The scan-limit register sets how many digits are dis-
played, from 1 to 8. They are displayed in a multiplexed
manner with a typical display scan rate of 800Hz with 8
digits displayed. If fewer digits are displayed, the scan
rate is 8f

the display brightness, the scan-limit register should
not be used to blank portions of the display (such as
leading zero suppression). Table 8 lists the scan-limit
