Setting Greyscale Brightness
The brightness of each channel output can be adjusted using a 12 bits-per-channel PWM control scheme which results
in 4096 brightness steps, from 0% to 100% brightness. The brightness level for each output is calculated as:
GSn
%Brightness=
x 100
(EQ 4)
4095
Where:
GSn is the programmed greyscale value for OUTn (GSn = 0 to 4095);
n = 0 to 15 greyscale data for all outputs.
The device powers up with the following default seetings: GS = 4095 and DC = 63.
The input shift register shifts greyscale data into the greyscale register for all channels simultaneously. The complete
greyscale data format consists of 16 x 12 bit words, which forms a 192-bit wide data packet (see Figure 11).
Note: The data packet must be clocked in with the MSB first.

When pin MODE is tied to GND, the AS1112 enters greyscale data input mode. The device switches the input shift reg-
ister to 192-bit width. After all data is clocked in, the rising edge of the LD signal latches the data into the greyscale reg-
ister (see Figure 12).
All greyscale data in the input shift register is replaced with status information data (SID) after latching into the grey-
scale register.
