Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
8 Detailed Description
The AS1113 is designed to drive up to 16 LEDs through a fast serial interface and 16 constant-current output drivers.
Furthermore, the AS1113 provides diagnostics for detecting open- or shorted-LEDs, as well as over-temperature conditions for LED display systems, especially LED traffic sign applications.
The AS1113 contains an 16-bit shift register and an 16-bit data register, which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At AS1113 output stages, sixteen regulated current sinks are designed to provide uniform and constant current with excellent matching between ports for driving LEDs within a wide range of forward voltage variations. External
output current is adjustable from 0.5 to 50mA using an external resistor for flexibility in controlling the brightness intensity of LEDs. The AS1113 guarantees to endure 15V maximum at the outputs.
The serial interface is capable of operating at a minimum of 30 MHz, satisfying the requirements of high-volume data
transmission.
Using a multiplexed input/output technique, the AS1113 adds additional functionality to pins SDO, LD and OEN. These
pins provide highly useful functions (open- and shorted-LED detection, over-temperature detection), thus reducing pin
count. Over-temperature detection will work on-the-run, whereas the open- and shorted-LED detection can be used
on-the-run or in low-current diagnostic mode (see page 15).

Serial Interface
Data accesses are made serially via pins SDI and SDO. At each CLK rising edge, the signal present at pin SDI is
shifted into the first bit of the internal shift register and the other bits are shifted ahead of the first bit. The MSB is the
first bit to be clocked in. In error-detection mode the shift register will latch-in the corresponding error data of temperature-, open-, and short-error register with each falling edge of LD.
The 16-bit data register will latch the data of the shift register at each rising edge of LD. This data is then used to drive
the current generator output drivers to switch on the corresponding LEDs as OEN goes low.

Error-Detection Mode
Acquisition of the error status occurs at the rising edge of OEN. Error-detection mode is started on the rising edge of
LD when OEN is high. The CLK signal must be low when entering error detection mode. Error detection for open- and
shorted-LEDs can only be performed for LEDs that are switched on during test time. To switch between error-detection
modes clock pulses are needed (see Table 5).
Note: To test all LEDs, a test pattern that turns on all LEDs must be input to the AS1113.
Global Error Mode
Global error mode is entered when error-detection mode is started. Clock pulses during this period are used to select
between temperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED tests, as well as low-current diagnostic mode and shutdown mode
(see Table 5). In global error mode, an error flag (TFLAG, OFLAG, SFLAG) is delivered to pin SDO if any errors are
encountered.

AS1113
Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
If there are multiple AS1113s 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*tP(I/O) + tSW(ERROR) at pin SDO of the last device in the chain. This means it is not possible 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 AS1113, 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 AS1113 open-LED detection is based on the comparison between VDS and VTHL. The open LED status is aquired
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
report.

Shorted-LED
The AS1113 shorted-LED detection is based on the comparison between VDS and VTHH. The shortened LED status is
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 VTHH under low-current diagnostic mode operating conditions. This can be achieved by reducing the VLED voltage or by adding additional diodes, resistors or LED’s.
Note: LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested and will be shown as a logic 1 in the detailed error
report.

Detailed Error Reports
The detailed error report can be read out after global error mode has been run. At the falling edge of LD, the detailed
error report of the selected test is latched into the shift register and can be clocked out with n*16 clock cycles (n is the
number of AS1113s in a chain) via pin SDO. At the same time new data can be written into the shift register, which is
loaded on the next rising edge of pin LD. This pattern is shown at the output drivers, at the falling edge of OEN.
Detailed Temperature Warning Report
The detailed temperature warning report can be read out immediately after global error mode has been run. SDI must
be 1 for the first device. Bit0 of the 16bit data word represents the temperature flag of the chip.

Detailed Temperature Warning Report Example
Consider a case where four AS1113s are cascaded in one chain. The detailed error report lists the temperatures for
each device in the chain:
IC1:[70°] IC2:[85°] IC3:[170°] IC4:[60°]
In this case, IC3 is overheated and will generate a global error, and therefore 4*16 clock cycles are needed to write out
the detailed temperature warning report, and optionally read in new data. The detailed temperature warning report
would look like this:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1
The 0 in the detailed temperature warning report indicates that IC3 is the device with the over-temperature condition.
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output.

