Datasheets disagree

The sources we hold state different values for the facts below. Rather than pick one quietly, both sides are listed with where each was read. Check the datasheet for the exact part number and revision you are buying. How this is shown.

Package drawing

Pages 2 to 4 of the WS2812E-2020 sheet carry a WS2812E-1313 header, so the 2020 outline is not reliably documented.

What we show. No outline is read from this sheet: the drawing is by convention and the dimensions are left blank. Treat it as a copy-paste slip in WorldSemi’s PDF until a corrected sheet is found.

The sheet lists pins VDD(1), DOUT(2), GND(3), DIN(4) - the 1313 order, not the WS2812B-2020 half-moon order - and its page 2 is headed WS2812E-1313 with the 1313 drawing, so the pad layout for the 2020 is not reliably documented. LCSC lists the package as 2.2 x 2 mm. Dimensions are left null.

Outline drawn from the package family and the recorded dimensions; not yet checked against a datasheet. Pad sizes are approximate. The sheet's page 2 is a WS2812E-1313 drawing under a 2020 header, so no 2020 outline could be read. Drawn by convention. What this means.

Compatibility

  • protocol compatible WS2812B-V5

    Identical datasheet timing windows, pin count (4) and supply range. Independent measurement has not been done; E and B differ in IC drive current (12-12.5 mA) and packages (the E exists in 1313, 2020, 2427, 3535-class MINI and 4020). source ↗
