The rgb led is a dynamic led because of the fact that it can light up to many different colors.
Rgb led controller circuit diagram.
The circuit below makes use of a remarkable device a power mosfet metal oxide silicon field effect transistor.
Mosfet here acts like an electronic relay that can switch from off to on in a very short time and requires a miniscule control signal.
As said the circuit is built around cd 4029 ic and a few other external components.
As per the suggested sequence format a simple design using a 4017 ic and a 4060 ic can be used for implementing the proposed rgb led controller circuit.
The finished module can be powered from any clean 5 volt dc supply source for driving the rgb led connected at the output of the circuit.
The rgb led module.
The type of rgb led we will use in this circuit is a common cathode rgb led.
We can switch up to 10 a dc in a few microsecond on type we use here.
We are building here a rgb bulb using red green and blue leds we just need to add a mechanism to control the brightness or intensity of these light individually to control the brightness we are using pwm pulse width modulation method with 555 time ic 555 timer ic can generate a pulse of variable width and width of pulse can control the duty cycle.
This is an led in which all the grounds of the leds are tied together common.
Referring to the shown diagram the 4017 ic and the 4060 ic are wired in a standard led chaser mode which is also quite popular with the name knight rider due to its specific running and.
