The LEDs maintain the brightness of the last command when the single program stops. Changes in command
register will not be effective in this phase. The RGB_START bit has to be toggled off and on to make changes
effective.
START BIT (1.65V ≤ V_DDIO ≤ V_DD1,2V) (unless otherwise noted)
Pattern_gen_ctrl register’s RGB_START bit will enable command execution starting from Command 1.

Audio Synchronization (1.65V ≤ V_DDIO ≤ V_DD1,2V) (unless otherwise noted)
The color LEDs connected to RGB outputs can be synchronized to incoming audio with Audio Synchronization
feature. Audio Sync has 2 modes. Amplitude mode synchronizes color LEDs based on input signal’s peak
amplitude. In the amplitude mode the user can select between 3 different amplitude mapping modes and 4
different speed configurations. The frequency mode synchronizes the color LEDs based on bass, middle and
treble amplitudes (= low pass, band pass and high pass filters). User can select between 2 different frequency
responses and 4 different speed configurations for best audio-visual user experience. Programmable gain and
AGC function are also available for adjustment of input signal amplitude to light response. The Audio Sync
functionality is described more closely below.
USING A DIGITAL PWM AUDIO SIGNAL AS AN AUDIO SYNCHRONIZATION SOURCE (1.65V ≤ V_DDIO ≤
V_DD1,2V) (unless otherwise noted)
If the input signal is a PWM signal, use a first or second order low pass filter to convert the digital PWM audio
signal into an analog waveform. There are two parameters that need to be known to get the filter to work
successfully: frequency of the PWM signal and the voltage level of the PWM signal. Suggested cut-off frequency
(-3 dB) should be around 2 kHz to 4 kHz and the stop-band attenuation at sampling frequency should be around
-48 dB or better. Use a resistor divider to reduce the digital signal amplitude to meet the specification of the
