MAX7233BFIPL+

Display Drivers Overview

The MAX7233BFIPL+ is a liquid crystal display driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an 18-segment configuration designed for driving up to four characters. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and draws a typical supply current of 30 µA. It utilizes a parallel interface for data communication. The component is housed in a 40-PDIP package with a width of 0.600 inches (15.24mm). It supports through-hole mounting and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C.

Display Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrated multiplexing circuitry efficiently drives LCD segments or digits, reducing external component count.

Display Drivers Applications

• Driving 18-segment LCD displays
• Displaying up to four characters on liquid crystal modules

Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and package type against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with existing board layouts. Confirm that the parallel interface requirements match the host controller's capabilities. Check for availability status as this part may be obsolete or have limited stock depending on the distributor. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified operating temperature range during installation.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated driver for 18-segment LCDs is required with low power consumption. The parallel interface suits systems where serial bus resources are constrained or higher throughput is needed. Consider the 40-PDIP package constraints for PCB space and mounting style. Verify voltage compatibility with the system's 4.5V to 5.5V rail before integration.
