General description
WS2812B is a intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a package
of 5050 components. It internal include intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit.
Also include a precision internal oscillator and a 12V voltage programmable constant current control part, effectively
ensuring the pixel point light color height consistent.
The data transfer protocol use single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receive
data from controller, the first pixel collect initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which
reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port. After
transmission for each pixel, the signal to reduce 24bit. pixel adopt auto reshaping transmit technology, making the pixel
cascade number is not limited the signal transmission, only depend on the speed of signal transmission.
RESET time>280μs , it won't cause wrong reset while interruption, it supports the lower frequency and inexpensive
MCU.
Refresh Frequency updates to 2KHz, Low Frame Frequency and No Flicker appear in HD Video Camera, it improve
excellent display effect.
LED with low driving voltage, environmental protection and energy saving, high brightness, scattering angle is large,
good consistency, low power, long life and other advantages. The control chip integrated in LED above becoming more
simple circuit, small volume, convenient installation.

Cautions
2.1. Dust & Cleaning
The surface of the LED is encapsulated with modified epoxy resin because it plays a very good role in protecting
the optical performance and aging resistance. The modified epoxy resin is easy to stick with dust and must be kept
clean. When there’s a certain amount of dust on the surface of the LED, it won’t affect brightness, but dust proof
should be taken care of. Promoting the use of unsealed package in preference to others and the assembled LEDs
should be placed in a clean container.
Avoid using the organic solvents to clean the dust on the LED surface and it’s necessary to confirm whether the
cleaning fluid will dissolve the LED.
Do not clean the LEDs by the ultrasonic. Some parameters affecting the LED performance must be evaluated if
have no alternative but to the ultrasonic cleaning method, such as ultrasonic power, baking time and assembly
conditions, etc.
2.2. Moisture-proof packaging
TOP SMD LEDs are moisture sensitive components. LEDs are packaged in aluminum foil bag to prevent the
from absorbing moisture during transport and storage. A desiccant is placed in the bags to absorb moisture. If the
LED absorbs moisture, then it evaporates and expands when in reflow process, which may break the colloid from
the bracket and damage the optical performance of LED. For this reason, moisture-proof packaging is to prevent the
from absorbing moisture during transport and storage. The moisture resistance rating of WORLDSEMI’s LED is:

2.3. Management after unpacking
It’s recommend to perform SMT assembly as soon as possible after opening the moisture-proof bag, and reflow
soldering should be completed within 4 hours after SMT assembly; for the remaining LEDs, they should be
re-packed in seal package and placed in moisture-proof cabinet (Please note that it’s necessary to rebake at
“70℃-75℃/48 hours” before next SMT process).
