[PATCH v4 0/4] iio: adc: Add support for LTC2378 and similar ADCs
From: Marcelo Schmitt
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 10:35:13 EST
This patch series adds support for LTC2378 and similar low noise, low power,
high speed, successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs. These ADCs are similar
among each other, varying mainly on the amount of precision bits, maximum sample
rate, and input configuration (either fully differential or pseudo-differential).
Patch 1 adds device tree documentation for LTC2378.
Patch 2 enables single-shot sample read with a GPIO connected to the LTC2378 CNV pin.
Patch 3 enables high-speed data captures with SPI offloading.
The setup is similar to AD4030, with a specialized PWM generator being used both
for SPI offload triggering and conversion start signaling.
Patch 4 enables running buffered data captures without SPI offloading.
Even though these parts are somewhat similar to AD4000, the wiring configuration
for LTC parts is different as well as the available HDL for high speed sample
rate mode. Because of that, I propose creating a new device driver for
supporting LTC2378-like devices.

Despite the initial version of the LTC2378 driver had been developed by
Ioan-Daniel. The current version has been greatly rewritten such that very
little remained from that initial version. Due to that, having Ioan-Daniel in
the author list now seems inaccurate.

Change log v3 -> v4:
[DT]
- Added PWM property.
- Documented LTC2338-18 specific refin-supply.
- Picked up Conor's review tag.
[IIO]
- Dropped DMAengine buffer changes.
- Reworked the driver to make IIO channels static according to v3 feedback.
- Updated to use default 8 bits_per_word for non-offloaded transfers.
- Handled refin voltage reference supply for LTC2338.
- Used spi_bpw_to_bytes() where applicable.
With best regards,
Marcelo
