Fig 23. Synchronization of the cascade for the various PCF8533 drive modes
The contact resistance between the SYNC pins of cascaded devices must be controlled. If
the resistance is too high then the device will not be able to synchronize properly. This is
particularly applicable to COG applications. Table 19 shows the limiting values for contact
resistance.
