MAX6969
16-Port, 5.5V Constant-Current LED Driver
8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
CLK is the serial-clock input, which shifts data at DIN
into the MAX6969 16-bit shift register on its rising edge.
LE is the latch load input of the MAX6969 that transfers
data from the MAX6969 16-bit shift register to its 16-bit
latch when LE is high (transparent latch), and latches
the data on the falling edge of LE (Figure 2).
The fourth input provides output-enable control of the
output drivers. OE is high to force outputs
OUT0–OUT15 high impedance, without altering the
contents of the output latches, and low to enable out-
puts OUT0–OUT15 to follow the state of the output
latches.
OE is independent of the operation of the serial inter-
face. Data can be shifted into the serial-interface shift
register and latched, regardless of the state of OE.
DOUT is the serial-data output, which shifts data out
from the MAX6969’s 16-bit shift register on the rising
edge of CLK. Data at DIN is propagated through the
shift register and appears at DOUT 16 clock cycles later.
