The devices can be programmed via SPI, QSPI, and Microwire as well as a conventional 4-wire serial interface. 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 LED settings, eliminating the need for continuous device reprogramming. Every segment can be individually addressed and updated separately. Only one external resistor (RSET) is required to set the current through the LED display. LED brightness can be controlled by analog or digital means. The devices can be programmed to use the internal code-B/HEX decoder to display numeric digits or to directly address each segment. The AS1106 and the AS1107 feature an extremely low shutdown current of typically 3A, and an operational current of less than 500A. The number of digits can be programmed, the devices can be reset by software, and an external clock is also supported. Additionally, segment blinking can be synchronized across multiple drivers. 3 Applications Several test modes are available for easy application debugging. The devices are available in PDIP 24-pin and SOIC 24-pin packages. The AS1106 and AS1107 are ideal for bar-graph displays, instrument-panel meters, LED matrix displays, dot matrix displays, set-top boxes, white goods, professional audio equipment, medical equipment, industrial controllers and panel meters.

The AS1107 serial interface is fully SPI compatible (programmable for AS1106). 8.2 Serial-Addressing Format Programming the AS1106/AS1107 is done by writing to the device's internal registers (see Digit- and Control-Registers on page 9) via the 4-wire serial interface. A programming sequence consists of 16-bit packages as listed in Table 6. The data is shifted into the internal 16-bit register with the rising edge of the CLK signal. With the rising edge of the LOAD/CSN signal the data is latched into a digit- or control-register. The LOAD/CSN signal must go high after the 16th rising clock edge. The LOAD/CSN signal can also come later but this must happen just before the next rising edge of CLK, otherwise the data will be lost. The contents of the internal shift register are applied 16.5 clock cycles later to pin DOUT. The data is clocked out at the falling edge of CLK. The first 4 bits (D15:D12) are "don't care", bits D11:D8 contain the register address, and bits D7:D0 contain the data. The first bit is D15, the most significant bit (MSB). The exact timing is shown in Figure 12. Table 6. 16-Bit Serial Data Format D15 X D14 X D13 X D12 X D11 D10 D9 D8 Register Address (see Table 7) D7 MSB D6 D5 D4 D3 Data D2 D1 D0 LSB 8.3 Initial Power-Up On initial power-up, the AS1106/AS1107 registers are reset to their default values, the display is blanked, and the device goes into shutdown mode. At this time, all registers should be programmed for normal operation. Note: The default settings enable only scanning of one digit; the internal decoder is disabled and the Intensity Control Register (see page 12) is set to the minimum values. Figure 12.

Shutdown mode is entered via a write to the Shutdown Register (see Table 8). For the AS1106, at that point, all segment current sources are pulled to ground and all digit drivers are connected to VDD, so that all segments are blanked. The AS1107 behavior is identical except the drivers are high impedance. Note: During shutdown mode the Digit-Registers maintain their data. Shutdown mode can either be used as a means to reduce power consumption or for generating a flashing display (repeatedly entering and leaving shutdown mode). For minimum supply current in shutdown mode, logic input should be at GND or VDD (CMOS logic level). The devices need typically 250s to exit shutdown mode, and during shutdown mode the AS1106/AS1107 is fully programmable. Only the display test mode (see page 11) overrides shutdown mode. When entering or leaving shutdown mode, the Feature Register is reset to its default values (all 0s) when Shutdown Register bit D7 (page 10) = 0. 1 Note: If the AS1106/AS1107 is used with an external clock, Shutdown Register bit D7 should be set to 1 when writing to the Shutdown Register. 8.5 Digit- and Control-Registers The AS1106/AS1107 devices contain 8 Digit-Registers and 6 control-registers, which are listed in Table 7. All registers are selected using a 4-bit address word, and communication is done via the serial interface. Digit Registers - These registers are realized with an on-chip 64-bit memory. Each digit can be controlled directly without rewriting the whole register contents. Control Registers - These registers consist of decode mode, display intensity, number of scanned digits, shutdown, display test and features selection registers. Table 7.

BCD/HEX decoding (either BCD code - characters 0:9, E, H, L, P, and -, or HEX code - characters 0:9 and A:F) is selected by bit D2 (page 13) of the Feature Register. The Decode Enable Register is used to select the decode mode or no-decode for each digit. Each bit in the Decode Enable Register corresponds to its respective display digit (i.e., bit D0 corresponds to digit 0, bit D1 corresponds to digit 1 and so on). Table 10 lists some examples of the possible settings for the Decode Enable Register bits. Note: A logic high enables decoding and a logic low bypasses the decoder altogether. When decode mode is used, the decoder looks only at the lower-nibble (bits D3:D0) of the data in the Digit-Registers, disregarding bits D6:D4. Bit D7 sets the decimal point (SEG DP) independent of the decoder and is positive logic (bit D7 = 1 turns the decimal point on). Table 10 lists the code-B font; Table 11 lists the HEX font. When no-decode mode is selected, data bits D7:D0 of the Digit-Registers correspond to the segment lines of the AS1106/AS1107. Table 12 shows the 1:1 pairing of each data bit to the appropriate segment line. Table 9.

In display test mode all LEDs are switched on at maximum brightness (duty cycle is 15/16 (AS1106) or 31/32 (AS1107). The devices remain in display-test mode until the Display-Test Register is set for normal operation. Note: All settings of the digit- and control-registers are maintained. Table 13.

Display brightness is controlled by an integrated pulse-width modulator which is controlled by the lower-nibble of the Intensity Control Register. The modulator scales the average segment-current in 16 steps from a maximum of 31/32 down to 1/32 (15/16 to 1/16 for the AS1107) of the peak current set by RSET. Table 14.

