predetermined period to output a signal indicative of the result of the comparison. This signal controls a tri-state buffer, the output of which is used to switch the input signal.
