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.
