STRUCT TI_DAC_CHIP(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct ti_dac_chip(9) — the main-character struct for a TI DAC chip. No cap, that's the whole name situation. 🎀

struct ti_dac_chip - TI DAC chip

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its glory, copied exactly so you can screenshot it for the group chat:

       struct ti_dac_chip {
           struct mutex lock;
           struct regulator *vref;
           struct spi_device *spi;
           u16 val;
           bool powerdown;
           u8 powerdown_mode;
           u8 resolution;
           u8 buf[2];
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

• lock — protects write sequences. she's giving security-detail energy, lowkey essential. 🔥
• vref — regulator generating Vref. literally the Vref generator, periodt. ✨
• spi — SPI device to send data to the device. yep, that's the SPI device doing the sending. 📨
• val — cached value. it's giving storage, but make it cached. 💅
• powerdown — whether the chip is powered down. simple vibe check: powered down or not. 💀
• powerdown_mode — selected by the user. bestie, the user picks this one. 🫶
• resolution — resolution of the chip. iconic chip detail, no notes. 🌈
• buf — buffer for transfer data. the little carry-on bag for transfer data. 🎀
