Default Dimming LED CAT 4101 drivers (5V) HELP !

Ok, so i’m locking for away to dim my LED drivers

My drivers are build out ot CAT 4101 chips, and need a 5V PWM signal to dim.

problem is, everything I find is all 0 to 10V, not 0 to 5V


is there anyone that has CAT 4101 driver chips thy dim, and if so how do thy do it.

- Rapid LED had there own version to dim light, but again 0 to 10V, I mailed them, and thy say I might be able not to supply it with 10V but with 5V, but thy cant guarantee it, so for now I’m not ordering it, because I want to be 100$ shore it is going to work.

- some also suggest to have it dimed by a ARDUINO based unit, problem it the ARDUINO is a bit out of my knowledge,

any help ore suggestions ??

for your info:

the drivers are 3 boards, each holding 2 sets of 4 chips, 2 boards (4 sets, 16 chips in total) will be my white, and 1 board (2 sets, 8 chips) will be my blue
