Shutdown Mode
The AS1108 features a shutdown mode, consuming only 10µA (max) current. Shutdown mode is entered via a write to
the Shutdown Register (see Table 8). At that point, all segment current sources are pulled to ground and all digit driv-
ers are connected to V
Note: During shutdown mode the Digit-Registers maintain their data.
Shutdown mode can either be used as a means to reduce power consumption or for generating a flashing display
(repeatedly entering and leaving shutdown mode). For minimum supply current in shutdown mode, logic input should
be at GND or V
The device needs typically 250µs to exit shutdown mode, and during shutdown mode the AS1108 is fully programma-
ble. Only the display test mode (see page 10) overrides shutdown mode.
When entering or leaving shutdown mode, the Feature Register is reset to its default values (all 0s) when Shutdown
Register bit D7 (page 9) = 0. When bit D7 = 1, the Feature Register is left unchanged when entering or leaving shut-
down mode.
Note: If the AS1108 is used with an external clock, Shutdown Register bit D7 should be set to 1 when writing to the
Digit- and Control-Registers
The AS1108 contains four Digit-Registers and six control-registers, which are listed in Table 7. All registers are
selected using a 4-bit address word, and communication is done via the serial interface.
