Application figures:
Every output channel can drive a maximum load of
15W.
So one should take care when designing the load
configuration.
The load per channel can easily be calculated by
adding the power consumption of each led connected to the
specific channel.
To calculate the power of each led, one should
take the forward voltage drop of the LED used and multiply this
by the current going through it.
The forward voltage drop (VF) can be found in
the data sheet of the LED in question. Please note that VF is
always mentioned for a specific current through the LED.
Example 1, picture to the right: every channel
has
a load of: ( 3,42V * 0,35A) * 8 = 9,58W
Example 2, picture in lower right corner:
Ch1, red leds: (2,95V * 0,35A) * 12 = 12,39W
Ch2, green leds: (3,42V * 0,35A) * 12 = 14,36W
Ch3, blue leds: (3,42V * 0,35A) * 12 = 14,36W
