Note:
At a duty cycle value of 00h (in the MIN register), the LED output is fully off. At a duty cycle value of 255h,
the LED output is fully on. Alternatively, In order to force the LED to be fully on, firmware can set the CON-
TROL field of the Configuration register to 3 (always on).
The other registers in the block do not affect the PWM or the LED output in Blinking/PWM mode.
28.9.3 BREATHING EXAMPLES
28.9.3.1 Linear LED brightness change
In this example, the brightness of the LED increases and diminishes in a linear fashion. The entire cycle takes 5 sec-
onds. The rise time and fall time are 1.6 seconds, with a hold time at maximum brightness of 200ms and a hold time at
minimum brightness of 1.6 seconds. The LED brightness varies between full off and full on. The PWM size is set to 8-
bit, so the time unit for adjusting the PWM is approximately 8ms. The registers are configured as follows:
