This evaluation board will demonstrate to the Sequencing) Modes user this functionality using NCV7683 devices in a daisy Flexibility for chain fashion along with the typical DC current drive and External LED Connections PWM demonstration. LED Current Programmability (RSTOP) The three typical control inputs into the system are LED PWM Programmability (RTAIL) available through onboard switches or through the pin Sequence Time Programmability connections to external controls. The three system control Sequence Interval Programmability inputs are the STOP, TAIL, and TURN functions. The STOP STOP, TAIL, TURN External Connections function displays a 100% duty cycle current through the External DIAG Pin Connection LEDs. The TAIL function displays a programmable PWM current through the LEDs. The TURN function displays the sequence event through the 8 onchip channels and through a serial connection through a second series of 8 channels on a second device. Figure 1.
