Anyone try and interface this chip with arduino?

It says that the count position of the quadrature encoder is interfaced through a bus, that transmits 4 bytes at a time. I was wondering if anyone had experience or wanted to comment about talking with this chip, with arduino MEGA/UNO.

that transmits 4 bytes at a time.

I wouldn't say it transmits 4 bytes at a time because that implies you have no control over it. From what I can see all you do is provide the SEL1/2 signals, drop OEN and read the byte and you can do that in any order at any speed you like.

That will use 10 IO pins which is a lot but it will be fast.
