- data type
- WS2811/12
- datasheet discrepancies
- GPIO min spec of 0.7*VDD (8.4V) is incorrect - actual threshold is 3.5V based on internal 5V Vdd
- gpio max
- 5V
- gpio min
- 3.5V
- gpio min notes
- Datasheet says 0.7*VDD which would be 8.4V at 12V - this appears to be a copypaste error. Actual Vdd is internal 5V bus, so 3.5V threshold
- led voltage
- 12V
- led voltage notes
- Datasheet 9.5-13.5V range

- technical notes
- 12V version allows longer cable runs with less voltage drop, Internal regulator provides 5V logic from 12V supply, Backup data line for fault tolerance like WS2813, 3 internal LEDs in series for 12V operation

- vcc voltage notes
- Internal regulator drops 12V to 5V for logic. Can use external resistor to supply 5V Vdd from higher system voltage
