An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly.
This binding describe one case, the measurement of a temperature
through a temperature transducer (either voltage or current).

+description: |
+  A temperature transducer is a device that converts a thermal quantity
+  into any other physical quantity. This binding applies to temperature to
+  voltage (like the LTC2997), and temperature to current (like the AD590)
+  linear transducers.
+  In both cases these are assumed to be connected to a voltage ADC.
+
+  When an io-channel measures the output voltage of a temperature analog front
+  end such as a temperature transducer, the interesting measurement is almost
+  always the corresponding temperature, not the voltage output. This binding
+  describes such a circuit.
+
+  The general transfer function here is (using SI units)
+    V(T) = Rsense * Isense(T)
+    T = (Isense(T) / alpha) + offset
+    T = 1 / (Rsense * alpha) * (V + offset * Rsense * alpha)
+
+  When using a temperature to voltage transducer, Rsense is set to 1.
+
+  The following circuits show a temperature to current and a temperature to
+  voltage transducer that can be used with this binding.
