The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one

analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors. It

is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.

So every chip with address in the interval [0x48..0x4f] is

On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
|
||||
created for each detected PCF8591:
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/bus/devices/<0>-<1>/
|
||||
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
|
||||
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
|
||||
and <1> the chip address ([48..4f])
|
||||
|
||||
Inside these directories, there are such files:
|
||||
in0, in1, in2, in3, out0_enable, out0_output, name
|
||||
in0_input, in1_input, in2_input, in3_input, out0_enable, out0_output, name

|

Name contains chip name.
|

|
||||
The in0, in1, in2 and in3 files are RO. Reading gives the value of the
|
||||
corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs configuration,
|
||||
files in2 and/or in3 do not exist. Values range are from 0 to 255 for single
|

ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs (8-bit ADC).