Detailed Open-LED Error Report Example
Consider a case where three AS1113s are cascaded in one chain. A 1 indicates a LED is on, a 0 indicates a LED is off,
and an X indicates an open LED. The open-LED test is only applied to LEDs that are turned on. This test is used with
a test pattern where all LEDs are on at test time.
IC1:[1111111111111111] IC2:[111XX11111111X11] IC3:[1111111111111111]
IC2 has three open LEDs switched on due to input. 3*16 clock cycles are needed to write the entire error code out. The
detailed error report would look like this:
Input Data: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

1110011111111011
1111111111111111
Comparing this report with the input data indicates that IC2 is the device with two open LEDs at position 4 and 5 and
one open LED at position 14. For such a test it is recommended to enter low-current diagnostic mode first (see LowCurrent Diagnostic Mode on page 15) to reduce screen flickering.
This test can be used also on-the-fly without using an all 1s test pattern (see Figure 18 on page 17).
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output. LEDs turned off during test time cannot be tested and will
show a logic 1 in the detailed error report.

Detailed Shorted-LED Error Report Example
Consider a case where three AS1113s are cascaded in one chain. A 1 indicates a LED is on, a 0 indicates a LED is off,

IC1:[11111XX111111111] IC2:[1111111111111111] IC3:[X100011111111111]
IC1 has two shorted LEDs which are switched on, IC3 has one shorted LED switched off due to input. 3*16 clock

1111111111111111
Showing IC1 as the device with two shorted LEDs at position 6 and 7, and IC3 with one shorted LED at position 1. The
shorted LED at position 1 of IC3 cannot be detected, since LEDs turned off at test time are not tested and will show a
logic "1" at the detailed error report. To test all LEDs this test should be run with an all 1s test pattern. For a test with an
all on test pattern, low-current diagnostic mode should be entered first to reduce on-screen flickering.
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output. LEDs turned off during test time cannot be tested and will
show a logic 1 in the detailed error report.
Low-Current Diagnostic Mode
To run the open- or shorted-LED test, a test pattern must be used that will turn on each LED to be tested. This test pattern will cause a short flicker on the screen while the test is being performed. The low-current diagnostic mode can be
initiated prior to running a detailed error report to reduce this on-screen flickering.
Note: Normally, displays using such a diagnostic mode require additional cables, resistors, and other components to
reduce the current. The AS1113 has this current-reduction capability built-in, thereby minimizing the number of
external components required.
Low-current diagnostic mode can be initiated via 3 clock pulses during error-detection mode. After the falling edge of
LD, a test pattern displaying all 1s can be written to the shift register which will be used for the next error-detection test.

Shutdown Mode
The AS1113 features a shutdown mode which can be entered via 4 clock pulses during error-detection mode. To
enable the shutdown mode a 0 must be placed at SDI after the rising edge of the 3rd clock pulse.
To disable shutdown mode a 1 must be placed at SDI after the 3rd clock pulse. The shutdown/wakeup information will
be latched through if multiple AS1113 devices are in a chain. At the rising edge of the 4th clock pulse the shutdown bit
will be read out and the AS1113 will shutdown or wakeup.

9 Application Information
Error Detection
The AS1113 features two types of error detection. The error detection can be used on-the-fly, for active LEDs, without
any delay, or by entering into low-current diagnosis mode.
Error Detection On-The-Fly
Error detection on-the-fly will output the status of active LEDs during operation. Without choosing an error mode this
will output the temperature flag at every input/output cycle. Triggering one clock pulse for open or two clock pulses for
short detection during error detection mode outputs the detailed open- or short-error report with the next input/output
cycle (see Figure 18). LEDs turned off at test time are not tested and will show a logic "1" at the detailed error report.

