A slower-signalling relative of the SK6812. Uncommon in hobbyist supply. Seeded for family completeness; specifications are thin - see DATA-QUALITY.md.

FastLED records a 0 us reset for this part, which means “not specified in the driver” rather than “no reset required”. Treat with caution.

Clones & compatibility

“Compatible” is never stated bare here — each relationship carries how strong the claim is, and what bites if you assume too much.

Parts using this protocol

No package is catalogued for this protocol yet — it is seeded for family completeness, or it is a driver IC that drives external LEDs rather than shipping as an integrated package.

Dating evidence

Evidence, not a release date. A library commit proves the part existed by that date and says nothing about how long before.
