4-Wire-Interfaced, 2.5V to 5.5V, 20-Port and 28-Port LED Display Driver and I/O Expander
General Description
The MAX6957 compact, serial-interfaced LED display driver general-purpose I/O (GPIO) peripheral provides microprocessors with up to 28 ports. Each port is individually user configurable to either a logic input, logic output, or common-anode (CA) LED constant-current segment driver. Each port configured as an LED segment driver behaves as a digitally controlled constantcurrent sink, with 16 equal current steps from 1.5mA to 24mA. The LED drivers are suitable for both discrete LEDs and CA numeric and alphanumeric LED digits. Each port configured as a GPIO can be either a pushpull logic output capable of sinking 10mA and sourcing 4.5mA, or a Schmitt logic input with optional internal pullup. Seven ports feature configurable transition detection logic, which generates an interrupt upon change of port logic level. The MAX6957 is controlled through an SPITM-compatible 4-wire serial interface. The MAX6957AAX and MAX6957ATL have 28 ports and are available in 36-pin SSOP and 40-pin QFN packages, respectively. The MAX6957AAI and MAX6957ANI have 20 ports and are available in 28-pin SSOP and 28-pin DIP packages, respectively. For a 2-wire interfaced version, refer to the MAX6956 data sheet. o 2.5V to 5.5V Operation o -40C to +125C Temperature Range o 20 or 28 I/O Ports, Each Configurable as Constant-Current LED Driver Push-Pull Logic Output Schmitt Logic Input Schmitt Logic Input with Internal Pullup o 11A (max) Shutdown Current o 16-Step Individually Programmable Current Control for Each LED o Logic Transition Detection for Seven I/O Ports

MAX6957
Detailed Description
The MAX6957 LED driver/GPIO peripheral provides up to 28 I/O ports, P4 to P31, controlled through an SPIcompatible serial interface. The ports can be configured to any combination of constant-current LED drivers, logic inputs and logic outputs, and default to logic inputs on power-up. When fully configured as an LED driver, the MAX6957 controls up to 28 LED segments with individual 16-step adjustment of the constant current through each LED segment. A single resistor sets the maximum segment current for all segments, with a maximum of 24mA per segment. The MAX6957 drives any combination of discrete LEDs and CA digits, including seven-segment and starburst alphanumeric types. Figure 1 is the MAX6957 functional diagram. Any I/O port can be configured as a push-pull output (sinking 10mA, sourcing 4.5mA), or a Schmitt-trigger logic input. Each input has an individually selectable internal pullup resistor. Additionally, transition detection allows seven ports (P24 through P30) to be monitored in any maskable combination for changes in their logic status. A detected transition is flagged through a status register bit, as well as an interrupt pin (port P31), if desired. The Typical Operating Circuit shows two MAX6957s working together controlling three monocolor 16-segment-plus-DP displays, with five ports left available for GPIO (P27-P31 of U2).
The port configuration registers set the 28 ports, P4 to P31, individually as either LED drivers or GPIO. A pair of bits in registers 0x09 through 0x0F sets each port's configuration (Tables 1 and 2). The 36-pin MAX6957AAX has 28 ports, P4 to P31. The 28-pin MAX6957ANI and MAX6957AAI make only 20 ports available. The eight unused ports should be configured as outputs on power-up by writing 0x55 to registers 0x09 and 0x0A. If this is not done, the eight unused ports remain as floating inputs and quiescent supply current rises, although there is no damage to the part.
Register Control of I/O Ports and LEDs Across Multiple Drivers
The MAX6957 offers 20 or 28 I/O ports, depending on package choice. These can be applied to a variety of combinations of different display types, for example: seven, 7-segment digits (Figure 2). This example requires two MAX6957s, with one digit being driven by both devices, half by one MAX6957, half by the other (digit 4 in this example). The two drivers are static, and therefore do not need to be synchronized. The MAX6957 sees CA digits as multiple discrete LEDs. To simplify access to displays that overlap two MAX6957s, the MAX6957 provides four virtual ports P0 through P3. To update an overlapping digit, send the same code twice as an eight-port write, once to P28 through P35 of the first driver, and again to P0 through P7 of the sec5

ond driver. The first driver ignores the last 4 bits and the second driver ignores the first 4 bits. Two addressing methods are available. Any single port (bit) can be written (set/cleared) at once; or, any sequence of eight ports can be written (set/cleared) in any combination at once. There are no boundaries; it is equally acceptable to write P0 through P7, P1 through P8, or P31 through P38 (P32 through P38 are nonexistent, so the instructions to these bits are ignored). Using 8-bit control, a seven-segment digit with a decimal point can be updated in a single byte-write, a 14segment digit with DP can be updated in two byte-writes, and 16-segment digits with DP can be updated in two byte-writes plus a bit write. Also, discrete LEDs and GPIO port bits can be lit and controlled individually without affecting other ports.
Shutdown When the MAX6957 is in shutdown mode, all ports are forced to inputs, and the pullup current sources are turned off. Data in the port and control registers remain unaltered so port configuration and output levels are restored when the MAX6957 is taken out of shutdown. The display driver can still be programmed while in shutdown mode. For minimum supply current in shutdown mode, logic inputs should be at GND or V+ potential. Shutdown mode is exited by setting the S bit in the configuration register (Table 6). Shutdown mode is temporarily overridden by the display test function.