When all 8 digits are to be displayed, the update frequency is typically 800Hz. If the number of digits displayed is reduced, the update frequency is increased. The frequency can be calculated using 8fOSC/N, where N is the number of digits. Since the number of displayed digits influences the brightness, RSET should be adjusted accordingly. Table 16 lists the maximum allowed current when fewer than 4 digits are used. Note: To avoid differences in brightness this register should not be used to blank parts of the display (leading zeros).

Note: At power-up the Feature Register is initialized to 0. Table 17.

Default Access Bit Description External clock active. 0 R/W 0 = Internal oscillator is used for system clock. 1 = Pin CLK of the serial interface operates as system clock input. Resets all control registers except the Feature Register. 0 = Reset Disabled. Normal operation. 1 = All control registers are reset to default state (except the Feature Register) 0 R/W identically after power-up. Note: The Digit Registers maintain their data. Selects display decoding. 0 = Enable Code-B decoding (see Table 10 on page 10). 0 R/W 1 = Enable HEX decoding (see Table 11 on page 11). Enables the SPI-compatible interface. 0 = Disable SPI-compatible interface (AS1106 only). 0 R/W 1 = Enable the SPI-compatible interface (AS1106 only). Note: The SPI-compatible interface is always enabled in the AS1107. Enables blinking. 0 = Disable blinking. 0 R/W 1 = Enable blinking. Sets blink with low frequency (with the internal oscillator enabled): 0 = Blink period typically is 1 second (0.5s on, 0.5s off). 0 R/W 1 = Blink period is 2 seconds (1s on, 1s off). Synchronizes blinking on the rising edge of pin LOAD/CSN. The multiplex and blink timing counter is cleared on the rising edge of pin LOAD/CSN. By setting this bit in 0 R/W multiple AS1106/AS1107 devices, the blink timing can be synchronized across all the devices. Start Blinking with display enabled phase. When bit D4 (blink_en) is set, bit D7 determines how blinking starts. 0 R/W 0 = Blinking starts with the display turned off. 1 = Blinking starts with the display turned on. No-Op Register (0xX0) The No-Op Register is used when multiple AS1106 or AS1107 devices are cascaded in order to support displays with more than 8 digits. The cascading must be done in such a way that all DOUT pins are connected to DIN of the next AS1106/AS1107 (see Figure 14 on page 16). The LOAD/CSN and CLK signals are connected to all devices. For example, if five devices are cascaded, in order to perform a write operation to the fifth device, the write-command must be followed by four no-operation commands. When the LOAD/CSN signal goes high, all shift registers are latched. The first four devices will receive no-operation commands and only the fifth device will receive the intended operation command, and subsequently update its register. www.austriamicrosystems.com/LED-Driver-ICs/AS1106_07 Revision 2.28 13 - 21 AS1106, AS1107 Datasheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n 9 Application Information 9.1 Supply Bypassing and Wiring In order to achieve optimal performance the AS1106/AS1107 should be placed very close to the LED display to minimize effects of electromagnetic interference and wiring inductance. Furthermore, it is recommended to connect a 10F electrolytic and a 0.1F ceramic capacitor between pins VDD and GND to avoid power supply ripple (see Figure 14 on page 16). Note: Both GND pins must be connected to ground. 9.2 Selecting RSET Resistor Value and Using External Drivers Brightness of the display segments is controlled via RSET. The current that flows between VDD and ISET defines the current that flows through the LEDs. Segment current is about 200 times the current in ISET. Typical values for RSET for different segment currents, operating voltages, and LED voltage drop (VLED) are given in Tables 19 - 23. The maximum current the AS1106/AS1107 devices can drive is 40mA. If higher currents are needed, external drivers must be used, in which case it is no longer necessary that the devices drive high currents. In cases where the devices only drive a few digits, Table 16 specifies the maximum currents, and RSET must be set accordingly. Note: The display brightness can also be logically controlled (see Intensity Control Register (0xXA) on page 12). Table 19.

DUTY is the duty cycle set by intensity register (page 12). N is the number of segments driven (worst case is 8) VLED is the LED forward voltage ISEG = segment current set by RSET Dissipation Example: ISEG = 40mA, N = 8, DUTY = 31/32, VLED = 1.8V at 40mA, VDD = 5.25V (EQ 2) PD = 5.25V(1mA) + (5.25V - 1.8V)(31/32 x 40mA x 8) = 1.075W (EQ 3) Thus, for a PDIP package JA = +75C/W (from Table 24), the maximum allowed TAMB is given by: TJ,MAX = TAMB + PD x JA = 150C = TAMB +1.07W x 75C/W (EQ 4) Where: TAMB = +69.4C. The TAMB limit for SO Packages in the dissipation example above is +58.6C. Table 24.

The LED columns have common cathodes and are connected to the DIG0:7 outputs. The rows are connected to the segment drivers. Each of the 64 LEDs can be addressed separately. The columns are selected via the digits as listed in Table 7 on page 9. The Decode Enable Register (see page 10) must be set to `00000000' as described in Table 9 on page 10. Single LEDs in a column can be addressed as described in Table 12 on page 11, where bit D0 corresponds to segment G and bit D7 corresponds to segment DP. Note: For a multiple-digit dot matrix, multiple AS1106 devices must be cascaded. Figure 14.

All Scan-Limit Registers should be set to the same value so that one display will not appear brighter than the other. For example, to display 12 digits, set both Scan-Limit Registers to display 6 digits so that both displays have a 1/6 duty cycle per digit. If 11 digits are needed, set both Scan-Limit Registers to display 6 digits and leave one digit unconnected. Otherwise, if one driver is set to display 6 digits and the other to display 5 digits one display will appear brighter because its duty cycle per digit will be 1/5 and the other display's duty cycle will be 1/6.
