AS1122
12-Channel LED Driver with Dot
Correction and Greyscale PWM
General Description
The AS1122 is a 12-channel, constant current-sink LED driver.
Each of the 12 channels can be individually adjusted by
4096-step greyscale PWM brightness control and 64-step
constant-current sink (dot correction).
The dot correction circuitry adjusts the brightness variations
between the AS1122 channels and other LED drivers. Greyscale
control and dot correction circuitry are accessible via a simple
SPI-compatible serial interface.
The open LED detection function indicates a broken or
disconnected LED at one or more of the outputs. The
overtemperature flag indicates that the device is in an
overtemperature condition.
A single external resistor sets the maximum current value of all
12 channels.
The AS1122 is available in a 24-pin QFN 4 × 4mm package.
Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of
datasheet.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Timing Diagrams
Serial Interface
The AS1122 features a 4-pin (CLKI, CLKO, SDI, and SDO) serial
interface, which can be connected to microcontrollers or digital
signal processors.
The rising edge of the CLKI signal shifts data from pin SDI to the
internal register. After all data are clocked in, the serial data are
latched into the internal registers at the rising edge of the
internal LD signal. The internal LD signal is triggered after the
clk is low for a time t CAPT and all Data are clocked in.
With the first 8 clk-cycles an 8 bit identifier needs to be send to
the device to distinguish between Status Information, Dot
Correction, PWM or command data.
After the internal LD signal the internal counter is set to 0 again
and the data are latched into the register according to the prior
identifier. If the LD triggers and the counter has no valid value
(80 bit for Dot-Correction, 152 bit for PWM data or 16 bit for
command data), the counter is set to 0 but the data will be
ignored.
With the falling edge of the CLKO the data is shifted to SDO.

Note(s) and/or Footnote(s):
1. Bit3 of the identifier is a global ON/OFF bit. When bit3 of any identifier is set to logic ‘0’ and the OEN bit of the command register is ‘0’ (per default), the output channels are immediately turned ON.
The identifier maps the input register to the identified register and all data on pin SDI will be clocked into this
register. This selection is valid as long as no internal LD signal is triggered. When data is latched into the device the
identifier selection is reset and for the next data word a new identifier needs to be send. Every identifier requires a
certain data section length. If this length is not corresponding with the identifier, the data will be ignored.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Typical Operating Characteristics
Setting Dot Correction
The AS1122 can perform independent fine-adjustments to the
output current of each channel. Dot correction is used to adjust
brightness deviations of LEDs connected to the output
channels (OUT0:OUT11).
The device powers up with the following default settings:
DC = 0 and GS = 0.
The 12 channels can be individually programmed with a 6-bit
word for Dot Correction. The channel output can be adjusted
in 64 steps from 0% to 100% of the maximum output current
(I MAX). The output current for each OUTn channel can be
calculated as:
(EQ1)
DC n
I OUTn = I MAX × ----------63
Where:
• I MAX is the maximum programmable output current for
each output;
• DC n is the programmed dot correction value for output
(DCn = 0 to 63);
• n = 0 to 11
Dot correction data are simultaneously entered for all channels.
The complete dot correction data format consists of 12 x 6-bit
words, which forms a 72-bit serial data packet and 8-bit for the
identifier. Channel data is put on one by one, and the data is
clocked in with the MSB first.
Figure 30:
Dot Correction Data Packet Format
The Dot Correction data is only valid if the exact identifier byte
was sent. Otherwise the data will be ignored.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Setting Greyscale Brightness (PWM)
The brightness of each channel output can be adjusted using a
12 bits-per-channel PWM control scheme which results in 4096
brightness steps, from 0% to 100% brightness. The brightness
level for each output is calculated as:
(EQ2)
GS n
%Brightness = ------------ × 100
4095
Where:
• GSn is the programmed greyscale value for output
(GSn = 0 to 4095);
• n = 0 to 11 greyscale data for all outputs.
• The device powers up with the following default settings:
GS = 0 and DC = 0
The input shift register shifts greyscale data into the greyscale
register for all channels simultaneously. The complete greyscale
data format consists of 12 x 12 bit words, which forms a 144-bit
wide data packet plus the 8 bit for the identifier.
Figure 31:

