Working Principles

The MAX692ACSA is a high voltage LED display driver that utilizes a multiplexed architecture. It receives data and clock signals from an external source, such as a microcontroller, and drives the connected LED segments accordingly. The internal oscillator generates the necessary timing signals for multiplexing the display. The blanking input allows for power-saving or multiplexing control by selectively disabling the display.
