Description
MAX7219CNG – The MAX7219/MAX7221 are compact, serial input/output common-cathode display drivers that interface microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, or 64 individual LEDs. Included on-chip are a BCD code-B decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and digit drivers, and an 8×8 static RAM that stores each digit. Only one external resistor is required to set the segment current for all LEDs. The MAX7221 is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and Microwire™, and has slew-rate limited segment drivers to reduce EMI.
Features:
♦ 10MHz Serial Interface
♦ Individual LED Segment Control
♦ Decode/No-Decode Digit Selection
♦ 150µA Low-Power Shutdown (Data Retained)
♦ Digital and Analog Brightness Control
♦ Display Blanked on Power-Up
♦ Drive Common-Cathode LED Display
♦ Slew-Rate Limited Segment Drivers for Lower EMI (MAX7221)
♦ SPI, QSPI, Microwire Serial Interface (MAX7221)
♦ 24-Pin DIP and SO Packages
Applications:
Bar-Graph Displays
7-Segment Displays
Industrial Controllers
Panel Meters
LED Matrix Displays
