Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n

Initial Power-Up

After powering up the system all register are reset, so that the display is blank. The AS1100 starts the shutdown mode.

All registers should be programmed for normal operation. The default settings enable only scan of one digit, the

internal decoder is disabled, data register and intensity register are set to the minimum value.

Decode-Mode Register

In the AS1100 a BCD decoder is included. Every digit can be selected via register 09h to be decoded. The BCD code

consists of the numbers 0-9, E,H, L,P and -. In register 09h a logic high enables the decoder for the appropriate digit.

In case that the decoder is bypassed (logic low) the data Bits D7-D0 correspond to the segment lines of the AS1100. In

Table 7 some possible settings for register 09h are shown. Bit D7, which corresponds to the decimal point, is not

affected by the settings of the decoder. Logic high means that the decimal point is displayed. In Table 8 the font of the

Code B decoder is shown. In Table 9 the correspondence of the register to the appropriate segments of a 7 segment

display is shown (see Figure 6).

Intensity Control and Interdigit Blanking

Brightness of the display can be controlled in an analog way by changing the external resistor (RSET). The current,

which flows between VDD and ISET, defines the current that flows through the LEDs. The LED current is 100 times the

ISET current. The minimum value of RSET should be 9.53k

Ω, which corresponds to 40mA segment current. The

brightness of the display can also be controlled digitally via register 0Ah. The brightness can be programmed in 16

steps and is shown in Table 10. An internal pulse width modulator controls the intensity of the display.

Scan-Limit Register

The scan limit register 0Bh selects the number of digits displayed. When all 8 digits are displayed the update frequency

is typically 800Hz. If the number of digits displayed is reduced, the update frequency is reduced as well. The frequency

can be calculated using 8fOSC/N, where N is the number of digits. Since the number of displayed digits influences the

brightness, the resistor RSET should be adjusted accordingly. The Table 12 shows the maximum allowed current, when

fewer than 4 digits are used. To avoid differences in brightness the scan limit register should not be used to blank

portions of the display (leading zeros).
