PIN DESCRIPTIONS

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-

terminal in relation to wiper movement direction

selected by the U/D input and not the voltage potential

on the terminal.

minal of a mechanical potentiometer. The position of

the wiper within the array is determined by the control

inputs. The wiper terminal series resistance is typically

40

Ω.

Up/Down (U/D)

The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper move-

ment and whether the counter is incriminated or decre-

mented.

Increment (INC)

The INC input is negative-edge triggered. Toggling INC

will move the wiper and either increment or decrement

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.
