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 AD538X/AD539X can either use an internal or an external reference voltage. To use an external reference voltage use the regulator framework to provide a regulator supply. The supply should be called “vref”.

Below example specifies a 2.5 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 IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_AD5380)
	{
		/* the modalias must be the same as spi device driver name */
		.modalias = "ad5380-5", /* 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,
	},
#endif

Depending on the converter IC used, you may need to set the modalias accordingly, matching your part name.

The I2C device id depends on the AD0 and AD1 pin settings and needs to be set according to your board setup.

In this example we assume ADDR0=0 and ADDR1=0.

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

scale to be applied to out_voltageY_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 10000 > out_voltage0_raw

U = out_voltage0_raw * out_voltage0_scale = 10000 * 0,305000 mV = 305,00 mV

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

Each channel has an adjustable gain which can be used to calibrate the channel's scale and compensate for full-scale errors. The default value is 16382. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 16383.

If scale calibration is used the following formula can be used calculate the output voltage:
U = ( ( out_voltageY_raw * ( out_voltageY_calibscale + 2) ) / 2^14 + out_voltageY_calibbias ) * out_voltageY_scale

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

Each channel has an adjustable offset which can be used to calibrate the channel's offset and compensate for zero-scale errors. The default value is 0. The minimum value is -8192, the maximum value is 8191.

If offset calibration is used the following formula can be used calculate the output voltage:
U = ( ( out_voltageY_raw * ( out_voltageY_calibscale + 2 ) ) / 2^14 + out_voltageY_calibbias ) * out_voltageY_scale
