AS1109
Constant-Current, 8-Bit LED Driver with Diagnostics
Data Sheet
www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.18 1 - 26
1 General Description
The AS1109 is designed to drive up to 8 LEDs through a
fast serial interface and features 8 output constant cur-
rent drivers and an on-chip diagnostic read-back func-
tion.
The high clock-frequency (up to 50MHz), adjustable out-
put current, and flexible serial interface makes th e
device perfectly suited for high-volume transmission
applications.
Output current is adjustable (up to 100mA/channel )
using an external resistor (REXT).
The serial interface with Schmitt trigger inputs includes
an integrated shift register. Additionally, an internal data
register stores the currently displayed data.
The device features integrated diagnostics for over-
temperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED conditions.
Integrated registers store glob al fault status information
during load as well as the detailed te mperature/open-
LED/shorted-LED diagnostics results.
The AS1109 also features a low-current diagnostic
mode to minimize display flicker during fault testing.
With an operating temperature ra nge from -40 to
+125°C the AS1109 is also ideal for industrial applica-
tions.
The AS1109 is available in a 16-pi n SOIC-150, a 16-pin
QFN (4x4mm) and the 16-pin SSOP-150 package.

AS1109
Data Sheet - D e t ai l e d D es c r i p t io n
8 Detailed Description
The AS1109 is designed to drive up to 8 LEDs through a fast serial interface and 8 constant-current output drivers. Fur-
thermore, the AS1109 provides diagnostics for detecting open- or shorted-LEDs, as well as over-temperature condi-
tions for LED display systems, especially LED traffic sign applications.
The AS1109 contains an 8-bit shift register and an 8-bit data register , which convert serial input data into parallel output
format. At AS1109 output stages, eight regulated current sinks are designed to provide uniform and constant current
with excellent matching between ports for driving LEDs within a wide range of forward voltage variations. External out-
put current is adjustable from 0.5 to 100mA using an external resistor for flexibility in controlling the brightness intensity
of LEDs. The AS1109 guarantees to endure 15V maximum at the outputs.
The serial interface is capable of operating at a minimum of 30 MHz, satisfying the requireme nts of high-volume data
transmission.
Using a multiplexed input/output technique, the AS1109 adds additional functionality to pins SDO, LD and OEN. These
pins provide highly useful functions (open- and shorted-LED detection, over-temperature detection), thus reducing pin
count. Over-temperature detection will work on-the-run, whereas the open- and shorted-LED detectio n can be used
on-the-run or in low-current di agnostic mode (see page 15).

Serial Interface
Data accesses are made serially via pins SDI and SDO. At each CLK rising edge, th e signal present at pin SDI is
shifted into the first bit of the internal shift register and the other bits are shifted ahead of the first bit. The MSB is the
first bit to be clocked in. In error-detection mode the shift register will latch-in the corresponding error data of tempera-
ture-, open-, and short-error register with each falling edge of LD.
The 8-bit data register will latch the data of the shift register at each rising edge of LD. This data is then used to drive
the current generator output drivers to switch on the corresponding LEDs as OEN goes low.

Figure 14. Switching Global Error Mode Timing Diagram
Error-Detection Mode
Acquisition of the error status occurs at the rising edge of OEN. Error-detection mode is started on the rising edge of
LD when OEN is high. The CLK signal must be low when entering error detection mode. Error detection for open- and
shorted-LEDs can only be performed for LEDs that are switched on during test time. To switch between error-detection
modes clock pulses are needed (see Table 5).
Note: To test all LEDs, a test pattern that turns on all LEDs must be input to the AS1109 .
Global Error Mode
Global error mode is entered when error-detection mode is star ted. Clock pulses during this period are used to select
between temperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED tests, as well as low-current diagnostic mode and shutdown mode
(see Table 5). In global error mode, an error flag (TFLAG, OFLAG, SFLAG) is delivered to pin SDO if any errors are
encountered.
Note: For a valid result SDI must be 1 for the first device.

