PCA9685 demonstration board OM13332

demonstration board main components

 

8.  PCA9685 evaluation steps

The PCA9685 functions are controlled by WIN-I2CUSB Lite GUI. Refer to the PCA9685 
data sheet for additional information on the registers and functionality.

Connect the hardware as described in 

Section 4

The PCA9685 demo board address is 

set to 0x80 on DIP switch (S1) as A[0:5] = S1[1:6] = 000000 (0

ON, 1

OFF). When 

you have correctly installed the software and the demonstration board hardware is 
connected and recognized by the computer, start the Win-I2CUSB Lite software. As 
shown in 

Figure 5

, when the demonstration board hardware is correctly connected to the 

USB port and the computer recognizes it, the message ‘Hardware Detected’ is displayed 
on the bottom of the window.

Switched 3.3 V and 5.0 V power supplies are controlled through the ‘Options’ menu or by 
double-clicking on the 3.3 V or 5.0 V symbols on the bottom of the window. Power 
supplies are disabled by default and you must enable them before using the I

C-bus 

devices on the board. I

C-bus frequency is controlled through the ‘Options’ menu or by 

double-clicking the frequency symbol on the bottom of the window.

8.1  Dimming and brightness control for individual LED

The PCA9685 has 4096 steps (12-bit PWM) of individual LED brightness control to vary 
from fully off (default) to maximum brightness. The LED output frequency (all LEDs) 
typically varies from 24 Hz to 1526 Hz (default of 1Eh in PRE_SCALE register results in a 
197 Hz refresh rate with oscillator clock of 25 MHz). The duty cycle of PWM can be 
controlled independently using the ‘LEDn ON’ and ‘LEDn OFF’ registers. The resolution 
for the phase shift is 

1

4096

 of the target frequency.

1. From the ‘Device’ drop-down menus, select ‘LED Blinkers and Dimmers’, and from 

the subsequent drop-down menu select ‘PCA9685 16-channel LED Driver with 12-bit 
PWM’ as shown in 

Figure 5

.

2. The device address is set to ‘80’ hexadecimal and cannot change. Check the ‘Auto 

Write On’ box (lower left), uncheck the ‘Low-power mode (oscillator off)’ box to enable 
the device to ‘Normal mode’ (upper left).