The last pattern written into the shift register will be saved before starting low-current diagnosis mode and can be displayed immediately after the test has been performed.
Low-current diagnostic mode is started with 3 clock pulses during error detection mode. Then OEN should be enabled
for ≥2µs for testing. With the rising edge of OEN the LED test is stopped, and while LD is high the desired error mode
can be selected with the corresponding clock pulses. After LD and OEN go low again the previously saved pattern can
be displayed at the outputs.
With the next data input the detailed error code will be clocked out at pin SDO.

Cascading Devices
To cascade multiple AS1113 devices, pin SDO must be connected to pin SDI of the next AS1113 (see Figure 21). At
each rising edge of CLK the LSB of the shift register will be written into the shift register SDI of the next AS1113 in the
chain.
Note: When n*AS1113 devices are in one chain, n*16 clock pulses are needed to latch-in the input data.

AS1113
Datasheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n
Constant Current
In LED display applications, the AS1113 provides virtually no current variations from channel-to-channel and from
AS1113-to-AS1113. This is mostly due to 2 factors:
!
While IOUT ≥ 10mA, the maximum current skew is less than ±3% between channels and less than ±6% between
AS1113 devices.
!
In the saturation region, the characteristic curve of the output stage is flat (see Figure 5 on page 7). Thus, the output current can be kept constant regardless of the variations of LED forward voltages (VF).
Adjusting Output Current
The AS1113 scales up the reference current (IREF) set by external resistor (REXT) to sink a current (IOUT) at each output port. As shown in Figure 3 on page 7 the output current in the saturation region is extremely flat so that it is possible to define it as target current (IOUT TARGET). IOUT TARGET can be calculated by:
VREXT = 1.253V
IREF = VREXT/REXT (if the other end of REXT is connected to ground)
IOUT TARGET = IREF*15 = (1.253V/REXT)*15
(EQ 1)
(EQ 2)
(EQ 3)
Where:
REXT is the resistance of the external resistor connected to pin REXT.
VREXT is the voltage on pin REXT.
The magnitude of current (as a function of REXT) is around 50.52mA at 372Ω and 25.26mA at 744Ω. Figure 3 on
page 7 shows the relationship curve between the IOUT TARGET of each channel and the corresponding external resistor
(REXT).
Package Power Dissipation
The maximum allowable package power dissipation (PD) is determined as:
PD(MAX) = (TJ-TAMB)/RTH(J-A)
When 16 output channels are turned on simultaneously, the actual package power dissipation is:
PD(ACT) = (IDD*VDD) + (IOUT*Duty*VDS*16)
(EQ 4)
(EQ 5)
Therefore, to keep PD(ACT) ≤ PD(MAX), the maximum allowed output current as a function of duty cycle is:
IOUT = {[(TJ-TAMB)/RTH(J-A)]-(IDD*VDD)}/VDS/Duty/16
(EQ 6)
Where:
TJ = 150ºC
Delayed Outputs
The AS1113 has graduated delay circuits between outputs. These delay circuits can be found between OUTNn and
constant current block.
The fixed delay time is 20 ns (typ) where OUTN0 has no delay, OUTN1 has 20ns delay, OUTN2 has 40ns delay ...
OUTN15 has 300ns delay. This delay prevents large inrush currents, which reduce power supply bypass capacitor
requirements when the outputs turn on (see Figure 10 on page 10)
Switching-Noise Reduction
LED drivers are frequently used in switch-mode applications which normally exhibit switching noise due to parasitic
inductance on the PCB.
Load Supply Voltage
Considering the package power dissipation limits (see EQ 4:6), the AS1113 should be operated within the range of
VDS = 0.4 to 1.0V.
For example, if VLED is higher than 5V, VDS may be so high that PD(ACT) > PD(MAX) where VDS = VLED - VF. In this case,
the lowest possible supply voltage or a voltage reducer (VDROP) should be used. The voltage reducer allows
VDS = (VLED -VF) - VDROP.
Note: Resistors or zener diodes can be used as a voltage reducer as shown in Figure 22.
