MAX6965 9-Output LED Driver with Intensity Control and Hot-Insertion Protection The MAX6965 I²C-compatible serial interfaced peripheral provides microprocessors with nine additional output ports. Each output is an open-drain current-sinking output rated to 50mA at 7V. All outputs are capable of driving LEDs, or providing logic outputs with external resistive pullup up to 7V. Eight-bit PWM current control is also integrated. Each output has independent blink timing with two blink phases. The MAX6965 supports hot insertion. The MAX6965 is controlled through a 2-wire I²C serial interface, and can be configured to one of four I²C addresses.
