The PCA9685 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-channel LED
controller optimized for LCD
Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color backlighting
applications. Each LED output has its
own 12-bit resolution (4096 steps) fixed frequency
individual PWM controller that operates
at a programmable frequency from a typical of 40 Hz to
1000 Hz with a duty cycle that is
adjustable from 0 % to 100 % to allow the LED to be set
to a specific brightness value.
All outputs are set to the same PWM frequency.
PCA9685 also has a built-in oscillator for the PWM
control.
However, the frequency used for PWM control in the
PCA9685 is adjustable from
about 40 Hz to 1000 Hz as compared to the typical 97.6
kHz frequency of the
PCA9635. This allows the use of PCA9685 with external
power supply controllers. All
bits are set at the same frequency.
The PCA9685 has 4096 steps (12-bit PWM)
