Initial Power-Up
On initial power-up, the AS1115 regist ers are reset to their default values, the di splay 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 17) is set to the minimum values.
Shutdown Mode
The AS1115 devices feature a shutdown mode, where th ey consume only 200nA (typ ) current. Shutdown mode is
entered via a write to the Shutdown Register (see Table 7). During shutdown mo de 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 enteri ng and leaving shutdown mode). For minimum supply current in shutdown mode, logic input should
be at GND or VDD (CMOS logic level).
When entering or leaving shutdown mode, the Feature Register is reset to its default values (all 0s) when Shutdown
Register bit D7 (page 13) = 0.
Note: When Shutdown Register bit D7 = 1, the Feature Register is left unchanged when entering or leaving shut-
down mode. If the AS1115 is used with an external clock, Shutdown Register bit D7 should be set to 1 when
writing to th e Sh utdown Register.
Digit- and Control-Registers
The AS1 115 devices contain 8 Digit-Registers,1 1 control-registers and 10 diagnostic-registers, which are listed in Table
6. All registers are selected using a 8-bit address word, and communication is done via the I²C interface.
! Digit Registers – These registers are realized with an on-chip 64-bit memory. Each digit can be controlled directly
without rewriting the whole reg ister contents.
! Control Registers – These registe r s consist of decode mode, display intensity, number of scanned digits, shut-
down, display test and feat ures selection registers.
