UCS2904 LED Strip
UCS2904 pixel protocol was designed by Lianxinke in China. UCS2904 offers all the same features as its RGB version, UCS2903, but is dedicated to RGBW. The control circuit comes in a SOP8 package, allowing for more flexibility with LED choice.
UCS2904 LED strip greyscale is 256, PWM is 1800Hz, and voltage can be DC5v DC12v, and DC24v.
The UCS2904 RGBW LED strip is a 4-channel LED strip, which allows for control of red, green, blue, and white LEDs. With precise control of each group of LEDs (3LEDs 12v or 6LEDs 24v), the UCS2904 RGBW LED strip allows for dynamic and customizable lighting effects. UCS2904 LED strip offers high quality, versatility and customization for residential or commercial LED lighting projects.
In addition to the UCS2904 LED strip, Suntechlite offers a variety of addressable RGBW LED strips. Include but not limited to WS2813, WS2814, SK6812, TM1814, TM1824, SM16704, UCS2904, and DMX512-controlled RGBW LED strips.
Compared to the single-signal SK6812, TM1814, and TM1824 RGBW ICs, the UCS2904 IC offers a higher PWM frequency and refresh rate, and a faster color change response.
Unlike ordinary RGBW strips, the UCS2904 RGBW addressable LED strip follows digital data signal instructions, programmed through an ARGBW (Addressable RGBW) IC. Addressable RGBW LED strips can display a wide range of color effects and achieve the desired effects for your specific project.

This strip uses an external UCS2904 IC for single wire data transmission. External ICs can dissipate heat better and tolerate higher voltages than built-in chips. Therefore they can be more stable and brighter under heavy loads. This digital strip works with a standard width PCB of 10mm and a stable DC 24V input. It has 60 high-brightness addressable RGBW LEDs evenly spaced along a one meter length.
