What do these arrows represent? Is there any way to memorize it easily?

3\$\begingroup\$ This is precisely what these arrows are here for: to designate signal directions, so you don't need to "memorize" the major pin function. \$\endgroup\$– Ale..chenskiCommented Sep 22, 2018 at 16:45

\$\begingroup\$ Argh; I used to hate stuff like that. The good news is that, in the real world, you can refer to datasheets as often as you like. :-) \$\endgroup\$– Steve MelnikoffCommented Sep 27, 2018 at 11:25

They indicate data direction. Arrows pointing to the chip indicate that those pins are inputs and vice versa. Bidirectional arrows indicate they are either inputs/outputs, depending on the circumstances.
If you want to memorize it, I think you should memorize those pins meanings first.

\$\begingroup\$ yea i have memorized the pins , the problem is that some pins have 2 arrows and some dont . \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 22, 2018 at 4:16

1\$\begingroup\$ @MarkHenry The double arrows represent pins that are bidirectional - may be either input or output, depending on the circumstances. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 22, 2018 at 5:20
