What this part is and where it fits
The Analog Devices MAX6956AAX+T is an LED display driver IC that communicates over an I²C interface. It drives LED segments or digits directly, with a supply current of 180 µA.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 125°C, this driver handles the thermal swings of an engine bay, a rooftop telecom enclosure, or a factory floor near a hot motor drive. The 36-SSOP package is surface-mount, so it reflows with standard lead-free profiles. ROHS3 compliance means no exemptions for lead in solder — it's ready for current environmental regulations.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
No last-time-buy or obsolescence notice is on record.
