16-Port, 36V Constant-Current LED Driver
General Description
The MAX6971 serial-interfaced LED driver provides 16 open-drain, constant-current-sinking LED driver outputs rated at 36V. The MAX6971 operates from a 3V to 5.5V supply. The MAX6971 supply and the LEDs’ supply or supplies can power up in any order. The constant-current outputs are programmed together to up to 55mA using a single external resistor. The MAX6971 operates with a 25Mb, industry-standard, 4-wire serial interface. The MAX6971 uses the industry-standard, shift-registerplus-latch-type serial interface. The driver accepts data shifted into a 16-bit shift register using data input DIN and clock input...
