Dissipation example:
I OUT = 50mA, N = 8, DUTY = 1, V OUT = 2V, V+ = 5.25V
P D = (5.25V x 25mA) + (2V x 1 x 50mA x 8) = 0.931W.
Thus, for a 16-pin TSSOP package (T JA = 1 / 0.0213 =

maximum allowed ambient temperature T A is given by:
T J(MAX) = T A + (P D x T JA ) = +150°C = T A + (0.931 x

so T A = +106.3°C.

Applications Information
Selecting External Component R SET to Set
LED Output Current
The MAX6970 uses an external resistor R SET to set the
LED current for outputs OUT0 to OUT7. The minimum
allowed value of R SET is 327.3 Ω , which sets the output
currents up to 55mA. The reference value, 360 Ω , sets
the output currents to 50mA. To set a different output
current, use the formula:
R SET = 18,000 / I OUT
where I OUT is the desired output current in mA.
Computing Power Dissipation
The upper limit for power dissipation (P D ) for the
MAX6970 is determined from the following equation:
P D = (V+ x I+) + (V OUT x DUTY x I OUT x N)
where:
V+ = supply voltage
I+ = operating supply current when sinking I OUT LED
drive current into N outputs
DUTY = PWM duty cycle applied to OE
Overtemperature Cutoff
The MAX6970 contains an internal temperature sensor
that turns off all outputs when the die temperature
exceeds approximately +165°C. The outputs are re-
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 MAX6970 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 MAX6970 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 four to 16 MAX6970s.
The necessary capacitance depends on the LED load
current, PWM switching frequency, and serial-interface
speed. Inadequate V+ decoupling can cause timing
problems, and very noisy LED supplies can affect LED
current regulation.
