10-channel linear driver for backlight arrays
The MAX6966AEE+T is a linear LED driver from Analog Devices, delivering 10 independent constant-current outputs at 20 mA each. Its linear topology means no switching noise on the LED supply rail — a practical advantage when the driver shares a board with sensitive analog sensors or RF stages.
Supply range and output compliance
This means the forward voltage of the LED string must stay below 7 V minus the driver's headroom — typical for two-series white LEDs or a single high-Vf red LED at 20 mA.
Active lifecycle and compliance documentation
For a surplus-lot buyer, a sealed reel with consistent date-codes is the preferred form factor; we can confirm the date-code spread at quote time.