Figure 1. MAX6957 Functional Diagram
Serial Interface
The MAX6957 communicates through an SPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface. The interface has three inputs, Clock (SCLK), Chip Select (CS), and Data In (DIN), and one output, Data Out (DOUT). CS must be low to clock data into or out of the device, and DIN must be stable when sampled on the rising edge of SCLK. DOUT provides a copy of the bit that was input 15.5 clocks earlier, or upon a query it outputs internal register data, and is stable on the rising edge of SCLK. Note that the SPI protocol expects DOUT to be high impedance when the MAX6957 is not being accessed; DOUT on the MAX6957 is never high impedance. SCLK and DIN may be used to transmit data to other peripherals, so the MAX6957 ignores all activity on
SCLK and DIN except between the fall and subsequent rise of CS.
Control and Operation Using the 4-Wire Interface
Controlling the MAX6957 requires sending a 16-bit word. The first byte, D15 through D8, is the command address (Table 3), and the second byte, D7 through D0, is the data byte (Table 4). Connecting Multiple MAX6957s to the 4-Wire Bus Multiple MAX6957s may be daisy-chained by connecting the DOUT of one device to the DIN of the next, and driving SCLK and CS lines in parallel (Figure 4). Data at DIN propagates through the internal shift registers and appears at DOUT 15.5 clock cycles later, clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK. When sending commands

to multiple MAX6957s, all devices are accessed at the same time. An access requires (16 n) clock cycles, where n is the number of MAX6957s connected together. To update just one device in a daisy-chain, the user can send the No-Op command (0x00) to the others.
4) Take CS high (either while SCLK is still high after clocking in the last data bit, or after taking SCLK low). 5) Take SCLK low (if not already low). Figure 5 shows a write operation when 16 bits are transmitted. It is acceptable to clock more than 16 bits into the MAX6957 between taking CS low and taking CS high again. In this case, only the last 16 bits clocked into the MAX6957 are retained.
Writing Device Registers
The MAX6957 contains a 16-bit shift register into which DIN data are clocked on the rising edge of SCLK, when CS is low. When CS is high, transitions on SCLK have no effect. When CS goes high, the 16 bits in the Shift register are parallel loaded into a 16-bit latch. The 16 bits in the latch are then decoded and executed. The MAX6957 is written to using the following sequence: 1) Take SCLK low. 2) Take CS low. This enables the internal 16-bit shift register. 3) Clock 16 bits of data into DIN--D15 first, D0 last-- observing the setup and hold times (bit D15 is low, indicating a write command).
Reading Device Registers
Any register data within the MAX6957 may be read by sending a logic high to bit D15. The sequence is: 1) Take SCLK low. 2) Take CS low (this enables the internal 16-bit shift register). 3) Clock 16 bits of data into DIN--D15 first to D0 last. D15 is high, indicating a read command and bits D14 through D8 containing the address of the register to be read. Bits D7-D0 contain dummy data,

