It integrates the constant-current sinks and multiplexing logic, so you don't need external shift registers or discrete current-setting resistors for each segment. The 180 µA typical supply current keeps the power budget low even when driving multiple digits, and the 2.5V to 5.5V supply range lets it run from a single lithium cell or a 3.3V/5V rail. ## Why the –40°C to 125°C range matters for your BOM Rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C, this driver fits industrial control panels, outdoor signage, and under-hood automotive displays where the ambient temperature swings wide. The 40-TQFN (6x6) package with exposed pad helps pull heat away from the die when driving high segment currents at elevated temperatures — make sure your PCB layout includes thermal vias under the pad to keep junction temperature within limits. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — still in active production The MAX6957ATL+T carries an active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant.","metaTitle":"MAX6957ATL+T LED Driver, 4-Wire Serial, 40-TQFN, Active","metaDescription":"MAX6957ATL+T LED display driver IC by Analog Devices.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["DC-DC Power Modules"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Interface":"4-Wire Serial","Display Type":"LED","Configuration":"7, 16, 20 Segment","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"40-WFQFN Exposed Pad","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Supply":"180 µA","Voltage - Supply":"2.5V ~ 5.5V","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C","Supplier Device Package":"40-TQFN (6x6)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$13.24","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$13.24000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$12.16400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$11.65960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$10.27290","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$9.76872","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$9.13848","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$8.38219","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$8.06707","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX6957.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does the MAX6957ATL+T require external components like resistors?","answer":"The MAX6957ATL+T integrates constant-current sinks, so it does not need external current-setting resistors for each segment. A single external resistor sets the global current level for all segments.
