a u s t ri a m i c r o s y s t e m s A S 11 0 9 C o n s ta n t - C u r r e n t , 8 - B i t L E D D r i v e r w i t h D i a g n o s t i c s 1 General Description Preliminary Product Brief 2 Key Features The AS1109 was designed to drive up to 8 LEDs through a fast serial interface and features 8 output constant current drivers and an on-chip diagnostic readback function. The high clock-frequency (up to 30MHz), adjustable output current, and flexible serial interface makes the device perfectly suited for high-volume transmission applications. Output current is adjustable (up to 100mA/channel) using an external resistor (REXT). The serial interface includes an integrated shift register with Schmitt trigger inputs allows display data to be shifted-in. Additionally, an internal data register stores the currently displayed data. The device features integrated diagnostics for overtemperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED conditions. Integrated shift registers store global fault status information during load as well as the detailed temperature/ open-LED/shorted-LED diagnostics results. The AS1109 also features a low-current diagnostic mode to minimize display flicker during fault testing. The AS1109 is available in a 16-pin SOIC-150 package and the 16-pin SSOP Package. ! ! 8 Constant-Current Output Channels Excellent Output Current Accuracy - Between Channels: <±2% - Between AS1109 Devices: <±2% !
