The PCF8591 can't be detected, don't even try. There are plenty of other means to instantiate i2c devices these days. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Cc: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one
|
|
analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors (now NXP).
|
|
It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.
|
|
|
|
The PCF8591 has 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or
|
|
differential inputs :
|
|
- mode 0 : four single ended inputs
|
|
Pins AIN0 to AIN3 are single ended inputs for channels 0 to 3
|
|
|
|
- mode 1 : three differential inputs
|
|
Pins AIN3 is the common negative differential input
|
|
Pins AIN0 to AIN2 are positive differential inputs for channels 0 to 2
|
|
|
|
- mode 2 : single ended and differential mixed
|
|
Pins AIN0 and AIN1 are single ended inputs for channels 0 and 1
|
|
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 3
|
|
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 3
|
|
|
|
- mode 3 : two differential inputs
|
|
Pins AIN0 is the positive differential input for channel 0
|
|
Pins AIN1 is the negative differential input for channel 0
|
|
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 1
|
|
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 1
|

Module parameters
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* input_mode int
|
|
|
|
Analog input mode:
|
|
0 = four single ended inputs
|
|
1 = three differential inputs
|
|
2 = single ended and differential mixed
|
|
3 = two differential inputs
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accessing PCF8591 via /sys interface
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The PCF8591 is plainly impossible to detect! Thus the driver won't even
|
|
try. You have to explicitly instantiate the device at the relevant
|
|
address (in the interval [0x48..0x4f]) either through platform data, or
|
|
using the sysfs interface. See Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Directories are being created for each instantiated PCF8591:
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
|
|
where <0> is the bus the chip is connected to (e. g. i2c-0)
|
|
and <1> the chip address ([48..4f])
|
|
|
|
Inside these directories, there are such files:
|
|
in0_input, in1_input, in2_input, in3_input, out0_enable, out0_output, name
|
|
|
|
Name contains chip name.
|
|
|
|
The in0_input, in1_input, in2_input and in3_input files are RO. Reading gives
|
|
the value of the corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs
|
|
configuration, files in2_input and in3_input may not exist. Values range
|
|
from 0 to 255 for single ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs
|
|
(8-bit ADC).
|
|
|
|
The out0_enable file is RW. Reading gives "1" for analog output enabled and
|
|
"0" for analog output disabled. Writing accepts "0" and "1" accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The out0_output file is RW. Writing a number between 0 and 255 (8-bit DAC), send
|
|
the value to the digital-to-analog converter. Note that a voltage will
|
|
only appears on AOUT pin if aout0_enable equals 1. Reading returns the last
|
|
value written.
