8x8 LED Dot Matrix Driver

The example in Figure 3 uses the AS1100 to drive an 8x8 LED dot matrix. The LED columns have common cathode

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 shown in Table 2. The decode mode register

(0xX9) has to be programmed to ‘00000000’ as stated in Table 4. The single LEDs in a column can be addressed as

stated in Table 6, where D0 corresponds to segment G and d/ to segment DP. For a multiple digit dot matrix several

AS1100 have to be cascaded.

Cascading Drivers

The AS1100 can be cascaded as well. The DOUT pin must be connected to the DIN pin of the following AS1100.
