Write Control or Read/Write Control.
When the 8080 family interface is selected, this signal acts as the active-LOW write
strobe. The bus data is latched on the rising edge of this signal.
When the 6800 family interface is selected, this signal acts as the read/write control
signal. Data is read from the RA8835A series if this signal is HIGH, and written to the
RA8835A series if it is LOW.
Chip Select.
This active-LOW input enables the RA8835A series. It is usually connected to the
output of an address decoder device that maps the RA8835A series into the memory
space of the controlling microprocessor.

RES
Hardware Reset.
This active-LOW input performs a hardware reset on the RA8835A series. It is an
Schmitt-trigger input for enhanced noise immunity; however, care should be taken to
ensure that it is not triggered if the supply voltage is lowered.
5-1-2 Display Memory Control
The RA8835A series can directly access static RAM and PROM. The designer may use a mixture of
these two types of memory to achieve an optimum trade-off between low cost and low power
consumption.
