AD7303 IIO DAC Linux Driver

Supported Devices

Evaluation Boards

Description

This is a Linux industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem driver, targeting single-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.

Example platform device initialization

Devicetree

Required devicetree properties:

  • compatible: Needs to be “adi,” followed by the name of the device. E.g. “adi,ad5541a”
  • reg: The chipselect number used for the device
  • spi-max-frequency: Maximum SPI clock frequency
  • Vdd-supply: VDD voltage supply regulator

Optional devicetree properties:

  • REF-supply: external reference voltage supply regulator. This should only be set if there is an external reference voltage connected to the REF pin. If not set, Vdd/2 is used as the reference voltage.
       dac_vdd: fixedregulator@0 {
              compatible = "regulator-fixed";
              regulator-name = "fixed-supply";
              regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
              regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
              regulator-boot-on;
       };

       axi_spi_0: spi@42000000 {
              #address-cells = <1>;
              #size-cells = <0>;
              compatible = "xlnx,axi-spi-1.02.a", "xlnx,xps-spi-2.00.a";
               ...
              ad7303@0 {
                     compatible = "adi,ad7303";
                     reg = <0>;
                     spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
                     Vdd-supply = <&dac_vdd>;
              };
        };

Driver testing

Each and every IIO device, typically a hardware chip, has a device folder under /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX. Where X is the IIO index of the device. Under every of these directory folders reside a set of files, depending on the characteristics and features of the hardware device in question. These files are consistently generalized and documented in the IIO ABI documentation. In order to determine which IIO deviceX corresponds to which hardware device, the user can read the name file /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/name. In case the sequence in which the iio device drivers are loaded/registered is constant, the numbering is constant and may be known in advance.

Show device name

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat name
ad7303

Show scale

Description:
scale to be applied to out_voltage0_raw and out_voltage1_raw in order to obtain the measured voltage in millivolts.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat out_voltage_scale
12.890625

Set channel Y output voltage

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

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

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 100 > out_voltage0_raw

U = out_voltage0_raw * out_voltage_scale = 100 * 12.890625 mV = 1289.0625 mV

Enable power down mode on output Y

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

Description:
Writing 1 causes output Y to enter the power down mode. Clearing returns to normal operation.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1 > out_voltage0_powerdown
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat out_voltage0_powerdown
1
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 0 > out_voltage0_powerdown
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat out_voltage0_powerdown
0
