Component

DMX512LED driverRGBW4-channel16-bit PWMconstant currentSOP-16

TM512BC-SOP16 is a four-channel DMX512 LED driver for RGBW fixtures, combining a differential DMX receiver, EEPROM addressing, 16-bit PWM dimming, and adjustable constant-current sink outputs.

Best for

  • DMX512 RGBW LED fixtures
  • Addressable architectural lighting
  • Stage and decorative LED systems

Avoid if

  • Applications requiring confirmed RoHS or REACH documentation
  • Designs needing more than four independently controlled channels per IC
  • Systems that require DMX frame rates above 250 Hz

Check before use

  • Set the REXT resistor using the datasheet current equation.
  • Verify output dissipation and LED-string resistor values.
  • Keep the AI/BI differential bus topology and grounding consistent with the datasheet guidance.
