QuinLED dig2analog+ specifications

Back to index page

The dig2analog+ is based on the WorldSemi WS2805 chip. This chip is used to “extract” the data for a single LED/Pixel and the board converts it to a PWM output able to drive 12v – 48v LED strips up to RGBCCT (RGB + Dual White).

The onboard circuitry has been carefully tuned to be both efficient and have great performance. Other similar type boards use cheap/simple circuits but the result is often sub-par in regards to high idle power usage, driving capability, board temperature or have inverted control logic.

The dig2analog+ uses a fully custom DC buck converter setup to eliminate idle usage together with carefully tuned resistor values enabling both very low PWM levels as well as a correct full 100% (no PWM) output at the high end. The special “dual” MOSFETs on the board auto invert the signal in hardware so you don’t have to worry about this in software and sending 0 is off, and 255 is full on.

Features

  • Uses newest WorldSemi WS2805 chip
    • Up to 5 channels output
      • Up to RGBCCT (Red, Green, Blue, Warm White, Cold White)
      • 3x 3A “RGB” channels
      • 2x 5A “White” channels
    • 4kHz PWM frequency
    • ws28xx protocol compatible
      • Makes it compatible with any software that can send a ws28xx signal such as WLED or ESPhome
    • Coupled with 33R output resistor
  • 12v – 48v compatible
    • Fused Output to LED strip with 6.3A replaceable fuse
      • This is also the maximum recommended board power
      • Replacing the fuse with a lower value fuse is fine and recommended if your setup/situation calls for it!
        • If you are only going to be running 1A or 2A max, best to use a fuse of that size
  • “Link through” and separate Power injection terminals available
  • Chainable up to max 400 per “data channel” recommended
    • That’s 2000 analog channels!
  • Uses special “dual” N-channel MOSFETs
    • No reversed/inverted data signal needed in software!
  • Data input side switcher
    • Allows you to change data in/out between top or bottom 3p terminals allowing the dig2analog to be used whatever orientation works best for your setup
      • Set the switch to the side that will receive the data
  • 4x M3 size screw holes to mount the board
  • 3D printable enclosure available!
