[PATCH v7 0/4] iio: adc: Add support for LTC2378 and similar ADCs
From: Marcelo Schmitt
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 17:14:52 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.

Change log v6 -> v7:
[DT]
No changes in device tree doc.
[IIO]
- Extended single-read critical section scope (holding mutex lock longer).
- Added comment about conversion wait time.
- Now keeping validated offload configurations if conversion rate update fails.
- Imported SPI_OFFLOAD name space.
- Replaced DIV_ROUND_UP() by div_u64() to mitigate config check fail due to
different integer rounding.
- When applicable, return early from regulator setup.
- Separate macros for offload and non-offload channels.
- Moved ltc2378_prepare_offload_message() downwards in source code.
- Wrapped transfer buffer declaration comment closer to 80 characters.
- Picked up review tags.
With best regards,
Marcelo
