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.
