AS1100
Serially Interfaced, 8-Digit LED Driver
Data Sheet
1 General Description
The AS1100 is an LED driver for 7 segment numeric
displays of up to 8 digits. The AS1100 can be
programmed via a conventional 4 wire serial interface.
The device includes a BCD code-B decoder, a multiplex
scan circuitry, segment and display drivers, and a 64 Bit
memory. The memory is used to store the LED settings,
so that continuous reprogramming is not necessary.
Every individual segment can be addressed and
updated separately. Only one external resistor is
required to set the current through the LED display.
Brightness can be controlled either in an analog or
digital way. The user can choose the internal code-B
decoder to display numeric digits or to address each
segment directly.
The AS1100 features an extremely low shutdown
current of only 20µA and an operational current of less
than 500µA. The number of visible digits can be
programmed as well. The AS1100 can be reset by
software and an external clock can be used. Several test
modes support easy debugging.
The AS1100 is offered in a 24-pin DIP and SOIC
packages.
