Product details

What this part is and where it fits

The Maxim Integrated MAX6970AUE+ is a linear LED driver with eight constant-current sink outputs, each rated for 55mA. It uses a shift register topology for serial data input, making it straightforward to daisy-chain multiple drivers for signage or lighting arrays. The 36V output compliance allows strings of several LEDs in series per channel, and the exposed pad on the 16-TSSOP package helps pull heat out into the board copper.

Sourcing and lifecycle

This part is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice is on record.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX6970AUE+ obsolete or EOL?

No, the MAX6970AUE+ is listed as Active with no end-of-life notice. It is suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

What is the difference between MAX6970AUE+ and MAX6970AUE?

The MAX6970AUE+ is the ROHS3-compliant version of the MAX6970AUE. Electrically and pin-compatible; the '+' suffix indicates lead-free / RoHS compliance.

Can MAX6970AUE+ be used for RGB LED control?

Yes, because each of the eight outputs is independently controlled via the shift register. You can assign three outputs per RGB LED (one per color) and use the remaining two for additional channels or spare.
