TPS929120-Q1: PWM Synchronization

Part Number: TPS929120-Q1

Hi Team,

My customer is using multiple TPS929120s/board with multiple boards/vehicle and is interested in synchronizing PWMs for PWM dimming.

Could could I get your help/recommendation for a solution in two scenarios:

1. Synchronizing PWMs on a single board:

I have a few ideas for this:

  • Just use an external clock source into CLK pin, I think this means we no longer can use that pin as an address pin though so it would need to be set in EEPROM
    • If this is the best way, I could use a recommendation if there is a preferred oscillator/clocking part.
  • To prevent additional components, we could use a free beacon torch channel and PWM across a resistor, then feed the created PWM signal into the CLK pin of other beacon torches.

2. Synchronizing PWMs across multiple boards

  • I could use recommendation, if this is even feasible

Best,

David
