MAX7219/MAX7221
Serially Interfaced, 8-Digit LED Display Drivers
General Description
The MAX7219/MAX7221 are compact, serial input/out-
put common-cathode display drivers that interface
microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED dis-
plays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, or 64 indi-
vidual LEDs. Included on-chip are a BCD code-B
decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and digit
drivers, and an 8x8 static RAM that stores each digit.
Only one external resistor is required to set the seg-
ment current for all LEDs. The MAX7221 is compatible
with SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™, and has slew-
rate-limited segment drivers to reduce EMI.
A convenient 4-wire serial interface connects to all
common µPs. Individual digits may be addressed and
updated without rewriting the entire display. The
MAX7219/MAX7221 also allow the user to select code-
B decoding or no-decode for each digit.
The devices include a 150µA low-power shutdown
mode, analog and digital brightness control, a scan-
limit register that allows the user to display from 1 to 8
digits, and a test mode that forces all LEDs on.
For applications requiring 3V operation or segment
blinking, refer to the MAX6951 data sheet.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

FUNCTION
Serial-Data Input. Data is loaded into the internal 16-bit shift register on CLK’s rising edge.
Eight-Digit Drive Lines that sink current from the display common cathode. The MAX7219 pulls
the digit outputs to V+ when turned off. The MAX7221’s digit drivers are high-impedance when
turned off.
Ground (both GND pins must be connected)
Load-Data Input. The last 16 bits of serial data are latched on LOAD’s rising edge.
Chip-Select Input. Serial data is loaded into the shift register while
CS
is low. The last 16 bits of
serial data are latched on
CS’s
rising edge.
Serial-Clock Input. 10MHz maximum rate. On CLK’s rising edge, data is shifted into the inter-
nal shift register. On CLK’s falling edge, data is clocked out of DOUT. On the MAX7221, the
CLK input is active only while
CS
is low.
Seven Segment Drives and Decimal Point Drive that source current to the display. On the
MAX7219, when a segment driver is turned off it is pulled to GND. The MAX7221 segment dri-
vers are high-impedance when turned off.
Connect to V
DD
through a resistor (R
SET
) to set the peak segment current (Refer to
Selecting
R
SET
Resistor and Using External Drivers
section).
Positive Supply Voltage. Connect to +5V.
Serial-Data Output. The data into DIN is valid at DOUT 16.5 clock cycles later. This pin is used
to daisy-chain several MAX7219/MAX7221’s and is never high-impedance.
