30.Dt PCA954X 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm pca954x
34.Nd driver for PCA9548A I2C switch
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following line in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device pca954x"
41.Cd "device iicmux"
42.Cd "device iicbus"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternatively, to load the driver as a
46module at boot time, place the following line in
47.Xr loader.conf 5 :
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
49pca954x_load="YES"
50.Ed
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54driver supports the PCA9548A I2C bus switch and compatible chips such as
55TCA9548A.
56It automatically connects an upstream I2C bus to one of several downstream
57buses as needed when slave devices on the downstream buses initiate I/O.
58More information on the automatic switching behavior is available in
59.Xr iicmux 4 .
60.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
61On an
62.Xr FDT 4
63based system, an
64.Nm
65device node is defined as a child node of its upstream I2C bus.
66The children of the
67.Nm
68node are additional I2C buses, which will have their own I2C slave
69devices described in their child nodes.
70.Pp
71The
72.Nm
73driver attaches to nodes where the
74.Va compatible
75property is set to one of
76.Bl -bullet
77.It
78.Qq nxp,pca9548
79.El
80.Pp
81The
82.Nm
83driver supports the following optional properties in addition to the standard
84I2C mux properties:
85.Bl -tag -width i2c-mux-idle-disconnect
86.It Va i2c-mux-idle-disconnect
87if defined, forces the switch to disconnect all children in idle state.
88.El
89.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
90On a
91.Xr device.hints 5
92based system, these values are configurable for
93.Nm :
94.Bl -tag -width hint.pca954x.<unit>.chip_type
95.It Va hint.pca954x.<unit>.at
96The upstream
97.Xr iicbus 4
98the
99.Nm
100instance is attached to.
101.It Va hint.pca954x.<unit>.chip_type
102The type of the chip.
103At present, only
104.Qq pca9548
105is supported.
106.El
107.Pp
108When configured via hints, the driver automatically adds an
109.Xr iicbus 4
110instance for every downstream bus supported by the chip.
111There is currently no way to indicate used versus unused channels.

115.Sh HISTORY
116The
117.Nm
118driver and this manual page was written by
