TUOZHAN’s small 4-pin pixel, 1.72 x 2.0 mm by the drawing (LCSC lists it as 2020). Pin positions: DIN top-left, GND top-right, VDD bottom-left, DOUT bottom-right in the pin diagram.

Datasheets disagree: the sheet’s model-code explanation says “3528 package size” and the pin diagram and structure drawing are for a 1.72 x 2.0 mm body, not 3528 or 2020; the feature text says SMD 2020. The drawing is used for dimensions. The output-pin withstand is 9 V here (7.5 V in the 3535 and 5050 sheets). The pin table is printed in the order 1 VDD, 2 DOU, 3 GND, 4 DIN and the diagram puts the pads where that order runs counter-clockwise from the bottom-left. Pad dimensions are approximate.

Outline and pin positions checked against the manufacturer datasheet (C26159668 TZ-2020S2RGB-5V-I4-MS spec p4 (structure drawing) and p5 (pin diagram, pin table)). Pin 1 (VDD) is the bottom-left pad; numbering runs counter-clockwise; the cut corner is at pin 4 (DIN, top-left). Pad positions read from the page-4 drawing; the 1.00 mm pad pitch is the drawing's centre-to-centre dimension and the pad length is its 0.50 mm label. Approximate. What this means.

Compatibility

  • electrically similar TZ2812

    Same timing table, supply range, PWM figure and 12 mA default output as the TZ2812 sheet. The sheets give the IC three names: TZ1815 (3535 sheet, which also writes TZ-1815), TZ-1815 (3528 and 2020 sheets) and HC-1815 (0807 sheet, and the "2020 HC-1815" product name on the 2020 sheet). Whether these are one die or several is not stated. source ↗

  • electrically similar SK6812

    Inferred from the printed numbers only; no TUOZHAN sheet names SK6812. The OPSCO SK6812 2025 sheet's typical timing (T0H 320, T0L 800, T1H 700, T1L 200 ns) falls inside all four TZ1815 windows, and both send 24 bits GRB. TZ1815 resets after 80 us where the 2025 SK6812 sheet asks for more than 200 us. source ↗

  • electrically similar of this TZ2812

    The TZ-1815 / HC-1815 sheets from the same company print an identical timing table, supply range, 4 kHz PWM and 12 mA default output. The two names are the maker's; no sheet says one replaces the other.

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.
