PCA9685 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver - I2C interface

The 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver with I2C interface PCA9685 is a versatile module designed to provide precise control over multiple PWM outputs. It's a perfect fit for projects involving robotics, automation, lighting control, and servo motor control.This module supports both Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms. If you want to make a robot which has lots of moving parts or if you want to control too many LEDs with PWM outputs, then the limited PWM outputs of your microcontroller would be a big problem for you.To overcome this problem, the only thing you should do is to get a 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver. You can control 16 free-running PWM outputs with 16-Channel 12-Bit PWM/Servo Driver using only 2 pins. You can even chain up 62 breakouts to control up to 992 PWM outputs.It’s an I2C-controlled PWM driver with a built-in clock. That means you do not need to continuously send it to signal to tie up your microcontroller.It is 5V compliant, which means you can control it from a 3.3V microcontroller and still safely drive up to 6V outputs. This is good when you want to control white or blue LEDs with 3.4+ forward voltages. 6 address select pins so you can wire up to 62 of these on a single I2C bus, a total of 992 outputs.Features:Multiple ChannelsHigh ResolutionI2C InterfaceAdjustable PWM FrequencyVoltage CompatibilityCompact DesignVersatile ApplicationsConfigurable push-pull or an open-drain outputThe output enable pin to quickly disable all the outputsTerminal block for power inputReverse polarity protection on the terminal block inputGreen power-good LED3 pin connectors in groups of 4 so you can plug in 16 servos at onceChainable designA spot to place a big capacitor on the V+ line220-ohm series resistors on all the output lines to protect them, and to make driving LEDs trivial.This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit address between 0x60-0x80, selectable with jumpers.Specifications:Supply Voltage: 2.3V to 5.5VNumber of Channels: 16 PWM channelsResolution: 12-bit (4096 steps)PWM Frequency: Configurable up to approximately 1.6 KHzCommunication Interface: I2C (7-bit address between 0x60 to 0x80)Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°CDimensions (LxWxH): 62x25x15mm Power Input: Terminal block for convenient power connectionLED Indicators: Power and activity LEDs for visual feedbackCompatibility: Works seamlessly with popular development platforms like Arduino and Raspberry PiPackage Includes:1 x 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver I2C interface PCA9685
