BRIEF DESCRIPTION
RW1. The RW1 pin of the X93256 is the wiper terminal of the first potentiometer, which is equivalent to the movable
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer.
RL1. The RH1 and RL1 pins of the X93256 are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer. The
minimum voltage is VSS and the maximum is VCC. The terminology of RH1 and RL1 references the relative position of
the terminal in relation to wiper movement direction selected by the U/D input.
Chip Select 1 (CS1). The first potentiometer is selected when the CS1 input is LOW. The current counter value is stored
in nonvolatile memory when CS1 is returned HIGH while the INC1 input is also HIGH. After the store operation is
complete, the first potentiometer of the X93256 will be placed in the low power standby mode until the first potentiometer
is selected once again.
Increment 2 (INC2). The INC2 input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling INC2 will move the wiper of the second
potentiometer and either increment or decrement the counter in the direction indicated by the logic level on the U/D2
input.
Up/Down 2 (U/D2). The U/D2 input controls the direction of the second potentiometer wiper movement and whether the
counter for the second potentiometer is incremented or decremented.
RH2. The RH2 and RL2 pins of the X93256 are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer. The
minimum voltage is VSS and the maximum is VCC. The terminology of RH2 and RL2 references the relative position of
the wiper terminal for the second potentiometer in relation to the wiper movement direction selected by the U/D2 input.
Ground.
RW2. The RW2 pin of the X93256 is the wiper terminal of the second potentiometer, which is equivalent to the movable
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer.
RL2. The RH2 and RL2 pins of the X93256 are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer. The
minimum voltage is VSS and the maximum is VCC. The terminology of RH2 and RL2 references the relative position of
the wiper terminal for the second potentiometer in relation to the wiper movement direction selected by the U/D2 input.
Chip Select 2 (CS2). The second potentiometer is selected when the CS2 input is LOW. The current counter value is
stored in nonvolatile memory when CS2 is returned HIGH while the INC2 input is also HIGH. After the store operation is
complete, the second potentiometer of the X93256 will be placed in the low power standby mode until the second
potentiometer is selected once again.
Supply Voltage.
Increment 1(INC1). The INC1 input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling INC1 will move the wiper of the first
potentiometer and either increment or decrement the counter in the direction indicated by the logic level on the U/D1
input.
Up/Down 1 (U/D1). The U/D1 input controls the direction of the first potentiometer wiper movement and whether the
counter for the first potentiometer is incremented or decremented.
RH1. The RH1 and RL1 pins of the X93256 are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical potentiometer. The
minimum voltage is VSS and the maximum is VCC. The terminology of RH1 and RL1 references the relative position of
the wiper terminal for the first potentiometer in relation to the wiper movement direction selected by the U/D1 input.
