MAX6946 Description
The MAX6946/MAX6947 I2C -/SMBus TM-patible, serial-interfaced peripherals provide microprocessors with 10 I/O ports rated to 7V. Each port can be configured as a 2.5mA to 20mA constant-current LED driver (static or PWM), a 1.25mA to 10mA constant-current LED driver (static or PWM), an open-drain logic output, or an overvoltage-protected Schmitt logic input. Analog and switching LED intensity control includes indi..
