The AS1106 and the AS1107 are compact display drivers for 7segment numeric displays of up to 8 digits. The devices can be
programmed via SPI, QSPI, and Microwire as well as a conventional
4-wire serial interface.
lv
The devices include an integrated BCD code-B/HEX decoder,
multiplex scan circuitry, segment and display drivers, and a 64-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 (RSET) is required to set the
current through the LED display. LED brightness can be controlled
by analog or digital means. The devices can be programmed to use
the internal code-B/HEX decoder to display numeric digits or to
directly address each segment.
The AS1106 and the AS1107 feature an extremely low shutdown
current of typically 3µA, and an operational current of less than
500µA. The number of digits can be programmed, the devices can
be reset by software, and an external clock is also supported.
Additionally, segment blinking can be synchronized across multiple
drivers.
3 Applications
Several test modes are available for easy application debugging.
The devices are available in PDIP 24-pin and SOIC 24-pin
packages.
The AS1106 and AS1107 are ideal for bar-graph displays,
instrument-panel meters, LED matrix displays, dot matrix displays,
set-top boxes, white goods, professional audio equipment, medical
equipment, industrial controllers and panel meters.

Description
Serial-Data Input. Data is loaded into the internal 16-bit shift register on the rising edge of
pin CLK.
Digit Drive Lines. 8 Eight-digit drive lines that sink current from the display common
cathode. The AS1106 pulls the digit outputs to VDD when turned off. The AS1107 digit drivers
are high-impedance when turned off.
Ground. Both GND pins must be connected.
Load-Data Input (AS1106 only). The last 16 bits of serial data are latched on the rising edge
of this pin.
Chip-Select Input (AS1107 or AS1106 SPI-enabled only). Serial data is loaded into the shift
register while this pin is low. The last 16 bits of serial data are latched on the rising edge of
this pin.
Serial-Clock Input. 10MHz maximum rate. Data is shifted into the internal shift register on
the rising edge of this pin. Data is clocked out of pin DOUT on the falling edge of this pin. On
the AS1107 or AS1106 SPI-enabled, the CLK input is active only while LOAD/CSN is low.
Seven Segment and Decimal Point Drive Lines. 8 seven-segment drives and decimal
point drive that source current to the display. On the AS1106, when a segment driver is
turned off it is pulled to GND. The AS1107 segment drivers are high-impedance when turned
off.
Set Segment Current. Connect to VDD through RSET to set the peak segment current (see
Selecting RSET Resistor Value and Using External Drivers on page 14).
Positive Supply Voltage. Connect to +2.7 to +5.5V supply.
Serial-Data Output. The data into pin DIN is valid at pin DOUT 16.5 clock cycles later. This
pin is used to daisy-chain several AS1106/AS1107 devices and is never high-impedance.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 AS1106 vs. AS1107
The AS1106 and AS1107 are identical except for two features:
The AS1107 segment drivers are slew-rate limited to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
al
id
The AS1107 serial interface is fully SPI compatible (programmable for AS1106).
8.2 Serial-Addressing Format
Programming the AS1106/AS1107 is done by writing to the device’s internal registers (see Digit- and Control-Registers on page 9) via the 4-wire
serial interface. A programming sequence consists of 16-bit packages as listed in Table 6.
lv
The data is shifted into the internal 16-bit register with the rising edge of the CLK signal. With the rising edge of the LOAD/CSN signal the data is
latched into a digit- or control-register. The LOAD/CSN signal must go high after the 16th rising clock edge.
The LOAD/CSN signal can also come later but this must happen just before the next rising edge of CLK, otherwise the data will be lost. The
contents of the internal shift register are applied 16.5 clock cycles later to pin DOUT. The data is clocked out at the falling edge of CLK.
am
lc s
on A
te G

st
il
The first 4 bits (D15:D12) are “don't care”, bits D11:D8 contain the register address, and bits D7:D0 contain the data. The first bit is D15, the most
significant bit (MSB). The exact timing is shown in Figure 12.

On initial power-up, the AS1106/AS1107 registers are reset to their default values, the display is blanked, and the device goes into shutdown
mode. At this time, all registers should be programmed for normal operation.
Note: The default settings enable only scanning of one digit; the internal decoder is disabled and the Intensity Control Register (see page 12)
is set to the minimum values.

