The MAX6960 EV kit board was carefully designed to
cascade up to five MAX6960 EV kits. Tables 3 through
19 explain the functionality of each jumper when using
only one MAX6960 EV kit and Table 20 shows a sum-
mary of all the default settings. The 5V supply
requires a current capability of 2.5A per MAX6960
EV kit. For example, five cascaded MAX6960 EV kits
require a 5V supply capable of supplying 12.5A. If the
digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings are
changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960 devices,
then the current requirement is cut in half. For example,
one MAX6960 EV kit would require 1.25A and five
MAX6960 EV kits would require 6.25A.

The sections below show the jumper settings for cas-
cading two, three, four, and five MAX6960 EV kit
boards.
Table 21 shows the jumper settings when cascading
two MAX6960 EV kits. The 5V supply requires a current
capability of 5A when cascading two MAX6960 EV kits.
If the digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings are
changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960 devices
for both MAX6960 EV kits, then the current requirement
is 2.5A.
