DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

Operation with a parallel interface
iC-JX can be operated with either a serial or parallel The parallel interface in iC-JX consists of 8 data, 5 ad-

Operation with a serial interface
serial-peripheral interface (SPI) has been integrated
To reduce the number of lines running between the into iC-JX. In order to ensure communication between
microcontroller and iC-JX and thus to economize on the iC-JX and standard micro controllers, address and
the use of optocouplers between the former and either data words are both eight bit wide. A possible wiring is
one or several iCs in a unit, for example, an extended shown in Figure 7.
