+Module Parameters
+-----------------
+
+* se_input: bool (default Y)
+ Single ended operation - set to N for differential mode
+* int_vref: bool (default Y)

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments ADS7828.
+
+This device is a 12-bit 8-channel A-D converter.
+
+It can operate in single ended mode (8 +ve inputs) or in differential mode,
+where 4 differential pairs can be measured.
+
+The chip also has the facility to use an external voltage reference. This
+may be required if your hardware supplies the ADS7828 from a 5V supply, see
+the datasheet for more details.
