Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs)
The WISMO218 contains two Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs). They can be used in conjunction with
an external transistor for driving a vibrator, or a backlight LED.
Features
Each PWM uses two 7-bit unsigned binary numbers: one for the output period and one for the pulse
width or the duty cycle.
The relative timing for the PWM output is shown in the figure below.
