[PATCH V2 2/4] dt-bindings: hwmon: ina3221: Add summation-bypass

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The INA3221 has a critical alert pin that can be controlled by the
summation control function. This function adds the single
shunt-voltage conversions for the desired channels in order to
compare the combined sum to the programmed limit. The Shunt-Voltage
Sum Limit register contains the programmed value that is compared
to the value in the Shunt-Voltage Sum register in order to
determine if the total summed limit is exceeded. If the
shunt-voltage sum limit value is exceeded, the critical alert pin
pulls low.

For the summation limit to have a meaningful value, it is necessary
to use the same shunt-resistor value on all included channels. Add a
new property, 'summation-bypass', to allow specific channels to be
excluded from the summation control function if the shunt resistor
is different to other channels.
