Drives 4 RGB/W LEDs with PWM for a total of up to 3 A controlled over an I2C bus.
Led driver is an open-source printed circuit board by j9brown, from the j9brown/led-driver repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 70 × 40 mm with 34 parts on 42 nets, routed with 423 tracks and 40 vias.
It is built around the DMN2041LSD, B5B-XH-AM and 746X101104JP, with the BM04B-SRSS-TB, RGEF300K-2 and SMF16A-E3-08 among its other parts. Its parts include 8 transistors, 7 connectors, 6 resistors, 4 capacitors and 1 IC. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards of this library.
Drives 4 RGB/W LEDs with PWM for a total of up to 3 A controlled over an I2C bus.
This design is based around a PCA9685 I2C PWM chip with 16 channels. Each channel drives an N-channel MOSFET low-side switch. Each group of 4 channels and a positive common rail feeds a JST XH 5-pin connector to which an RGB/W LED lamp may be attached.
The I2C bus must be referenced to the same ground as the negative input.
The board is designed for use with a 12 V nominal power supply but should work with anything from about 5 V to 16 V. It includes a 3 A polyfuse and transient voltage suppression. In case of reverse polarity connection, the TVS shunts the power input across the polyfuse.

It measures 70 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
34 parts, built around the DMN2041LSD, B5B-XH-AM, 746X101104JP and BM04B-SRSS-TB. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the j9brown/led-driver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/led-driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/led-driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
