3.2.101 7Ch: Pulse Train Control 60 (PTC60)

This register, along with the PTC61 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 PTC60 register provides eight of the twelve bits available in the programmable pulse train.

The PTC61 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

PTC60 register with a 45h and the PTC61 register with a 01h. This combination develops a pulse train

with two blinks followed by a gap with the on times of the LED equal to 166.67 ms.

If the default values of this register or the PTC61 register are modified, synchronization to LED flash rates

programmed in other VSC060 devices is disabled.

The following table shows the bit assignments for the Pulse Train Control 60 register.

Pulse Train

These eight bits are the first bits shifted out from 0 to 7 and define the on/off

time for the flash rate.

1: defines LED on time.

0: defines LED off time.
