PCA9685 output voltage issue

I am using the PCA9685 to drive a few servos. I am having some issues with the servos not behaving as expected. Looking at the PWM output, I see a clean pulse and correct pulse width. However, I noticed that the "OFF" state is about 600mV. Should I add a pull down resistor (and a current limiting resistor) to the output of each PWM output?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Sebastian

Yes, you can try to use pull down and limit resistors to decrease offset.
