Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-01376, TIDA-01375
Hello,
I'm making blinking LED indicator using the TPS92830-Q1. I want it to blink at around 5Hz.
I used the TIDA-01376 for reference, because a turn indicator seemed similar to my application in terms of blinking frequency and required brightness.

From reading the datasheets it was not apparent to me how the blinking function is actually implemented. What would be the best way to do it?
My first idea is to simply turn the device on and off at the required frequency. This would be achieved using an astable multivibrator controlling a PMOS between 12V and the IN pin.
Is there a better way to do it? Maybe with the PWM inputs?
Thanks and best regards,
Matej
