PCF8536
Universal LCD low multiplex driver with 6 channel PWM generator
Intensity of
visible flickering
Flickering is most
visible when fPWM
and ffr(LCD) are within
10 Hz of each other
In general, the higher the PWM frame
frequency, the less flickering will be visible
Flickering is also visible at multiples
of the fundamental frequency;
however, the visibility is lower
Flickering will not be
visible when fPWM
and ffr(LCD) are more
than 50 Hz apart
f1
Where f0 = fPWM and f1 = ffr(LCD) or f1 = fPWM and f0 = ffr(LCD).

This will repeat for 3f1, 4f1, etc.

8.1.11 Command: GPO-static-data
When static GPOs are selected instead of PWM, then the value for the output is taken
from these register bits. The output is a static level.
