MAX6965
9-Output LED Driver with Intensity Control
and Hot-Insertion Protection
General Description

The MAX6965 I2C-compatible serial interfaced periph-
eral provides microprocessors with nine additional out-
put 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. Four of
the bits are global control and apply to all LED outputs
to provide coarse adjustment of current from fully off to
fully on with 14 intensity steps. Additionally each output
then has an individual 4-bit control, which further
divides the globally set current into 16 more steps.
Alternatively, the current control can be configured as a
single 8-bit control that sets all outputs at once.
Each output has independent blink timing with two blink
phases. LEDs can be individually set to be either on or off
during either blink phase, or to ignore the blink control.
The blink period is controlled by an external clock (up to
1kHz) on BLINK or by a register. The BLINK input can also
be used as a logic control to turn the LEDs on and off, or
as a general-purpose input (GPI).
The MAX6965 supports hot insertion. The SDA, SCL,
RST, BLINK, and the slave address input AD0 remain
high impedance in power-down (V+ = 0V) with up to 6V
asserted upon them. The output ports remain high
impedance with up to 8V asserted upon them.
The MAX6965 is controlled through a 2-wire I2C serial
interface, and can be configured to one of four I2C
addresses.

Pin Description
MAX6965
Functional Overview

The MAX6965 is a general-purpose output (GPO)
peripheral that provides nine output ports, O0–O8, con-
trolled through an I2C-compatible serial interface. All out-
puts sink loads up to 50mA connected to external
supplies up to 7V, independent of the MAX6965’s supply
voltage. The MAX6965 is rated for a ground current of
190mA, allowing all nine outputs to sink 20mA at the
same time. Figure 1 shows the output structure of the
MAX6965. The outputs default to logic high (high imped-
ance unless external pullup resistors are used) on
power-up.
Output Control and LED Blinking

The blink phase 0 register sets the output logic levels of
the 8 outputs O0–O7 (Table 6). This register controls
the port outputs if the blink function is disabled. A dupli-
cate register, the Blink Phase 1 register, is also used if
the blink function is enabled (Table 7). In blink mode,
the outputs can be flipped between using the blink
phase 0 register, and the blink phase 1 register using
hardware control (the BLINK input) and/or software
control (the blink flip flag in the configuration register)
(Table 4).
The 9th output, O8, is controlled through 2 bits in the
Configuration register, which provide the same static or
blink control as the other eight outputs (Table 4).
The logic level of the BLINK input may be read back
through the blink status bit in the configuration register
(Table 4). The BLINK input, therefore, may be used as
a general-purpose logic input (GPI port) if the blink
function is not required.
PWM Intensity Control

The MAX6965 includes an internal oscillator, nominally
32kHz, to generate PWM timing for LED intensity con-
trol. PWM intensity control can be enabled on an out-
put-by-output basis, allowing the MAX6965 to provide
any mix of PWM LED drives and glitch-free logic out-
puts (Table 8). PWM can be disabled entirely, in which
case all outputs are static and the MAX6965 operating
current is lowest because the internal oscillator is
turned off.
PWM intensity control uses a 4-bit master control and 4
bits of individual control per output (Tables 11 and 12).
The 4-bit master control provides 16 levels of overall
intensity control, which applies to all PWM-enabled out-
puts. The master control sets the maximum pulse width
from 1/15 to 15/15 of the PWM time period. The individ-
ual settings comprise a 4-bit number, further reducing
the duty cycle to be from 1/16 to 15/16 of the time win-
dow set by the master control.
For applications requiring the same PWM setting for all
output ports, a single global PWM control can be used
instead of all the individual controls to simplify the con-
trol software and provide 240 steps of intensity control
(Tables 8 and 11).

