Platform data
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ads7828 driver accepts an optional ads7828_platform_data structure (defined
|
||
|
|
in include/linux/platform_data/ads7828.h). The structure fields are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* diff_input: (bool) Differential operation
|
||
|
|
set to true for differential mode, false for default single ended mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ext_vref: (bool) External reference
|
||
|
|
set to true if it operates with an external reference, false for default
|
||
|
|
internal reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* vref_mv: (unsigned int) Voltage reference
|
||
|
|
if using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV,
|
||
|
|
otherwise it will default to the internal value (2500mV). This value will be
|
||
|
|
bounded with limits accepted by the chip, described in the datasheet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no structure is provided, the configuration defaults to single ended
|
||
|
|
operation and internal voltage reference (2.5V).

Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments ADS7828 and ADS7830.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ADS7828 device is a 12-bit 8-channel A/D converter, while the ADS7830 does
|
||
|
|
8-bit sampling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can operate in single ended mode (8 +ve inputs) or in differential mode,
|
||
|
|
where 4 differential pairs can be measured.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The chip also has the facility to use an external voltage reference. This
|
||
|
|
may be required if your hardware supplies the ADS7828 from a 5V supply, see
|
||
|
|
the datasheet for more details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no reliable way to identify this chip, so the driver will not scan
|
||
|
|
some addresses to try to auto-detect it. That means that you will have to
|
||
|
|
statically declare the device in the platform support code.
