SM16511 IC for addressable led modules smart chip Components
stars, based on 0reviews
This pixel protocol was designed by Sunmoon Microelectronics in China. It uses a non-differential DMX512 protocol to drive pixel chips. The PWM rate is 3300Hz by default but can be configured to run at 800Hz if desired. The control circuit can come in a SOP10/SOP16 package, depending on which functions are being used, allowing for more flexibility with LED choice.
Support
Note: When configuring your Pixel device, select 'DMX512' as your Pixel Type. This is the equivalent protocol that will allow you to use SM16511 pixels.
