8.4.1.1 PWM Control
The GS counter keeps track of the number of grayscale reference clocks (GSCLKs) from the internal oscillator.
Each output stays on while the counter is less than or equal to the programmed GS value. Each output turns off
when the GS counter is greater than the GS value in the 36-bit GS data latch. Figure 13 illustrates the PWM
operation timing.
