SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================= +AD525x Digital Potentiometers +============================= + +The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface. This allows you to +work with the immediate resistance settings as well as update the saved startup +settings. Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but +interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to +the specific part in use. + +Files +===== + +Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files. How +many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values. + +The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device. + +The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device. + +The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings +and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis. For exact interpretation of +this field, please consult the datasheet for your part. This is presented +as a hex file for easier parsing. + +Example +======= + +Locate the device in your sysfs tree. This is probably easiest by going into +the common i2c directory and locating the device by the i2c slave address:: + + # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ + 0-0022 0-0027 0-002f + +So assuming the device in question is on the first i2c bus and has the slave +address of 0x2f, we descend (unrelated sysfs entries have been trimmed):: + + # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/ + eeprom0 rdac0 tolerance0 + +You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:: + + # cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/ + + # cat eeprom0 + 0 + # echo 10 > eeprom0 + # cat eeprom0 + 10 + + # cat rdac0 + 5 + # echo 3 > rdac0 + # cat rdac0 + 3 |
