Description
The ELM406 is an 8 pin integrated circuit that is used to convert the output from a rotary encoder into three signals (chip select, clock and up/down) that can be used to control various devices. The low power CMOS technology used ensures that only a very small current is required over the entire 2.0 to 5.5 volt operating range.

Features
• Low power CMOS design
• Wide supply range – 2.0 to 5.5 volts
• Complete debouncing of the encoder inputs
• No external filtering needed
• 2x decoding
• Can generate a write sequence
• Startup delay timer
• High current drive outputs

Applications
• Digital audio potentiometer controls
• Variable voltage or temperature circuits
• Positioning controls
• Tuning circuits
