Appendix E. Display
Brightness
Two ways have been shown to
control the brightness of this
LED display: setting the peak
current and setting the duty
factor. Both values are set in
Control Word 0. To compute the
resulting display brightness when
both PWM and peak current
control are used, simply multiply
the two relative brightness
factors. For example, if Control
Register 0 holds the word
