This is a Linux industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem driver, targeting multi-channel serial interface DACs. The industrial I/O subsystem provides a unified framework for drivers for many different types of converters and sensors using a number of different physical interfaces (i2c, spi, etc). See IIO for more information.

The reference voltage may vary between boards and models. The platform_data for the device's “struct device” holds this information.

static struct ad5504_platform_data ad5504_pdata = {
	.vref_mv = 30000,
};

Below example specifies a 30 Volt reference for the SPI device 3 on SPI-Bus 0. (spi0.3)

Depending on the converter IC used, you may need to set the modalias accordingly, matching your part name. It may also required to adjust max_speed_hz. Please consult the datasheet, for maximum spi clock supported by the device in question.

static struct spi_board_info board_spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
#if defined(CONFIG_AD5504) || /
 	defined(CONFIG_AD5504_MODULE)
	{
		/* the modalias must be the same as spi device driver name */
		.modalias = "ad5504", /* Name of spi_driver for this device */
		.max_speed_hz = 1000000,     /* max spi clock (SCK) speed in HZ */
		.bus_num = 0, /* Framework bus number */
		.chip_select = 3, /* Framework chip select */
		.mode = SPI_MODE_1,
		.irq = IRQ_PF2,
	},
#endif

Description:
scale to be applied to out_voltage0_raw in order to obtain the measured voltage in millivolts.

root:/sys/devices/platform/bfin-spi.0/spi0.3/iio:device0> cat out_voltage_scale

Description:
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_voltageY_raw

Raw (unscaled, no bias etc.) output voltage for channel Y.

root:/sys/devices/platform/bfin-spi.0/spi0.3/iio:device0> echo 1234 > out0_raw

U = out_voltage0_raw * out_voltage_scale = 1234 * 7.324 = 9037,816 mV

/sys/bus/iio/devices/deviceX/out_voltage_powerdown_mode_available

Description:
Lists all available output power down modes.

20kohm_to_gnd three_state

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_voltage_powerdown_mode

Description:
Specifies the output power down mode. DAC output stage is disconnected from the amplifier and

For a list of available output power down options read out_voltageX_powerdown_mode_available.

root:/sys/devices/platform/bfin-spi.0/spi0.3/iio:device0> echo three_state > out_voltage_powerdown_mode

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_voltageY_powerdown

Description:
Writing 1 causes output Y to enter the power down mode specified by the corresponding out_voltageY_powerdown_mode. Clearing returns to normal operation. Y may be suppressed if all outputs are controlled together.
