3.2.62 75h: Pulse Train Control 21 (PTC21)

This register, along with the PTC20 register, provides a user-programmable LED flashing pulse train. The

user can adjust the pulse duration, the pulse train length, and the on/off time to derive a specific visual

indication. The PTC20 register provides eight of the twelve bits available in the programmable pulse train.

The PTC21 register contains two bits of pulse-width programmability, two bits of pulse train length

programmability, and the remaining four bits of the programmable pulse train.

As an example, the pulse train can be used to develop a visual heartbeat indication by programming the

PTC20 register with a 45h and the PTC21 register with a C1h. This combination develops a pulse train

with two blinks followed by a gap with the on times of the LED equal to 125 ms.

If the default values of this register or the PTC20 register are modified, and synchronization to other LED

flash rates is desired, the SYNC# pin must be enabled. To enable the SYNC# pin, tie the SYNCEN pin to

VDD, connect an external 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to the SYNC# pin, and place the proper synchronization

value in bits 3:0 of the Clock Select Control register. For information on the Clock Select Control register,

see “FDh: Clock Select Control (CSC),” page 111.

The following table shows the bit assignments for the Pulse Train Control 21 register.

R/W

Train Pulse Width

These two bits define the pulse width of each of the pulse train bits. The

available pulse widths are as follows:

5:4

PTL1-0

R/W

Pulse Train Length

These two bits define the pulse train length, which is the number of pulse train

bits that is shifted out before returning to bit 0. The available pulse train lengths

are as follows:

3:0

PT11-8

R/W

Pulse Train

These four bits are the last bits shifted out from 0 to 3 and define the on/off time

for the flash rate.

1: defines LED on time.

0: defines LED off time.
