The TS-7250-V3 includes a PWM core that supports 10-bit duty/period, a 79.2mhz input clock, and 20 values of input clock shift.

Linux supports this API through the /sys/ interface.

# Export PWM channel 0
echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export
# Set Period ns
echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export

The Linux PWM API will attempt to arrive at the exact period at the cost of the duty cycle resolution. For the most expressive duty cycle, target a frequency that is an exact shift of the input clock. Linux's API maxes out the max period/duty as 4294967295ns

Divisor Frequency (hz) Max Period (ns)
0 79200000 12917
1 3960000 25833
2 1980000 51667
3 990000 103333
4 495000 206667
5 247500 413333
6 123750 826667
7 61875 1653333
8 30937.50 3306667
9 15468.75 6613333
10 7734.38 13226795
11 3867.19 26453932
12 1933.59 52909232
13 966.80 105823937
14 483.40 211669770

16 120.85 846854305
17 60.42 1693708609
18 30.21 3387417219
19 15.11 6774834437

If period is set to one of these values, the full 10 bits of duty cycle is available. Past that, the Linux API will use the closest available value.


This core is located at 0x500001a8.
