The digit registers and segments register use 1 bit to
set the state of one segment. Each bit is high to turn a
segment on, or low to turn it off (Table 6).
The decode-mode register sets hexadecimal code
(0–9, A–F) or no-decode operation for each digit. Each
bit in the register corresponds to one digit. Logic high
selects hexadecimal decoding while logic low bypass-
es the decoder. Digits can be set for decode or no
decode in any combination. Bit assignment and exam-
ples of the decode mode control register format are
shown in Table 7.

In hexadecimal code-decode mode, the decoder looks
only at the lower nibble of the data in the digit register
(D3–D0), disregarding bits D7–D4. Table 7 lists the hexa-
decimal code font. When no decode is selected, data
bits D7–D0 correspond to the segment lines of the
MAX6958/MAX6959. Table 8 shows the one-to-one pair-
ing of each data bit to the appropriate segment line.
On initial power-up, all control registers are reset, the
display is blanked, and the MAX6958/MAX6959 enter
shutdown mode (Table 9). At power-up, the MAX6958/
MAX6959 are initially set to scan four digits, do not
decode data in the digit registers or scan key switches
(MAX6959 only), and the intensity register is set to a
low value (4/64 intensity).
