14 | Description | ||
15 | ----------- | ||
16 | There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator. | ||
17 | |||
18 | Flash Mode | ||
19 | ^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
20 | |||
21 | In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels | ||
22 | from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT | ||
23 | CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A), | ||
24 | or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH. | ||
25 | |||
26 | LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file | ||
27 | |||
28 | * if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and | ||
29 | ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin. | ||
30 | |||
31 | Flash Example: | ||
32 | |||
33 | OFF:: | ||
34 | |||
35 | #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness | ||
36 | |||
37 | 93.75 mA:: | ||
38 | |||
39 | #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness | ||
40 | |||
41 | ... | ||
42 | |||
43 | 1500 mA:: | ||
44 | |||
45 | #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness | ||
46 | |||
47 | Torch Mode | ||
48 | ^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
49 | |||
50 | In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL | ||
51 | REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the | ||
52 | hardware TORCH input. | ||
53 | |||
54 | LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file. | ||
55 | * if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, | ||
56 | and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin. | ||
57 | |||
58 | Torch Example: | ||
59 | |||
60 | OFF:: | ||
61 | |||
62 | #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness | ||
63 | |||
64 | 46.88 mA:: | ||
65 | |||
66 | #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness | ||
67 | |||
68 | ... | ||
69 | |||
70 | 375 mA:: | ||
71 | |||
72 | #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness | ||
73 | |||
74 | Indicator Mode | ||
75 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
76 | |||
77 | Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file, | ||
78 | and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array. | ||
79 | |||
80 | According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill | ||
81 | be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change | ||
82 | indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE. | ||
83 | |||
84 | Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period. | ||
85 | |||
86 | Indicator pattern example: | ||
87 | |||
88 | pattern 0:: | ||
89 | |||
90 | #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern | ||
91 | |||
92 | ... | ||
93 | |||
94 | pattern 3:: | ||
95 | |||
96 | #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern | ||
97 | |||
98 | Indicator brightness can be controlled through | ||
99 | sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file. | ||
100 | |||
101 | Example: | ||
102 | |||
103 | OFF:: | ||
104 | |||
105 | #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness | ||
106 | |||
107 | 5.86 mA:: | ||
108 | |||
109 | #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness | ||
110 | |||
111 | ... | ||
112 | |||
113 | 46.875mA:: | ||
114 | |||
115 | #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness | ||
116 | |||
117 | Notes | ||
118 | ----- | ||
119 | Driver expects it is registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism. | ||
120 | To register the chip at address 0x63 on specific adapter, set the platform data | ||
121 | according to include/linux/platform_data/leds-lm3556.h, set the i2c board info | ||
122 | |||
123 | Example:: | ||
124 | |||
125 | static struct i2c_board_info board_i2c_ch4[] __initdata = { | ||
126 | { | ||
127 | I2C_BOARD_INFO(LM3556_NAME, 0x63), | ||
128 | .platform_data = &lm3556_pdata, | ||
129 | }, | ||
130 | }; | ||
131 | |||
132 | and register it in the platform init function | ||
133 | |||
134 | Example:: | ||
135 | |||
136 | board_register_i2c_bus(4, 400, | ||
137 | board_i2c_ch4, ARRAY_SIZE(board_i2c_ch4)); | ||
