IC Chip Pixel Protocol Overview: UCS512C4

UCS512C4 offers all the same features as its RGB version, UCS512C3, but it is 4 channels output which is dedicated to RGBW design. It comes in a SOP16 package.

UCS512C4 Technical Specifications:

Data TypeA,B signal
Color Resolution8 bits
IC packageSOP16
RGBYes
RGBWYes
Output Voltage5-24V
Output Current3-60mA/Channel
PWM Rate3.6KHZ
Refresh Rateup to 120 fps
Data transfer Speed200-750kbps

UCS512C4 Advantages:

  • Very High PWM rate 3.6KHZ allows for filming the pixels with around 120fps appromately.
  • External output constant current adjustable resistor, current range 3~60mA per channel to choose.
  • Presence of white LED allows for be independently controlled to create bolder and more vibrant colors than with RGB alone.
  • When write DMX512 address via the DMX512 address writer, no need to connect the address cable.
  • Maximum distance to write DMX address code is no relationship with the PI cable distance.
  • The UCS512C4 has a PWM reverse polarity frequency reduction output, allowing for external high current driver devices.

UCS512C4 Shortcomings:

  • 8 bits of color resolution, 256 grayscale for each color makes dimming curves less smooth.
  • Couldn’t wirte DMX512 address automatically.

Introduction to Gamma Curves in LED pixel tapes application

Gamma is an important but seldom understood characteristic of virtually all digital imaging systems. It defines the relationship between a pixel’s numerical value and its actual luminance. Without this gamma, shades captured by digital cameras wouldn’t appear as they did to our eyes (on a standard monitor).
