SBVS192 – MARCH 2012
Table 5 summarizes the GS data values versus the output on-time duty cycle. When the device powers up, the
BLANK bit in the first control data latch is set to '1'. The 257-bit common shift register and the first and second
GS data latches contain random data. Therefore, GS data must be written to the GS latches before the BLANK
bit is set to '0'. All constant-current outputs are off when the BLANK bit is '1'.

Conventional PWM Control
In this PWM control, the GS clock is enabled when the BLANK bit is set to '0'. The first GS clock rising edge after
the BLANK bit is set to '0' increments the GS counter by one and switches on all outputs with a non-zero GS
value programmed into the second GS data latch. Each additional GS clock rising edge increases the
corresponding GS counter by one.
The GS counter keeps track of the number of clock pulses from the GS clock inputs. Each output stays on while
the counter is less than or equal to the programmed GS value. Each output turns off at the GS counter value
rising edge when the counter becomes greater than the output GS latch value. Figure 25 illustrates the
conventional PWM operation.
