Saving your microcontroller resources without open timer scan freeing the microcontroller to do more things! Only you need to update the display data, a data transfer!
MAX7219 digital display control module
MAX7219 is an integrated serial input / output common-cathode display driver, which connects the microprocessor 7-segment digital LED display with 8 digits, you can connect a bar graph display or 64 independent LED. On which includes a B-type BCD encoder chip, multi-channel scanning loop, segment word driver, but also an 8 x 8 static RAM for storing each data. Only one external register is used to set the segment current for each LED.
A convenient four-wire serial interface can connect all the general-purpose microprocessor. Each data can be addressed in the update does not need to rewrite all of the display. MAX7219 also allows users to select each data coding or non-coding.
The entire device contains a 150μA low-power shutdown mode, analog and digital brightness control, a scan-limit register allows the user to display 1-8 bit data, there is a LED light all the detection mode.
Only three IO ports to drive eight digital tube! Digital flicker-free display! Support cascade!
PCB plate fixed to the four corners of copper studs, which can effectively prevent a short circuit accident occurs!
Digital tube 0.36 inches four one common cathode LED
This module is compatible with 5V / 3.3V microcontroller (51 / AVR / STM32 .......)
Wiring instructions (in program provides an example, you can access any IO ports, you can modify the port defined in the program):
VCC → 5V
GND → GND
DIN → P00
CS → P01
CLK → P02
NOTES:
1.VCC and GND Do not reversed, it would burn chip
2.51 MCU P0 port need pull-up resistor, if your device does not have pull-up resistor can be connected to other ports data lines
