TPS92662-Monitor

The TPS92662 chip is a "High-Brightness LED Matrix Manager" for LED headlights. It allows the control and monitoring of LED strings in car headlights.

The configuration is done via UART, which is transmitted via CAN transceiver and thus less sensitive to interference. The UART signals are routed through the chip, which allows cascading of up to 32 chips. The individual chips can be addressed individually via device IDs or as a broadcast and configured per chip via 139 registers.

We have developed a monitor for the TPS92662 that can simultaneously log and configure UART lanes. The monitor consists of a hardware adapter and a CANoe integration.
