The first LED pixel takes the first 24 bit data, passes it to the data latch, and sends the rest of the data to the reshaping and amplification circuit which passes it to the next serial led pixel through the data out pin. The input data pin receives data from the microcontroller or any other source. This RGB LED uses a single NZR communication mode. This buffer is also used to provide data to LEDs daisy-chained. The IC also has a buffer so that the quality is not compromised despite the large number of LEDs being connected together. If we combine these 256 options of three colors, we will get around 17 million possible colors, Because each part of a 24-bit register is 8-bit long, that means 256 different brightness values are possible for each LED color (green, red, blue). The question is, how many colors of light we can produce from WS2812B Addressable RGB LED? Well, the simple answer is in millions.

In this way, a variety of colors are displayed. Each part contains the intensity values of the respective color LED such as blue, red, and green. This 24-bit register is divided into 3 parts of 8 bits such as B0-B7, R0-R7, and G0-G7. Furthermore, based on serial received data, the controller controls the brightness and colors of the RGB LED. The serial controller has a SISO (serial in serial out ) 24-bit register which takes data serially, stores data in the register. It consists of RGB LED dies, a serial programmable controller, and a 5050 LED package. The following figure shows the internal components of WS2812B RBG LED. The link to the datasheet is provided at the bottom of the article. The power supply is common between the control unit and RGB Led.įor more information about the technical details, switching and electric characteristics, check the WS2812B datasheet.To avoid any distortions of signals, a built-in reshaping circuit is provided.It has a power and electric reset circuit within its package.Reverse biased voltage protection that is the driver IC is not damaged even if the power supply is connected in reverse.Some of the cool features of WS2812B are : Input signal voltage : -0.5 to VDD+0.5Volts.Power supply voltage(VDD) : +3.5 to +5.3Volts.
