play drivers that interface microprocessors to 8 x 8 dot-
matrix red, green, and yellow (R,G,Y) LED displays
through a high-speed 4-wire serial interface.
The MAX6960–MAX6963 drive two monocolor 8 x 8
matrix displays, or a single RGY 8 x 8 matrix display with
no external components. The driver can also be used
with external pass transistors to control red, green, blue
(RGB) and other displays at higher currents and voltages.
The MAX6960–MAX6963 feature open- and short-circuit
LED detection, and provide both analog and digital tile
segment current calibration to allow 8 x 8 displays from
different batches to be compensated or color matched.
A local 3-wire bus synchronizes multiple interconnected
MAX6960–MAX6963s and automatically allocates memory
map addresses to suit the user’s display-panel
architecture.
The MAX6960–MAX6963s’ 4-wire interface connects mul-
tiple drivers, with display memory mapping shared and
allocated among the drivers. A single global write opera-
tion can send a command to all MAX6960s in a panel.
The MAX6963 drives monocolor displays with two-step
intensity control. The MAX6962 drives monocolor displays
with two-step or four-step intensity control. The MAX6961
drives monocolor or RGY displays with two-step intensity
control. The MAX6960 drives monocolor or RGY displays
with two-step or four-step intensity control.

Multiplex Clock Input. Drive OSC with a 1MHz to 8.5MHz CMOS clock.
Chip-Select Input. Serial data is loaded into the shift register when

loaded into the data latch on
CS's
rising edge.
Serial-Data Input. Data from DIN loads into the internal shift register on CLK's rising edge.
Serial-Data Output. The output is tri-state.
Serial-Clock Input. On CLK's rising edge data shifts into the internal shift register.

Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass V+ to GND with a single 47µF bulk capacitor per chip
plus a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor per V+.
Address-Data Output. Connect ADDOUT to ADDIN of the next MAX6960. Use ADDOUT of
the last MAX6960 as a plane change interrupt output.
Address-Data Input. For first MAX6960, connect ADDIN to V+. For other MAX6960s,
connect ADDIN to ADDOUT of the preceding MAX6960.
Address-Clock Input/Output. Connect ADDCLK of all MAX6960 drivers together, ensuring
that only one MAX6960's ADDIN input is connected to V+.
Digit 0 Current Setting. Connect RISET0 to GND to program all of digit 0's segment

to 20mA. Connect RISET0 to GND through a fixed or variable resistor to adjust all of digit
0's segment currents between 20mA and 40mA.
Digit 1 Current Setting. Connect RISET1 to GND to program all of digit 1's segment
