Pin configuration/s for the fifth state. See pinctrl-0.

pinctrl-names

string-array

Names for the provided states. The number of names needs to match the
number of states.

This property is required.

prescaler

int

CPU clock prescaler applied to get the ADC clock.

This property is required.

startup-time

int

ADC startup time in ADC clock cycles.

This property is required.

Legal values: 0, 8, 16, 24, 64, 80, 96, 112, 512, 576, 640, 704, 768, 832, 896, 960

settling-time

int

ADC settling time in ADC clock cycles. When the gain, offset
or differential input parameters of the analog cell change
between two channels, the analog cell may need a specific
settling time before starting the tracking phase.

This property is required.

Legal values: 3, 5, 9, 17

tracking-time

int

ADC tracking time in ADC clock cycles. A minimal tracking time
is necessary for the ADC to guarantee the best converted final
value between two channel selections.

This property is required.

Legal values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

This property is required.

Legal values: 'ADC_GAIN_1_6', 'ADC_GAIN_1_5', 'ADC_GAIN_1_4', 'ADC_GAIN_1_3', 'ADC_GAIN_2_5', 'ADC_GAIN_1_2', 'ADC_GAIN_2_3', 'ADC_GAIN_4_5', 'ADC_GAIN_1', 'ADC_GAIN_2', 'ADC_GAIN_3', 'ADC_GAIN_4', 'ADC_GAIN_6', 'ADC_GAIN_8', 'ADC_GAIN_12', 'ADC_GAIN_16', 'ADC_GAIN_24', 'ADC_GAIN_32', 'ADC_GAIN_64', 'ADC_GAIN_128'

zephyr,reference

string

Reference selection:
- ADC_REF_VDD_1:     VDD
- ADC_REF_VDD_1_2:   VDD/2
- ADC_REF_VDD_1_3:   VDD/3
- ADC_REF_VDD_1_4:   VDD/4
- ADC_REF_INTERNAL:  Internal
- ADC_REF_EXTERNAL0: External, input 0
- ADC_REF_EXTERNAL1: External, input 1

This property is required.

Legal values: 'ADC_REF_VDD_1', 'ADC_REF_VDD_1_2', 'ADC_REF_VDD_1_3', 'ADC_REF_VDD_1_4', 'ADC_REF_INTERNAL', 'ADC_REF_EXTERNAL0', 'ADC_REF_EXTERNAL1'

zephyr,vref-mv

int

This property can be used to specify the voltage (in millivolts)
of the reference selected for this channel, so that applications
can get that value if needed for some calculations.
For the internal reference, the voltage can be usually obtained with
a dedicated ADC API call, so there is no need to use this property
in that case, but for other references this property can be useful.

zephyr,acquisition-time

int

Acquisition time.
Use the ADC_ACQ_TIME macro to compose the value for this property
or pass ADC_ACQ_TIME_DEFAULT to use the default setting for a given
hardware (e.g. when the hardware does not allow to configure the
acquisition time).

This property is required.

zephyr,differential

boolean

When set, selects differential input mode for the channel. Otherwise,
single-ended mode is used unless the zephyr,input-negative property is
specified, in which case the differential mode is selected implicitly.

zephyr,input-positive

int

Positive ADC input. Used only for drivers that select
the ADC_CONFIGURABLE_INPUTS Kconfig option.

zephyr,input-negative

int

Negative ADC input. Used only for drivers that select
the ADC_CONFIGURABLE_INPUTS Kconfig option.
When specified, implies the differential input mode for the channel.

zephyr,resolution

int

ADC resolution to be used for the channel.

zephyr,oversampling

int

Oversampling setting to be used for the channel.
When specified, each sample is averaged from 2^N conversion results
(where N is the provided value).

zephyr,current-source-pin

uint8-array

Output pin selection for the current sources. The actual
interpretation depends on the driver. This is used only for drivers
which select the ADC_CONFIGURABLE_EXCITATION_CURRENT_SOURCE_PIN
Kconfig option.

zephyr,vbias-pins

int

Output pin selection for the bias voltage. The actual interpretation
depends on the driver. This is used only for drivers which select
the ADC_CONFIGURABLE_VBIAS_PIN Kconfig option.
