Datasheet

1 General Description

The AS1106 and the AS1107 are compact display drivers for 7-

segment 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.

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

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.

Several test modes are available for easy application debugging.

The devices are available in PDIP 24-pin and SOIC 24-pin

packages.
