Figure 18. Using External PWM Control for Flash

Controlling RGB Max Current Register Values

In this case pre-flash brightness is adjusted by adjusting the current values in the RGB max current register.

•

Enable RGB functions and disable PWM mode (EN_RGB = 1, RGB_PWM = 0)

•

Enable RGB constant current mode (CC_SW = 0)

•

Write pre-flash values for each output to RGB max current register (e.g. 00b for 25% of maximum current)

•

Start pre-flash by switching on the LEDs (RSW = 1, GSW = 1, BSW = 1). Pre-flash brightness can be

adjusted also by setting on only one or two LEDs during the pre-flash

•

Start flash by writing each output maximum current values to RGB max current register

•

Stop flash by switching off the LEDs (RSW = 0, GSW = 0, BSW = 0)
