Able to
illuminate 8 RGB-LEDs with single IC
TOKYO - Friday, February 15th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE/ME
NewsWire)-- Toshiba Corporation(TOKYO:6502) today announced that
it has launched an LED driver for LED display and illumination equipment that
can illuminate 8 RGB-LEDs with a single IC. Samples are available now and mass
production is scheduled for March 2013.
The new product, TB62D612FTG,
supports common anode LED control systems and is embedded with a 7-bit PWM gray
controller and a 24ch constant-current driver. The constant-current circuit is
divided into 3 blocks of 8chs. The electric current of each block can be
configured individually by an external resistor, making it ideal for driving
RGB-LEDs. Additionally, the address of the driver IC can be set with 3 ID
terminals and up to 64 ICs can be controlled individually. PWM gray level and
address selection is configured by an address control interface, supporting
simpler wiring that saves space on the circuit board. A Toshiba developed
circuit to counteract aerial discharge is used to improve noise
characteristics.
