NAME

Device::Chip::AnalogConverters - a collection of chip drivers

DESCRIPTION

This distribution contains a number of Device::Chip drivers for various ADC and DAC chips.

ADCs

• Device::Chip::ADC121Sx

• Device::Chip::ADS1115

• Device::Chip::LTC2400

• Device::Chip::MCP3221

• Device::Chip::MAX11200

• Device::Chip::MAX1166x

SUGGESTED ADC METHODS

trigger

$chip->trigger( %args )->get

Optional. This method asks the chip to begin taking a reading.

read_adc

$value = $chip->read_adc->get

Obtains the most recent reading performed by the chip, as a plain integer value. This may be signed or unsigned, scaled to whatever precision the chip works at.

read_adc_voltage

$voltage = $chip->read_adc_voltage->get

If the chip contains an internal reference, or in some other way the scale is known by the driver, this method should be provided that converts the result of "read_adc" into an actual signed voltage.

read_adc_ratio

$ratio = $chip->read_adc_ratio->get

If the chip (driver) does not have a reference to scale convert the output directly to a voltage level, then this method should be provided instead that merely scales the raw reading down by a factor such that the returned value is a floating-point number between 0 and 1 for unipolar (single-ended unsigned) readings, or between -1 and 1 for bipolar (differential signed) readings.

DACs

• Device::Chip::AD5691R

• Device::Chip::DAC7513

• Device::Chip::DAC7571

• Device::Chip::MCP4725

SUGGESTED DAC METHODS

write_dac

$chip->write_dac( $value )->get

Sets the value of the DAC's output as a plain integer value. This may be signed or unsigned, scaled to whatever precision the chip works at.

write_dac_voltage

$chip->write_dac_voltage( $voltage )->get

If the chip contains an internal reference, or in some other way the scale is known by the driver, this method should be provided that converts the given voltage into a raw value to invoke "write_dac" with.

write_dac_ratio

$chip->write_dac_ratio( $ratio )->get

If the chip (driver) does not have a reference to scale convert a given voltage to a DAC code value, then this method should be provided instead that takes a given ratio, as a floating-point number between 0 and 1 for unipolar (single-ended unsigned) outputs or between -1 and 1 for bipolar (differential signed) outputs, and scales it by a suitable factor.
