9 / 12 page Applications Information Selecting External Component RSET to Set LED Output Current The MAX6971 uses an external resistor, RSET, to set the LED current for outputs OUT0–OUT15. The minimum allowed value of RSET is 327.3 Ω, which sets the output currents to 55mA. The maximum allowed value of RSET is 5k Ω. The reference value, 360Ω, sets the output cur- rents to 50mA. To set a different output current, use the formula: RSET = 18,000 / IOUT where IOUT is the desired output current in mA. Computing Power Dissipation The upper limit for power dissipation (PD) for the MAX6971 is determined by the following equation: PD = (V+ x I+) + (VOUT x DUTY x IOUT x N) where: V+ = supply voltage I+ = operating supply current when sinking IOUT LED drive current into N outputs DUTY = PWM duty cycle applied to OE N = number of MAX6971 outputs driving LEDs at the same time (maximum is 16) VOUT = MAX6971 port output voltage when driving load LED(s) IOUT = LED drive current programmed by RSET PD = power dissipation, in mW if currents are in mA Dissipation example: IOUT = 20mA, N = 16, DUTY = 1, VOUT = 2V, V+ = 5.25V PD = (5.25V x 25mA) + (2V x 1 x 20mA x 16) = 0.77W Thus, for a 24-pin TSSOP package (TJA = 1 / 0.0122 = +82°C/W from the Absolute Maximum Ratings), the maximum allowed ambient temperature TA is given by: TJ(MAX) = TA + (PD x TJA) = +150°C = TA + (0.77 x 82°C/W) so TA = +86°C. Overtemperature Cutoff The MAX6971 contains an internal temperature sensor that turns off all outputs when the die temperature exceeds approximately +165°C. The outputs are enabled again when the die temperature drops below approximately +140°C. Register contents are not affected, so when a driver is overdissipating, the exter- nal symptom is the load LEDs cycling between on and off as the driver repeatedly overheats and cools, alter- nately turning the LEDs off and then back on again. Power-Supply Considerations The MAX6971 operates with a chip supply V+, and one or more LED supplies. Bypass each supply to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to the MAX6971 as pos- sible. This is normally adequate for static LED driving. For multiplex or PWM applications, it is necessary to add an additional bulk electrolytic capacitor of 4.7µF or more to each supply for every 4 to 16 MAX6971s. The necessary capacitance depends on the LED load cur- rent, PWM switching frequency, and serial-interface speed. Inadequate V+ decoupling can cause timing problems, and very noisy LED supplies can affect LED current regulation.
