QuinLED-dig2analog pre-assembled specifications

Back to index page

The dig2analog is based on the WorldSemi WS2814F 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 or 24v LED strips up to RGBW.

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 eliminatie 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.
