APA102 LED CHIP
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 synchronizated ,so that the
crystal cascade piece of output movement is sychronizated .
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

(1) cascading data structure
Tabdem N-LED
Global bit:5 bit (32 level) brightness setting,while controlling R,G,B three-color constant current output value,if set the global bit for the 10000( 16/31 ) is
the output current is half again the original PWM settings

(2). The number of pixel per second sent to the CKI frequency (FCKI) minus the Start
Frame bit divided by the number 40 the number of LED Frame bit 32, if the CKI frequency(FCKI
) to 512KHZ. The pixel number (512000-40)/32=15998, if the 50 second update Views can be connected
in series LED number 15998/50=319. To increase the number of cascaded IC CKI frequency
(3).POLAR to empty ,R,G,B for the negative output;POLAR access VSS ,R,G,B is positive output
(4).VEN: self-detection
DATA field to the middle of 3 bit is B,G,R in the MSB of the opposite phase,otherwise regarded
as invalid data. VEN close to the empty when the self-detection; when VEN VSS then activated self-detection
(5).CSEL to empty when the CKO and CKI,RP:CSEL connected with VSS when the CKO compared with CKI.
