1 General Description
The AS1108 is a compact display driver for 7-segment
numeric displays of up to 4 digits. The device can be
programmed via SPI, QSPI, and Microwire as well as a
conventional 4-wire serial interface.
The device includes an integrated BCD code-B/HEX
decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and display
drivers, and a 32-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 (R
required to set the current through the LED display. LED
brightness can be controlled by analog or digital means.
The device can be programmed to use the internal
code-B/HEX decoder to display numeric digits or to
directly address each segment.
The AS1108 features an extremely low shutdown cur-
rent of typically 3µA, and an operational current of less
than 500µA. The number of digits can be programmed,
the device can be reset by software, and an external
clock is also supported. Additionally, segment blinking
can be synchronized across multiple drivers.
The AS1108 provides several test modes for easy appli-
cation debugging.
The device is available in a 20-pin DIP and a 20-pin
SOIC package.
