C-bus LED controller
The LEDn_ON_H output control bit 4, when set to logic 1, causes the output to be always
ON. The turning ON of the LED is delayed by the amount in the LEDn_ON registers.
LEDn_OFF[11:0] are ignored. When this bit = 0, then the LEDn_ON and LEDn_OFF
registers are used according to their normal definition.
The LEDn_OFF_H output control bit 4, when set to logic 1, causes the output to be
always OFF. In this case the values in the LEDn_ON registers are ignored.
Remark: When all LED outputs are configured as ‘always OFF’, the prescale counter and
all associated PWM cycle timing logic are disabled. If LEDn_ON_H[4] and
LEDn_OFF_H[4] are set at the same time, the LEDn_OFF_H[4] function takes
precedence.
