Kinetic Technologies’ highly Integrated drivers have an on-chip timing control unit, where LED blink rate, fade-in and fade-out are user-adjustable, resulting in unique color lighting patterns. The ultra-innovative and feature-rich RGB LED drivers from Kinetic Technologies’ R&D Playground™ provide functional utility, wow factor, and perceived luxury to enhance your product’s market appeal, all with the industry’s smallest footprints, fewest PCB traces, and lowest firmware overhead.
RGB LED Drivers ICs are used to generate and control 3 different voltages and currents required to illuminate RGB LEDs used as visual indicators in portable appliances such as Smartphones, Tablets, Smart WiFi Speakers and other portable appliances. 4-channel, 3-channel or 36-channel output options are available, suitable for RGBW or single and multiple RGB applications. Kinetic Technologies’ products are the smallest in the industry and are optimized for extremely low drop-out, functionality, minimal system power during processor standby-mode and can be programmed via either an ExpressWire™ or I2C interface. Recent Kinetic innovations are AutoBlinQ™, which can indicate a dead battery condition during charging without requiring information from the processor and BrightExtend™ that automatically reduces driver dropout.
