Recommended driver IC for 3W RGB Led?

Post by EscarII »

Hi all,

Loving the 3W RGB Led (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2524) and have had fun controlling it using PWM and high power resistors. However I'm looking for a more professional control system - can anyone recommend a good driver IC which works with these LEDs?

I've searched quite extensively but can only find led driver ICs for multiple LEDs in series or ones which require switching colour channels extensively. Any hints would be amazing. Thanks!

For single LEDs I usually just use MOSFETs or a small motor driver like the DRV8833.

Meanwell makes a selection of high-power LED drivers. You can find them at LED specialist sites such as RapidLED.
