Driving LEDs
The MG9077 can drive LEDs directly, without the use of an external buffer amplifier. In this case, up to 16 LEDs can be driven directly. This is due to the limitation in IO-pins to 16. Since up to 8 drive and 3 LEDs per slot could be needed, the MG9077 can also use external buffers to drive up to 4 LEDs for each of the 8 slots, which means that 32 LEDs could be driven to represent a particular state.

Famous quotes containing the word driving:
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a weeks newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
