Flickering on PCA9685 PWM controller with 3W RGB LED and Picobuck

Well, it appears to be a way to stagger the rising edge of the PWM signal across each channel, presumably to ease the instantaneous current changes of all 16 channels rising at once and potentially falling … Any staggering of the phase results in flickering as soon as levels are changed, and this may also have an effect on particular duty cycle ranges based on the PWM frequency. …