Data Sheet - D e t ai l e d D es c r i p t io n
If there are multiple AS1109s in a chain, the error flag will be gated through all devices. To get a valid result at the end
of the chain, a logic 1 must be applied to the SDI input of the first device of the chain. If one device produces an error
this error will show up after n*tP(I/O) + tSW(ERROR) at pin SDO of the last device in the chain. This means it is not possi-
ble to identify which device in the chain produced the error. Therefore, if a global error occurs, the detailed error report
can be run to identify which AS1109, or LED produced the error.
Note: When no error has occurred, the detailed error report can be skipped, setting LD and sub se quently OEN low.
Error Detection Functions
Open-LED Detection
The AS1109 open-LED detection is based on the comparison between VDS and VTHL. The open LED status is aquired
at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally. While detecting open-LEDs the output port must be turned on. Open
LED detection can be started with 1 clock pulse during error detection mode while the output port is turned on.
Note: LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested.
Shorted-LED
The AS1109 shorted-LED detection is based on the comparison between VDS and VTHH. The shortened LED status is
aquired at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally. While detecting shorte d-LEDs the output port must be turned
on. Shorted-LED detection can be started with 2 clock pulses during error detection mode while the output port is
turned on.
For valid results, the voltage at OUTN0:OUTN7 must be lower then VTHH under low-current diagnostic mode operating
conditions. This can be achieved by reducing the VLED voltage or by adding additional diodes, resisto r s or LED’s.
Note: LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested.
Overtemperature
Thermal protection for the AS1109 is provided by continuously monitoring the device’s core temperature. The overtem-
perature status is aquired at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally.

Detailed Error Reports
The detailed error report can be read out after global error mode has been run. On the falling edge of LD, the detailed
error report of the selected test is latched into the shift register and can be clocked out with n*8 clock cycles (n is the
number of AS1109s in a chain) via pin SDO. At the same time new data can be written into the shift register, which will
load on the next rising edge of pin LD. This data will show at the output drivers, at the falli ng edge of OEN.
Detailed Temperature Warning Report
The detailed temperature warning report can be read out immediately after global error mode has been run. Bit0 of the
8bit data word represents the temperature flag of the chip.
Figure 15. Detailed Temperature Warning Report Timing Diagram
Detailed Temperature Warning Report Example
Consider a case where five AS1109s are cascaded in one chain. The detailed error report lists the temperatures for
each device in the chain: IC1:[70°] IC2:[85°] IC3:[66°] IC4:[160°] IC5:[76°]
In this case, IC4 is overheated and will generate a global error, and therefore 5*8 clock cycles are ne eded to write out
the detailed temperature warning report, and optionally read in new data. The detailed temperature warning report
would look like this: XXXXXXX1 XXXXXXX1 XXXXXXX1 XXXXXXX0 XXXXXXX1
The 0 in the detailed temperature warning report indicates that IC4 is the device with the over-temperature condition.
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output.

Detailed Open-LED Error Report
The detailed open-LED error report can be read out immediately after global error mode has been run.
Figure 16. Detailed Open-LED Error Report Timing Diagram
Detailed Open-LED Error Report Example
Consider a case where five AS1109s are cascaded in one chain. A 1 indicates a LED is on, a 0 indicates a LED is off,
and an X indicates an open LED. Th e open-LED test is only applied to LEDs that are turned on. This test is used with
a test pattern where all LEDs are on at test time.
IC1:[11111111] IC2:[111XX111] IC3:[11111111] IC4:[1X111111] IC5:[11111111]
IC2 has two open LEDs and IC4 has one open LED switched on due to input. 5*8 clock cycles are needed to write the
entire error code out. The detailed error report would look like this:
Comparing this report with the input data indicates that IC2 is the device with two open LEDs at position 4 and 5 and
IC4 with an open LED at second position. For such a test it is recommended to enter low-current diagnostic mode first
(see Low-Current Diagnostic Mode on page 15) to reduce on screen flickering.
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output.

