Issue about PWM of NCS

[Hannibalhz]

Dear Nordic Engineers

I developed a PWM function to drive the RGB LED. Then I found a problem, which is when I used a PWM signal of one channel to control the RED light of the RGB lamp, causing it to go from bright to off and then back to bright, the other two channels would have a level reversal when the lamp was turned off. This is the data I captured using a logic analyzer.

But in fact, my program doesn't control these two channels. Here is my program and the overlay. This issue causes one of the RGB lights to go out, and the other two channels will flicker for a moment when that happens. Could you please tell me how to turn off the level inversion of the other two channels?
