Light strips can be seen everywhere in our daily life, especially addressable light strips. Because of its dreamy color, high flexibility and chasing flow effect, it has a wide range of applications, such as DIY home life, shopping mall decoration, building lighting, etc. This article mainly introduces you to the UCS2904 digital light strip.

UCS2904 RGBW 4 in 1 strip LED light is an external IC pixel LED strip, which can program constant LED driver current. It has 3 pins including positive, negative and data line. Usually made to DC12v. Built-in voltage regulator, add a resistor to IC VDD pin only when power is 24V. Regular is 30leds and 60leds per meter.
The actual model of the UCS2904 IC chip is UCS2904B, which is designed by China UCS New Technology Co., Ltd. It uses SPI protocol to drive IC pixel chip. While the UCS2904 offers all of the same features as its RGB counterpart, the UCS2904 IC can run 4 channels, controlling one more channel than traditional RGB solutions.

1) Widely used for decoration and lighting in hotels, clubs, shopping malls, etc.
2) KTV Bar Amusement decoration lighting.
3) Advertising sign board illumination.
4) Decorative lights for holiday, event, stage show, exhibition.
5) Applicable for automobile and bicycle trim, bezel or contour lighting.
1) A very high PWM rate of 1.80KHZ allows to capture pixels at 60fps.
2) Driving 4-color LEDs enables hues that were previously difficult to achieve with a single RGB strip.
3) RGB and white (any other single color) can be controlled independently, allowing us to create bolder, more vibrant colors than RGB alone.
1) 8-bit color resolution, 256 levels of grayscale per color, making the dimming curve less smooth.
2) The refresh rate of the No Clock data line is limited by the speed of the protocol, which is generally slower.
3) No more than 17mA/channel like UCS2903 can be 60mA max.
Very similar to SK6812 RGBW protocol/SM16704 protocol, but cannot work with these IC chips.
