MAX695EPE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX695EPE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current that the MAX695EPE+ can sink or source?
  The MAX695EPE+ can sink up to 80mA per segment and source up to 20mA per segment.
• How do I ensure that the MAX695EPE+ is properly initialized after power-up?
  The MAX695EPE+ requires a reset pulse on the RST pin after power-up to ensure proper initialization. The reset pulse should be at least 100ns wide and have a voltage level of VCC or higher.
• What is the purpose of the NOE (No-Operation Enable) pin?
  The NOE pin is used to disable the MAX695EPE+ and reduce power consumption when not in use. When NOE is high, the device is enabled, and when NOE is low, the device is disabled.
• How do I interface the MAX695EPE+ with a microcontroller?
  The MAX695EPE+ can be interfaced with a microcontroller using a 3-wire serial interface (SCLK, SDIN, and SDOUT). The microcontroller can send data to the MAX695EPE+ using the SDIN pin, and the MAX695EPE+ can send data back to the microcontroller using the SDOUT pin.
• What is the maximum frequency of the serial clock (SCLK) input?
  The maximum frequency of the serial clock (SCLK) input is 10MHz.
