1 General Description
The AS1116 is a compact LED driver for 64 single LEDs
or 8 digits of 7-segments. The devices can be pro-
grammed via an SPI compatible 3-wire interface.
Every segment can be individually addressed and
updated separately. Only one external resistor (R
SET
) is
required to set the current. LED brightness can be con-
trolled by analog or digital means.
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 shift register settings, eliminating the need for contin-
uous device reprogramming.
Additionally the AS1116 offers a diagnostic mode for
easy and fast production testing and allows the use of
the AS1116 for critical applications. The diagnostic
allows to detect individual open or shorted LEDs.
The AS1116 features a low shutdown current of typically
200nA, and an operational current of typically 350µA.
The number of digits can be programmed, the devices
can be reset by software, and an external clock is also
supported.
The device is available in a QSOP-24 and TQFN(4x4)-
24 package.

bus stations, at airports and also at displays in public
,
transportation like buses or trains mobile phones, per-
sonal electronic and toys.
