Low-Dropout LED Drivers
Data Sheet
www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.5 1 - 13
1 General Description
The AS1101/AS1102/AS1103/AS110 4 are LED drivers
designed to match current source bias for any color
LED, including white and blue. The devices can drive up
to 4 high-current LEDs, and the LED current is program-
mable using an external resistor (RSET).
The AS1101 LED currents are 460 x ISET (per LED, typ)
at an LED cathode voltage (VSAT) of 150mV and 650 x
ISET (typ) at a VSAT of 1V, where ISET is the current
through RSET connected to pin CTRL.
The AS1102, AS1103, and AS1104 LED currents are
230 x ISET (per LED, typ) at a VSAT of 150mV and 325 x
ISET (typ) at a VSAT of 1V.
The AS1101, AS1102, and AS1104 incorporate a chip-
enable feature via pin ON. When the devices are dis-
abled, the supply current drop s to less than 1µA.
The AS1101, AS1102, and AS11 03 are available in a
6-pin SC70 package; the AS1104 is available in a 8-pin
MSOP package.

Data Sheet - Application Inform ation
8 Application Information
Figure 19. Typical Application Diagrams
Setting the LED Current
The current going into the LEDs is approximately OCMR times greater then the current ISET. LED current is controlled
by VSET and RSET (see Figure 19) according to the formula:
ILED = OCMR x (VSET - VCTRL)/RSET (EQ 1)
For VSET = 3V and a specific LED current, the value of RSET can be determined using the graphs shown in Figure 9,
Figure 10, and Figure 11 on page 7. For any other option, the value of ISET can be determined using the graph in
Figure 3 on page 6.
Note: LED brightness can also be adjusted by driving pin ENABLE or pin CTRL with a PWM signal.
