description: |
  When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
  interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
  of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
  a circuit.

    description:
      In addition to consuming the measurement services of a voltage
      output channel, the voltage divider can act as a provider of
      measurement services to other devices. This is particularly
      useful in scenarios wherein an ADC has an analog frontend,
      such as a voltage divider, and then consuming its raw value
      isn't interesting. In this case, the voltage before the divider
      is desired.

  output-ohms:
    description:
      Resistance Rout over which the output voltage is measured. See full-ohms.

  full-ohms:
    description:
      Resistance R + Rout for the full divider. The io-channel is scaled by
      the Rout / (R + Rout) quotient.
