8.4.5 Grayscale PWM Operation
The grayscale PWM cycle starts with the falling edge of BLANK. The first GSCLK pulse after BLANK goes low
increases the grayscale counter by one and switches on all OUTn with grayscale value not zero. Each following
rising edge of GSCLK increases the grayscale counter by one. The TLC5940 compares the grayscale value of
each output OUTn with the grayscale counter value. All OUTn with grayscale values equal to the counter values
are switched off. A BLANK=H signal after 4096 GSCLK pulses resets the grayscale counter to zero and
completes the grayscale PWM cycle (see Figure 21). When the counter reaches a count of FFFh, the counter
stops counting and all outputs turn off. Pulling BLANK high before the counter reaches FFFh immediately resets
the counter to zero.
