48-Channel LED PWM Generator with 12-Bit Resolution and 50MHz Serial Interface

48-Channel LED PWM Generator with 12-Bit Resolution and 50MHz Cascadable Serial Interface

The LT®8500 is a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator
with 48 independent channels. Each channel has an
individually adjustable 12-bit (4096-step) PWM register
and a 6-bit (64-step) ±50% correction register. All controls
are programmable via a simple serial data interface. Three
banks of 16-channels each can be configured such that
they operate 120° out-of-phase with each other.
