AS1117
64 LED Driver for Mobile Applications with Error Detection
1 General Description
The AS1117 is a compact LED driver for 64 single LEDs
or 8 digits of 7-segments. The devices can be pro-
grammed via an I²C compatible 2-wire interface. Every
segment can be individually addressed and updated
separately. Only one external resistor (R
SET
) is required
to set the current. LED brightness can be controlled by
analog or digital means.
The devices include an integrated BCD code-B/HEX
decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and display
drivers, and a 64-bit memory. Internal memory stores
the shift register settings, eliminating the need for contin-
uous device reprogramming.

Additionally the AS1117 offers a detailed error diagnostic
mode for easy and fast production testing in critical
applications. The AS1117 features a low shutdown cur-
rent of typically 200nA, and an operational current of
typically 350µA. The number of digits can be pro-
grammed, the devices can be reset by software, and an
external clock is also supported.
The device is available in a TQFN(4x4)-24 package.

Description
Serial-Data I/O.
Open drain digital I/O I²C data pin.
Digit Drive Lines.
Eight digit drive lines that sink current from the display
common cathode. Keyscan detection optional, but must be polled by the
µProzessor.
Ground.
Keyscan Input.
Keyscan lines for key readback. Can be used for self-adressing.
Reset Input.
Pull this pin to low to resest all registers (set to default values) and
to put the device into shutdown. Connect this pin via a pull-up resistor to V
DD
for
normal operation.
Set Segment Current.
Connect to V
DD
or a reference voltage through R
SET
to
set the peak segment current (see
Selecting RSET Resistor Value and Using
External Drivers on page 19).
Serial-Clock Input.
3.4MHz maximum rate.
Interupt Request Output.
Open drain pin.
Seven Segment and Decimal Point Drive Lines.
8 seven-segment drives and
decimal point drive that source current to the display.
Positive Supply Voltage.
Connect to +2.7V to +5.5V supply. Bypass this pin to
GND with a 0.1µF capacitor to avoid power supply ripple.
Exposed Pad.
This pin also functions as a heat sink. Solder it to a large pad or to
the circuit-board ground plane to maximize power dissipation.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 3
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only,
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
Section 6 Electrical
Characteristics on page 4
is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