Detailed Shorted-LED Error Report
The detailed shorted-LED error report can be read out immediately after global error mode has been run (see Global
Error Mode on page 11).
Figure 17. Detailed Shorted-LED Error Report Timing Diagram
Detailed Shorted-LED Error Report Example
Consider a case where five AS1109s are cascaded in one chain. A 1 indicates a LED is on, a 0 indicates a LED is off,
and an X indicates a shorted LED. This test is used with a test pattern where all LEDs are on at test time. Additionally,
this test should be run after starting low-current diagnostic mode (see Low-Current Diagnostic Mode on page 15).
IC1:[11111XX1] IC2:[11111111] IC3:[11111111] IC4:[111X1111] IC5:[11111111]
IC2 has two shorted LEDs and IC4 has one shorted LED switched on due to input. 5*8 clock cycles are needed to write
the entire error code out. The detailed error report would look like this:
Showing IC1 as the device with two shorted LEDs at position 6 and 7, and IC4 with one shorted LED at position 4.
Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output. LEDs turned off during test time cannot be tested.
Low-Current Diagnostic Mode
To run the open- or shorted-LED test, a test pattern must be used that will turn on each LED to be tested. This test pat-
tern will cause a short flicker on the screen while the test is being performed. The low-current diagnostic mode can be
initiated prior to running a detailed error report to reduce this on-screen flickeri ng.
Note: Normally, displays using such a diagnosis mode require additional cables, resistors, and other components to
reduce the current. The AS1109 has this current-reduction capability built-in, thereby minimizing the number of
external components required.
Low-current diagnostic mode can be initiated via 3 clock pulses during error-detection mode. After the falling edge of
LD, a test pattern displaying all 1s can be written to the shift register which will be used for the next error-detection test.
On the next falling edge of OEN, current is reduced to ILC. With the next rising edge of OEN the current will immedi-
ately increase to normal levels and the detailed error report can be read out entering error-detection mode.

Shutdown Mode
The AS1109 features a shutdown mode which can be entered via 4 clock pulses during error-detection mo de. To
enable the shutdown mode a 0 must be placed at SDI after the rising edge of the 3rd clock pulse.
To disable shutdown mode a 1 must be placed at SDI after the 3rd clock pulse. The shutdown/wakeup information will
be latched through if multiple AS1109 devices are in a chain. At the rising edge of the 4th clock pulse the shutdown bit
will be read out and the AS1109 wil l shutdown or wakeup.

9 Application Information
Error Detection
The AS1109 features two types of error detection. The error detection can be used on-the-fly, for active LEDs, without
any delay, or by entering into low-current diagnosis mode.
Error Detection On- T he-F l y
Error detection on-the-fly will output the status of active LEDs during operation. Without choosing an error mode this
will output the temperature flag at every input/output cycle. Triggering one clock pulse for open or two clock pulses for
short detection during error detection mode outputs the detailed open- or short-error report with the next input/output
cycle (see Figure 20). LEDs that are turned off cannot be tested and their digits at the error output must be ignored.
Figure 20. Normal Operation with Error Detection During Operation – 128 Cascaded AS1109s
Error Detection with Low-Current Diagnosis Mode
This unique feature of the AS1109 uses an internal all 1s test pattern for a flicker free diagnosis of all LEDs. This error
detection mode can be started anytime, and does not require any SDI input (see Figure 21 ).

