Overview

The Grove LED String Light is an expansion module designed to drive a 5-meter RGB LED string containing 50 individual LEDs. It utilizes the AIC1896 current-mode step-up DC-DC converter to provide stable power to the string while operating from a low-voltage input of 3.3V to 5V.

Why Choose This Part

The module includes a built-in AIC1896 step-up converter to ensure consistent brightness across all 50 LEDs from a standard 3.3V or 5V logic supply. The Grove system's 4-pin interface eliminates the need for soldering or complex wiring when connecting to a controller.

Applications

Decorative Lighting
Ideal for Christmas tree or room decorations requiring long-distance LED placement.
Visual Feedback Systems
Use the 5-meter string to provide status indicators or ambient lighting in large-scale prototypes.
Event Prototyping
Rapidly deploy party or event lighting using the plug-and-play Grove interface.
