General Description
The WS2801 is a constant current LED driver. It is designed for indoor/ outdoor LED displays
and decorative LED lighting system. It is suitable for LED cascading applications. The WS2801
owns 3 output channels, each channel can drive a constant current up to 30mA. WS2081
contains serial shift registers, data latches, output registers, band gap reference voltage
generator, internal oscillator, and programmable constant output current drivers. The serial data
is read into the shift registers at the rise edge of the external clock. The data and clock output
buffers are designed for cascading another chip. The output polarity reverse function is designed
for driving high power LED by adapting the application circuitry. The WS2801 adopts the reliable
2-wire scheme, which features low EMI transport, very strong anti-interference ability, and
support hot-swap. The 2-wire control scheme can reduce the system cost; it is very suitable for
low cost LED decorative LED lighting systems.
WS2801 is available in SOP-14 packages, the operating temperature is -40~85℃
