Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
APDS990x is a combined ambient light and proximity sensor. ALS and proximity
|
||||
functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running
|
||||
while the proximity functionality is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel
|
||||
(infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen
|
||||
using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW
|
||||
might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source.
|
||||
|
||||
Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles
|
||||
only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both
|
||||
channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match
|
||||
with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations
|
||||
lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm.
|
||||
|
||||
ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically
|
||||
selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results
|
||||
is estimated and new measurement is trigged if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if
|
||||
values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used.
|
||||
|
||||
Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions.
|
||||
It produces directly usable values.
|
||||
|
||||
Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework.
|
||||
Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state.

RW - trigger / periodic. In "trigger" mode the driver tells two possible

1023 means proximity. This causes minimal number of interrupts.
|

In "periodic" mode the driver reports all values above

prox0_thresh_above. This causes more interrupts, but it can give

_rough_ estimate about the distance.

Kernel driver bh1770glc
|
||||
=======================
|

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
BH1770GLC and SFH7770 are combined ambient light and proximity sensors.
|
||||
ALS and proximity parts operates on their own, but they shares common I2C
|
||||
interface and interrupt logic. In principle they can run on their own,
|
||||
but ALS side results are used to estimate reliability of the proximity sensor.
|
||||
|
||||
ALS produces 16 bit lux values. The chip contains interrupt logic to produce
|
||||
low and high threshold interrupts.
|
||||
|
||||
Proximity part contains IR-led driver up to 3 IR leds. The chip measures
|
||||
amount of reflected IR light and produces proximity result. Resolution is
|
||||
8 bit. Driver supports only one channel. Driver uses ALS results to estimate
|
||||
reliability of the proximity results. Thus ALS is always running while
|
||||
proximity detection is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Driver uses threshold interrupts to avoid need for polling the values.
|
||||
Proximity low interrupt doesn't exists in the chip. This is simulated
|
||||
by using a delayed work. As long as there is proximity threshold above
|
||||
interrupts the delayed work is pushed forward. So, when proximity level goes
|
||||
below the threshold value, there is no interrupt and the delayed work will
|
||||
finally run. This is handled as no proximity indication.
|
||||
|
||||
Chip state is controlled via runtime pm framework when enabled in config.
|
||||
|
||||
Calibscale factor is used to hide differences between the chips. By default
|
||||
value set to neutral state meaning factor of 1.00. To get proper values,
|
||||
calibrated source of light is needed as a reference. Calibscale factor is set
|
||||
so that measurement produces about the expected lux value.