8.4 Shutdown Mode
The AS1106/AS1107 devices feature a shutdown mode, where they consume only 10µA (max) current. Shutdown mode is entered via a write to
the Shutdown Register (see Table 8). For the AS1106, at that point, all segment current sources are pulled to ground and all digit drivers are
connected to VDD, so that all segments are blanked. The AS1107 behavior is identical except the drivers are high impedance.
Note: During shutdown mode the Digit-Registers maintain their data.
al
id
Shutdown mode can either be used as a means to reduce power consumption or for generating a flashing display (repeatedly entering and
leaving shutdown mode). For minimum supply current in shutdown mode, logic input should be at GND or VDD (CMOS logic level).
The devices need typically 250µs to exit shutdown mode, and during shutdown mode the AS1106/AS1107 is fully programmable. Only the
display test mode (see page 11) overrides shutdown mode.
When entering or leaving shutdown mode, the Feature Register is reset to its default values (all 0s) when Shutdown Register bit D7 (page 10) =
1
lv
0.
Note: If the AS1106/AS1107 is used with an external clock, Shutdown Register bit D7 should be set to 1 when writing to the Shutdown Register.

8.5 Digit- and Control-Registers
The AS1106/AS1107 devices contain 8 Digit-Registers and 6 control-registers, which are listed in Table 7. All registers are selected using a 4-bit
address word, and communication is done via the serial interface.
Digit Registers – These registers are realized with an on-chip 64-bit memory. Each digit can be controlled directly without rewriting the
whole register contents.
Control Registers – These registers consist of decode mode, display intensity, number of scanned digits, shutdown, display test and features selection registers.

The Decode Enable Register sets the decode mode. BCD/HEX decoding (either BCD code – characters 0:9, E, H, L, P, and -, or HEX code –
characters 0:9 and A:F) is selected by bit D2 (page 13) of the Feature Register. The Decode Enable Register is used to select the decode mode
or no-decode for each digit. Each bit in the Decode Enable Register corresponds to its respective display digit (i.e., bit D0 corresponds to digit 0,
bit D1 corresponds to digit 1 and so on). Table 10 lists some examples of the possible settings for the Decode Enable Register bits.
Note: A logic high enables decoding and a logic low bypasses the decoder altogether.
When decode mode is used, the decoder looks only at the lower-nibble (bits D3:D0) of the data in the Digit-Registers, disregarding bits D6:D4.
Bit D7 sets the decimal point (SEG DP) independent of the decoder and is positive logic (bit D7 = 1 turns the decimal point on). Table 10 lists the
code-B font; Table 11 lists the HEX font.
When no-decode mode is selected, data bits D7:D0 of the Digit-Registers correspond to the segment lines of the AS1106/AS1107. Table 12
shows the 1:1 pairing of each data bit to the appropriate segment line.

The AS1106/AS1107 devices can operate in two modes: normal mode and display test mode. In display test mode all LEDs are switched on at
maximum brightness (duty cycle is 15/16 (AS1106) or 31/32 (AS1107). The devices remain in display-test mode until the Display-Test Register is
set for normal operation.
Note: All settings of the digit- and control-registers are maintained.

Intensity Control Register (0xXA)
The brightness of the display can be controlled by digital means using the Intensity Control Register and by analog means using RSET (see
Selecting RSET Resistor Value and Using External Drivers on page 14).
Display brightness is controlled by an integrated pulse-width modulator which is controlled by the lower-nibble of the Intensity Control Register.
The modulator scales the average segment-current in 16 steps from a maximum of 31/32 down to 1/32 (15/16 to 1/16 for the AS1107) of the
peak current set by RSET.

Table 14. Intensity Register Format (Address (HEX) = 0xXA))
Scan-Limit Register (0x0B)
The Scan-Limit Register controls which of the digits are to be displayed. When all 8 digits are to be displayed, the update frequency is typically
800Hz. If the number of digits displayed is reduced, the update frequency is increased. The frequency can be calculated using 8fOSC/N, where
N is the number of digits. Since the number of displayed digits influences the brightness, RSET should be adjusted accordingly. Table 16 lists the
maximum allowed current when fewer than 4 digits are used.
Note: To avoid differences in brightness this register should not be used to blank parts of the display (leading zeros).

The Feature Register is used for enabling various features including switching the device into external clock mode, applying an external reset,
selecting code-B or HEX decoding, enabling or disabling blinking, enabling or disabling the SPI-compatible interface (AS1106 only), setting the
blinking rate, and resetting the blink timing.
Note: At power-up the Feature Register is initialized to 0.

