In Phase
When both MULTICOLOR[2:1] are set to the same mode, the outputs of MULTICOLOR[1] and MULTICOLOR[2] both toggle
at the same time. This bit determines whether the LEDs are identical to each other or inverse from each other. When the
two LED pins are attached to a special multicolored LED, the resulting LED color alternates between Off/Amber (In Phase)
or Red/Green (Out of Phase).
MULTICOLOR[2] Multicolor Selector
Bits [7:4] select the multicolor LED mode for MULTICOLOR[2]. It is up to the user to determine what functions should appear
on the two LED pins. For example, if the user wants a different color toggling operation other than the operation mentioned
above, such as Red/Amber, the user can put one of the Multicolor selectors to the desired toggle mode and the other
Multicolor selector to Forced On.
MULTICOLOR[1] Multicolor Selector
Bits [3:0] select the Multicolor LED mode for MULTICOLOR[1]. It is up to the user to determine what functions should appear
on the two LED pins. For example, if the user wants a different color toggling operation other than the operation mentioned
above, such as Red/Amber, the user can put one of the Multicolor selectors to the desired toggle mode and the other
Multicolor selector to Forced On.
EXPANSION REGISTER 05H: MULTICOLOR LED FLASH RATE CONTROLS
The following expansion registers are enabled by writing to “Expansion Register Access Register (PHY_ADDR = 0x1,
Reg_Addr = 17h)” on page 434 bits [11:0] = F05h, and read/write access is through register 15h.
