Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging distinct from the tube variant. Confirm the manufacturer part number matches exactly. Check RoHS compliance status. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Validate that the component is new and unused before integration.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-density LED matrix driving with minimal external components. The integrated oscillator simplifies design compared to devices requiring external clock sources. Consider the thermal performance given the specified power dissipation limits in enclosed environments.

Display Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6960 series of LED display drivers designed for large-scale matrix applications. It replaces older discrete driver solutions by integrating multiple functions into a single IC. The series is widely used in commercial and industrial display systems requiring reliable multiplexed driving capabilities.

Display Drivers Replacement Considerations

MAX6960ATH+ is the tube-packaged equivalent. MAX6960AMH+D is an MQFP-44 alternative.
