The TM1914A is a specialized IC designed for three-channel LED constant current driving with a single-wire interface. It features dual-channel digital inputs (DIN and FDIN) that can switch seamlessly, enabling cascading via the DO pin. External controllers can control the chip with just a single wire. The TM1914A integrates an MCU-based dual-channel single-wire digital interface, data latches, LED constant current drivers, and PWM brightness control circuits. With a built-in 5V regulator at the VDD pin and minimal external components required, it is ideal for LED decorative products such as light bars and point light sources. This product boasts high performance and reliable quality.
