8.3.2.1 BRT_MODE = 00

With BRT_MODE = 00, the LED output is controlled by the PWM input duty cycle. The PWM detector block measures the duty cycle at the PWM pin and uses this 16-bit value to generate an internal to the device PWM data. Before the output is generated, the PWM data goes through the PWM curve-shaper block. Then, the data goes into the adaptive dimming function which determines the range of the PWM and Current control as described in Output Dimming Schemes. The outcome of the adaptive dimming function is 12-bit current and/or up to 6 PWM output signals. The current is then passed through the non-linear compensation block while the output PWM signals are channeled through the dither block.
