An LED that flashes by itself, what sorcery is this??? Thanks to some additional microscopic components embedded inside the LED, all one needs to do is connect a supply voltage greater than 1.8VDC and the LED will happily flash at the specified frequency. No additional circuitry required. Using a flashing LED can reduce overall power consumption and even help simplify the code running on your microcontroller. We recommended connecting a resistor in series to limit the current if supplying the LED with more than 3.6VDC.
