General Description
The AS1109 was designed to drive up to 8 LEDs through a fast serial interface and features 8 output constant current drivers and an on-chip diagnostic readback function.
The high clock-frequency (up to 30MHz), adjustable output current, and flexible serial interface makes the device perfectly suited for high-volume transmission applications.
