AS1116

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

Note:

Write operation: D14=0; Read operation: D14=1.

The Shutdown Register controls AS1116 shutdown mode.

Decode Enable Register (0x09)

The Decode Enable Register sets the decode mode. BCD/HEX decoding (either BCD code – characters 0:9, E, H, L,

P, and -, or HEX code – characters 0:9 and A:F) is selected by bit D2 (page 14) of the Feature Register. The Decode

Enable Register is used to select the decode mode or no-decode for each digit. Each bit in the Decode Enable Regis-

ter corresponds to its respective display digit (i.e., bit D0 corresponds to digit 0, bit D1 corresponds to digit 1 and so

on). Table 10 lists some examples of the possible settings for the Decode Enable Register bits.

Note:

A logic high enables decoding and a logic low bypasses the decoder altogether.

When decode mode is used, the decoder looks only at the lower-nibble (bits D3:D0) of the data in the Digit-Registers,

disregarding bits D6:D4. Bit D7 sets the decimal point (SEG DP) independent of the decoder and is positive logic (bit

D7 = 1 turns the decimal point on). Table 10 lists the code-B font; Table 11 lists the HEX font.

When no-decode mode is selected, data bits D7:D0 of the Digit-Registers correspond to the segment lines of the

AS1116. Table 12 shows the 1:1 pairing of each data bit to the appropriate segment line.
