General Description
APA102 is a type ic for the three color RGB Diming control strip and string,This ic
using the CMOS process to provide three-color RGB LED output driver to adjust the output
with 256 gray scale and 32 brightness adjustment,APA with 2 signal output way , one is
clock ,another is data, the clock and data is synchronization,
so that the crystal cascade piece of output movement also synchronized.
so that the crystal cascade piece of output movement also synchronized.
Feature
CMOS process,low voltage ,low consumption
Synchronization of two-lane
Choose positive output or negative RGB three-color LED output
8 bit(256 level) color set ,5bit(32 level) brightness adjustment
Build-20ma constant current output
With self-detection signal build in support for continuous oscillation PWM
output ,can be maintained static screen
Application
LED lamp
LED Strip ,led pixel module
LED billboard LED screen
