Tool/software:
Hello,
I’m working on a high-precision digital power supply application (20 V, 50 A output) and aiming for control resolution on the order of 10 ppm, which requires high-resolution digital PWM (DPWM). I'm exploring the use of an external clock source such as the AD9576, which can provide a 1 GHz low-jitter clock output.
My questions are:
-
Can the TM4C1294NCPDT accept a 1 GHz external clock (e.g., via a timer input or GPIO configured for external clock)?
-
If yes, which peripherals or timers can use this high-frequency input, and what are the limitations (e.g., max frequency supported, sampling constraints)?
-
Is it feasible to use such a high-frequency clock to increase PWM resolution at a switching frequency of ~50 kHz?
-
If not directly possible, are there recommended alternatives or best practices for achieving sub-nanosecond DPWM resolution with the TM4C series?
Any guidance or insight from the community or TI experts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
