No datasheet names the driver IC or its maker: the sheets are Xinglight letterhead documents titled with the SKU only, so this protocol is defined by the figures the sheets print (supply, per-channel current, timing table, pin set), not by a known die.

The 1515 and 2020 sheets state the reset as 80 us both in prose (“receiving the low level RESET code above 80us”) and in the table; the title says WS2812B but no WS2812B figure is printed. The p7 note says the controller must send a “0” code high time under 0.47 us and a “1” code high time over 0.58 us.

Clones & compatibility

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

Library support

Not checked against any library. The sheets state a 24-bit (32-bit for IC-01W) frame sent high bit first at 800 kbps.

Dating evidence

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