1-2) Counterclockwise Rotation
When the A and B signals are input as shown in Figure 4, the phase detection circuit outputs the
DOWN signal after the chattering absorption period. At this time, the KREQ output goes to a
high level, so that this signal can be used as the interrupt signal. The KREQ signal maintains a
high level until the rotary encoder read instruction is executed.

2) UP/DOWN Counter
The UP/DOWN counter is incremented when an UP signal is input and decremented when a DOWN
signal is input. However, if the counter reaches “0111” and an UP signal is input, the UP/DOWN
counter will hold “0111”. In the same manner, if the UP/DOWN counter is at “1000” and a DOWN
signal is input, the UP/DOWN counter will hold “1000”.
