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
20 A and an operational current of less than 500 A. 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 SOIC package.

Description
Data input.
Data is programmed into the 16Bit shift register on the rising CLK edge
8 digit driver lines that sink the current from the common cathode of the display. In shutdown
mode the AS1100 switches the outputs to V
DD
.
Both GND pins must be connected.
Strobe input.
With the rising edge of the LOAD signal the 16 bit of serial data is latched into
the register.
Clock input.
The interface is capable to support clock frequencies up to 10MHz. The serial
data is clocked into the internal shift register with the rising edge of the CLK signal. On the
DOUT pin the data is applied with the falling edge of CLK.
Seven segment driver lines including the decimal point.
When a segment is turned off the
output is connected to GND.
The current into ISET determines the peak current through the segments and therefore the
brightness.
Positive Supply Voltage
(+5V)
Serial data output for cascading drivers.
The output is valid after 16.5 clock cycles. The
output is never set to high impedance.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 2
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
Electrical Characteristics on page 4
is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
