Create 16x16 LED Displays with Flexible Reference Design
2016-06-08 | ReturnSan Jose, CA—June 8, 2016—Hobbyists and makers now have more flexibility and options when developing LED signs, using the MAXREFDES99# 16x16 display reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).
。More information about MAXREFDES99# ›
。MAXREFDES99# image ›
LEDs continue to dramatically transform signage and lighting. However, often LED displays today are 8x8 and cannot communicate many international alpha-numeric characters. MAXREFDES99# integrates four MAX7219 LED drivers to provide designers a 16x16 display with 256 LEDs, allowing them to create signs in multiple languages. The MAX7219 driver simplifies the process of controlling multiple LEDs in matrix or numeric display form. For fast prototyping, software code developed for the MAXREFDES99# reference design works with both ARM mbed and Arduino platforms. Developers are encouraged to build upon and enhance the code base for more signage possibilities.
Key Advantages
。Flexible: Provides 16x16 dot matrix display for signs in multiple languages
。Reliable: Integrates time-tested MAX7219 LED drivers for long-life signage
。Easy to Use: Compatible with Arduino and ARM mbed platforms for quick prototyping
Commentary
"16x16 displays are becoming more common building blocks and are the future of LED signage," said David Andeen, Director of Reference Designs at Maxim Integrated. "With this new reference design and readily available code, sign developers and makers can immediately start displaying their LED creations."
Availability and Pricing
。The MAXREFDES99# reference design is available for $49 at Maxim's website and select franchised distributors. Hardware and firmware design files, as well as test data, are provided free and available online.
