Kernel-4.18.0-80.el8_vctrl

Bindings for Voltage controlled regulators

Required properties:

  • compatible : must be “vctrl-regulator”.
  • regulator-min-microvolt : smallest voltage consumers may set
  • regulator-max-microvolt : largest voltage consumers may set
  • ctrl-supply : The regulator supplying the control voltage.
  • ctrl-voltage-range : an array of two integer values describing the range
              (min/max) of the control voltage. The values specify
              the control voltage needed to generate the corresponding
              regulator-min/max-microvolt output voltage.
    

Optional properties:

  • ovp-threshold-percent : overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of the
            regulator in percent. Some regulators have an OVP
            circuitry which shuts down the regulator when the
            actual output voltage deviates beyond a certain
            margin from the expected value for a given control
            voltage. On larger voltage decreases this can occur
            undesiredly since the output voltage does not adjust
            inmediately to changes in the control voltage. To
            avoid this situation the vctrl driver breaks down
            larger voltage decreases into multiple steps, where
            each step is within the OVP threshold.
    
  • min-slew-down-rate : Describes how slowly the regulator voltage will decay
            down in the worst case (lightest expected load).
            Specified in uV / us (like main regulator ramp rate).
            This value is required when ovp-threshold-percent is
            specified.
    

Example:

vctrl-reg {
    compatible = "vctrl-regulator";
    regulator-name = "vctrl_reg";

    ctrl-supply = <&ctrl_reg>;

    regulator-min-microvolt = <800000>;
    regulator-max-microvolt = <1500000>;

    ctrl-voltage-range = <200000 500000>;

    min-slew-down-rate = <225>;
    ovp-threshold-percent = <16>;
};
