The Analog Devices Inc. AD7606 (and similar chips) are complex ADCs that will benefit from a detailed driver documentation. This documents the current features supported by the driver.

The driver +currently supports only 1 SDO line. + +Parallel wiring mode +-------------------- + +There is also a parallel interface, with 16 lines (that can be reduced to 8 in +byte mode). The parallel interface is selected by declaring the device as +platform in the device tree (with no io-backends node defined, see below). + +IIO-backend mode +---------------- + +This mode allows to reach the best sample rates, but it requires an external +hardware (eg HDL or APU) to handle the low level communication. +The backend mode is enabled when through the definition of the "io-backends" +property in the device tree. + +The reference configuration for the current implementation of IIO-backend mode +is the HDL reference provided by ADI: +https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/ad7606x-fmc/hdl + +This implementation embeds an IIO-backend compatible IP (adi-axi-adc) and a PWM +connected to the conversion trigger pin. + +.. code-block:: + + +---+ +---------------------------- + | | +-------+ |AD76xx + | A | controls | | | + | D |-------------->| PWM |-------------->| cnvst + | 7 | | | | + | 6 | +-------+ | + | 0 | controls +-----------+-----------+ | + | 6 |---------->| | |<--| frstdata + | | | Backend | Backend |<--| busy + | D | | Driver | | | + | R | | | |-->| clk + | I | requests |+---------+| DMA | | + | V |----------->| Buffer ||<---- |<=>| DATA + | E | |+---------+| | | + | R | +-----------+-----------+ | + | |-------------------------------------->| reset/configuration gpios + +---+ +----------------------------- + + +Software and hardware modes +--------------------------- + +While all the AD7606/AD7616 series parts can be configured using GPIOs, some of +them can be configured using register. + +The chips that support software mode have more values available for configuring +the device, as well as more settings, and allow to control the range and +calibration per channel. + +The following settings are available per channel in software mode: + - Scale + +Also, there is a broader choice of oversampling ratios in software mode. + +Conversion triggering +--------------------- + +The conversion can be triggered by two distinct ways: + + - A GPIO is connected to the conversion trigger pin, and this GPIO is controlled + by the driver directly. In this configuration, the driver sets back the + conversion trigger pin to high as soon as it has read all the conversions. + + - An external source is connected to the conversion trigger pin. In the + current implementation, it must be a PWM. In this configuration, the driver + does not control directly the conversion trigger pin. Instead, it can + control the PWM's frequency. This trigger is enabled only for iio-backend. + +Reference voltage +----------------- + +2 possible reference voltage sources are supported: + + - Internal reference (2.5V) + - External reference (2.5V) + +The source is determined by the device tree. If ``refin-supply`` is present, +then the external reference is used, otherwise the internal reference is used. + +Oversampling +------------ + +This family supports oversampling to improve SNR. +In software mode, the following ratios are available: +1 (oversampling disabled)/2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256. + +Unimplemented features +---------------------- + +- 2/4/8 SDO lines +- CRC indication +- Calibration + +Device buffers +============== + +IIO triggered buffer +-------------------- + +This driver supports IIO triggered buffers, with a "built in" trigger, i.e the +trigger is allocated and linked by the driver, and a new conversion is triggered +as soon as the samples are transferred, and a timestamp channel is added to make +up for the potential jitter induced by the delays in the interrupt handling. + +IIO backend buffer +------------------ + +When IIO backend is used, the trigger is not needed, and the sample rate is +considered as stable. There is no timestamp channel. The communication is +delegated to an external logic, called a backend, and the backend's driver +handles the buffer. When this mode is enabled, the driver cannot control the +conversion pin, because the busy pin is bound to the backend. + diff --git a/Documentation/iio/index.rst b/Documentation/iio/index.rst index dfcf9618568a..88bc36326b74 100644 --- a/Documentation/iio/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/iio/index.rst @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ Industrial I/O Kernel Drivers ad4000 ad4695 ad7380 + ad7606 ad7944 adis16475 adis16480 diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 32719c014888..2793a5765fa8 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -1572,6 +1572,7 @@ F: Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-frequency-adf4350 F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/*/adi,* F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/lltc,ltc2496.yaml F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/lltc,ltc2497.yaml +F: Documentation/iio/ad7606.rst F: drivers/iio/*/ad* F: drivers/iio/adc/ltc249* F: drivers/iio/amplifiers/hmc425a.c -- 2.34.1
