LED full color decorative lighting, such as LED string, LED strip, LED module etc.
Indoor/outdoor LED video or irregular screen, LED pixel lights and other kinds of LED lighting products.
General description
WS2814A is a 4-channel LED control driver chip. Its internal includes intelligent digital port data latch and signal
reshaping amplification drive circuit. Also include a precision internal oscillator and a 20V voltage programmable
constant current output drive.
WS2814A adopts single NZR communication mode. After the chip power-on reset, the DIN port receive data from
controller, the first IC collect initial 32bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which reshaping by the
internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade IC through the DO port. After transmission for
each chip, the signal to reduce 32bit. IC adopt auto reshaping transmit technology, making the chip cascade number is
not limited the signal transmission, only depend on the speed of signal transmission.
The data latch of IC depend on the received 24bit data produce different duty ratio signal at OUTR, OUTG, OUTB
port. All chip synchronous send the received data to each segment when the DIN port input a reset signal. It will receive
new data again After the reset signal finished. Before a new reset signal received, the control signal of OUTR ,OUTG,
OUTB port unchanged. IC sent PWM data that received justly to OUTR, OUTG, OUTB port, after receive a low voltage
reset signal the time retain over 280μs.
There are SOP8 and FSOP8 packages available.
