KTD2061 – A Unique Method of Illumination Technical Article

PublishTime：2024-03-13

●In the world of lighting technology, LED drivers play a crucial role in ensuring efficient power management and control for LED lighting systems. The ultra-innovative and feature-rich RGB LED drivers from Kinetic Technologies’ 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. One standout product in this field is Kinetic Technologies’ KTD2061 Multi-Channel LED Driver. Incorporating advanced features, such as a unique LED configuration and independent fade engines, this driver offers a major size reduction and an unparalleled level of simplicity and flexibility for RGB lighting applications.
●In a typical RGB LED driver, all LEDs are connected to the input voltage in a common-anode configuration, and then the cathode of every LED is routed back to the driver with a separate trace. Thus, it would take 37 individual PCB traces to drive the 36 LEDs for a 12 RGB configuration. Kinetic’s unique RGB control scheme uses the LED itself as a multiplexing diode. This innovative arrangement of LEDs is employed with time-division multiplexing for a 3x reduction in PCB traces, requiring only 12 lines to drive all 36 LEDs!
●Unveiling the KTD2061 Multi-Channel LED Driver
■The KTD2061, developed by Kinetic Technologies, is a cutting-edge LED driver that stands out due to its innovative LED configuration, which drastically reduces size and simplifies layout. It is intended to drive 12 RGB modules (36 individual LEDs) simultaneously, with 36 independent fade engines for stunning lighting effects. By configuring the LEDs in a clever scheme that uses the diode function of the LEDs to block current when disabled, the part allows for a package that is three times smaller and a layout that uses three times less PCB traces. Because of this, the KTD2061 allows for the smallest and simplest design available in the industry. This unique LED arrangement is an elegant way to achieve a lower cost design that is smaller and easier to implement. The part uses three busses of four wires each, where each bus is time-multiplexed to drive 12 channels (4 RGBs) per bus.
