mode, data is written to the display memory using indi-

rection through the global display indirect address regis-

ter. This display indirect address is autoincremented

after each 8-bit write to allow continuous image data

dumps into the plane of display memory in the MAX6960.

The 16-bit address mode is capable of reading or writ-

ing command/data bytes to the MAX6960’s registers. A

16-bit write can be global (updates all MAX6960s with

the same data) or local (only one MAX6960). A 16-bit

read always uses indirection through the global driver

indirect address register to select only one MAX6960.

Refer to the Register Addressing Modes section of the

MAX6960 data sheet for additional information.

The 24-bit addr modes (1 bit/pixel) tab shown in

Figure 2, and the 24-bit addr modes (2 bit/pixel) tab

shown in Figure 3, allow the user to execute 24-bit

address mode operations. A 24-bit operation is always

a direct read or write of address/data to the MAX6960’s

display memory because the memory address is

included in the 24-bit operation. Refer to the Register

Addressing Modes section of the MAX6960 data sheet

for additional information.
