8.3.4 Line Transitioning Sequence

The TLC6984 defines a timing sequence of scan line transition, shown as Figure 8-7. T_SW is the total transitioning time. T_SW is broken up into four intervals: T0 is the time interval between the end of PWM time in current segment and the beginning of channel pre-discharge, T1 is the time interval between the beginning of the channel pre-discharge and the beginning of current line OFF, T2 is the time interval that the beginning of current line OFF and the beginning of next line ON, T3 is the time interval of the beginning of next line ON and the beginning of PWM time in next segment.

The line switch time T_SW equals to T0 + T1 + T2 + T3. T_SW can be configured by the LINE_SWT (see FC1 register bit 40-37 in FC1).

Table 8-4 is the relation between LINE_SWT bits and the line switch time (GCLK numbers) with different internal GCLK frequency.
