Negative Power-Supply Input. For single-supply operation, connect V
SS
to GND. For dual-
supply operation, -2.5V
≤ V
SS
≤ -0.2V as long as (V

≤ +5.25V. Bypass V
SS
to GND
with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor as close to the device as possible.

SPI/UD
Interface-Mode Select. Select serial SPI interface when SPI/UD = 1. Select serial up/down
interface when SPI/UD = 0.
Serial SPI Interface Data Input (SPI/UD = 1)

DIN(U/D)
Up/Down Control Input (SPI/UD = 0). With DIN(U/D) low, a high-to-low SCLK(INC) transition
decrements the wiper position. With DIN(U/D) high, a high-to-low SCLK(INC) transition
increments the wiper position.
Serial SPI Interface Clock Input (SPI/UD = 1)

SCLK(INC)
Wiper-Increment Control Input (SPI/UD = 0). With CS low, the wiper position moves in the
direction determined by the state of DIN(U/D) on a high-to-low transition.
