AS1116
64 LED Driver with Detailed Error Detection
Revision 1.081 - 23
Datasheet
1 General Description
The AS1116 is a compact LED driver for 64 single LEDs or 8 digits of
7-segments. The devices can be programmed via an SPI compatible
3-wire interface.
Every segment can be individually addressed and updated sepa-
rately. Only one external resistor (R
SET
) is required to set the cur-
rent. LED brightness can be controlled by analog or digital means.
The devices include an integrated BCD code-B/HEX decoder, multi-
plex scan circuitry, segment and display drivers, and a 64-bit mem-
ory. Internal memory stores the shift register settings, eliminating the
need for continuous device reprogramming.
Additionally the AS1116 offers a diagnostic mode for easy and fast
production testing and allows the use of the AS1116 for critical appli-
cations. The diagnostic allows to detect individual open or shorted
LEDs.
The AS1116 features a low shutdown current of typically 200nA, and
an operational current of typically 350μA. The number of digits can
be programmed, the devices can be reset by software, and an exter-
nal clock is also supported.
The device is available in a QSOP-24 and TQFN(4x4)-24 package.
