As per the current implementation, after FSC (Full Scale Current)

This does not makes sense since there are too many verbs. Set and clear
are both verbs so in this context: "the code will set the bit and then
the code will clear the bit".

Either:

s/transitioned from set-then-clear/set-then-cleared/.

Or:

s/transitioned from set-then-clear/using a set-then-clear approach/.

But, the FSC and brightness sync takes place during a clear-then-set
transition of the sync bits.

Likewise this no longer makes sense and had also become misleading.
Two changes of state, clear and then set, do not usually result in a
single transition.

Either:

s/clear-then-set/0 to 1/

Alternatively, if you want to stick exclusively to the set/clear
terminology then replace the whole quoted section with:

But, the FSC and brightness sync takes place when the sync bits are
set (e.g. on a rising edge).


So the hardware team recommends a
clear-then-set approach in order to guarantee such a transition
regardless of the previous register state.

Daniel.

Apologies for the mistake. I have corrected and submitted the
V4 series with the "reviewed-by" tag.
