Würth Elektronik has expanded its range of WL-ICLEDs – RGB-LEDs with integrated controller – to include dual-wire ICLEDs. The components are addressable as pixels and consist of a red, green, and blue LED, as well as a pre-programmed IC in one package. They allow data transmission up to 13 times faster than with single-wire ICLEDs. The dual-wire ICLEDs offer precise control in LED applications that require individual colour and brightness control, significantly simplifying the wiring complexity. The integrated sleep mode makes them even more energy efficient.
Würth Elektronik’s dual-wire ICLEDs not only allow precise control of LEDs, but also offer innovative features such as the integrated sleep mode that reduces current consumption to around 1 µA per ICLED when not in operation. This enables significantly more energy-efficient use, especially in battery-powered systems. In addition, the clock frequency of the data signal is freely adjustable up to 15 MHz for flexible and fast data transmission.
These intelligent LEDs can be individually controlled in their pixel colour across the full RGB spectrum and are digitally dimmable with 0 to 100% brightness levels. This makes them ideal for high-speed animation and flicker-free display. Applications include industrial displays and
HMI systems, full-colour matrix displays, signal control systems, as well as smart and decorative lighting solutions, or gaming peripherals.
