28.Dt ADS111x 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ads111x
32.Nd driver for ADS101x and ADS111x i2c analog to digital converters
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device ads111x"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45ads111x_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides support for the ADS101x/ADS111x family of analog
51to digital converter (ADC) devices.
52The supported devices are all similar to each other, varying in
53features such as resolution and number of input channels.
54The devices offer a number of configuration options which can be
55set via hints, FDT data, and
56.Xr sysctl 8 .
57.Pp
58The
59.Xr sysctl 8
60utility provides access to the voltage measurements made by the device.
61Each time the
62.Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.voltage
63variable is accessed for a given channel, the driver switches the
64chip's internal mux to choose the right input pins for that channel,
65directs it to make a single measurement, and returns the measured value
66in microvolts.
67The amount of time required to make the measurement is a function
68of the sampling rate configured for the device.
69While device is directed to make a single measurement, it still averages
70the input values for the same amount of time as it would to emit one
71sample if it were in continuous mode.
72For example, if the sample rate were configured as 125 samples per
73second, a single measurement would require 8 milliseconds.
74.Pp
75For devices that support multiple input pins, the device datasheet
76describes mux settings to control how those pins are interpeted when
77making either single-ended or differential measurements.
78There are eight possible ways to combine the inputs from the four pins.
79The
80.Nm
81driver models that by creating a separate output channel for each of
82the eight combinations.
83To make a measurement on a given pin or pair of pins, you simply access
84the voltage variable for the channel number that corresponds the mux
85setting number (0 through 7) shown in the datasheet.
86When the driver is configured with hints or FDT data, it creates
87sysctl variables for just the channels specified in the config data.
88When there is no channel config data, it creates all eight possible
89channels so that you can access whichever one(s) you need.
90.Pp
91For devices that include an
92.Va alert
93output pin, the
94.Nm
95driver does not directly support the pin in terms of sensing or
96acting on changes in the pin state.
97However, you may connect the pin to a gpio input or fan controller
98or other external device, and use the driver's sysctl variables to
99configure behavior and threshold values for the pin.
100The driver avoids perturbing your settings as it does other
101manipulations to the config register.
102.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
103Sysctl variables are used to access the voltage measurements, and to
104change the configuration of the channels.
105All writeable variables may also be set as
106.Xr loader 8
107tunables.
108Channel numbers in these sysctl variables range from 0 through 7.
109.Bl -tag -width indent
110.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.config
111Provides access to the configuration register bits that control the
112alert pin configuration.
113Other bits which are controlled by the driver are masked out, and
114cannot be viewed or changed using this variable.
115.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.lo_thresh
116Sets the low threshold for activating the alert pin.
117.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.hi_thresh
118Sets the high threshold for activating the alert pin.
119.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.rate_index
120Sets the sample rate for the channel.
121The device datasheet documents eight available sample rates, chosen
122by setting a value of 0 through 7 into the corresponding control
123register bits.
124This variable sets the value used for those bits when making a
125measurement on the given channel.
126.Pp
127Because measurements are always made in single-shot mode, think of
128this variable as controlling the averaging time for a single sample;
129the time to make a measurement is 1 / samplerate.
130.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.gain_index
131Sets the programmable gain amplifier for the channel on devices
132which have an internal amplifier.
133The device datasheet documents eight available gain values, chosen
134by setting a value of 0 through 7 into the corresponding control
135register bits.
136This variable sets the value used for those bits when making a
137measurement on the given channel.
138.It Va dev.ads111x.<unit>.<channel>.voltage
139Reading this variable causes the device to make a measurement on
140the corresponding input pin(s) and return the voltage in microvolts.
141.Pp
142Note that this variable does not appear when you list multiple
143sysctl variables -- you must access it specifically by name, because
144accessing it triggers device I/O.
145.El
146.Sh HARDWARE
147The
148.Nm
149driver provides support for the following devices:
150.Pp
151.Bl -column -compact -offset indent "XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXXXX"

155.El
156.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
157On an
158.Xr fdt 4
159based system, the
160.Nm
161device is defined as a slave device subnode
162of the i2c bus controller node.
163All properties documented in the
164.Va ads1015.txt
165bindings document can be used with the
166.Nm
167device.
168.Pp
169The following properties are required in the
170.Nm
171device subnode:
172.Bl -tag -width indent
173.It Va compatible
174One of the following:
175.Bl -column -compact -offset indent ".Dq ti,ads1013" ".Dq ti,ads1113"
176.It Dq ti,ads1013 Ta Dq ti,ads1113
177.It Dq ti,ads1014 Ta Dq ti,ads1114
178.It Dq ti,ads1015 Ta Dq ti,ads1115
179.El
180.It Va reg
181I2c slave address of device.
182.El
183.Pp
184Specific channels can be configured by adding child nodes to the
185.Nm
186node, as described in the standard ads1015.txt bindings document.
187If no channels are configured, sysctl variables will be created
188for all possible channels supported by the device type, otherwise
189only the specified channels are created.
