[PATCH v7 6/8] dt-bindings: iio: adc: document diff-channels corner case for some ADCs

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

 



Some ADCs have channels with negative and positive inputs, which can be
used to measure differential voltage levels. These inputs/pins are
dedicated (to the given channel) and cannot be muxed as with other ADCs.

For those types of setups, the 'diff-channels' property can be specified to
be used with the channel number (or reg property) for both negative and
positive inputs/pins.
