General Description

The AS1100 is an LED driver for 7 segment numeric

displays of up to 8 digits. The AS1100 can be programmed

via a conventional 4 wire serial interface. It includes a BCD

code-B decoder, a multiplex scan circuitry, segment and

display drivers and a 64 Bit memory. The memory is used to

store the LED settings, so that continuous reprogramming is

not necessary.

Software Reset and external clock are not supported by

MAX7219

Every individual segment can be addressed and updated

separately. Only one external resistor is required to set the

current through the LED display. Brightness can be

controlled either in an analog or digital way. The user can

choose the internal code-B decoder to display numeric

digits or to address each segment directly. The AS1100

features an extremely low shutdown current of only 20µA.

and an operational current of less than 500µA. The number

of visible digits can be programmed as well. The AS1100

can be reset by software and an external clock can be used.

Several test modes support easy debugging.

The AS1100 is fully compatible to the MAX 7219. AS1100 is

offered in a 24 pins PDIP and SOIC package.
