30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pcf8591
32.Nd driver for the PCF8591 8-bit A/D and D/A converter
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device pcf8591"
39.Cd "device iicbus"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46pcf8591_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver supports reading four inputs and setting one output over I2C.
52The hardware supports configuring the input lines as:
53.Bl -bullet
54.It
55four single-ended inputs
56.It
57three differential inputs (one input line is shared between all three inputs)
58.It
59two single-ended inputs and one differential input
60.It
61two differential inputs.
62.El
63.Pp
64The
65.Nm
66driver reports data via
67.Xr sysctl 8
68entries in the device's node in the
69.Xr sysctl 8
70tree:
71.Bl -tag -width inputs.%d
72.It Va inputs.%d
73The input level of the corresponding input in steps between 0 and 255.
74Absolute voltage depends on an actual reference voltage.
75.El
76.Pp
77On an
78.Xr FDT 4
79based system the following properties must be set:
80.Bl -tag -width "compatible"
81.It Va compatible
82Must be set to "nxp,pcf8591".
83.It Va reg
84The I2C address of
85.Nm .
86It should be in the range from 0x40 to 0x4f (7-bit).
87.El
88.Pp
89The DTS part for a
90.Nm
91device usually looks like:
92.Bd -literal
93/ {
94
95	...
96	pcf8591adc {
97		compatible = "nxp,pcf8591";
98		reg = <0x48>;
99	};
100};

106.Sh HISTORY
107The
108.Nm
109driver and this manual page was written by
110.An Andriy Gapon Aq Mt avg@FreeBSD.org .
111.Sh BUGS
112The
113.Nm
114driver does not support changing the input configuration.
115All input lines are configured as single-ended inputs.
116.Pp
117The
118.Nm
119driver does not support setting the output.
120It is always disabled (tri-state).
