7.3.2 PWM Dimming

The LP5816 supports 8-bit PWM dimming with 23kHz frequency. The device integrates an internal 6MHz oscillator to generate the PWM clock.

The PWM output value of each channel is controlled by the OUT0_MANUAL_PWM, OUT1_MANUAL_PWM, OUT2_MANUAL_PWM and OUT3_MANUAL_PWM separately.

If OUT0_FADE_EN, OUT1_FADE_EN, OUT2_FADE_EN and OUT3_FADE_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG2 register is set as 0, the output PWM value updates immeditaly to the latest received PWM set value.

If OUT0_FADE_EN, OUT1_FADE_EN, OUT2_FADE_EN and OUT3_FADE_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG2 register is set as 1, the fade in or out function is enabled, the output PWM ramps up or down smoothly to the latest received PWM value within the time period defined by OUT_FADE_TIME automatically.

The LP5816 allows users to configure the dimming scale as exponential curve or linear curve for each channel separately through the OUT0_EXP_EN, OUT1_EXP_EN, OUT2_EXP_EN and OUT3_EXP_EN in DEV_CONFIG3 register. A human-eye-friendly visual performance can be achieved by using the internal exponential scale. The linear scale has great linearity between PWM duty cycle and PWM setting value, which provides flexible approach for external controlled gamma correction algorithm. The 8-bit linear and exponential curves are shown as Figure 7-2.
