Folks, When I was in Shanghai recently I found some very cool RGB LED ribbon lights. The ribbon is populated with one 16 pin surface mount chip every 3cm or so. Each chip has 2 high brightness RGB LED's hooked to it. The chips are an HL 1606 which I believe is made by Wuxi ASIC corp in Wuxi province of China. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a spec sheet on this chip despite many days looking. Based on scope observations, the signaling is quite complex and contains color, ramp and brightness info in some complicated frame format on a
5 wire interface which I believe is SPI. Does anyone know this chip.. or knowwhere I can find a data sheet and perhaps some app notes ? I'm hoping to clone the simple PIC based controller I bought with it. Thanks very much for any help or leads...
