Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
If there are multiple AS1110s in a chain, the error flag will be gated through all devices. To get a valid result at the end
of the chain, a logic 1 must be applied to the SDI input of the first device of the chain. If one device produces an error
this error will show up after n*t
ble to identify which device in the chain produced the error. Therefore, if a global error occurs, the detailed error report
can be run to identify which AS1110, or LED produced the error.
Note: When no error has occurred, the detailed error report can be skipped, setting LD and subsequently OEN low.
Error Detection Functions
Open-LED Detection
The AS1110 open-LED detection is based on the comparison between V
at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally. While detecting open-LEDs the output port must be turned on. Open
LED detection can be started with 1 clock pulse during error detection mode while the output port is turned on.
Note: LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested and will be shown as a logic 1 in the detailed error
Table 6. Open LED Detection Modes
Shorted-LED
The AS1110 shorted-LED detection is based on the comparison between V
aquired at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally. While detecting shorted-LEDs the output port must be turned
on. Shorted-LED detection can be started with 2 clock pulses during error detection mode while the output port is
turned on.
For valid results, the voltage at OUTN0:OUTN15 must be lower then V
ing conditions. This can be achieved by reducing the V
Note: LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested and will be shown as a logic 1 in the detailed error

Overtemperature
Thermal protection for the AS1110 is provided by continuously monitoring the device’s core temperature. The overtem-
perature status is aquired at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally.