which is discarded. 4) Take CS high (while SCLK is still high after clocking in the last data bit), positions D7 through D0 in the Shift register are now loaded with the register data addressed by bits D1 through D8. 5) Take SCLK low. 6) Issue another read or write command (which can be a No-Op), and examine the bit stream at DOUT; the second 8 bits are the contents of the register addressed by bits D1 through D8 in step 3. ed with the condition of P24 through P31 whenever the configuration register is written with the M bit set. The update action occurs regardless of the previous state of the M bit so that it is not necessary to clear the M bit and then set it again to update the snapshot register. When the data change detection bit is set, the MAX6957 continuously compares the snapshot register against the changing states of P24 through P31. When a difference occurs, IRQ port P31 goes high if it is configured as an output. The IRQ output remains set until the mask register is next read or written. The IRQ status may be read back through the serial interface by externally connecting P31 (IRQ status pin) to any port pin configured as an input.
Initial Power-Up
On initial power-up, all control registers are reset, current registers are set to minimum value, and the MAX6957 enters shutdown mode (Table 4).
LED Current Control
LED segment drive current can be set either globally or individually. Global control simplifies the operation when all LEDs are set to the same current level, because writing one register, the Global Current register, sets the current for all ports configured as LED segment drivers. It is also possible to individually control the current drive of each LED segment driver. Individual/global brightness control is selected by setting the configuration register I bit (Table7). The global current register (0x02) data are then ignored, and segment currents are set using register addresses 0x12 through 0x1F (Tables 10, 11, and 12). Each segment is controlled by a nibble of one of the 16 current registers.
Display Test Register
Display test mode turns on all ports configured as LED drivers by overriding, but not altering, all controls and port registers, except the port configuration register (Table 14). Only ports configured as LED drivers are affected. Ports configured as GPIO push-pull outputs do not change state. In display test mode, each port's current is temporarily set to 1/2 the maximum current limit as controlled by RISET.
Selecting External Component RISET to Set Maximum Segment Current
The MAX6957 uses an external resistor RISET to set the maximum segment current. The recommended value, 39k, sets the maximum current to 24mA, which makes the segment current adjustable from 1.5mA to 24mA in 1.5mA steps. To set a different segment current, use the formula: RISET = 936k / ISEG where ISEG is the desired maximum segment current in mA. The recommended value of RISET is 39k. The recommended value of R ISET is the minimum allowed value, since it sets the display driver to the maximum allowed segment current. RISET can be a higher value to set the segment current to a lower maximum value where desired. The user must also ensure that the maximum current specifications of the LEDs connected to the driver are not exceeded. The drive current for each segment can be controlled through programming either the global current register (Table 9) or individual segment current registers (Tables 10, 11, and 12), according to the setting of the current control bit of the configuration register (Table 7).
Transition (Port Data Change) Detection
Port transition detection allows seven maskable ports P24 through P30 to be continuously monitored for changes in their logic status (Figure 6). Enable transition detection by setting the M bit in the configuration register (Table 8) after setting the mask register. If port 31 is configured as an output (Tables 1 and 2), then P31 automatically becomes an interrupt request (IRQ) output to flag detected transitions. Port 31 can be configured and used as a general-purpose input port instead if not required as the IRQ output. The mask register determines which of the seven ports P24 through P30 are monitored (Table 13). Set the appropriate mask bit to enable that port for transition detect. Clear the mask bit if transitions on that port are to be ignored by the transition detection logic. Ports are monitored regardless of their I/O configuration, both input and output. The MAX6957 maintains an internal 7-bit snapshot register to hold the comparison copy of the logic states of ports P24 through P30. The snapshot register is updat10

These registers select the LED's constant-current drive from 16 equal fractions of the maximum segment current. The current difference between successive current steps, I STEP , is therefore determined by the formula: ISTEP = ISEG / 16 If ISEG = 24mA, then ISTEP = 24mA / 16 = 1.5mA.
Power Dissipation Issues
Each MAX6957 port can sink a current of 24mA into an LED with a 2.4V forward-voltage drop when operated from a supply voltage of at least 3.0V. The minimum voltage drop across the internal LED drivers is therefore (3.0V - 2.4V) = 0.6V. The MAX6957 can sink 28 x 24mA = 672mA when all outputs are operating as LED segment drivers at full current. On a 3.3V supply, a MAX6957 dissipates (3.3V - 2.4V) 672mA = 0.6W when driving 28 of these 2.4V forward-voltage drop LEDs at full current. This dissipation is within the ratings of the 36-pin SSOP package with an ambient temperature up to +98C. If a higher supply voltage is used or the LEDs used have a lower forward-voltage drop than 2.4V, the MAX6957 absorbs a higher voltage, and the MAX6957's power dissipation increases. If the application requires high drive current and high supply voltage, consider adding a series resistor to each LED to drop excessive drive voltage off-chip. For example, consider the requirement that the MAX6957 must drive LEDs with a 2.0V to 2.4V specified forwardvoltage drop, from an input supply range is 5V 5% with a maximum LED current of 20mA. Minimum input supply voltage is 4.75V. Maximum LED series resistor
Applications Information
Driving Bicolor and Tricolor LEDs
Bicolor digits group a red and a green die together for each display element, so that the element can be lit red, green (or orange), depending on which die (or both) is lit. The MAX6957 allows each segment's current to be set individually from 1/16th (minimum current and LED intensity) to 16/16th (maximum current and LED intensity), as well as off (zero current). Thus, a bicolor (red-green) segment pair can be set to 289 color/intensity combinations. A discrete or CA tricolor (red-green-yellow or red-green-blue) segment triad can be set to 4913 color/intensity combinations.

value is (4.75V - 2.4V - 0.6V)/0.020A = 87.5. We choose 82 2%. Worst-case resistor dissipation is at maximum toleranced resistance, i.e., (0.020A)2 (82 1.02) = 34mW. The maximum MAX6957 dissipation per LED is at maximum input supply voltage, minimum toleranced resistance, minimum toleranced LED forward-voltage drop, i.e., 0.020 x (5.25V - 2.0V - (0.020A 82 x 0.98)) = 32.86mW. Worst-case MAX6957 dissipation is 920mW, driving all 28 LEDs at 20mA full current at once, which meets the 941mW dissipation ratings of the 36-pin SSOP package.
Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX6957 operates with power-supply voltages of 2.5V to 5.5V. Bypass the power supply to GND with a 0.047F capacitor as close to the device as possible. Add a 1F capacitor if the MAX6957 is far away from the board's input bulk decoupling capacitor.
Low-Voltage Operation
The MAX6957 operates down to 2V supply voltage (although the sourcing and sinking currents are not guaranteed), providing that the MAX6957 is powered up initially to at least 2.5V to trigger the device's internal reset, and also that the serial interface is constrained to 10Mbps.
