#185599 - Don't think anyone would want 1:35 degenerate "multiplexing" Responding to: ???'s previous message |

Multiplexing 5 digits with a total 26mA for P0 means that "88888" will be an average 0.74mA per segment. i.e. 35 segments on. Hold on to your hat. Very few people would go for an extreme 35-to-one multiplexing. For such an extreme multiplexing, it's best to just consume 35 processor pins in the first place - oops zero multiplexing needed. You either multiplex a digit at a time - that would mean 1:5 multiplexing for this five-digit design. Or you multiplex one segment at a time. So 1:7 or 1:8 depending on your need to involve the dot too. |
