AD5592R IIO DAC/ADC Linux Driver

Supported Devices

Reference Circuits

Evaluation Boards

Description

The AD5592R/AD5592R-1 have eight I/Ox pins (I/O0 to I/O7) that can be independently configured as digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs, digital outputs, or digital inputs.

When an I/Ox pin is configured as an analog output, it is driven by a 12-bit DAC. The output range of the DAC is 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 × VREF.

When an I/Ox pin is configured as an analog input, it is connected to a 12-bit ADC via an analog multiplexer. The input range of the ADC is 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 × VREF. The ADC has a total throughput rate of 400 kSPS.

The I/Ox pins can also be configured as digital, general-purpose input or output (GPIO) pins. The state of the GPIO pins can be set or read back by accessing the GPIO write data register or the GPIO read configuration register, respectively, via a serial peripheral interface (SPI) write or read operation.

The AD5592R/AD5592R-1 have an integrated 2.5 V, 25 ppm/°C reference, which is turned off by default, and an integrated temperature indicator, which gives an indication of the die temperature. The temperature value is read back as part of an ADC read sequence.

Adding Linux driver support

Enabling the driver

Configure kernel with “make menuconfig” (alternatively use “make xconfig” or “make qconfig”)

The AD5592R Driver depends on CONFIG_SPI_MASTER

Adding a device tree entry

Required properties

  • compatible: Must be one of:
    • “adi,ad5592r”
  • reg: SPI chip select number for the device
  • spi-max-frequency: Max SPI frequency to use (< 30000000)
  • spi-cpol: The AD5592R requires inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
  • #address-cells: Should be 1.
  • #size-cells: Should be 0.
  • channel nodes:
    • Each child node represents one channel and has the following
    • Required properties:
    • reg: Pin on which this channel is connected to.
    • adi,mode: Mode or function of this channel. Macros specifying the valid values can be found in <dt-bindings/iio/adi,ad5592r.h>. The following values are currently supported:
      • CH_MODE_UNUSED (the pin is unused)
      • CH_MODE_ADC (the pin is ADC input)
      • CH_MODE_DAC (the pin is DAC output)
      • CH_MODE_DAC_AND_ADC (the pin is DAC output but can be monitored by an ADC, since there is no disadvantage this this should be considered as the preferred DAC mode)
      • CH_MODE_GPIO (the pin is registered with GPIOLIB)
  • Optional properties:
  • adi,off-state: State of this channel when unused or the device is removed. Macros specifying the valid values can be found in <dt-bindings/iio/adi,ad5592r.h>.
    • CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN (the pin is pulled down)
    • CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_LOW (the pin is output low)
    • CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_HIGH (the pin is output high)
    • CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_TRISTATE (the pin is tristated output)

Optional properties

  • vref-supply: Phandle to the external reference voltage supply. This should only be set if there is an external reference voltage connected to the VREF pin. If the property is not set the internal 2.5V reference is used.
  • reset-gpios : GPIO spec for the RESET pin. If specified, it will be asserted during driver probe.
  • gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
  • #gpio-cells: Should be 2. The first cell is the GPIO number and the second cell specifies GPIO flags, as defined in <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>.

Device tree example

The following example instanciates the ad5592r driver for a AD5592R device connected on the SPI bus to the chip-select line 0. It sets the I/O0 port as a DAC, the I/O1 port as ADC. I/O2 and I/O3 are configured for primary function DAC the additional ADC can measure the voltage being provided by the DAC. This feature can monitor the output voltage to detect short circuits or overload conditions. I/O4 is connected to the ground with a pull-down resistor. The other I/Os are registered with the Linux GPIO subsystem.

	#include <dt-bindings/iio/adi,ad5592r.h>

	vref: regulator-vref {
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		regulator-name = "vref-ad559x";
		regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-always-on;
	};

	ad5592r@0 {
		#size-cells = <0>;
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		compatible = "adi,ad5592r";
		reg = <0>;

		spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
		spi-cpol;

		vref-supply = <&vref>; /* optional */
		reset-gpios = <&gpio0 86 0>;  /* optional */
		gpio-controller;

		channel@0 {
			reg = <0>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_DAC>;
		};
		channel@1 {
			reg = <1>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_ADC>;
		};
		channel@2 {
			reg = <2>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_DAC_AND_ADC>;
		};
		channel@3 {
			reg = <3>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_DAC_AND_ADC>;
			adi,off-state = <CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN>;
		};
		channel@4 {
			reg = <4>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_UNUSED>;
			adi,off-state = <CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN>;
		};
		channel@5 {
			reg = <5>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_GPIO>;
			adi,off-state = <CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN>;
		};
		channel@6 {
			reg = <6>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_GPIO>;
			adi,off-state = <CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN>;
		};
		channel@7 {
			reg = <7>;
			adi,mode = <CH_MODE_GPIO>;
			adi,off-state = <CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN>;
		};
	};

Driver testing

If the driver correctly detected the device, the “iio_info” program should inform us about the available channels:

Scales

The output range of the DAC is 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 × VREF. out_voltage_scale is used to select the high or low range. Without external reference the driver selects the internal 2500mV VREF reference. So the scale computes as 2500mV/2^12 = 0.610351562 or 5000mV/2^12 = 1.220703124.

GPIO Testing

The GPIO sysfs interface allows users to manipulate any GPIO from userspace. Userspace utilizes a sysfs control interface to dynamically request and release individual GPIOs. Once a GPIO has been requested, writing to the newly created path allows you to control the direction and the data while reading from it returns the GPIO data (which usually corresponds to a 0 or 1 which represents the signal level).
