The Analog Devices Inc. AD4695 (and similar chips) are complex ADCs that
will benefit from a detailed driver documentation.

This documents the current features supported by the driver.

+AD4695 driver
+=============
+
+ADC driver for Analog Devices Inc. AD4695 and similar devices. The module name
+is ``ad4695``.
+
+
+Supported devices
+=================
+
+The following chips are supported by this driver:
+
+* `AD4695 <https://www.analog.com/AD4695>`_
+* `AD4696 <https://www.analog.com/AD4696>`_
+* `AD4697 <https://www.analog.com/AD4697>`_
+* `AD4698 <https://www.analog.com/AD4698>`_
+
+
+Supported features
+==================
+
+SPI wiring modes
+----------------
+
+The driver currently supports the following SPI wiring configuration:
+
+4-wire mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In this mode, CNV and CS are tied together and there is a single SDO line.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    +-------------+         +-------------+
+    |          CS |<-+------| CS          |
+    |         CNV |<-+      |             |
+    |     ADC     |         |     HOST    |
+    |             |         |             |
+    |         SDI |<--------| SDO         |
+    |         SDO |-------->| SDI         |
+    |        SCLK |<--------| SCLK        |
+    +-------------+         +-------------+
+
+To use this mode, in the device tree, omit the ``cnv-gpios`` and
+``spi-rx-bus-width`` properties.
+
+Channel configuration
+---------------------
+
+Since the chip supports multiple ways to configure each channel, this must be
+described in the device tree based on what is actually wired up to the inputs.
+
+There are three typical configurations:
+
+Single-ended where a pin is used with the ``REFGND`` pin, pseudo-differential
+where a pin is used with the ``COM`` pin and differential where two ``INx``
+pins are used as a pair
+
+Single-ended input
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each ``INx`` pin can be used as a single-ended input in conjunction with the
+``REFGND`` pin. The device tree will look like this:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    channel@2 {
+        reg = <2>;
+    };
+
+This will appear on the IIO bus as the ``voltage2`` channel. The processed value
+(*raw × scale*) will be the voltage between the ``INx`` relative to ``REFGND``.
+(Offset is always 0 when pairing with ``REFGND``.)
+
+Pseudo-differential input
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each ``INx`` pin can be used as a pseudo-differential input in conjunction with
+the ``COM`` pin. The device tree will look like this:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    com-supply = <&vref_div_2>;
+
+    channel@3 {
+        reg = <3>;
+        adi,pin-pairing = "com";
+        bipolar;
+    };
+
+This will appear on the IIO bus as the ``voltage3`` channel. The processed value
+(*(raw + offset) × scale*) will be the voltage measured on ``INx`` relative to
+``REFGND``. (The offset is determined by the ``com-supply`` voltage.)
+
+Differential input
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+An even-numbered ``INx`` pin and the following odd-numbered ``INx`` pin can be
+used as a differential pair. The device tree for using ``IN0`` as the positive
+input and ``IN1`` as the negative input will look like this:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    channel@0 {
+        reg = <0>;
+        adi,pin-pairing = "next";
+        bipolar;
+    };
+
+This will appear on the IIO bus as the ``voltage0-voltage1`` channel. The
+processed value (*raw × scale*) will be the voltage difference between the two
+pins. (Offset is always 0 for differential channels.)
+
+VCC supply
+----------
+
+The chip supports being powered by an external LDO via the ``VCC`` input or an
+internal LDO via the ``LDO_IN`` input. The driver looks at the device tree to
+determine which is being used. If ``ldo-supply`` is present, then the internal
+LDO is used. If ``vcc-supply`` is present, then the external LDO is used and
+the internal LDO is disabled.
+
+Reference voltage
+-----------------
+
+The chip supports an external reference voltage via the ``REF`` input or an
+internal buffered reference voltage via the ``REFIN`` input. The driver looks
+at the device tree to determine which is being used. If ``ref-supply`` is
+present, then the external reference voltage is used and the internal buffer is
+disabled. If ``refin-supply`` is present, then the internal buffered reference
+voltage is used.
