This is a SMD version of the WS2812B that is widely used as a programmable addressable LED. This LED supports serial addressable integrated system where multiple leds can be connected via a string and each individual LEDs can be controlled independently.
WS2812B LED requires 3.5V-7.5V to operate and could produce RGB led colors.
Through hole version of WS2812B is also available in Punoscho.
Features of WS2812B

Timing Diagram/Waveform of WS2812B
Multiple WS2812B
The L1/L2/L3 are LEDs. 5V voltage and GND is provided in each LEDs. The microcontroller sends data to the DI (Data In) pin and the data gets transferred to the next LED via DO (Data Out) pin, serially.
