[PATCH 0/6] iio: adc: Add AD7768/AD7768-4 ADC driver support
From: Janani Sunil
Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 04:52:54 EST
Add support for Analog Devices AD7768 and AD7768-4, 24-bit simultaneous
sampling Sigma-Delta ADCs with configurable power and performance modes.
Datasheet:
https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ad7768.pdf
**Device Overview:**
The AD7768 is an 8-channel, 24-bit simultaneous sampling ADC. The
AD7768-4 is a 4-channel variant. Both support configurable power modes,
programmable decimation filters, and a high-speed serial interface with
1, 2, 4, or 8 data output lines. Per-channel offset, gain, and phase
calibration registers are available.
**Features Implemented:**
- Support for AD7768 (8-channel) and AD7768-4 (4-channel) via device
match data.
- Configurable power modes (fast, median, low power) with associated
decimation rate and output data rate tables.
- Per-channel offset, gain, and phase calibration via IIO attributes.
- SPI communication with custom regmap bus for the device's protocol.
- IIO backend integration with adi-axi-adc for high-speed data capture.
- CRC data integrity verification over the serial interface.
- GPIO auxiliary driver to expose the 5 on-chip GPIO pins.
**Patch Summary:**
1. **dt-bindings**: Binding documentation for AD7768 and AD7768-4,
covering SPI interface, clock, power supplies, reference voltage,
reset GPIO, serial data lane count, and on-chip GPIO controller.
2. **iio: backend**: Add CRC enable/disable backend operation for data
integrity verification over the high-speed serial interface.
3. **iio: adi-axi-adc**: Implement the new CRC backend operation.
4. **driver**: Core IIO driver for AD7768/AD7768-4 with regmap, power
mode, calibration, and IIO backend support. Registers an auxiliary
device to expose the GPIO functionality.
5. **gpio**: Auxiliary bus GPIO driver for the AD7768's 5 general-purpose
I/O pins, reusing the parent's regmap and runtime PM.
6. **docs**: Driver documentation.
**Testing:**
The driver was compiled and tested on the EVAL-AD7768FMCZ using a
Zedboard with a mainline kernel.
**Driver Rationale:**
The AD7768/AD7768-4 warrants its own driver due to several
device-specific characteristics:
1. A custom SPI framing protocol: register reads and writes use 16-bit
frames with embedded read/write bits and register address fields,
requiring a custom regmap bus implementation rather than the standard
SPI regmap backend.
2. A coupled power mode / sample rate model: available output data rates
are not a flat list but depend on the active power mode (fast, median,
low power), each with its own set of valid decimation rates. This
relationship must be managed in the driver.
3. Simultaneous sampling across all channels with per-channel calibration
registers (24-bit offset, gain, and phase) that are laid out
differently between the 8-channel AD7768 and the 4-channel AD7768-4,
requiring device-specific register mapping.
4. IIO backend integration for high-speed data capture via adi-axi-adc,
including CRC data integrity verification over the serial interface.
5. On-chip GPIO: 5 general-purpose I/O pins exposed via an auxiliary bus
driver, sharing the parent's regmap and runtime PM.
