Time-out alert of GCLK disconnection
When the PWCLK signal is disconnected for around 1 second, all output ports will be turned
off automatically. This function will protect the LED display system from staying ON
indefinitely and prevent excessive current from damaging the power system. The default is
set to ‘enable” when bit “0” is 0. When the PWCLK is active again and new serial data are
moved in, the driver resumes to work after resetting the internal counters and comparators.
