Enter to Win LED Driver with Animation Memory

Nice product with a cool focus market

This perfect World is re-designed by super cool devices indeed. Elmos E522.88 PWM Driver I bet everyone simply needs this Multichannel LED Driver.

I would like to use this device for prototyping in a photonic integrated circuit to induce waveguide heating for accurate phase array output. The target technology domain is Automotive. The specs fit and I would like to test the given driver for a dynamic environment such as in an autonomous vehicle

Thanks, this is great device!!

Curious to check out the output voltage range (i.e. how many series LEDs are needed/supported per channel).

100 mA per channel seems a little low. A brake light usually operates at 500mA-600 mA, and each light to be designed has to be driven separately, left and right hand.  Given a cascade or matrix of six LEDs for a brake light, as much as ten channels of each driver would be left unused. If the channels are independent, and that is a requirement in AM apps, the code to drive a single brake light would have to be reused six times (for six LEDs, if the channels can be controlled separately at all). Not exactly what a programmer loves. Moreover, for a complete brake light system for one car, three drivers will be necessary. And by the way: the only “animation” a brake light is allowed to perform is flashing. You surely would not use a 10 bit PWM for such a trivial application. But it might be a nice feature for a bar-type turn signal, although still overkill to use 10 bit. If ‘Different Light Functions per Device’ means that a controller can only control either a tail light or a turn light or a brake light, this might not be a flexible (and thus, cost-effective) solution to tackle the cost war in automotive applications. Read: lots of chips with some unused ressources, making parts expensive. Nice is the power zeroing feature, which of course has its main raison-d’ètre in keeping the life-expectancy of the LEDs high. But this is not a new thing. All modern drivers can do that.

I would like to use this IC to control multi-channel LED strings for use on offshore oil and gas platforms to drive the 15nm white identification lanterns.

Great product

Can this product be used with RGBA LED?

this is a great product

Hope to win.

that would be a cool device to have

The hardware has excellent features it is also good piece of hardware for next generation unmanned vehicles. It can be used from bikes to heavy vehicles. I would like to incorporate it my current project solar hybrid vehicle if I am the lucky winner of this giveaway.

I would like to use this driver for a Safety Robot application I am working on remotely. 100mA is on the lesser side though.
