The 2-wire serial interface uses fixed 0.8V/2.1V logic thresholds for compatibility with 2.5V and 3.3V systems when the display driver is powered from a 5V supply. The MAX6958/MAX6959 drive up to four 7-segment digits, with decimal points, plus four discrete LEDs, or four 7-segment digits and eight discrete LEDs if the digits’ decimal points are not used, or up to 36 discrete LEDs. The MAX6959 also includes two input ports, one or both of which may be configured as a key-switch reader, which automatically scans and debounces a matrix of up to eight switches. Key-switch status is obtained by polling internal status registers or by configuring the MAX6959 interrupt output. Other on-chip features include a hexadecimal font for seven-segment displays, multiplex scan circuitry, anode and cathode drivers, and static RAM that stores each digit. The peak segment current for the display digits is set internally to 23mA. Display intensity is adjusted using a 64-step internal digital brightness control. The MAX6958/MAX6959 include a low-power shutdown mode, a scan-limit register that allows the user to display from one to four digits, and a test mode, which forces all LEDs on. The LED drivers are slew-rate-limited to reduce EMI. The MAX6958/MAX6959 are available in 16-pin PDIP and QSOP packages and are fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Table 1 lists the display connection scheme. The MAX6958/MAX6959 include the hexadecimal font map for seven-segment displays. The seven-segment LED digits can be controlled directly or programmed to use the hexadecimal font. Direct segment control allows the MAX6958/MAX6959 to drive bar graphs and discrete LED indicators. The MAX6958/MAX6959 use a multiplexing scheme that minimizes the connections between the driver and LED display. The MAX6958/MAX6959 can drive monocolor and bicolor single-digit type displays, and monocolor dual-digit displays. Dual-digit displays internally wire together the equivalent segments for each digit, requiring only eight segment pins instead of 16. The MAX6958/MAX6959 can also drive multidigit LED displays that have the segments individually pinned for each digit. To connect four single-digit displays to the MAX6958/ MAX6959, connect cathode outputs DIG0/SEG0– DIG3/SEG3 to the cathodes of the four display digits as shown in Table 1 (CC0–CC3). Drive eight additional LEDs with SEG0 to SEG7. Four of the eight LEDs can be the decimal point (DP) segments of the four displays, and the other four can be discrete LED indicators. To connect two dual-digit displays to the MAX6958/ MAX6959, connect cathode outputs DIG0/SEG0 and DIG1/SEG1 to the cathodes of the first dual digit. Connect DIG2/SEG2 and DIG3/SEG3 to the cathodes of the second dual digit. SEG0 to SEG3 can only drive discrete LEDs, not digit DP segments. SEG4 to SEG7 can drive the DP segments if required. Bicolor singledigit displays are connected and treated as dual-digit displays, each digit being one of the two colors. Table 1.

The MAX6959 additionally contains two logic input ports, INPUT1 and INPUT2. Each input port can be individually configured as either a general-purpose input port that is read through the serial interface, or as a keyscan input. In keyscan mode, the input is used to read and automatically debounce four key switches. A maximum of eight key switches can be read if both INPUT1 and INPUT2 are assigned to keyscanning. The MAX6958's SEG9 output is preconfigured as the 9th LED segment output. The IRQ/SEG9 output on the MAX6959 can be configured as either an open-drain logic output or the 9th segment output. This logic output serves as either a general-purpose logic output, set through the serial interface, or an interrupt (IRQ) output that alerts a microcontroller of debounced key-switch events. Key-switch status can also be obtained by polling the internal status registers at any time. Use the Option bit in the configuration register to detect whether a MAX6958 or MAX6959 is present. The option bit allows host software to establish whether a high-end front panel (using the MAX6959 for keyscan support) or a low-end panel (using a MAX6958 and no key switches) is fitted to a product. Serial Interface Serial Addressing The MAX6958/MAX6959 operate as a slave that sends and receives data through a 2-wire interface. The interface uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) to achieve bidirectional communication between master(s) and slave(s). A master, typically a microcontroller, initiates all data transfers to and from the MAX6958/MAX6959, and generates the SCL clock that synchronizes the data transfer (Figure 1). 6 The MAX6958/MAX6959 SDA line operates as both an input and an open-drain output. A pullup resistor, typically 4.7kΩ, is required on the SDA bus. The MAX6958/ MAX6959 SCL line operates only as an input. A pullup resistor, typically 4.7kΩ, is required on the SCL bus if there are multiple masters on the 2-wire interface, or if the master in a single-master system has an open-drain SCL output. Each transmission consists of a START condition (Figure 2) sent by a master, followed by the MAX6958/ MAX6959 7-bit slave address plus R/W bit (Figure 3), 1 or more data bytes, and finally a STOP condition (Figure 2). Start and Stop Conditions Both SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is not busy. A master signals the beginning of a transmission with a START (S) condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP (P) condition by transitioning the SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another transmission (Figure 2). SDA SCL S P START CONDITION STOP CONDITION Figure 2.

