5. Typical Application Design Guide
5.1. Cascade and refresh rate calculations.
The system refresh rate is directly related to the number of pixel dots. 800KHz communication rate as an example:
• Each pixel (WRGB) needs to transmit 32-bit PWM data, which takes 40 μs.
• If the system contains 1000 pixels, the single refresh time is 40ms, and the refresh rate is 25Hz, which meets most dynamic display requirements.
5.2. Power Supply Configuration and Resistance Selection
Configure the VDD series resistance based on the supply voltage (DC):
• 6V power supply is recommended to connect 50Ω resistors in series;
• 12V power supply recommended in series 650Ω resistance;
• 24V power supply is recommended to connect 1.8kΩ resistors in series.
5.3. Constant current optimization and thermal management
In order to ensure that the chip works in the best state, the OUT port voltage is recommended to be controlled between 1.2V and 3V. High voltage will lead to increased chip power consumption, serious heat, affecting the system life. In the design, voltage regulation can be achieved through series resistance or optimized LED series connection.
5.4. Expanding the flow scheme.
For larger drive currents, four OUT ports can be used in parallel. For each parallel connection, the maximum output current increases by 38mA, and the maximum output current can reach 152mA after four full parallel connections. This method requires software cooperation to set four sets of register values respectively to realize accurate current control and high brightness drive.
CXLE87132B For each OUT port, if the user needs to expand the driving current, the four OUT ports of WRGB can be shorted and used, each shorted
For each OUT port, the maximum constant current value will be increased by 38mA, and the maximum constant current value can reach 152mA after all four OUT ports are shorted. This method requires software
At the same time, with the control, write four sets of register values, can achieve accurate current control and larger drive current.
