+Voltage divider
|
|
|
+===============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
|
|
|
+interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
|
|
|
+of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
|
|
|
+a curcuit.

|
+Required properties:
|
|
|
+- compatible : "voltage-divider"
|
|
|
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel measuring Vout.
|
|
|
+- output-ohms : Resistance Rout over which the output voltage is measured.
|
|
|
+ See full-ohms.
|
|
|
+- full-ohms : Resistance R + Rout for the full divider. The io-channel
|
|
|
+ is scaled by the Rout / (R + Rout) quotient.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Example:
|
|
|
+The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/222
|
|
|
+voltage divider (R = 200 Ohms, Rout = 22 Ohms) and fed to an ADC.