No-Op Register (0xX0)
Te
8.5.7
The No-Op Register is used when multiple AS1106 or AS1107 devices are cascaded in order to support displays with more than 8 digits. The
cascading must be done in such a way that all DOUT pins are connected to DIN of the next AS1106/AS1107 (see Figure 14 on page 16). The
LOAD/CSN and CLK signals are connected to all devices.
For example, if five devices are cascaded, in order to perform a write operation to the fifth device, the write-command must be followed by four
no-operation commands. When the LOAD/CSN signal goes high, all shift registers are latched. The first four devices will receive no-operation
commands and only the fifth device will receive the intended operation command, and subsequently update its register.

9 Application Information
9.1 Supply Bypassing and Wiring
In order to achieve optimal performance the AS1106/AS1107 should be placed very close to the LED display to minimize effects of
electromagnetic interference and wiring inductance.
al
id
Furthermore, it is recommended to connect a 10µF electrolytic and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between pins VDD and GND to avoid power
supply ripple (see Figure 14 on page 16).
Note: Both GND pins must be connected to ground.
9.2 Selecting RSET Resistor Value and Using External Drivers
lv
Brightness of the display segments is controlled via RSET. The current that flows between VDD and ISET defines the current that flows through
the LEDs.
Segment current is about 200 times the current in ISET. Typical values for RSET for different segment currents, operating voltages, and LED
voltage drop (VLED) are given in Tables 19 - 23. The maximum current the AS1106/AS1107 devices can drive is 40mA. If higher currents are
needed, external drivers must be used, in which case it is no longer necessary that the devices drive high currents.
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
In cases where the devices only drive a few digits, Table 16 specifies the maximum currents, and RSET must be set accordingly.
Note: The display brightness can also be logically controlled (see Intensity Control Register (0xXA) on page 12).

9.3 Calculating the Power Dissipation
The upper limit for power dissipation (PD) for the AS1106/AS1107 is determined from the following equation:
PD = (VDD x 1mA) + (VDD - VLED)(DUTY x ISEG x N)

N is the number of segments driven (worst case is 8)
VLED is the LED forward voltage
ISEG = segment current set by RSET
Dissipation Example:
ISEG = 40mA, N = 8, DUTY = 31/32, VLED = 1.8V at 40mA, VDD = 5.25V
(EQ 2)
PD = 5.25V(1mA) + (5.25V - 1.8V)(31/32 x 40mA x 8) = 1.075W
(EQ 3)
Thus, for a PDIP package ΘJA = +75°C/W (from Table 24), the maximum allowed TAMB is given by:
TJ,MAX = TAMB + PD x ΘJA = 150°C = TAMB +1.07W x 75°C/W
Where:
TAMB = +69.4°C.
(EQ 4)
The TAMB limit for SO Packages in the dissipation example above is +58.6°C.

9.4 8x8 LED Dot Matrix Driver
The application example in Figure 14 shows the AS1106 as an 8x8 LED dot matrix driver.
The LED columns have common cathodes and are connected to the DIG0:7 outputs. The rows are connected to the segment drivers. Each of
the 64 LEDs can be addressed separately. The columns are selected via the digits as listed in Table 7 on page 9.
The Decode Enable Register (see page 10) must be set to ‘00000000’ as described in Table 9 on page 10. Single LEDs in a column can be
addressed as described in Table 12 on page 11, where bit D0 corresponds to segment G and bit D7 corresponds to segment DP.

Note: For a multiple-digit dot matrix, multiple AS1106 devices must be cascaded.

9.5 Cascading Drivers
The example in Figure 14 drives 2 dot matrix digits using a 4-wire microprocessor interface. All Scan-Limit Registers should be set to the same
value so that one display will not appear brighter than the other.
Te
For example, to display 12 digits, set both Scan-Limit Registers to display 6 digits so that both displays have a 1/6 duty cycle per digit. If 11 digits
are needed, set both Scan-Limit Registers to display 6 digits and leave one digit unconnected. Otherwise, if one driver is set to display 6 digits
and the other to display 5 digits one display will appear brighter because its duty cycle per digit will be 1/5 and the other display’s duty cycle will
be 1/6.
Note: Refer to No-Op Register (0xX0) on page 13 for additional information.
