MAX6958BAEE+T

Display Drivers Overview

The MAX6958BAEE+T is a serially interfaced LED display driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It supports 4-digit displays with 36 segments and operates on a 3V to 5.5V supply. The device features a QSOP-16 surface-mount package, drawing a maximum power supply current of 6.7 mA. It provides high-level output currents of 30 mA and low-level sink currents up to 275 mA. The component functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, with a power dissipation rating of 667 mW.

Display Drivers Feature Summary

• Supports 2-wire serial interface for simplified system connectivity
• Provides constant-current drive capability for LED segments
• Integrates internal oscillator to reduce external component count

Display Drivers Applications

• Digital panel meters
• Industrial control displays
• Consumer appliance interfaces

Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Check for obsolescence or limited availability notices from Analog Devices. Ensure the supplier source is authorized to guarantee part authenticity and traceability.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4-digit, 36-segment LED display requires serial control. Verify that the required segment current and digit drive capabilities align with the 30 mA source and 275 mA sink limits. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Display Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6958 series of LED display drivers. It shares functional similarities with other Maxim integrated display controllers but is distinguished by its specific segment configuration and serial interface protocol. The BAEE+ designation identifies the commercial grade and lead-free construction.

Display Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the MAX6958 family. Verify electrical parameters and interface compatibility before substituting with other LED drivers.
