PIN DESCRIPTIONS
VH and VL
The high (VH) and low (VL) terminals of the device are
equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer. The minimum voltage is –5V and the
maximum is +5V. It should be noted that the terminol-
ogy of VL and VH references the relative position of the
terminal in relation to wiper movement direction
selected by the U/D input and not the voltage potential
on the terminal.
VW
VW is the wiper terminal, equivalent to the movable
terminal of a mechanical potentiometer. The position
of the wiper within the array is determined by the con-
trol inputs. The wiper terminal series resistance is typi-
cally 40Ω.
Up/Down (U/D)
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper
movement and whether the counter is incriminated or
decremented.
Increment (INC)
The INC input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling
INC will move the wiper and either increment or decre-
ment the counter in the direction indicated by the logic
level on the U/D input.
Chip Select (CS)
The device is selected when the CS input is LOW. The
current counter value is stored in nonvolatile memory
when CS is returned HIGH while the INC input is also
HIGH. After the store operation is complete the device
will be placed in the low power standby mode until the
device is selected once again.
