The TM1814 LED strip is a high-quality addressable LED strip light that is perfect for creating stunning lighting effects in a wide range of applications.
This TM1814 pixel protocol was designed by Titan Micro Electronics in China. It is an improved design of its previous version, TM1804, offering RGBW capability as well as a faster PWM. The control circuit comes in a SOP8 package, allowing for more flexibility with LED choice.
TM1814 is a 4-channel constant current LED driver IC, including three constant-current output terminals, 256-level grayscale adjustment, and maximum support for DC24V input voltage. the maximum PWM refresh frequency is up to 1000Hz, and it provides an output channel current misalignment processing method that can reduce electromagnetic interference and power supply clutter.
Similar as UCS2904 ,it has no break continue function , it you need RGBW addressable LED strip with signal backup you may choose UCS7604 or TM1934 LED strip.
TM1814 RGBW Adressable RGB LED Strip
Features of TM1814 LED Strips
Addressable RGBW: TM1814 RGBW LED strip allows you to control LED strips every 3 or 6 LEDs, 3leds as a control unit is 12v and 6leds is 24v.
High Color Depth: The TM1814 IC supports 8-bit color, providing a high color depth that can produce millions of colors for smooth color transitions and gradients.
Wide Voltage Range: TM1814 DC12V/24V LED strips operate on a wide voltage range, typically between 12V and 24V, If you need 5v , we can custom making as well.
Waterproof Options: Waterproof versions (IP65/IP67/IP68) of TM1814 LED tape lights are available, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations

FAQ about TM1814 Addressable LED Strip
1. What is the main difference between TM1814 strips and other addressable LED strips?
The main difference between TM1814 strips and other addressable LED strips is the TM1814 IC is 4 channels instead of 3 channels such as WS2811, WS2812, WS2813 , WS2815, WS2818.
2. Can I use an Arduino or Raspberry Pi to control TM1814 LED tapes?
Yes, you can use popular microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi to control TM1814 LED tapes by programming custom lighting effects and animations.
3. How do I power my TM1814 digital strip?
To power your TM1814 digital strip, you’ll need a power supply that provides the correct voltage (typically between 5V and 24V) and sufficient power based on the strip’s length, total LED count, and power consumption per LED.
4. Can I use TM1814 LED strips outdoors?
Yes, you can use waterproof versions IP67 of TM1814 pixel LED strips for outdoor installations. Ensure that you properly protect the power supply and any connections from moisture and other outdoor elements.
5. What should I do if my TM1814 flexible LED strip is flickering or not working properly?
If your TM1814 LED strip is flickering or not working properly, check for loose or damaged connections, insufficient power supply, incorrect voltage, or faulty LEDs and ICs. Identifying and addressing these issues can often resolve the problem and restore the strip’s functionality.
Comparing TM1814 Strips to Other Addressable LED Strips
TM1814 vs WS2812B
TM1814 strips support a wider voltage range, making them more versatile in different applications. TM1814 can make DC12v and DC24v RGBW addressable LED strip white WS2812B can only make DC5v RGB LED strip.
On the other hand, the WS2812B LED strip is generally more widely available and may be more affordable than the TM1814 LED strip. It is also a popular choice for DIY projects and smaller installations, as it is relatively easy to work with and program.
TM1814 vs SK6812
TM1814 LED strips can make DC12v and DC24v RGBW LED strip , white SK6812 can only make DC5v LED strip. TM1814 is external IC white SK6812 is only built-in IC.
