MAX6972 Datasheet (Maxim Integrated Products) - (MAX6972 / MAX6973) 16-Output PWM LED Drivers

MAX6972, (MAX6972 / MAX6973) 16-Output PWM LED Drivers

The MAX6972/MAX6973 precision current-sinking, 16-output PWM LED drivers drive red, green, and/or blue LEDs for full-color graphic message boards and video displays.

Each output has an individual 12-bit (MAX6972) or 14-bit (MAX6973) PWM-intensity (hue) control and 7-bit (MAX6972) or 5-bit (MAX6973)
