MAX6958AAEE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX6958AAEE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current that the MAX6958AAEE+ can sink or source?
  The MAX6958AAEE+ can sink up to 30mA per segment and source up to 10mA per segment.
• How do I ensure that the display is updated correctly when using the MAX6958AAEE+?
  To ensure correct display updates, make sure to follow the recommended timing diagrams and pulse widths for the clock, data, and latch signals. Also, ensure that the display is properly initialized and that the correct display mode is selected.
• What is the purpose of the internal oscillator on the MAX6958AAEE+, and can it be disabled?
  The internal oscillator is used to generate the clock signal for the display. It can be disabled by connecting the OSCEN pin to GND, allowing an external clock signal to be used instead.
• How do I interface the MAX6958AAEE+ with a microcontroller?
  The MAX6958AAEE+ can be interfaced with a microcontroller using a 3-wire serial interface (clock, data, and latch signals). The microcontroller can send display data to the MAX6958AAEE+ using this interface.
• What is the maximum frequency of the clock signal that can be used with the MAX6958AAEE+?
  The maximum frequency of the clock signal that can be used with the MAX6958AAEE+ is 10MHz.
