LPD8803 Pixel Protocol
A clocked, individually addressable RGB LED protocol with integrated IC, offering 7-bit color resolution per channel for smoother gradients than LPD6803.
Overview
LPD8803 uses a two-wire (data and clock) interface, typically at 5V, and supports higher PWM rates and faster refresh, making it suitable for applications requiring better color mixing and longer runs. Its protocol allows for more precise color control and improved dimming compared to earlier LPD chips.
