3 Description
This 7-bit LED dimmer for the two-line bidirectional
bus (I2C) is designed to control (or dim) LEDs through
the I2C interface. Without this device, the
microcontroller must be actively involved in turning on
and off the LEDs (per the required dimming rate),
which uses valuable processor time. The TCA6507
alleviates this issue by limiting the number of
operations required by the processor in blinking LEDs
and helps to create a more efficient system. The
TCA6507 handles all pulse width modulation (PWM)
logic, allowing the processor to use its cycles for
more important tasks.
