MAX6951EEE+

Display Drivers Overview

The MAX6951EEE+ is an LED display driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, housed in a 16-pin QSOP package. It supports serial interfacing and operates within a supply voltage range of +2.7V to +5.5V. The device drives up to 8 digits or 64 segments with a maximum power dissipation of 667 mW. Key electrical parameters include a maximum supply current of 15 mA, a high-level output current of -50 mA, and a low-level output current of 400 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Display Drivers Feature Summary

• Serial interface compatibility for simplified system integration
• High drive capability supporting up to 64 segments
• Wide operating voltage range suitable for various logic levels

Display Drivers Applications

• Driving multi-digit LED displays
• Segmented LCD or LED panel control
• Industrial instrumentation displays
• Consumer appliance status indicators

Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EEE+' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the industrial temperature grade and lead-free RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels may vary. Ensure the QSOP-16 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring serial control of large LED arrays with limited microcontroller pins. Consider the 400 mA low-level sink capability for direct driving of high-current segments without external transistors. Verify that the 2.7V minimum supply voltage aligns with your system's power rails and that the QSOP-16 package fits the available board space constraints.

Display Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6951 series of LED display drivers from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. The series focuses on providing efficient control for numeric and alphanumeric displays using minimal interface lines. The EEE designation typically indicates an extended industrial temperature range variant compared to commercial grade options.

Display Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX6951 variants with different suffixes (e.g., CEE) if temperature ranges differ. Evaluate MAX6950 or MAX6959 series parts for similar functionality but potentially different digit/segment counts or interface requirements.
