25 The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one
26 analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors (now NXP).
27 It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.
29 The PCF8591 has 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or
32 - mode 0 : four single ended inputs
33 Pins AIN0 to AIN3 are single ended inputs for channels 0 to 3
35 - mode 1 : three differential inputs
36 Pins AIN3 is the common negative differential input
37 Pins AIN0 to AIN2 are positive differential inputs for channels 0 to 2
39 - mode 2 : single ended and differential mixed
40 Pins AIN0 and AIN1 are single ended inputs for channels 0 and 1
41 Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 3
42 Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 3
44 - mode 3 : two differential inputs
45 Pins AIN0 is the positive differential input for channel 0
46 Pins AIN1 is the negative differential input for channel 0
47 Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 1
48 Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 1
50 See the datasheet for details.
59 - 0 = four single ended inputs
60 - 1 = three differential inputs
61 - 2 = single ended and differential mixed
62 - 3 = two differential inputs
65 Accessing PCF8591 via /sys interface
66 -------------------------------------
68 The PCF8591 is plainly impossible to detect! Thus the driver won't even
69 try. You have to explicitly instantiate the device at the relevant
70 address (in the interval [0x48..0x4f]) either through platform data, or
71 using the sysfs interface. See Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst
74 Directories are being created for each instantiated PCF8591:
76 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
77 where <0> is the bus the chip is connected to (e. g. i2c-0)
78 and <1> the chip address ([48..4f])
80 Inside these directories, there are such files:
82 in0_input, in1_input, in2_input, in3_input, out0_enable, out0_output, name
84 Name contains chip name.
86 The in0_input, in1_input, in2_input and in3_input files are RO. Reading gives
87 the value of the corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs
88 configuration, files in2_input and in3_input may not exist. Values range
89 from 0 to 255 for single ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs
92 The out0_enable file is RW. Reading gives "1" for analog output enabled and
93 "0" for analog output disabled. Writing accepts "0" and "1" accordingly.
95 The out0_output file is RW. Writing a number between 0 and 255 (8-bit DAC), send
96 the value to the digital-to-analog converter. Note that a voltage will
97 only appears on AOUT pin if aout0_enable equals 1. Reading returns the last
