HARDWARE CONTROL INTERFACE

Multi-Function Pins

The Hardware Control Interface (JP9) provides access to
the Multi-Function (MF) pins which decode 4-level supply
voltages to establish two independent settings per pin.  The
first setting determines chip address. The second setting
determines configuration of the LXT970A.
