I'm looking for a LED IC that can control an entire LED strip (RGB, approx. 20LED) as a whole. I.e., the whole strip should behave like a neopixel in a WS2812b strip. I am thinking here of strips that have four connectors (R,G,B, GND) like this one:
At the end I need to control about 20 strips in total.
I already found the WS2811 IC. But I will probably not be able to connect 20LEDs to it because of the power consumption.
Electronics has to do with voltage and current...
But none of this I see in your post.
Additionally I miss what you mean with "control" .
No information whether you mean just ON/OFF, or brightness control. How many colors, what resolution, how many channels...

2A per color channel if I understand right. So you'll drive three MOSFET transistors, each capable of switching 12V/2A, to your Arduino and control the LED brightness by PWM.
