The structure fields are: + +* diff_input: (bool) Differential operation + set to true for differential mode, false for default single ended mode. + +* ext_vref: (bool) External reference + set to true if it operates with an external reference, false for default + internal reference. + +* vref_mv: (unsigned int) Voltage reference + if using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV, + otherwise it will default to the internal value (2500mV). This value will be + bounded with limits accepted by the chip, described in the datasheet. + + If no structure is provided, the configuration defaults to single ended + operation and internal voltage reference (2.5V). + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments ADS7828 and ADS7830. + +The ADS7828 device is a 12-bit 8-channel A/D converter, while the ADS7830 does +8-bit sampling. + +It can operate in single ended mode (8 +ve inputs) or in differential mode, +where 4 differential pairs can be measured. + +The chip also has the facility to use an external voltage reference. This +may be required if your hardware supplies the ADS7828 from a 5V supply, see +the datasheet for more details. + +There is no reliable way to identify this chip, so the driver will not scan +some addresses to try to auto-detect it. That means that you will have to +statically declare the device in the platform support code. -- cgit v1.2.3
