GRAYSCALE (GS) FUNCTION (PWM CONTROL)
The TLC5948A can adjust the brightness of each output channel using a pulse width modulation (PWM) control
scheme. The architecture of 16 bits per channel results in 65,536 brightness steps, from 0% up to 100%
brightness.
The PWM operation for OUTn is controlled by a 16-bit grayscale (GS) counter. The GS counter increments on
each GS reference clock (GSCLK) rising edge. The GS counter resets to 0000h when the BLANK bit in the first
control data latch is set to '1'; the counter value is held at 0000h while the BLANK bit is '1', even if the GS clock
input is toggled high and low.
The TLC5948A has two types of PWM control: conventional PWM control and enhanced spectrum (ES) PWM
control. The conventional PWM control can be selected when the ESPWM bit in the first control data latch is '0'.
The ES PWM control is selected when the ESPWM bit is '1'.
The on-time (tOUT_ON) of each output (OUTn) can be calculated by Equation 3.
tOUT_ON = tGSCLK × GSn
