ti,tca9546a (on i2c bus)¶

Vendor: Texas Instruments

Description¶

TCA9546a I2C switch

Each channel is represented by a separate devicetree child node
with a "ti,tca9546a-channel" compatible.
The channel node can then be used as a standard i2c bus controller
like in the following simplified example:

    /* The tca9546a node must be a child of an i2c controller */
    mux: tca9546a@77 {
        compatible = "ti,tca9546a";
        reg = <0x77>;

        mux_i2c@0 {
            compatible = "ti,tca9546a-channel";
            reg = <0>;

            temp_sens_0: tmp116@49 {
                compatible = "ti,tmp116";
                reg = <0x49>;
            };
        };

        mux_i2c@1 {
            compatible = "ti,tca9546a-channel";
            reg = <1>;

            temp_sens_1: tmp116@49 {
                compatible = "ti,tmp116";
                reg = <0x49>;
            };
        };
    };

Properties¶

Top level properties¶

These property descriptions apply to “ti,tca9546a” nodes themselves. This page also describes child node properties in the following sections.

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

supply-gpios

phandle-array

GPIO specifier that controls power to the device.

This property should be provided when the device has a dedicated
switch that controls power to the device.  The supply state is
entirely the responsibility of the device driver.

Contrast with vin-supply.

vin-supply

phandle

Reference to the regulator that controls power to the device.
The referenced devicetree node must have a regulator compatible.

This property should be provided when device power is supplied
by a shared regulator.  The supply state is dependent on the
request status of all devices fed by the regulator.

Contrast with supply-gpios.  If both properties are provided
then the regulator must be requested before the supply GPIOS is
set to an active state, and the supply GPIOS must be set to an
inactive state before releasing the regulator.

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 “ti,tca9546a” compatible.

Name	Type	Details
`reg`	`array`	device address on i2c bus This property is required. See Important properties for more information.
`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-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
`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.

Child node properties¶
