9 Typical Application

current that flows through the LEDs.

drive is 47mA. If higher currents are needed, external drivers must be used, in which case it is no longer necessary

that the devices drive high currents.

Note: The display brightness can also be logically controlled (see Intensity Control Register (0x0A) on page 12).

Calculating Power Dissipation

The upper limit for power dissipation (PD) for the AS1118 is determined from the following equation:

(EQ 1)

Where:

DUTY is the duty cycle set by intensity register (page 13).

N is the number of segments driven (worst case is 8)

Dissipation Example:

(EQ 2)

PD = 5V(5mA) + (5V - 2.2V)(15/16 x 40mA x 8) = 0.865W

(EQ 3)

Thus, for a QSOP-24 package

(EQ 4)

In this example the maximum ambient temperature must stay below 73.88°C.
