Description:
MAX7219 is an integrated serial input / output common-cathode display drivers, which connects the microprocessor and 8 bit 7-segment digital LED display, you can also connect a bar graph display or 64 separate LED. Includes an on-chip type B BCD encoders, multi-channel scanning loop, segment word driver, but also a 8x8 static RAM that stores each data. Only one external register is used to set the current of each LED segment.
Features:
0.36 inch
Common cathode
Only need three IO ports can drive 8 bit digital tube
compatible of 5V / 3.3V microcontroller (51 / AVR / STM32...)
PCV board four corners of the fixed copper stud, which can effectively precent short circuit accidents happen
