Digitally-controlled Potentiometer




The same idea can be used to create digital Volume Control s, Attenuator s, or other controls under digital control. Usually such devices feature quite a high degree of accuracy, and find applications in instrumention, Mixing Desk s and other precision systems.

The DCP should not be confused with the Digital To Analogue Converter (DAC) which actually creates an analogue signal from a digital one. A DCP only controls an existing analogue signal digitally.