Slave Address CLOCK PULSE FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT START CONDITION SDA SCL 1 2 8 9 NOT ACKNOWLEDGE SCL DATA STABLE, DATA VALID SDA CHANGE OF DATA ALLOWED ACKNOWLEDGE Figure 4. Bit Transfer Figure 5. Acknowledge Bit Transfer One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable while SCL is high (Figure 4). The MAX6958/MAX6959 are available in one of two possible slave addresses (see Table 2 and Ordering Information). The first 6 bits (MSBs) of the MAX6958/ MAX6959 slave address are always 011100. Slave address bit A0 is internally hardwired to either GND in the MAX695_A_, or V+ in the MAX695_B_. A maximum of two MAX6958/MAX6959 devices can share a bus. Acknowledge The acknowledge bit is a clocked 9th bit that the recipient uses to handshake receipt of each byte of data (Figure 5). Thus, each byte transferred effectively requires 9 bits. The master generates the 9th clock pulse, and the recipient pulls down SDA during the acknowledge clock pulse, such that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of the clock pulse. When the master is transmitting to the MAX6958/MAX6959, the MAX6958/MAX6959 generate the acknowledge bit because the MAX6958/MAX6959 are the recipients. When the MAX6958/MAX6959 are transmitting to the master, the master generates the acknowledge bit because the master is the recipient. Message Format for Writing A write to the MAX6958/MAX6959 comprises the transmission of the MAX6958/MAX6959s’ slave address with the R/W bit set to zero, followed by at least 1 byte of information. The first byte of information is the command byte, which determines the register that stores the next byte written to the MAX6958/MAX6959. If a STOP condition is detected after the command byte is received, the MAX6958/MAX6959 take no further action (Figure 6) beyond storing the command byte. Table 2. MAX6958/MAX6959 Address Map Slave Address The MAX6958/MAX6959 have a 7-bit-long slave address (Figure 3). The eighth bit following the 7-bit slave address is the R/W bit. Set the R/W bit low for a write command and high for a read command.

Reading n Data Bytes from the MAX6958/MAX6959 Bytes received after the command byte are data bytes. The first data byte goes into the internal register of the MAX6958/MAX6959 as selected by the command byte (Figure 7). The address pointer in the MAX6958/MAX6959 autoincrements after each data byte. If multiple data bytes are transmitted before a STOP condition is detected, these bytes are stored in subsequent MAX6958/ MAX6959 internal registers (Figure 8), unless the address pointer has reached address 01111111. The address pointer does not autoincrement once address 01111111 has been reached (Table 3). Message Format for Reading The MAX6958/MAX6959 are read using the internally stored command byte as an address pointer the same way the stored command byte is used as an address pointer for a write. The pointer autoincrements after 8 each data byte read using the same rules as for a write (Table 3). A read is initiated by first configuring the MAX6958/MAX6959s’ command byte with a write command (Figure 6). The master can now read n consecutive bytes from the MAX6958/MAX6959. The master acknowledges receipt of each read byte during the acknowledge clock pulse. The master must acknowledge all consecutive bytes received except the last byte. The final read byte must be followed by a not acknowledge from the master and then a stop condition (Figure 9). The first data byte is read from the register addressed by the initialized command byte (Figure 8). Reset the address pointer when performing read-after-write verification because the stored byte address is autoincremented after the write. The address pointer does not autoincrement if it points to register 01111111 (Table 3). Table 4 is the register address map. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2-Wire Interfaced, 3V to 5.5V, 4-Digit, 9-Segment LED Display Drivers with Keyscan COMMAND BYTE ADDRESS RANGE AUTOINCREMENT BEHAVIOR 00000000 to 01111110 Command byte address autoincrements after byte read or written 01111111 Command byte address remains at 01111111 after byte written or read Address autoincrementing allows the MAX6958/ MAX6959 to be configured with the shortest number of transmissions by minimizing the number of times the command byte needs to be sent. The address pointer stored in the MAX6958/MAX6959 increments after each data byte is written or read, unless the address equals 01111111 (Table 3). Digit Type Registers Operation with Multiple Masters If the MAX6958/MAX6959 are operated on a 2-wire interface with multiple masters, a master reading the MAX6958/MAX6959 should use a repeated start between the write, which sets the MAX6958/MAX6959s’ address pointer, and the read(s) that takes the data from the location(s) set by the address pointer. It is possible for master 2 to take over the bus after master 1 has set up the MAX6958/MAX6959s’ address pointer but before master 1 has read the data. If master 2 subsequently changes the MAX6958/MAX6959s’ address pointer, then master 1's delayed read may be from an unexpected location. The MAX6958/MAX6959 store display data in five registers. The four digit registers each control the seven numeric segments of a seven-segment digit, but not the DP segments. The segments register controls eight individual LEDs, which can be any mix of discrete LEDs and any or all of the DP segments of the four 7-segment digits (Table 5) (Figure 10). a f b g e c dp d Figure 10.

