+binding for LTC2941 and LTC2943 battery gauges
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Both the LTC2941 and LTC2943 measure battery capacity.
|
|
|
|
+The LTC2943 is compatible with the LTC2941, it adds voltage and
|
|
|
|
+temperature monitoring, and uses a slightly different conversion
|
|
|
|
+formula for the charge counter.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Required properties:
|
|
|
|
+- compatible: Should contain "ltc2941" or "ltc2943" which also indicates the
|
|
|
|
+ type of I2C chip attached.
|
|
|
|
+- reg: The 7-bit I2C address.
|
|
|
|
+- lltc,resistor-sense: The sense resistor value in milli-ohms. Can be a 32-bit
|
|
|
|
+ negative value when the battery has been connected to the wrong end of the
|
|
|
|
+ resistor.
|
|
|
|
+- lltc,prescaler-exponent: The prescaler exponent as explained in the datasheet.
|
|
|
|
+ This determines the range and accuracy of the gauge. The value is programmed
|
|
|
|
+ into the chip only if it differs from the current setting. The setting is
|
|
|
|
+ lost when the battery is disconnected.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Example from the Topic Miami Florida board:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ fuelgauge: ltc2943@64 {
|
|
|
|
+ compatible = "ltc2943";
|
|
|
|
+ reg = <0x64>;
|
|
|
|
+ lltc,resistor-sense = <15>;
|
|
|
|
+ lltc,prescaler-exponent = <5>; /* 2^(2*5) = 1024 */
|
|
|
|
+ };
