MAX6964AEG+

LED Driver IC Overview

The MAX6964AEG+ is a 17-output LED driver and general-purpose output device manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V and features low-level output current capability of 50 mA. The component is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 1.666 W, with a maximum supply current of 122.1 uA.

LED Driver IC Feature Summary

• Integrates 17 outputs for driving LEDs or providing logic outputs with external resistive pull-up up to 7V
• Includes eight-bit PWM current control for intensity adjustment
• Features hot-insertion protection capabilities

LED Driver IC Applications

• LED display systems requiring intensity control
• Automotive display clusters
• General-purpose output applications

LED Driver IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AEG+' against the official datasheet to confirm the 24-pin QSOP package and commercial/industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with I2C-compatible serial interfaces if used in digital control loops. Cross-reference pinouts carefully as variations exist within the MAX6964 family.

LED Driver IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a high number of individually controllable LED outputs is required within a compact 24-pin form factor. It is suitable for designs needing integrated PWM dimming and hot-swap protection. Verify that the 50 mA sink current per output meets the load requirements without exceeding the total power dissipation limits of the QSOP package.

LED Driver IC Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6964 series of LED drivers from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. The series is designed for applications requiring multiple LED outputs with individual intensity control. The AEG+ variant specifically denotes the 24-SSOP/QSOP package option, distinguishing it from other package types like TQFN available in the same functional family.

LED Driver IC Replacement Considerations

MAX6964ATG+ offers identical functionality but utilizes a TQFN-24 package instead of QSOP. Verify footprint compatibility before substitution.