User RAMThe MAX6965 includes a register byte, which is avail-
able as general-user RAM (Table 2). This byte is reset
to the value 0xFF on power-up and when the RSTinput
is taken low (Table 3).
Standby Mode

When the serial interface is idle and the PWM intensity
control is unused, the MAX6965 automatically enters
standby mode. If the PWM intensity control is used, the
operating current is slightly higher because the internal
PWM oscillator is running. When the serial interface is
active, the operating current also increases because
the MAX6965, like all I2C slaves, has to monitor every
transmission.
Serial Interface
Serial Addressing

The MAX6965 operates as a slave that sends and
receives data through an I2C-compatible 2-wire inter-
face. The interface uses a serial data line (SDA) and a
serial clock line (SCL) to achieve bidirectional commu-
nication between master(s) and slave(s). A master (typ-
ically a microcontroller) initiates all data transfers to and
from the MAX6965 and generates the SCL clock that
synchronizes the data transfer (Figure 2).
The MAX6965 SDA line operates as both an input and
an open-drain output. A pullup resistor, typically 4.7kΩ,
is required on SDA. The MAX6965 SCL line operates
only as an input. A pullup resistor, typically 4.7kΩ, is
required on SCL if there are multiple masters on the 2-
wire interface, or if the master in a single-master system
has an open-drain SCL output.
Each transmission consists of a START condition
(Figure 3) sent by a master, followed by the MAX6965
7-bit slave address plus R/Wbit, a register address
byte, one or more data bytes, and finally a STOP condi-
tion (Figure 3).
Start and Stop Conditions

Both SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is
not busy. A master signals the beginning of a transmis-
sion with a START (S) condition by transitioning SDA
from high to low while SCL is high. When the master
has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a
STOP (P) condition by transitioning SDA from low to
high while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another
transmission (Figure 3).
Bit Transfer

One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse.
The data on SDA must remain stable while SCL is high
(Figure 4).
Acknowledge

The acknowledge bit is a clocked 9th bit that the recipi-
ent uses to handshake receipt of each byte of data
(Figure 5). Thus, each byte transferred effectively
requires 9 bits. The master generates the 9th clock
pulse, and the recipient pulls down SDA during the
acknowledge clock pulse so the SDA line is stable low

during the high period of the clock pulse. When the
master is transmitting to the MAX6965, the device gen-
erates the acknowledge bit because the MAX6965 is
the recipient. When the MAX6965 is transmitting to the
master, the master generates the acknowledge bit
because the master is the recipient.
Slave Address

The MAX6965 has a 7-bit long slave address (Figure 6).
The eighth bit following the 7-bit slave address is the
R/Wbit. The R/Wbit is low for a write command, high
for a read command.
The second (A5), third (A4), fourth (A3), sixth (A1), and
last (A0) bits of the MAX6965 slave address are always
1, 0, 0, 0, and 0. Slave address bits A6 and A2 are
selected by the address input AD0. AD0 can be con-
nected to GND, V+, SDA, or SCL. The MAX6965 has
four possible slave addresses (Table 1), and therefore
a maximum of four MAX6965 devices can be controlled
independently from the same interface.
Message Format for Writing the MAX6965

A write to the MAX6965 comprises the transmission of
the MAX6965’s slave address with the R/Wbit set to
zero, followed by at least 1 byte of information. The first
byte of information is the command byte. The command
byte determines which register of the MAX6965 is to be
written to by the next byte, if received (Table 2). If a
STOP condition is detected after the command byte is
received, then the MAX6965 takes no further action
beyond storing the command byte.
Any bytes received after the command byte are data
bytes. The first data byte goes into the internal register of
the MAX6965 selected by the command byte (Figure 8).
If multiple data bytes are transmitted before a STOP con-
dition is detected, these bytes are generally stored in
subsequent MAX6965 internal registers because the
command byte address autoincrements (Table 2). A
diagram of a write to the output ports registers (blink
phase 0 register or blink phase 1 register) is given in
Figure 10.

