Description

Specification:

Frequency: 40 - 1000Hz

Channel Number: 16 Channel

Resolution: 12 Bit

Voltage: DC 5 - 10V "Classic" Pin Mode Connection:

- +5V: VCC

- GND: GND

- Analog 4: SDA

- Analog 5: SCL Connection with MEGA Pins:

- +5V: VCC

- GND: GND

- Digital 20: SDA

- Digital 21: SCL Connection with Other Boards:

- +5V: VCC

- GND: GND

- SDA: SDA

- SCL: SCL

Note:

- The VCC pin only supplies power to the chip. If you want to connect a steering gear or LED lights, use the V+ pin to supply power. The V+ pin supports a power supply of 3.3 - 6V (Chip Safe Voltage: 5V). We recommend to use an external power supply through the power terminal.

Features:

- This one uses i2c communication, built-in PWM drive and a clock. This means that it will be very different from the TLC5940 series. You don't need to keep sending signals to occupy your microcontroller.

- It's 5V compatible, which means you can also control it with a 3.3V MCU and drive it safely to a 6V output (3.4+ positive voltage is fine when you want to control a white or blue indicator).

- 6 Address selection pins allow you to attach 62 driver boards to a single i2c bus for a total of 992 PWM outputs. That would be a huge resource.

- About 1.6Khz adjustable PWM output.

- For the stepper motor, the output is prepared at 12 bit resolution, which means that the update rate at 60Hz is able to achieve 4us resolution.

- Configurable push pull output or open circuit output.

- Output enable pin can quickly disable all outputs.

- Green Power indicator.

- You can insert 16 servo motors at a time in 4 sets of 3-pin connectors (servo motor plugs are slightly wider than 0.1, so you can fit 4 pairs of 0.1 connectors).

- Reverse polarity protection of input on junction board.

- A large capacitor is placed on the V+ line (which you will need in some cases). The maximum voltage of the
