Common Anode and Common Cathode RGB LEDs

Common anode and common cathode RGB LEDs are both types of RGB LEDs used in electronic devices for color mixing and illumination.

In a common anode RGB LED, the anode (positive terminal) of all three individual LEDs (Red, Green, and Blue) are connected, while each cathode (negative terminal) is separate. This means that to illuminate a specific color, the cathodes of the desired LEDs are grounded, allowing current to flow through them and emit light.

On the other hand, in a common cathode RGB LED, the cathode of all three individual LEDs is connected, while each anode is separate. To produce a color, the anodes of the desired LEDs are connected to a voltage source, allowing current to flow and illuminate them.

In both types, the intensity of each color (Red, Green, and Blue) can be controlled independently to produce a wide range of colors by varying the amount of current flowing through each LED. Choosing between a common anode and a common cathode depends on the circuit design and compatibility with other components.
