The MAX6955AAX+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is a versatile and compact display driver that can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers and used in a wide range of applications. This IC is specifically designed to drive multiple seven-segment displays, but it can also be used to control other types of displays like dot matrix, bar graph, and alphanumeric displays.
Key Features:
1. High Integration: The MAX6955AAX+T is an all-in-one display driver that incorporates a serial interface, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and digit drivers, and other necessary functions. This high level of integration reduces the circuit complexity and occupies less board space.
2. Compact Package: This IC is available in a small 36-pin TQFN (Thin Quad Flat No-Lead) package, making it suitable for applications with limited space constraints.
3. Daisy-Chainable: One of the notable features of the MAX6955AAX+T is its ability to be daisy-chained with other ICs. This allows multiple MAX6955AAX+T devices to be linked together in a series using a single data line, simplifying the interconnection and reducing the number of input/output pins required from the microcontroller.
4. High Driving Capability: The IC can drive up to 16 seven-segment alphanumeric displays or 128 individual LEDs with a maximum current output of 40mA per segment/digit
