Multi-Channel Linear RGB drivers offer benefits like precise color mixing, uniform color distribution, wider color depth, and a large dynamic range of brightness, making them suitable for applications requiring complex color control and high-quality lighting. It also provides a simple design without the use of inductors that save eBOM cost and minimize EMI/EMC.
Overview
Attend this webinar to discover the benefits offered by multi-channel linear RGB drivers, such as precise color mixing, uniform color distribution, wider color depth, and a large dynamic range of brightness, making them suitable for applications requiring complex color control and high-quality lighting. The technology provides a simple design without the use of inductors that save eBOM cost and minimize EMI/EMC.
This group of linear RGB drivers have programmable registers with digital I2C/SPI interface. Built-in registers have three RGB banks (A, B, C) for software control of each color and enable easy device customization. We’ll explain how these features provide independent color-mixing per channel and an independent 6-bit brightness control register per RGB module.
Other key performance enhancements of interest include 3-bit dithering function to enhance PWM dimming resolution, diagnostic fault registers with a fault flag pin, individual fault mask registers, shutdown mode of 1µA current (max) and automatic power-saving mode of 15µA (max) when all LEDs are off for >30ms.
Key Takeaways
- Learn about the diagnosis and protection functions included with fault flag pin
- Discover how these RGB drivers enable deep PWM dimming resolution to 0.0244%
- Apply these units to support high current up to 70mA max per channel
- Explore the merits of the 3-bit dither function and dual I2C/SPI interface
- Effectively support Vio pin to sync with the MCU power rail
