Data Sheet AS1100
Serially Interfaced, 8-Digit LED Driver
DATA SHEET
AS1100
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 20µA.
and an operational current of less than 500µA. 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 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. It 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.
