[PATCH v6 01/11] dt-bindings: iio: adc: hx711: clean up existing binding text

From: Piyush Patle

Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 08:11:31 EST


Rewrite the binding description and property text so it describes the
existing HX711 hardware behavior directly instead of documenting old
driver implementation details.

Also clarify that clock-frequency controls the SCK bit-bang timing.

No functional change.

- Bit-banging driver using two GPIOs:
- - sck-gpio gives a clock to the sensor with 24 cycles for data retrieval
- and up to 3 cycles for selection of the input channel and gain for the
- next measurement
- - dout-gpio is the sensor data the sensor responds to the clock
-
- Specifications about the driver can be found at:
- http://www.aviaic.com/ENProducts.aspx
+ The HX711 is a 24-bit ADC with selectable gain (32/64/128) and two
+ differential input channels. Channel A supports gain 64 and 128;
+ channel B supports gain 32.
