Key features
- common-cathode PWM driving, VLEDR / VLEDGB power input
- Mirage Driving Engine solves 8 fine-pitch visual issues (ghosting, open caterpillar, cross effect, low-gray color shift, first dimming line, high-contrast couple, cross-plate couple, cross-plate gradient CCT)
- 120 channels / 48 scan (single chip up to 48 scan)
- 18-bit grayscale, visual refresh rate up to 15360Hz
- 16x grayscale refresh-rate increase; low-gray + high-refresh

- min. calibration pulse width 0.8ns
- power @dark 11.43uW/pixel, @white 13.23uW/pixel (40x48 dots)
Typical use: fine-pitch / Mini-LED indoor, 0.4-1.5mm pitch, common-cathode (up to 48 scan).
NovaStar receiving cards & firmware that drive the XM11206G
Important: each NovaStar receiving card ships several firmware versions, and each one supports a different group of pixel driver ICs paired with a group of row/scan decode chips — the version label selects the chip group, not a newer/older build. A panel is defined by both its driver IC and its decode/scan chip, so the firmware must list both. To drive the XM11206G, flash the exact version listed for your card below; a higher-numbered version meant for a different chip group will not work.
⚠️ Don't upgrade unless you have a reason to. Receiving-card firmware is not like a controller update that adds features — a higher number just means a different driver-IC group. If your screen works, leave it alone; only re-flash to match a different driver IC.

Frequently asked questions
What is the XM11206G LED driver IC?
The XM11206G is an LED display driver chip made by Xiamen Xm-Plus. It is a PWM (constant-current, pulse-width-modulated) driver used on the LED module to control each pixel's grayscale.
Does NovaStar support the XM11206G?
Yes — the XM11206G is in NovaStar's recognized driver-IC library, though it may require manual receiving-card configuration rather than Smart Settings. Exact support depends on your receiving card model and firmware; upload your config to our RCFGX viewer to confirm.
How do I find out which driver IC my LED panel uses?
Open your receiving card configuration file (.rcfgx) — it records the driver IC type and firmware version. Our free online RCFGX viewer reads this for you without installing NovaLCT.
