Key Featrues
Eight Constant-Current LED Outputs Rated at 36V: The device provides eight independent, high-voltage outputs capable of driving LEDs with consistent current, ensuring uniform brightness and reliability in applications such as architectural lighting and gaming features.
Output Current Programmed by Single Resistor: The ability to set the output current using a single external resistor simplifies design and calibration, reducing component count and improving system efficiency, especially in large-scale LED installations like variable message signs.
3% Current Matching Between Outputs: Tight current matching ensures uniform brightness across all connected LEDs, enhancing visual consistency and performance in applications like point-of-order signs and marquee displays.
Wide Operating Temperature Range (-40°C to +125°C): The device's ability to operate reliably across a broad temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments, such as outdoor traffic signs and architectural lighting in extreme climates.
Applications
Gaming Feature Illumination: The MAX6970 is perfect for enhancing gaming environments by driving LED lighting in arcade machines, slot machines, and gaming consoles. Its 55mA output current and 4-wire serial interface allow for easy integration and control of vibrant lighting effects, improving the visual appeal and user experience in gaming applications.
Traffic Sign Illumination: The MAX6970 is well-suited for powering LED arrays in traffic signs and signals. Its robust design, with a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), ensures reliable performance in outdoor environments, while its constant-current outputs provide consistent brightness for improved visibility and safety on roads.
Variable Message Sign Displays: The MAX6970 is ideal for driving LEDs in variable message signs (VMS) used in transportation and advertising. Its 8-channel output and 36V capability enable efficient control of large LED arrays, ensuring clear and bright displays for conveying real-time information, such as traffic updates or promotional messages, in public spaces.
