WS2816C Pixel Protocol
A single-wire, individually addressable RGB LED protocol with a built-in IC, supporting 16-bit color per channel and gamma correction.
Overview
WS2816C provides the same 16-bit color depth, 10kHz PWM, and break-point continuous transmission as WS2816B, but is optimized for compact LED packages and high-density installations requiring vivid, accurate color.
