5 / 31 page  AN2841 Description of LED dimming 5/31 2 Description of LED dimming There are two categories of LED dimming: ● Analog: Uses a linear device to set the current flow through the LED. Advantages: Absence of digital noise; a simple implementation. Limitations: Color shift, low dynamics. ● Digital: Uses a switch to set nominal or zero current flow through the LED. Advantages: Accurate and fast color control. Limitations: The presence of digital noise and necessity to use a frequency high enough to prevent flickering; a complex implementation. This document focuses on digital dimming and the use of PWM (pulse width modulation) in common applications. When using PWM for lighting applications, the following rules must be kept in mind: ● For the LED light to be seen as non-flickering by the human eye, in most cases the PWM frequency must be higher than 100 Hz. ● The LED light brightness depends on the PWM duty cycle. The brightness depends on the resolution of the PWM duty cycle. Figure 1. PWM signal with 16 steps of possible voltage values Using a 4-bit PWM resolution, there can be 16 different light intensity (energy) values. Concerning color applications, 16 million (256 × 256 × 256) colors can be reached using tricolor LEDs with an 8-bit dimming resolution for each single color LED.
