If the TLC694x device detects three SCLK rising edges during the LAT-signal high period, it considers this
as a vertical frame synchronization command (VSYNC) command
initialized once the VSYNC command is received.

3.2.2 Send VSYNC Command

After all the grayscale (GS) data is written into the selected memory BANK, the external controller sends
the VSYNC command to the TLC694x device. When the VSYNC command is received, the grayscale
data of the memory BANK selected in the previous step is displayed in the coming frame period.

PWM Control and New Frame Image Display

3.3.1 PWM Control Overview

PWM control means the pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme, which controls the turnon ratio of
the output channel OUTn during one display period. The turnon ratio is proportional to the grayscale (GS)
data of this channel. The use of 16-bit GS data per channel results in 65,536 brightness steps, from 0%
up to 100% brightness.
For example:
If GS = 0, then OUTn does not turn on during one display period (65,536 GCLK periods, total), and the
brightness ratio is 0%.
If GS = 255 (00FFh), then during one display period, OUTn turns on for 255 GCLK periods, and the
brightness ratio is 255 / 65 535 = 0.3891% (Assume 100% brightness if OUTn turns on for 65 535
GCLK periods during one display period).
