nordic,nrf-sw-pwm

Vendor: Nordic Semiconductor

Description

nRFx S/W PWM

Properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

generator

phandle

Reference to TIMER or RTC instance for generating PWM output signals

This property is required.

clock-prescaler

int

Clock prescaler for RTC or TIMER used for generating PWM output signals.

RTC: needs to be set to 0, which gives 32768 Hz base clock for PWM
generation.

TIMER: 16 MHz / 2^prescaler base clock is used for PWM generation.

This property is required.

channel-gpios

phandle-array

An array of GPIOs assigned as outputs for the PWM channels. The number
of items in this array determines the number of channels that this PWM
will provide. This value is limited by the number of compare registers
in the used RTC/TIMER instance minus 1.

Example:

  sw_pwm: sw-pwm {
    compatible = "nordic,nrf-sw-pwm";
    ...
    channel-gpios = <&gpio0 20 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
                    <&gpio1 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    ...
  };

The above will assign P0.20 as the output for channel 0 and P1.12 as
the output for channel 1. Both outputs will be initially configured as
active high.

Please note that in the flags cell (the last component of each item
of the array) only the GPIO flags that specify the active level are
taken into account (any others are ignored), and they are used only
when the initial (inactive) state of the outputs is set.
After any PWM signal generation is requested for a given channel,
the polarity of its output is determined by the flag specified
in the request, i.e. PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED or PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL.

This property is required.

#pwm-cells

int

Number of items to expect in a pwm specifier

This property is required.

Constant value: 3

Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “nordic,nrf-sw-pwm” compatible.

Name

Type

Details

label

string

Human readable string describing the device (used as device_get_binding() argument)

This property is required.

See Important properties for more information.

status

string

indicates the operational status of a device

Legal values: 'ok', 'okay', 'disabled', 'reserved', 'fail', 'fail-sss'

See Important properties for more information.

compatible

string-array

compatible strings

This property is required.

See Important properties for more information.

reg

array

register space

See Important properties for more information.

reg-names

string-array

name of each register space

interrupts

array

interrupts for device

See Important properties for more information.

interrupts-extended

compound

extended interrupt specifier for device

interrupt-names

string-array

name of each interrupt

interrupt-parent

phandle

phandle to interrupt controller node

clocks

phandle-array

Clock gate information

clock-names

string-array

name of each clock

#address-cells

int

number of address cells in reg property

#size-cells

int

number of size cells in reg property

dmas

phandle-array

DMA channels specifiers

dma-names

string-array

Provided names of DMA channel specifiers

io-channels

phandle-array

IO channels specifiers

io-channel-names

string-array

Provided names of IO channel specifiers

mboxes

phandle-array

mailbox / IPM channels specifiers

mbox-names

string-array

Provided names of mailbox / IPM channel specifiers

wakeup-source

boolean

Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.

power-domain

phandle

Power domain the device belongs to.

The device will be notified when the power domain it belongs to is either
suspended or resumed.
