[PATCH v12 15/16] dt-bindings: iio: afe: add bindings for temperature-sense-rtd

[Liam Beguin]

An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. This
binding describe one case, the measurement of a temperature through the
voltage across an RTD resistor such as a PT1000.

+description: |
+  RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) are a kind of temperature sensors
+  used to get a linear voltage to temperature reading within a give range
+  (usually 0 to 100 degrees Celsius).
+
+  When an io-channel measures the output voltage across an RTD such as a
+  PT1000, the interesting measurement is almost always the corresponding
+  temperature, not the voltage output. This binding describes such a circuit.
+
+  The general transfer function here is (using SI units)
+
+    V = R(T) * iexc
+    R(T) = r0 * (1 + alpha * T)
+    T = 1 / (alpha * r0 * iexc) * (V - r0 * iexc)
+
+  The following circuit matches what's in the examples section.

+      alpha can also be expressed in micro-ohms per ohm Celsius. It's a linear

+      between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius.
+
+      alpha = (R_100 - R_0) / (100 * R_0)
+
+      Where, R_100 is the resistance of the sensor at 100 degrees Celsius, and
+      R_0 (or r-naught-ohms) is the resistance of the sensor at 0 degrees
+      Celsius.
+
+      Pure platinum has an alpha of 3925. Industry standards such as IEC60751
+      and ASTM E-1137 specify an alpha of 3850.
