WS2811C from Worldsemi, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTR | output | Constant-current PWM sink output for the RED LED channel. Low-side open-drain type driver rated up to 20 V withstand, typical IOL = 32 mA (30-36 mA). |
| 2 | OUTG | output | Constant-current PWM sink output for the GREEN LED channel. Low-side open-drain type driver rated up to 20 V withstand, typical IOL = 32 mA (30-36 mA). |
| 3 | OUTB | output | Constant-current PWM sink output for the BLUE LED channel. Low-side open-drain type driver rated up to 20 V withstand, typical IOL = 32 mA (30-36 mA). |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for data and power (VSS = 0 V). |
| 5 | DO | output | Reshaped single-wire cascade data output to the next driver's DIN. Drives >=10 mA at Vo=0.4 V; transmission delay <=300 ns (CL=15 pF, RL=10 kOhm). |
| 6 | DIN | input | Single-wire NZR control-data input from the upstream controller or previous cascade IC. Logic thresholds VIH >= 0.7VDD, VIL <= 0.3VDD, hysteresis ~0.35 V; withstand voltage 9.5 V. |
| 7 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to a copper pour as convenient; no functional purpose. |
| 8 | VDD | power_in | IC power supply, +3.5 V to +5.5 V operating (typ 5 V). When the LED rail is 12 V or 24 V a series dropper resistor is used with the internal Zener regulator to hold VDD in range. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 422 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
