Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] dt-bindings: iio: adc: avia-hx711: add avia,hx710b compatible
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:39:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427100950.33936-2-piyushpatle228@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427100950.33936-1-piyushpatle228@gmail.com>
The HX710B shares the same two-wire interface as the HX711 but differs
in its channel and gain model: gain is fixed at 128 and the number of
trailing PD_SCK pulses selects the input channel rather than the gain.
Add avia,hx710b to the compatible enum. Document the chip differences
in the description and add chip-specific supply properties (dvdd-supply,
vsup-supply, vref-supply) and a rate-gpios property for the HX711 RATE
pin. Add allOf constraints that forbid HX711-only properties on HX710B
nodes and vice versa. Clarify the clock-frequency description to
reflect its actual purpose: controlling the SCK bit-bang timing.

Changes in v4:
- Add vref-supply for the HX710B VREF reference voltage pin.
- Remove dvdd-supply from the HX710B forbidden properties list; the
HX710B has a DVDD supply and the DVDD-AVDD channel relies on it.
- Add allOf block forbidding vref-supply on HX711 nodes.
- Add an HX710B example showing vref-supply.
- Update description: avoid specific channel-number references in
hardware text.
Changes in v3:
- Drop the vref-supply mention from avdd-supply; no such binding
property exists.
- Drop the clock-frequency sentence that repeated the schema default.
- Restore the example node name to weight.
- Remove the separate HX710B example.
Changes in v2:
- Remove driver implementation details from the description and describe
hardware behaviour only.
- Drop unrelated punctuation cleanup.
- Add dvdd-supply and vsup-supply optional properties for HX711.
- Add rate-gpios optional property for the HX711 RATE pin and forbid it
on HX710B.
- Add the allOf if/then block forbidding HX711-only properties on
HX710B nodes.
- Clarify clock-frequency as SCK bit-bang timing, not a crystal or
external clock input.
- Sort compatible enum alphabetically.
- Remove redundant example comments.
- Update the HX711 example to exercise rate-gpios.

- 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
+ 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.
- Specifications about the driver can be found at:
- http://www.aviaic.com/ENProducts.aspx
+ The HX710B is a 24-bit ADC with fixed gain of 128. One input measures
+ the differential voltage between the two input pins; a second measures
+ the DVDD-AVDD supply voltage difference for battery level detection.
