MAX6948B

Configuration Register Format (0x10)

Use the configuration register to select PWM phasing
between outputs, monitor fade status, enable hardware
startup from shutdown, and select shutdown or run mode
(Table 2).

Initial Power-Up

On power-up, all control registers are set to power-
up values and the MAX6948B is in shutdown mode
(Table 3).
