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

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