8.4 Shutdown Mode

The AS1106/AS1107 devices feature a shutdown mode, where they consume only 10µA (max) current. Shutdown mode is entered via a write to

the Shutdown Register (see Table 8). For the AS1106, at that point, all segment current sources are pulled to ground and all digit drivers are

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

The devices need typically 250µs to exit shutdown mode, and during shutdown mode the AS1106/AS1107 is fully programmable. Only the

display test mode (see page 11) 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 10) =

0.

1

Note:

If the AS1106/AS1107 is used with an external clock, Shutdown Register bit D7 should be set to 1 when writing to the Shutdown Regis-

ter.

8.5 Digit- and Control-Registers

The AS1106/AS1107 devices contain 8 Digit-Registers and 6 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.

Digit Registers – These registers are realized with an on-chip 64-bit memory. Each digit can be controlled directly without rewriting the

whole register contents.

Control Registers – These registers consist of decode mode, display intensity, number of scanned digits, shutdown, display test and fea-

tures selection registers.
