Product details

4-digit 7-segment LED driver with SMBus control

The Analog Devices MAX6958AAEE+ is a 4-digit 7-segment LED display driver with two additional annunciator outputs, controlled over an SMBus (2-Wire/I²C) interface. It drives common-cathode LED displays directly, handling the multiplexing and constant-current sinking internally. The supply range of 3V to 5.5V lets it work on both 3.3V and 5V logic rails, and the -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range suits industrial enclosures, outdoor panels, and under-hood automotive displays.

SMBus interface and supply flexibility

The SMBus interface reduces pin count to just two wires (SCL, SDA) for brightness control, digit mapping, and test-mode commands — no parallel bus or shift-register overhead. The wide supply voltage means the same BOM works across a 3.3V microcontroller rail or a 5V legacy system without a level translator. Supply current is 5.9 mA typical, which keeps the thermal budget low even in a sealed enclosure.

Package and footprint for layout

Housed in a 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm width) package, with the supplier device package listed as 16-QSOP. The surface-mount footprint is compact enough for dense front-panel PCBs. The Tube shipping medium is typical for this package size — no reel or tray concerns for small-batch builds.

Lifecycle and compliance

Marked as Active in production, with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is indicated, so it remains a safe choice for new designs and production replenishment.

Frequently asked questions

Can MAX6958AAEE+ drive a 4-digit common-cathode LED display?

Yes, it drives 4 digits of 7-segment common-cathode displays plus two annunciator outputs. The multiplexing and current sinking are handled internally, requiring only external current-setting resistors.

Is MAX6958AAEE+ compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes, the supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V includes 3.3V, so it works directly with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifting. The SMBus interface also operates at 3.3V logic levels.
