8 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor with 8 LED Drivers
Datasheet
The LED Pulse 2 Period register determines the overall period of a pulse operation as determined by
the LED_CTL registers (see Table 5.43 - setting 10b). Each LSB represents 32ms so that a setting of
14h (20d) would represent a period of 640ms. The total range is from 32ms to 4.06 seconds (see
Table 5.45).
APPLICATION NOTE: Due to constraints on the LED Drive PWM operation, any Breathe Period less than 160ms
(05h) may not be achievable. The device will breathe at the minimum period possible as
determined by the period and min / max duty cycle settings.
The Pulse 2 Behavior is shown in Figure 5.3 for non-inverted polarity and in Figure 5.4 for inverted
polarity.