The PWM data is only valid if the exact identifier byte was send.
Otherwise the data will be ignored.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Status Information Data (SID)
The AS1122 contains an integrated status information register.
After latching the correct identifier with a 16 bit data word the
input shift register data is replaced with status information
data.
With the next 16 clock cycles the Open LED information, the
Overtemperature-Warning and -Error flag as well as the
power-ON reset (POR) flag can be read out at pin SDO. The status
information data packet is 16 bits wide. Bits 11:0 contain the
open LED detection status of each channel. Bit 12 is the
overtemperature-warning flag, bit 13 is the
overtemperature-error flag and bit 14 indicates if the POR was
triggered.
Figure 34:
Status Information Data Packet Format
Note(s) and/or Footnote(s):
1. Bit14 (POR) is set to ‘1’ after start-up and after triggering a power-ON reset due to a supply voltage drop. Must be set to ‘0’ manually.

Readback the Status Information Data
To read out the SID the read bit in the command data needs to
be set to “1”. After the new command data is latched into the
device the SID is shifted to the SDO register and will be shifted
out with the next running clk cycles on CLKI. After keeping the
clk low for the time tlow, the device is reset again and can be
programmed with needed information.

Setting Maximum Channel Current
The maximum output current per channel is programmed by a
single resistor R IREF, which is placed between pin I REF and GND.
The voltage on pin IREF is set by an internal band gap V IREF
(1.27V typ). The maximum channel current is equivalent to the
current flowing through RIREF multiplied by a factor of 31.5.
The maximum output current is calculated as:
(EQ3)
V IREF
I MAX = --------------- × 31.5
R IREF
Where:
• V IREF = 1.27V;
• R IREF = User-selected external resistor.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Timing for Cascading of N Devices
With the rising edge of CLKI the data will be shifted from SDI
into the device. The rising edge of CLKI is shifted through the
devices to CLKO. After a factory fixed high-time (100ns) the
falling edge of CLKO is triggered and the data are shifted out
via SDO. This ensures a synchronous timing between CLKO and
SDO. The CLK period (frequency) will stay the same only the
duty cycle will be changed.
The fixed high-time will vary with ±30%.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
Scrambled PWM
Due to the possibility to interrupt a running PWM cycle the
AS1122 is using a scrambled PWM. The scrambled PWM will
cause less error as the classical PWM when data is updated
during a running PWM cycle.
As an example, we take a look on a system with a 8-bit PWM and
three LEDs. The PWM for the red LED is set to 4, for green to 2
and for blue to 6. In the classical approach the red, green and
blue channels are high according to their PWM setting.
If this PWM cycle would be interrupted at the 4th clock, the red
and the blue LED would be as bright as if the PWM setting were
8. The green LED also would be much brighter than desired.
In the scrambled PWM the ON-times are divided evenly over
the whole PWM cycle. So if the running PWM cycle is
interrupted, the failure is less effective.

AS1122 − Detailed Description
PWM Scheme of AS1122
The AS1122 uses a scrambled PWM scheme. Meaning the PWM
value is divide into sub-periods (32 bits wide) and than evenly
distributed over the whole PWM cycle. If the PWM setting can
not be divided by 32, the rest is added at the beginning of the
PWM cycle.

The PWM clock is generated internally and is running with f OSC
(10MHz typ.). For a PWM value of 20 the OUT channel is high for
20 PWM-clock pulses (20 × 100ns) and stays then low for 4076
PWM-clock pulses (4076 × 100ns). After one PWM cycle (4096
pulses) the cycle is repeated endless until the output channels
is turned OFF or updated with new PWM data.
