PATCH RESEND 1/1 i2c: omap: improve duty cycle on SCL

With this patch we try to be as close to 50% duty cycle as possible. The reason for this is that some devices present an erratic behavior with certain duty cycles.

One such example is TPS65218 PMIC which fails to change voltages when running @ 400kHz and duty cycle is lower than 34%.

The idea of the patch is simple:

calculate desired scl_period from requested scl and use 50% for tLow and 50% for tHigh.

tLow is calculated with a DIV_ROUND_UP() to make sure it's slightly higher than tHigh and to make sure that we end up within I2C specifications.

Kudos to Nishanth Menon and Dave Gerlach for helping debugging the TPS65218 problem found on AM437x SK.

Aaro, can you test this on N900 ?

NAK.
This is a direct violation of PHILIPS I2C-bus Specification v.2.1, section 15. Namely, you will have LOW period of SCL clock shorter than required 1.3uS. Therefore, I'm trying to fix the same currently in davinci:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/483024/

Probably your problem is in board design. I don't think this should be the reason for the spec-violating code in the upstream Kernel. You have your TI SDK for this.

NAK.
This is a direct violation of PHILIPS I2C-bus Specification v.2.1, section 15.
Namely, you will have LOW period of SCL clock shorter than required 1.3uS.

how is this out of spec ?

http://i.imgur.com/jEDlZT7.png

-Width = 1.4us, frequency 373.1kHz, duty cycle of 47.76%

In any case, I have to send v2 anyway (found a bug which would show up on frequencies above 400kHz), so I'll resend this patch.

In any case, I have to send v2 anyway (found a bug which would show up on frequencies above 400kHz), so I'll resend this patch.

Also, let's assume we can generate exactly 400kHz with the same duty cycle. 400kHz has a period of 2500ns, so:

2500 * (1 - 0.4773) = 1306us

How is that out of spec ?

duty cycle as possible. The reason for this is that some devices present an erratic behavior with certain duty cycles.

One such example is TPS65218 PMIC which fails to change voltages when running @ 400kHz and duty cycle is lower than 34%.

The idea of the patch is simple:

calculate desired scl_period from requested scl and use 50% for tLow and 50% for tHigh.

tLow is calculated with a DIV_ROUND_UP() to make sure it's slightly higher than tHigh and to make sure that we end up within I2C specifications.

Kudos to Nishanth Menon and Dave Gerlach for helping debugging the TPS65218 problem found on AM437x SK.

NAK.
This is a direct violation of PHILIPS I2C-bus Specification v.2.1, section 15.
Namely, you will have LOW period of SCL clock shorter than required 1.3uS.

how is this out of spec ?

-Width = 1.4us, frequency 373.1kHz, duty cycle of 47.76%

In any case, I have to send v2 anyway (found a bug which would show up on frequencies above 400kHz), so I'll resend this patch.

If you really target 50% duty cycle and there will be no rounding/truncation error, you will end up with 1.25uS at 400kHz. I understand why you want to make HIGH phase longer, but 50% is a bad target at 400hHz. Probably more safe value?

We can't generate exactly 400kHz anyway, and we're not getting exactly 50% duty cycle, it just brings it *closer* to that. I even mention the reason for the DIV_ROUND_UP() there. Let's just go through the math using TRM equation:

@400kHz with 12MHz internal clock:

tLow = (SCLL + 7) * iclk_period

1250 = (SCLL + 7) * 1/12MHz

SCLL = DIV_ROUND_UP(1250, 83) - 7
SCLL = (1250 + 82)/83 - 7
SCLL = 9

Now if we do the reverse to find actual tLow:

tLow = (9 + 7) * 83
tLow = 1328ns

Likewise if we do it for tHigh:

tHigh = (SCLH + 5) iclk_period

SCLH = 1250 / 83 - 5
SCLH = 10

tHigh = 15 * 83
tHigh = 1245

tHigh + tLow (SCL period) = 2573ns. That gives us SCL of 388.65kHz. An error of mere 3% of what we really wanted to achieve. I'd say this is pretty darn good.

Now you tell me, how is this *ever* going to be out of spec ?

DIV_ROUND_UP() and the truncation at internal clock period calculation makes sure that tLow will be within spec. Instead of blindly NAKing the patch, you could've gone through this exercise yourself.

tHigh + tLow (SCL period) = 2573ns. That gives us SCL of 388.65kHz. An

The bus rate is actually 12MHz/(SCLH+5+SCLL+7), so it's ~387096Hz. Anyway, it's still possible to have maximum bus rate if SCLH+SCLL=12000000/400000-5-7

Let say SCLH=9, SCLL=9, still within the spec and exactly 400kHz But you need another equations and it's not about 50% duty cycle
