5、 Data refresh rate calculation
CXLE87194 requires 24 bit data transmission for each pixel point (RGB three channel). At a communication rate of 1.2MHz, with a period of 830ns per bit, the transmission time for one pixel is approximately 20 seconds. The relationship between the number of cascaded pixels in the system and the refresh rate is as follows:
| Pixel count | Refresh time (ms) | Refresh rate (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
| 1~500 | ten | one hundred |
| 1~1000 | twenty | fifty |
| 1~2000 | forty | twenty-five |
Users can flexibly adjust the number of cascades and refresh rate according to actual project requirements.
The data refresh time is calculated based on how many pixels are cascaded in a system, with a set of RGB typically consisting of one pixel (or segment),
A CXLE87194 chip can control a set of RGB.
Calculate according to normal mode:
The 1-bit data period is 830ns (frequency 1.2MHz), and one pixel data includes 24 bits of R (8-bit), G (8-bit), and B (8-bit),
The transmission time is 830ns× 24≈ 20μs。 If there are a total of 1000 pixels in a system, the time to refresh all displays at once is 20 seconds
× 1000=20ms, The one second refresh rate is: 1÷ 20ms=50Hz。
The following is a table of the highest data refresh rate corresponding to cascading points:
6、 Electrical characteristics and reliability
• Operating Temperature:-40℃ ~ +85℃
• ESD protectionHuman body mode 4000V
• Output current range:2mA ~ 25mA
• quiescent currentTypical 0.8mA (low-power design)
The chip is equipped with a power on reset circuit, which initializes all registers to zero and outputs a light off state after power on, ensuring safe system startup.

The high-level time must comply with the corresponding numerical range in the table above;
(2) When no reset is required, the low-level time between bytes should not exceed 25 seconds, otherwise the chip may reset and then receive data again, making it impossible to achieve data
Correctly transmitted.
6.6. Functional Description
6.6.1 display data
After the chip is powered on and reset, it begins to receive display data. After receiving 24 bits, the DO port starts forwarding data that continues to be sent from the DIN or FDIN end,
Provide display data for the next cascaded chip. Before forwarding data, the DO port remains at a low level. If the DIN or FDIN input resets
Reset signal, the OUT port of the chip will output a PWM waveform with corresponding duty cycle based on the received 24 bit display data, and the chip will wait for connection again
Receive new data, and after receiving the initial 24 bit data, forward the data through the DO port. Before the chip receives the Reset signal, R、
G. The original output of B remains unchanged.
The chip adopts automatic shaping and forwarding technology, and the signal will not be distorted or attenuated. For all cascaded chips, the data transmission cycle is
coincident.
6.6.2 A complete frame of data structure

D1、D2、D3、D4、… … 、 Dn is the PWM setting command for each chip.
Reset indicates a reset signal, low level is valid.
6.6.3 Dn's data format

Each PWM setting command contains 8× 3 bits of data, high bits are sent first.
R [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of R output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels.
G [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of G output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels.
B [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of B output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels.
6.6.3 Data reception and forwarding

Among them, S1 is the data sent by the Di port of the controller, and S2, S3, S4, and Sn are the data forwarded by the cascaded CXLE87194.
Controller Di and Fi2 port data structure: D1D2D3D4… … Dn;
Controller Fi Port Data Structure: DxD1D2D3… … Dn;
Among them, Dx is any 24 bit data bit.
The process of chip cascading and data transmission and forwarding is as follows: the controller sends data S1, chip 1 absorbs D1, and if there is no reset at this time
Signal, chip 1 will continue to forward the data sent by the controller; Chip 2 absorbs D2. If there is no Reset signal at this time, chip 2
We will continue to forward the data sent by chip 1. Repeat this process until the controller sends a Reset signal, completing a data refresh cycle,
The chip has returned to the receiving preparation state. Reset low level is effective. If the low level is maintained for more than 80 seconds, the chip will be reset.
