Switch controller and LED driver — active, proven, RoHS3
The MAX7360EWX+ from Maxim Integrated is a switch controller and LED driver, combining keypad scanning with PWM LED dimming in a single IC.
Package and supply chain reality
Supplied in bulk packaging — no reel or tray commitment, so the per-unit cost scales with the quantity ordered rather than a fixed carrier format. The bulk form also simplifies prototyping and low-volume builds where a cut-tape minimum would overstock the line. Active lifecycle status means the manufacturer continues to fabricate and ship this order code — no last-time-buy window, no end-of-life clock.
