10-Port Constant-Current LED Drivers and I/O
Expanders with PWM Intensity Control
The global current register sets the full (maximum) con-
stant current sunk into an I/O port
put port’s individual constant-current sink can be set to
be either half or full global current by the output current
registers (Table 7). By default, maximum current is
20mA, so the default half current is 10mA.
The MAX6966/MAX6967 provide automatic controls
that allow the currents’ outputs to be ramped down into
automatic shutdown (ramp-down), and ramped up
again out of shutdown (ramp-up) without further inter-
action (Figures 4 and 5). Ramp-down comprises a pro-
grammable hold-off delay, which also maintains the
outputs at full current for a time before the programmed
