simplify access to displays that overlap two MAX6956s,
the MAX6956 provides four virtual ports, P0 through P3.
To update an overlapping digit, send the same code
twice as an eight-port write, once to P28 through P35 of
the first driver, and again to P0 through P7 of the sec-
ond driver. The first driver ignores the last 4 bits and
the second driver ignores the first 4 bits.
Two addressing methods are available. Any single port
(bit) can be written (set/cleared) at once; or, any
sequence of eight ports can be written (set/cleared) in
any combination at once. There are no boundaries; it is
equally acceptable to write P0 through P7, P1 through
P8, or P31 through P38 (P32 through P38 are nonexis-
tent, so the instructions to these bits are ignored).
Using 8-bit control, a seven-segment digit with a deci-
mal point can be updated in a single byte-write, a 14-
2-Wire-Interfaced, 2.5V to 5.5V, 20-Port or
28-Port LED Display Driver and I/O Expander

Table 2. Port Configuration Matrix
Note: The logic is inverted between the two output modes; a high makes the output go low in LED segment driver mode (0x00) to
turn that segment on; in GPIO output mode (0x01), a high makes the output go high.

PIN BEHAVIOR
segment digit with DP can be updated in two byte-
writes, and 16-segment digits with DP can be updated
in two byte-writes plus a bit write. Also, discrete LEDs
and GPIO port bits can be lit and controlled individually
without affecting other ports.
When the MAX6956 is in shutdown mode, all ports are
forced to inputs (which an be read), and the pullup cur-
rent sources are turned off. Data in the port and control
registers remain unaltered, so port configuration and
output levels are restored when the MAX6956 is taken
out of shutdown. The display driver can still be pro-
grammed while in shutdown mode. For minimum sup-
ply current in shutdown mode, logic inputs should be at
GND or V+ potential. Shutdown mode is exited by set-
ting the S bit in the configuration register (Table 8).
