TX1818 in the six-pad 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.36 mm package, G-type pin allocation (with a backup data input). 12 V supply, 9 mA per channel, RGB order, version A2 dated 2023-03-27. Pins (p5): 1 GND, 2 DIN, 3 FDIN (cascade backup signal input), 4 VDD, 5 NC, 6 DO. The H-type sheets (tx1818-3535-6p-h) use the same package with different pins, so the same 3.5 mm part number prefix does not guarantee the same footprint use. The sheet text calls the package “3838”.

TX1818GWBJ-F01 has no datasheet on LCSC; listed by the shared IC code 1818 and package letter G (inference).

No datasheet is listed on LCSC for this SKU. Package, pin order and drawing are taken from the sibling sheet TX1818GLJ-F01 because both share IC code 1818 and package letter G; that is an inference from the part number, not something any sheet states. Drive current, timing window and the meaning of the remaining letters are not confirmed for this SKU. LCSC stock 995 on 2026-10-15.
