Kernel-4.18.0-80.el8_dpot-dac

Bindings for DAC emulation using a digital potentiometer

It is assumed that the dpot is used as a voltage divider between the
current dpot wiper setting and the maximum resistance of the dpot. The
divided voltage is provided by a vref regulator.

Required properties:

  • compatible: Should be “dpot-dac”
  • vref-supply: The regulator supplying the voltage divider.
  • io-channels: Channel node of the dpot to be used for the voltage division.
  • io-channel-names: Should be “dpot”.

Example:

&i2c {
    dpot: mcp4651-503@28 {
        compatible = "microchip,mcp4651-503";
        reg = <0x28>;
        #io-channel-cells = <1>;
    };
};

dac {
    compatible = "dpot-dac";
    vref-supply = <&reg_3v3>;
    io-channels = <&dpot 0>;
    io-channel-names = "dpot";
};