Message Format for Reading
The MAX6965 is read using the MAX6965’s internally
stored command byte as an address pointer the same
way the stored command byte is used as an address
pointer for a write. The pointer autoincrements after
each data byte is read using the same rules as for a
write (Table 2). Thus, a read is initiated by first configur-
ing the MAX6965’s command byte by performing a
write (Figure 7). The master can now read n consecu-
tive bytes from the MAX6965 with the first data byte
being read from the register addressed by the initial-
ized command byte. When performing read-after-write
verification, remember to reset the command byte’s
address because the stored command byte address
has been autoincremented after the write (Table 2).

Operation with Multiple Masters

If the MAX6965is operated on a 2-wire interface with
multiple masters, a master reading the MAX6965should
use a repeated start between the write, which sets the
MAX6965’s address pointer, and the read(s) that takes
the data from the location(s) (Table 2). This is because it
is possible for master 2 to take over the bus after master
1 has set up the MAX6965’s address pointer but before
master 1 has read the data. If master 2 subsequently
changes the MAX6965’s address pointer, then master
1’s delayed read can be from an unexpected location.
Command Address Autoincrementing

The command address stored in the MAX6965 circu-
lates around grouped register functions after each data
byte is written or read (Table 2).
Device Reset

The reset input RSTis an active-low input. When taken
low, RSTclears any transaction to or from the MAX6965
on the serial interface and configures the internal regis-
ters to the same state as a power-up reset (Table 3).
The MAX6965 then waits for a START condition on the
serial interface.
Detailed Description
Initial Power-Up

On power-up, and whenever the RSTinput is pulled
low, all control registers are reset and the MAX6965
enters standby mode (Table 3). Power-up status makes
all outputs logic high (high impedance if external pullup
resistors are not fitted) and disables both the PWM
oscillator and blink functionality. The RSTinput can be
used as a hardware shutdown input, which effectively
turns off any LED (or other) loads and puts the device
into its lowest power condition.
Configuration Register

The configuration register is used to configure the PWM
intensity mode and blink behavior, operate the O8 out-
put, and read back the BLINK input logic level (Table 4).
Blink Mode

In blink mode, the outputs can be flipped between
using either the blink phase 0 register or the blink
phase 1 register. Flip control is both hardware (the
BLINK input) and software control (the blink flip flag B
in the configuration register) (Table 4).
The blink function can be used for LED effects by pro-
gramming different display patterns in the two sets of
output port registers, and using the software or hard-
ware controls to flip between the patterns.
If the blink phase 1 register is written with 0xFF, then
the BLINK input can be used as a hardware disable to,
for example, instantly turn off an LED pattern pro-
grammed into the blink phase 0 register. This tech-
nique can be further extended by driving the BLINK
input with a PWM signal to modulate the LED current to
provide fading effects.
The blink mode is enabled by setting the blink enable
flag E in the configuration register (Table 4). When blink
mode is enabled, the state of the blink flip flag and
BLINK input are EXOR’ed to set the phase, and the out-
puts are set by either the blink phase 0 registers or the
blink phase 1 registers (Figure 11, Table 5).
The blink mode is disabled by clearing the blink enable
flag E in the configuration register (Table 4). When blink
mode is disabled, the state of the blink flip flag is
ignored, and the blink phase 0 registers alone control
the outputs.
The logic status of BLINK is made available as the read-
only blink status flag blink in the configuration register
(Table 4). This flag allows BLINK to be used as an extra
general-purpose input (GPI) in applications not using the
blink function. When BLINK is going to be used as a GPI,
blink mode should be disabled by clearing the blink
enable flag E in the configuration register (Table 4).
Blink Phase Register

When the blink function is disabled, the blink phase
0 register sets the logic levels of the eight outputs
(O0 through O7) (Table 6). A duplicate register called
the blink phase 1 register is also used if the blink func-
tion is enabled (Table 7). A logic high sets the appro-
priate output high impedance, while a logic low makes
the port go low.
Reading a blink phase register reads the value stored
in the register, not the actual port condition. The port
output itself may or may not be at a valid logic level,
depending on the external load connected.
The 9th output, O8, is controlled through 2 bits in the
configuration register, which provide the same static or
blink control as the other eight output ports.