AS1109
Data Sheet - A p p l ic a t i o n In f o r m a ti o n
Low-current diagnosis mode is started with 3 clock pulses during error detection mode. After the three pulses of CLK,
a pulse of LD loads the internal all 1s test pattern. Then OEN should be enabled for 2µs for testing. With the rising
edge of OEN the test of the LEDs is stopped and while LD is high the desired error mode can be selected with the cor-
responding clock pulses.
With the next data input the detailed error code will be clocked out at SDO.
Note: See Figure 22 for the use of an external test pattern.
Figure 22. Low-Current Diagnosis Mode with Ex ternal Test Pattern – 128 Cascaded AS1109s
Cascading Devices
To cascade multi ple AS1109 devices, pin SDO must be connected to pin SDI of th e next AS1109 (see Fi gure 23). At
each rising edge of CLK the LSB of the shift register will be written into the shift register SDI of the next AS1109 in the
chain. Data at the SDI pin is clocked in at the rising edge of the CLK pulse and is clocked out at the SDO pin 8.5 clock
cycles later at the falling edge of the CLK pulse.
Note: When n*AS1109 devices are in one chain, n*8 clock pulses are needed to latch-in the inp ut data.

AS1109
Data Sheet - A p p l ic a t i o n In f o r m a ti o n
Constant Current
In LED display applications, the AS1109 provides virtu ally no current variations from chan nel-to-channel and from
AS1109-to-AS1109. This is mostly due to 2 factors:
! While IOUT 50mA, the maximum current skew is less than ±2% between channels and less than ±2% between
AS1109 devices.
! In the saturation region, the characteristics curve of the output stage is flat (see Figure 5 on page 7). Thus, the out-
put current can be kept constant regardless of the variations of LED forward voltages (VF).
Adjusting Output Current
The AS1109 scales up the reference current (IREF) set by external resistor (REXT) to sink a current (IOUT) at each out-
put port. As shown in Figure 3 on page 7 the output cur ren t i n th e sa tu ration region is extre me ly fl a t so th at it is po ssi -
ble to define it as target current (IOUT TARGET). IOUT TARGET can be calculated by:
VREXT = 1.253V (EQ 1)
IREF = VREXT/REXT (if the other end of REXT is connected to ground) (EQ 2)
IOUT TARGET = IREF*15 = (1.253V/REXT)*15 (EQ 3)
Where:
REXT is the resistance of the external resistor connected to pin REXT.
VREXT is the voltage on pin REXT.
The magnitude of current (as a function of REXT) is around 100mA at 186Ω, 50.52mA at 372Ω and 25.26mA at 744Ω.
Figure 3 on page 7 shows the relati onship curve between the IOUT TARGET of each channel and the corresponding
external resistor (REXT).
Package Power Dissipation
The maximum allowable package power dissipation (PD) is determined as:
PD(MAX) = (TJ-TAMB)/RTH(J-A) (EQ 4)
When 8 output channels are turned on simultaneously, the actual package power dissipation is:
PD(ACT) = (IDD*VDD) + (I OUT*Duty*VDS*8) (EQ 5)
Therefore, to keep PD(ACT) PD(MAX), the allowable maximum output current as a function of duty cycle is:
IOUT = {[(TJ-TAMB)/RTH(J-A)]-(IDD*VDD)}/VDS/Duty/8 (EQ 6)
Where:
TJ = 150ºC
Delayed Outputs
The AS1109 has graduated delay circuits between outputs. These delay circuits can be found between OUTNn and
constant current block.
The fixed delay time is 20 ns (typ) where OUTN0 has no delay, OUTN1 has 20ns delay, OUTN2 has 40ns delay ...
OUTN7 has 140ns delay. This delay prevents large inrush currents, which reduce power supply bypass capacitor
requirements when the outputs turn on (see Figure 12 on page 10)
Switching-Noise Reduction
LED drivers are frequently used in switch-mode applications which normally exhibit switching noise due to parasitic
inductance on the PCB.
Load Supply Voltage
Considering the package power dissipation limits (see EQ 4:6), the AS1109 should be operated within the range of
VDS = 0.4 to 1.0V.
For example, if VLED is higher than 5V, VDS may be so high that PD(ACT) > PD(MAX) where VDS = VLED - VF. In this case,
the lowest possible supply voltage or a voltage reducer (VDROP) should be used. The voltage reducer allows
VDS = (VLED -VF) - VDROP.
Note: Resistors or zener diodes can be used as a voltage reducer as shown in Figure 24.
