PWM OPERATION
The built−in PWM are fully independent and can be
25
programmed to any value during the normal operation of the
NCP5623C chip. The PWM operate with five bits, yielding
20
a 32 steps range to cover the full modulation (0 to 100%) of
the associated LED:
15
− PWM = $00 ³ the associated LED is fully OFF,
whatever be the programmed ILED value
10
− PWM > $00 but < $1F ³ the brightness of the
associated LED is set depending upon the PWM

Each PWM is programmable, via the I2C port as depicted,
at any time under any sequence arrangement as requested by
Figure 4. Output Current Programmed
the end system’s designer. The PWM does not change the
Value ( ILED = F(Step) )
ILED value, but merely modulate the ON/OFF ratio of the
associated LED. Each step of the PWM represent 100/32 =
3.125% of the full range, the clock being 2.1 kHz (typical).