No-Decode Mode Data Bits and Corresponding Segment Lines REGISTER BIT SEGMENT BEHAVIOR 0 Segment off 1 Segment on In hexadecimal code-decode mode, the decoder looks only at the lower nibble of the data in the digit register (D3–D0), disregarding bits D7–D4. Table 7 lists the hexadecimal code font. When no decode is selected, data bits D7–D0 correspond to the segment lines of the MAX6958/MAX6959. Table 8 shows the one-to-one pairing of each data bit to the appropriate segment line. Initial Power-Up Decode-Mode Register The decode-mode register sets hexadecimal code (0–9, A–F) or no-decode operation for each digit. Each bit in the register corresponds to one digit. Logic high selects hexadecimal decoding while logic low bypasses the decoder. Digits can be set for decode or no decode in any combination. Bit assignment and examples of the decode mode control register format are shown in Table 7. On initial power-up, all control registers are reset, the display is blanked, and the MAX6958/MAX6959 enter shutdown mode (Table 9). At power-up, the MAX6958/ MAX6959 are initially set to scan four digits, do not decode data in the digit registers or scan key switches (MAX6959 only), and the intensity register is set to a low value (4/64 intensity).

The S bit selects shutdown or normal operation (read/write). The D bit reports whether the device is a MAX6958 or a MAX6959 (read only). The R bit clears all the digit and segment data (data is not stored-transient bit) Scan-Limit Register The scan-limit register sets the number of digits displayed, from one to four (Table 14). A bicolor digit is connected as two monocolor digits. The scan-limit register also limits the number of keys that can be scanned. Since the number of scanned digits affects the display brightness, the scan-limit register should not be used to blank portions of the display (such as leading zero suppression). Intensity Register An internal pulse-width modulator controlled by the intensity register provides digital control of display brightness. The modulator scales the average segment current in 63 steps from a maximum of 63/64 down to 1/64 of the 23mA peak current. The minimum interdigit blanking time is set to 1/64 of a cycle (Figure 11 and Table 15). Table 10.

Global Intensity Register Format MAX6958/MAX6959 2-Wire Interfaced, 3V to 5.5V, 4-Digit, 9-Segment LED Display Drivers with Keyscan Ports and Key Scanning (MAX6959 Only) The MAX6959 features two input ports, INPUT1 and INPUT2. These two ports can be used as general-purpose logic inputs, or configured to perform automatic keyscanning. Both ports have internal pullup resistors enabled in shutdown and normal operation for both general-purpose input mode and keyscanning mode. The ports can be read using the 2-wire interface. The keyscan logic uses one or both of the INPUT1 and INPUT2 logic inputs (Figure 12). An interrupt output that flags key presses is optional. The interrupt flag can be read (polled) through the serial interface instead, allowing IRQ/SEG9 to be used as an open-drain generalpurpose logic output or as a segment driver. One small-signal diode is required per key switch when more than one key is connected to INPUT1 or INPUT2. The diodes prevent two simultaneous key switch depressions from shorting digit drivers together. For example, if KEY0 and KEY1 were pressed together (Figure 12) and the diodes were not fitted, DIG0/SEG0 and DIG1/SEG1 would be shorted together and the LED multiplexing would be incorrect. These diodes can be common-anode dual diodes in SOT23 like BAW56. A diode is not required for a single key connection to INPUT1 or INPUT2. Therefore, up to two key switches can be automatically debounced without adding diodes (Figure 13). Resistors R1 and R2 are required if the MAX6959 is operated with V+ greater than 4V. R1 and R2 are optional if V+ is between 3V and 4V. The keyscanning circuit utilizes the LED’s commoncathode driver outputs as the keyscan drivers. The outputs DIG0/SEG0 to DIG3/SEG3 pulse low for nominally 320µs sequentially as the displays are multiplexed. The actual low time varies from 5µs to 315µs due to pulsewidth modulation from 1/64th to 63/64th for intensity control. The timing diagram (Figure 14) shows the typical situation when all four LED cathode drivers are used. The maximum eight keys can be scanned only if the scan-limit register is set to scan the maximum four digits. If fewer than four digits are driven, then only (2 x n) switches can be scanned, where n is the number of digits (1, 2, 3, or 4) set in the scan-limit register (Table 14). The keyscan cycle loops continuously over time, with all eight keys experiencing a full keyscanning debounce over 41ms (Figure 14). A key press is debounced and an interrupt issued if at least one key that was not pressed in a previous cycle is found pressed during both sampling periods. The keyscan circuit detects any combination of keys pressed during each debounce cycle (n-key rollover). Port Configuration Register (MAX6959 Only) The port configuration register configures INPUT1, INPUT2, and IRQ/SEG9 ports for the MAX6959 (Table 16). IRQ/SEG9 can be set to either an LED segment output (driving four multiplexed LED segments), or an opendrain logic output. The open-drain logic output can be configured as either an IRQ output controlled by the keyscan circuitry, or as a general-purpose logic output controlled through the 2-wire interface.

INPUT1 and INPUT2 can be individually configured as either general-purpose logic inputs or as keyscan inputs. In either mode, the input structure is the same— CMOS logic inputs with internal pullup resistors. The pullups are always enabled, even in shutdown. Ensure these inputs are either close to V+ or open circuit for minimum shutdown supply current. If both INPUT1 and INPUT2 are assigned to keyscan, then eight keys can be debounced. If only INPUT1 or INPUT2 is assigned to keyscan, then only four keys can be debounced. Table 16.

Each bit in the register corresponds to one key switch. The bit is set to 1 if the switch has been correctly debounced since the last key debounced register read operation. Reading the key debounced register clears the register (after the data has been read) so that future key presses can be identified. If the key debounced register is not read, the keyscan data accumulates. There is no FIFO register in the MAX6959. Key-press order, or whether a key has been pressed more than once, cannot be determined unless the key debounced register is read after each interrupt and before completion of the next keyscan cycle. Reading the key debounced register clears the IRQ output. If a key is pressed and held down, the key is reported as debounced (and an IRQ is issued) only once. The key must be detected as released by the keyscanning circuit before it is debounced again. The key debounced register is read only. A write to address 0x08 is ignored. Key Pressed Register (MAX6959 Only) The key pressed register shows which keys have been detected as pressed by the keyscanning circuit during the last test. Each bit in the register corresponds to one key switch. The bit is set if the switch has been detected as pressed by the keyscanning circuit during the last test. The bit is cleared if the switch has not been detected as pressed by the keyscanning circuit during the last test. Reading the key pressed register does not clear either the key pressed register, or the key debounced register, and does not clear the IRQ output. The key pressed register is read only. A write to address 0x0C is ignored. Display Test Register The display test register operates in two modes: normal and display test (Table 19). Display test mode turns on all LEDs by overriding, but not altering, all control and digit registers (including the shutdown register) except for the port configuration register. The duty cycle while in display test mode is 28/64. Applications Information Driving Bicolor LEDs Bicolor digits combine a red and a green die for each display element, so that the element displays red or green (or orange), depending on which die (or both) is lit. The MAX6958/MAX6959 treat a bicolor digit as two monocolor digits. Low-Voltage Operation The MAX6958/MAX6959 are guaranteed to drive a 23mA segment current into 2.4V (or lower) LEDs when operated from a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. Operating the MAX6958/MAX6959 from a supply voltage lower than 4.5V reduces the LED drive current. The drivers drive at least 15.5mA segment current into 2V (or lower) LEDs when operated from a 3V supply voltage. Table 17.
