Description

Silicon Labs Series 2 VDAC (Voltage Digital-to-Analog Converter)


The VDAC has two channels, a resolution of 12-bit and a configurable output
range from 0V to 2.5V.

The minimal default configuration for the Silabs VDAC node is as follows:

  #include <zephyr/dt-bindings/dac/silabs-vdac.h>

  &vdac0 {
    status = "okay";
    voltage-reference = "2.5V";
    channel@0 {
      reg = <0>;
      main-output;
    };
  };

Using the main output is the preferred way for any DAC output. Defines like
`VDAC0_CH0_MAIN_OUT_PIN` exists in em_device.h to get the dedicated pin for
your device.

It is also possible to use the auxiliary output to route the output to other
peripherals like the IADC or the ACMP, or to the analog bus to output on any GPIO.
Note that the analog bus multiplexer adds significant impedance, and this option
may not be suitable for certain loads or dynamic conditions.

To connect the analog bus to a GPIO, the `pinctrl` driver must be configured to
allocate an analog bus corresponding to the port and pin of each GPIO input selected.
The following is an example of how that can be configured:

  #include <zephyr/dt-bindings/pinctrl/silabs/xg24-pinctrl.h>
  #include <zephyr/dt-bindings/dac/silabs-vdac.h>

  &pinctrl {
    vdac0_default: vdac0_default {
      group0 {
        silabs,analog-bus = <ABUS_CDODD0_VDAC0CH0>;
      };
      group1 {
        silabs,analog-bus = <ABUS_CDEVEN1_VDAC0CH1>;
      };
  };

  &vdac0 {
    pinctrl-0 = <&vdac0_default>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    status = "okay";
    voltage-reference = "1.25V";
    channel@0 {
      reg = <0>;
      aux-output = <VDAC_OUTPUT_PC1>;
    };
    channel@1 {
      reg = <1>;
      aux-output = <VDAC_OUTPUT_PC2>;
    };
  };

In the above example, note that the device specific bindings for pinctrl
were included. This header defines the set of analog bus allocations possible
for xg24 parts, and similar headers exist for other parts.

Deprecated node specific properties

Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Base properties

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “silabs,vdac” compatible.

Name

Type

Details

#address-cells

int

This property encodes the number of <u32> cells used by address fields
in "reg" properties in this node's children.

For details, see "2.3.5 #address-cells and #size-cells" in Devicetree
Specification v0.4.

Constant value: 1

#size-cells

int

This property encodes the number of <u32> cells used by size fields in
"reg" properties in this node's children.

For details, see "2.3.5 #address-cells and #size-cells" in Devicetree
Specification v0.4.

status

string

Indicates the operational status of the hardware or other
resource that the node represents. In particular:

  - "okay" means the resource is operational and, for example,
    can be used by device drivers
  - "disabled" means the resource is not operational and the system
    should treat it as if it is not present

For details, see "2.3.4 status" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.

Legal values: 'ok', 'okay', 'disabled', 'reserved', 'fail', 'fail-sss'

See Important properties for more information.

compatible

string-array

This property is a list of strings that essentially define what
type of hardware or other resource this devicetree node
represents. Each device driver checks for specific compatible
property values to find the devicetree nodes that represent
resources that the driver should manage.

The recommended format is "vendor,device", The "vendor" part is
an abbreviated name of the vendor. The "device" is usually from
the datasheet.

The compatible property can have multiple values, ordered from
most- to least-specific. Having additional values is useful when the
device is a specific instance of a more general family, to allow the
system to match the most specific driver available.

For details, see "2.3.1 compatible" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.

This property is required.

See Important properties for more information.

reg

array

Information used to address the device. The value is specific to
the device (i.e. is different depending on the compatible
property).

The "reg" property is typically a sequence of (address, length) pairs.
Each pair is called a "register block". Values are
conventionally written in hex.

For details, see "2.3.6 reg" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.

See Important properties for more information.

reg-names

string-array

Optional names given to each register block in the "reg" property.
For example:

  / {
       soc {
           #address-cells = <1>;
           #size-cells = <1>;

           uart@1000 {
               reg = <0x1000 0x2000>, <0x3000 0x4000>;
               reg-names = "foo", "bar";
           };
       };
  };

The uart@1000 node has two register blocks:

  - one with base address 0x1000, size 0x2000, and name "foo"
  - another with base address 0x3000, size 0x4000, and name "bar"

interrupts

array

Information about interrupts generated by the device, encoded as an array
of one or more interrupt specifiers. The format of the data in this property
varies by where the device appears in the interrupt tree. Devices with the same
"interrupt-parent" will use the same format in their interrupts properties.

For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.

See Important properties for more information.

interrupts-extended

compound

Extended interrupt specifier for device, used as an alternative to
the "interrupts" property.

For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.

interrupt-names

string-array

Optional names given to each interrupt generated by a device.
The interrupts themselves are defined in either "interrupts" or
"interrupts-extended" properties.

For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.

interrupt-parent

phandle

If present, this refers to the node which handles interrupts generated
by this device.

For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.

label

string

Human readable string describing the device. Use of this property is
deprecated except as needed on a case-by-case basis.

For details, see "4.1.2 Miscellaneous Properties" in Devicetree
Specification v0.4.

See Important properties for more information.

clocks

phandle-array

Information about the device's clock providers. In general, this property
should follow conventions established in the dt-schema binding:

  https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/clock/clock.yaml

clock-names

string-array

Optional names given to each clock provider in the "clocks" property.

IO channel specifiers relevant to the device.

io-channel-names

string-array

Optional names given to the IO channel specifiers in the "io-channels" property.

mboxes

phandle-array

zephyr,deferred-init

boolean

Do not initialize device automatically on boot. Device should be manually
initialized using device_init().

wakeup-source

boolean

Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.

zephyr,pm-device-runtime-auto

boolean

Automatically configure the device for runtime power management after the
init function runs.
