22Description
23-----------
24
25The A/D converters MAX197, and MAX199 are both 8-Channel, Multi-Range, 5V,
2612-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface and Fault Protection.
27
28The available ranges for the MAX197 are {0,-5V} to 5V, and {0,-10V} to 10V,
29while they are {0,-2V} to 2V, and {0,-4V} to 4V on the MAX199.

31Platform data
32-------------
33
34The MAX197 platform data (defined in linux/platform_data/max197.h) should be
35filled with a pointer to a conversion function, defined like::
36
37    int convert(u8 ctrl);
38
39ctrl is the control byte to write to start a new conversion.
40On success, the function must return the 12-bit raw value read from the chip,
41or a negative error code otherwise.

43Control byte format:

58  in[0-7]_input  The conversion value for the corresponding channel.
59		 RO

61  in[0-7]_min    The lower limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
62		 For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to -10000, -5000, or 0.
63		 For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to -4000, -2000, or 0.
64		 RW
65
66  in[0-7]_max    The higher limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
67		 For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to 0, 5000, or 10000.
68		 For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to 0, 2000, or 4000.
