MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX6970AAE LED Driver

The MAX6970AAE+ is a compact 8-port LED driver in a 16-pin SSOP package, capable of operating up to 36V. It features eight open-drain, constant-current sinking outputs rated at 55mA, with current programmable via a single external resistor. Using an industry-standard 4-wire serial interface with shift register and latch architecture, it allows cascading for comprehensive LED display control. Ideal for message signs, marquees, traffic signs, gaming, and architectural lighting, it operates over 3V to 5.5V and a -40°C to 125°C temperature range, with current matching within 3%, and across ICs within 6%.
