You can control 16 free-running PWM outputs with 16-Channel 12-Bit PWM/Servo Driver using only 2 pins. You can even chain up 62 breakouts to control up to 992 PWM outputs.
It’s an I2C-controlled PWM driver with a built-in clock. That means you do not need to continuously send it to signal to tie up your microcontroller, it is completely free running!
Features
Adjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz
12-bit resolution for each output – for servos, that means about 4us resolution at a 60Hz update rate
Configurable push-pull or an open-drain output
The output enable pin to quickly disable all the outputs
Terminal block for power input
Reverse polarity protection on the terminal block input
Green power-good LED
3 pin connectors in groups of 4 so you can plug in 16 servos at once
Chainable design
A spot to place a big capacitor on the V+ line
220-ohm series resistors on all the output lines to protect them, and to make driving LEDs trivial.
This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit address between 0x60-0x80, selectable with jumpers.
