A S 110 5
Serially Interfaced, 4-Digit LED Driver
1 General Description
The AS1105 is an LED driver for 7-segment numeric displays of up
to 4 digits. The AS1105 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 32-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 AS1105 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 AS1105 can be reset by software and an external clock can be
used. Several test modes support easy debugging.
AS1105 is offered in a 20-pin SOIC package.

Description
Serial data output for cascading drivers.
The output is valid after 16.5 clock cycles. The output is
never set to high impedance.
Data input.
Data is programmed into the 16-bit shift register on the rising CLK edge.
4-digit driver lines that sink the current from the common cathode of the display. In shutdown mode
the AS1105 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 I
SET
determines the peak current through the segments and therefore the
brightness.
