A perfectly sized pack of vibrant SMD GlowBit LEDs ready to be used in your PCB designs!
Read moreWhen a new RGB value is sent to a GlowBit, what is the timing for update of the LED? The attached datasheet includes data transfer timing, but not display timing.
Hey there, @Sir70059.
Its not really a timing spec so much as it is the reset period of a WS2812-style LED.
For the GlowBit LED, it’s 24 bits per LED. WS2812B timing is commonly 1.25 µs/bit / 800 kbps, so that’s roughly 30 µs per LED for data. The GlowBit v5 datasheet linked on the product page:
So for one LED, that’s about 30 µs + >280 µs, before the visible change should happen on the LED’s next internal PWM cycle.
Ah, OK. So given the 2kHz PWM cycle, that means up to an additional 500 µs, right? I’m asking because I have a high-speed light chaser application in mind, and knowing the timing is important for keeping down jitter.
