The scan-limit register sets how many monocolor digits
are displayed, either two or four. A bicolor digit is con-
nected as two monocolor digits.
The multiplexing scheme drives digits 0 and 1 at the
same time, then digits 2 and 3 at the same time. To
increase the effective brightness of the displays, drive
only two digits instead of four. By doing this, the aver-
age segment current doubles, but also doubles the
number of MAX6952s required to drive a given number
of digits.
Because digit 1 is driven at the same time as digit 0
(and digit 3 is driven at the same time as digit 2), only 1
bit is used to set the scan limit. The bit is clear if one or
two digits are to be driven, and set if three or four digits
are to be driven (Table 20). Change the scan-limit
register only when the MAX6952 is in shutdown mode.
Display brightness is controlled digitally by four pulse-
width modulators, one for each display digit. Each digit is
controlled by a nibble of one of the two intensity registers,
Intensity10 and Intensity32. The modulator scales the
average segment current in 16 steps from a maximum of
15/16 down to 1/16 of the peak current. The minimum
interdigit blanking time is, therefore, 1/16 of a cycle. The
maximum duty cycle is 15/16. (Tables 21 and 22).
