        I got the data sheet and ran in to a small problem.  As a
computer user who happens to be blind, I have to run pdf
documents through a program to extract any text from them.  I
think this particular document is probably an image scan from an
old data sheet since the CD4048 is ancient.  What I got was a
front and back page identifying the data sheet as one for a
CD4048 and then four totally blank pages that should have had all
the good stuff but had nothing at all.

        I connected a CD4048 to pull-up resistors on all its
inputs and control lines and began trying various combinations of
the control pins which are Pins 7, 9 and 10.  It appears that Pin
9 changes the polarity of the output and 7 and 10 set whether the
chips ands or ors the inputs.

        Here is what I am still not sure of:

        Is the expansion pin bidirectional or just an input?  My
chip only started working correctly after I connected that pin to
ground.  I am not sure if it normally connects to the expansion
pin of a neighboring CD4048 or should be fed from the J output
which is Pin 1 of the neighboring CD4048.
        The only other thing I haven't figured out yet is whether
all four possible states of Pins 7 and 10 are used.  I did find
one combination in which the output went low upon grounding any
input so I assume that's the And condition.  The Pin-out, by the
way, lists Pin 2 as a K(D) or another control line.  It is the
Tristate line and can be permanently connected to VDD if the chip
is always in circuit.
