Würth Elektronik Unveils RGB LEDs with Built-in Controllers for Signal Regulation Systems
Würth Elektronik Unveils WL-ICLED: Intelligent RGB LEDs for Simplified Display Solutions
Würth Elektronik, a leading innovator in electronic components, introduces the WL-ICLED series, a groundbreaking range of RGB LEDs with integrated controllers (ICs). These intelligent LEDs revolutionize display design by combining red, green, and blue LEDs with a programmable controller IC in a single, compact package.
Unparalleled Control and Flexibility
The WL-ICLED series offers exceptional control and flexibility for your display applications:
- Individual Pixel Control: Each LED within the WL-ICLED series functions as a controllable pixel, allowing you to independently adjust its color and brightness (0-100%) for customized lighting effects.
- 16.7 Million Color Possibilities: Unleash a vast spectrum of color with over 16 million possible color and brightness combinations to bring your display visions to life.
- Open-Source Compatibility: Seamlessly integrate the WL-ICLED series into your projects with support for popular open-source libraries like FastLED, streamlining development and customization.
Simplified Design, Enhanced Performance
The WL-ICLED series offers a multitude of benefits that simplify design and enhance performance:
- Reduced Component Count: By integrating the controller IC directly into the LED, the WL-ICLED series eliminates the need for separate resistors and other discrete components, minimizing board space requirements and simplifying your overall display design.
- Compact Footprint: Available in four space-saving designs (2020 Chip LED compact, 3210 Chip LED Side View, 2121 PLCC6 with bypass, and 5050 PLCC4), the WL-ICLED series caters to applications with limited space constraints.
- Superior Solderability: Gold and silver coatings on the 'Chip LED' and PLCC models, respectively, ensure exceptional solderability for a robust and reliable connection.
Applications Across Diverse Industries
The versatile WL-ICLED series is ideal for a wide range of display applications, including:
- Signal Control Systems: Create clear and informative displays for control panels and user interfaces.
- Full-Color Matrix Displays: Develop high-resolution, full-color displays for advertising, signage, and information dissemination.
- Audio and Gaming Systems: Enhance the user experience with dynamic lighting effects that respond to audio and game events.
- Indoor Lighting: Design innovative and customizable indoor lighting solutions.
- E-Mobility Charging Station Displays: Provide clear and informative displays for electric vehicle charging stations.
Enhanced Durability and Safety Features
The WL-ICLED series prioritizes both durability and safety:
- Lower Moisture Sensitivity: Compared to competing solutions, the WL-ICLED series boasts an MSL3 moisture sensitivity level, making them less susceptible to damage during assembly processes.
- Water Resistance: Select WL-ICLED models comply with IPx7 protection class, enabling them to withstand brief submersion without compromising functionality.
- Photobiological Safety Testing: All WL-ICLED models come with photobiological test reports according to EN 62471:2008 and IEC 62471:2006, ensuring compliance with safety regulations for applications like toys.
- AEC-Q102-003 Qualification: While not intended for the automotive industry, Würth Elektronik conducts AEC Q102-003 testing on the WL-ICLED series, providing customers with objectively verifiable specifications for comprehensive performance evaluation.
