27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm ads111x
30.Nd driver for ADS101x and ADS111x i2c analog to digital converters
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following line in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device ads111x"
37.Ed
38.Pp
39Alternatively, to load the driver as a
40module at boot time, place the following line in
41.Xr loader.conf 5 :
42.Bd -literal -offset indent
43ads111x_load="YES"
44.Ed
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48driver provides support for the ADS101x/ADS111x family of analog
49to digital converter (ADC) devices.
50The supported devices are all similar to each other, varying in
51features such as resolution and number of input channels.
52The devices offer a number of configuration options which can be
53set via hints, FDT data, and
54.Xr sysctl 8 .
55.Pp
56The
57.Xr sysctl 8
58utility provides access to the voltage measurements made by the device.
59Each time the
60.Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.voltage
61variable is accessed for a given channel, the driver switches the
62chip's internal mux to choose the right input pins for that channel,
63directs it to make a single measurement, and returns the measured value
64in microvolts.
65The amount of time required to make the measurement is a function
66of the sampling rate configured for the device.
67While device is directed to make a single measurement, it still averages
68the input values for the same amount of time as it would to emit one
69sample if it were in continuous mode.
70For example, if the sample rate were configured as 125 samples per
71second, a single measurement would require 8 milliseconds.
72.Pp
73For devices that support multiple input pins, the device datasheet
74describes mux settings to control how those pins are interpreted when
75making either single-ended or differential measurements.
76There are eight possible ways to combine the inputs from the four pins.
77The
78.Nm
79driver models that by creating a separate output channel for each of
80the eight combinations.
81To make a measurement on a given pin or pair of pins, you simply access
82the voltage variable for the channel number that corresponds the mux
83setting number (0 through 7) shown in the datasheet.
84When the driver is configured with hints or FDT data, it creates
85sysctl variables for just the channels specified in the config data.
86When there is no channel config data, it creates all eight possible
87channels so that you can access whichever one(s) you need.
88.Pp
89For devices that include an
90.Va alert
91output pin, the
92.Nm
93driver does not directly support the pin in terms of sensing or
94acting on changes in the pin state.
95However, you may connect the pin to a gpio input or fan controller
96or other external device, and use the driver's sysctl variables to
97configure behavior and threshold values for the pin.
98The driver avoids perturbing your settings as it does other
99manipulations to the config register.
100.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
101Sysctl variables are used to access the voltage measurements, and to
102change the configuration of the channels.
103All writeable variables may also be set as
104.Xr loader 8
105tunables.
106Channel numbers in these sysctl variables range from 0 through 7.
107.Bl -tag -width indent
108.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.config
109Provides access to the configuration register bits that control the
110alert pin configuration.
111Other bits which are controlled by the driver are masked out, and
112cannot be viewed or changed using this variable.
113.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.lo_thresh
114Sets the low threshold for activating the alert pin.
115.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.hi_thresh
116Sets the high threshold for activating the alert pin.
117.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.rate_index
118Sets the sample rate for the channel.
119The device datasheet documents eight available sample rates, chosen
120by setting a value of 0 through 7 into the corresponding control
121register bits.
122This variable sets the value used for those bits when making a
123measurement on the given channel.
124.Pp
125Because measurements are always made in single-shot mode, think of
126this variable as controlling the averaging time for a single sample;
127the time to make a measurement is 1 / samplerate.
128.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.gain_index
129Sets the programmable gain amplifier for the channel on devices
130which have an internal amplifier.
131The device datasheet documents eight available gain values, chosen
132by setting a value of 0 through 7 into the corresponding control
133register bits.
134This variable sets the value used for those bits when making a
135measurement on the given channel.
136.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.voltage
137Reading this variable causes the device to make a measurement on
138the corresponding input pin(s) and return the voltage in microvolts.
139.Pp
140Note that this variable does not appear when you list multiple
141sysctl variables -- you must access it specifically by name, because
142accessing it triggers device I/O.
143.El
144.Sh HARDWARE
145The
146.Nm
147driver provides support for the following devices:

154.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
155On an
156.Xr fdt 4
157based system, the
158.Nm
159device is defined as a slave device subnode
160of the i2c bus controller node.
161All properties documented in the
162.Va ads1015.txt
163bindings document can be used with the
164.Nm
165device.
166.Pp
167The following properties are required in the
168.Nm
169device subnode:
170.Bl -tag -width indent
171.It Va compatible
172One of the following:
173.Bl -column -compact -offset indent ".Dq ti,ads1013" ".Dq ti,ads1113"
174.It Dq ti,ads1013 Ta Dq ti,ads1113
175.It Dq ti,ads1014 Ta Dq ti,ads1114
176.It Dq ti,ads1015 Ta Dq ti,ads1115
177.El
178.It Va reg
179I2c slave address of device.
180.El
181.Pp
182Specific channels can be configured by adding child nodes to the
183.Nm
184node, as described in the standard ads1015.txt bindings document.
185If no channels are configured, sysctl variables will be created
186for all possible channels supported by the device type, otherwise
187only the specified channels are created.
