Addressable WS2815 5050 DC12V Pixel LED Chips

WS2815 DC12V Pixel LED chip advantages:
1) WS2815 have the same function as dmx, if one pixels don’t work, don’t effect other pixels’ work, the signal can continue to move forward. (WS2815 is not dmx, but have dmx the same function, but cheaper than dmx.)
2) WS2815 is the first one IC chip which is DC12V Digital Pixel LED chip with IC built-in the 12V 5050SMD LED chip. 1pcs WS2815 IC driver 1pcs LED, so every one led is as one pixel (at 12V lotage).

Features and Benefits
 1, The control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a 5050 components, to form an external control pixel.
 2, DC12V power supply, can effectively reduce the operating current of the pixel LED, and decrease the voltage-drop of the PCB, this is to advance the consistency of the mixed lights for long-distance transmission.
 3, Using the built-in signal reshaping circuit to achieve the signal waveform shaping, and no distortion of waveform of signal takes place.
 4, The gray levels of each pixel are of 256 levels, which achieves “256*256*256=16777216” full-color display, and
the refresh frequency reaches to 2KHz.
 5, Serial cascade interface, data receiving and decoding depend on just one signal line.
 6, Dual-signal wires version, signal break-point continuous transmission.
 7, Any two point the distance more than 5M transmission signal without any increase circuit.
 8, When the refresh rate is 30fps, cascade numbers is at least 1024 pixels.
 9, Data transmitting at speeds of up to 800Kbps.
 10, Good color consistency reliability, high cost-effective.

General description
  WS2815 is an intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a package of 5050 components. Its internal includes intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit.
  Dual-signal wires version, signal break-point continuous transmission. Any pixel’s failure won’t affect signal transfer
and total emitting effect.
  The data transfer protocol use single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receive data from controller, the first pixel collect initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port. After transmission for each pixel, the signal to reduce 24bit. Every pixel adopts auto-reshaping transmit technology, making the pixel cascade numbers are not limited to the signal transmission, only relate to the speed of signal transmission.
  The BIN receives the data signal, and then compare the data with the DIN side after phagocytosis of 24bit data, if DIN do NOT receive the signal, then switching to BIN for receiving the input signal, which ensure that any the IC’s damage does not affect the signal cascade transmission and make the BIN in state of receiving signal until restart after power-off.
  Refresh Frequency updates to 2KHz, Low Frame Frequency and no Flicker appear in HD Video Camera.
  RESET time>280μs, it won’t cause wrong reset while interruption, it supports the lower frequency and inexpensive MCU.
  Integrated circuit chips enable the circuit control simpler, neater and more reliable while NO extra components needed.
