PWM Dimming Control
Figure 9. Typical waveforms of a complete data frame in the serial interface mode
Figure 10. PWM dimming duty vs code value of a data byte
In the serial interface mode, the six output channels are grouped into four individual groups. The on duty
of each group is controlled by the value of a specific data byte as listed in the following table:
