This circuit could be used                          for replacing your manual volume control in a stereo                          amplifier. In this circuit, push-to-on switch S1 controls                          the forward (volume increase) operation of both channels                          while a similar switch S2 controls reverse (volume decrease)                          operation of both channels.
                                 
A readily available IC from Dallas semiconductor, DS1669 is used here.
FEATURES:
- Replaces mechanical variable resistors
 - Electronic interface provided for digital as well as manual control
 - Wide differential input voltage range between 4.5 and 8 volts
 - Wiper position is maintained in the absence of power
 - Low-cost alternative to mechanical controls
 - Applications include volume, tone, contrast,brightness, and dimmer control
 
The circuit is extremely simple and compact requiring very few external components.
The power supply can vary from 4.5V to 8V.
