PRODUCTION DATA.
The PWM ramp option (register 0x02 bit[1]) determines whether the ramper is active or inactive during a change in PWM duty cycle.
The ramper smooths the transition from one brightness value to another. Ramp time can be adjusted from 0 ms to 8000 ms with LED Current Ramp [3:0] bits (register 0x03 bits [6:3]). Ramp time is used for sloping both up and down. Ramp time always remains the same regardless of the amount of change in brightness.
In PWM mode the behavior of the ramper depends on the state of the PWM Ramp bit (register 0x02, bit [1]). If the PWM Ramp bit is set to 0, there is no LED current ramping between PWM duty cycle changes. The PWM duty cycle is multiplied with the I2C brightness code at the output of the ramper (see Figure 35). If this bit is set to 1, ramping is achieved between I2C × PWM currents (see Figure 36).
