What the MAX6958BAPE drives and where it fits
The MAX6958BAPE is a 9-segment LED display driver from Analog Devices, designed to control up to nine individual LED segments or digits in numeric or alphanumeric displays. The part ships in Bulk packaging, which typically means tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel — a detail to confirm with the supplier when quoting the BOM quantity.
Compliance and sourcing reality
The MAX6958BAPE is marked RoHS non-compliant, so it does not meet the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Designs requiring RoHS exemption or legacy Pb-containing solder processes should verify acceptance before specifying.
