Functions

int adc_gain_invert(enum adc_gain gain, int32_t *value)¶

Invert the application of gain to a measurement value.

For example, if the gain passed in is ADC_GAIN_1_6 and the referenced value is 10, the value after the function returns is 60.

Parameters

gain: the gain used to amplify the input signal.
value: a pointer to a value that initially has the effect of the applied gain but has that effect removed when this function successfully returns. If the gain cannot be reversed the value remains unchanged.

Return Value

0: if the gain was successfully reversed
-EINVAL: if the gain could not be interpreted

int adc_raw_to_millivolts(int32_t ref_mv, enum adc_gain gain, uint8_t resolution, int32_t *valp)¶

Convert a raw ADC value to millivolts.

This function performs the necessary conversion to transform a raw ADC measurement to a voltage in millivolts.

Parameters

ref_mv: the reference voltage used for the measurement, in millivolts. This may be from adc_ref_internal() or a known external reference.
gain: the ADC gain configuration used to sample the input
resolution: the number of bits in the absolute value of the sample. For differential sampling this may be one less than the resolution in struct adc_sequence.
valp: pointer to the raw measurement value on input, and the corresponding millivolt value on successful conversion. If conversion fails the stored value is left unchanged.

Return Value

0: on successful conversion
-EINVAL: if the gain is not reversible

int adc_channel_setup(const struct device *dev, const struct adc_channel_cfg *channel_cfg)¶

Configure an ADC channel.

It is required to call this function and configure each channel before it is selected for a read request.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
channel_cfg: Channel configuration.

Return Value

0: On success.
-EINVAL: If a parameter with an invalid value has been provided.

int adc_read(const struct device *dev, const struct adc_sequence *sequence)¶

Set a read request.

If invoked from user mode, any sequence struct options for callback must be NULL.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
sequence: Structure specifying requested sequence of samplings.

Return Value

0: On success.
-EINVAL: If a parameter with an invalid value has been provided.
-ENOMEM: If the provided buffer is to small to hold the results of all requested samplings.
-ENOTSUP: If the requested mode of operation is not supported.
-EBUSY: If another sampling was triggered while the previous one was still in progress. This may occur only when samplings are done with intervals, and it indicates that the selected interval was too small. All requested samples are written in the buffer, but at least some of them were taken with an extra delay compared to what was scheduled.

uint16_t adc_ref_internal(const struct device *dev)¶

Get the internal reference voltage.

Returns the voltage corresponding to ADC_REF_INTERNAL, measured in millivolts.

Return: a positive value is the reference voltage value. Returns zero if reference voltage information is not available.

struct adc_channel_cfg¶: #include <adc.h>
Structure for specifying the configuration of an ADC channel.

struct adc_sequence_options¶: #include <adc.h>
Structure defining additional options for an ADC sampling sequence.

struct adc_sequence¶: #include <adc.h>
Structure defining an ADC sampling sequence.

struct adc_driver_api¶

#include <adc.h>

ADC driver API.

This is the mandatory API any ADC driver needs to expose.
