USAGE
Three usages of the M35501FP are described below.
(1) 16-Digit Mode: 16 digits selected
The number of digits is set to 16 by fixing the OVFIN pin to “H” and
the SEL pin to “L.” Figure 5 shows the output waveform.
(2) Optional Digit Mode: 1-16 digits selectable
When the number of CLK pin rising edges during an “H” period of
the SEL pin is n and the OVFIN pin is fixed to “H,” the number of
digits set is n. If n is 16 or more, all 16 digits are set. Figure 6
shows the output waveform.

(3) Cascade Mode: 17 digits or more selectable
17 digits or more can be used by connecting two M35501FPs or
more. Figure 7 shows an example using three M35501FPs, offering
33 to 48 digit outputs.
Cascade mode will not operate if all M35501FPs are in 16-digit
mode (SEL = “L”). Use the most significant M35501FP in the optional
digit mode for DIG output. Figure 8 shows the output waveform.
