TI_ADC(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual TI_ADC(4)
NAME
ti_adc - TI AM3XXX analog to digital converter driver
SYNOPSIS
device ti_adc
DESCRIPTION
The ti_adc driver provides access to the AIN (analog inputs) on am3xxx
SoCs.
It provides raw readings of the converted values for each analog inputs.
The access to ti_adc data is made via the sysctl(8) interface:

On Beaglebone-black the analog input 7 is connected to the 3V3B rail
through a voltage divisor (2:1). The 3V3B voltage rail comes from the
TL5209 LDO regulator which is limited to 500mA maximum.
Global settings:
Settings per input:
dev.ti_adc.0.ain.%d.enable Enable the conversion for the input.
Each input should be individually
enabled before it can be used. When all
the inputs are disabled, the ADC is
turned off.
dev.ti_adc.0.ain.%d.open_delay Sets the number of ADC clock cycles to
wait after applying the input
configuration and before start the ADC
conversion.
dev.ti_adc.0.ain.%d.samples_avg Sets the number of samples average used
on each input, it can be set to 0 (no
samples average), 2, 4, 8, or 16.
dev.ti_adc.0.ain.%d.input Is the converted raw value of the
voltage applied on the analog input. It
is made of a 12 bit value (0 ~ 4095).
