Datasheets disagree: the title and cover call it a ‘4-Pin’ 2020 LED, but the pin table and both drawings show six pads (DIN1, GND, DIN2, NC, VDD, DOUT). Pin positions follow the 6-pad figure. The TB variant has two data inputs (DIN1 on the top-left pad, DIN2 on the bottom-left pad) next to the single DOUT. The sheet’s feature list is the same as the TA sheet and never mentions a second input; no backup function is claimed, so both are recorded as plain data inputs. Timing window T0H 0.2 / 0.24 / 0.4 us, T1H 0.62 / 0.74 / 1.0 us. LCSC stock 0 on 2026-10-15.

Compatibility

  • protocol compatible SK6812

    The four typical values of the older sheets (T0H 300, T0L 900, T1H 600, T1L 600 ns, reset 80 us, GRB, 24 bit, MSB first) are the same numbers the sk6812 protocol records from the OPSCO SK6812 rev. 02 sheet, so the framing and timing are interchangeable on those sheets. None of the Inolux sheets mentions SK6812 or WS2812 by name. The newer windowed sheets move the typical T1H to 640-900 ns, and the PI55TA and PI3210 sheets ask for a reset of 200 us, so this is protocol-compatible, not a clone claim. source ↗

  • protocol compatible of this Inolux PI dual-signal (single-trace IC with BIN)

    Same single-trace code, timing windows and GRB frame as inolux-pi (PI33TC sheet, p5-6); the only difference the sheet documents is the second data input BIN that lets the chain 'continue transmission' past a dead pixel.

Dating evidence

Nobody announces these parts, so this records what we can actually cite rather than a release date. Library support proves only that the part existed by that date.
