MAX7219CWG+

Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated · Digital Tube Drivers · SOIC-24-300mil

MAX7219CWG+ from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, in a SOIC-24-300mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 DIN input Serial-Data Input; data loaded into the internal 16-bit shift register on CLK's rising edge.
2 DIG 0 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
3 DIG 1 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
4 GND power_in Ground; both GND pins (4 and 9) must be connected.
5 DIG 2 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
6 DIG 3 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
7 DIG 4 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
8 DIG 5 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
9 GND power_in Ground; both GND pins (4 and 9) must be connected.
10 DIG 6 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
11 DIG 7 output Eight-digit drive line that sinks current from the display common cathode; MAX7219 pulls output to V+ when turned off.
12 LOAD input Load-Data Input; the last 16 bits of serial data are latched on LOAD's rising edge.
13 CLK input Serial-Clock Input, 10MHz maximum rate; data shifted into shift register on rising edge, clocked out DOUT on falling edge.
14 SEG A output Segment A drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
15 SEG F output Segment F drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
16 SEG B output Segment B drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
17 SEG G output Segment G drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
18 ISET passive Connect to V+ through resistor RSET to set the peak segment current (minimum RSET value 9.53kΩ, current nominally 100× ISET).
19 V+ power_in Positive Supply Voltage; connect to +5V, operating range 4.0 to 5.5V.
20 SEG E output Segment E drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
21 SEG C output Segment C drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
22 SEG DP output Decimal Point drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
23 SEG D output Segment D drive that sources current to the display; when segment driver is turned off, pulled to GND.
24 DOUT output Serial-Data Output; data from DIN is valid at DOUT 16.5 clock cycles later, used to daisy-chain devices, never high-impedance.
