+# Sigma-delta Module
+| Since  | Origin / Contributor  | Maintainer  | Source  |
+| :----- | :-------------------- | :---------- | :------ |
+| 2017-01-13 | [Arnim Läuger](https://github.com/devsaurus) | [Arnim Läuger](https://github.com/devsaurus) | [sigma_delta.c](../../../app/modules/sigma_delta.c)|
+
+This module provides access to the [sigma-delta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulation) component. It's a hardware signal generator that can be routed to any of the output GPIOs.
+
+The signal generation is controlled by the [`setprescale()`](#sigma_deltasetprescale) and [`setduty()`](#sigma_deltasetduty) functions.
+
+## sigma_delta.close()
+Reenables GPIO functionality at the related pin.
+
+#### Syntax
+`sigma_delta.close(channel)`
+
+#### Parameters
+- `channel` 0~7, sigma-delta channel index
+
+#### Returns
+`nil`
+
+## sigma_delta.setprescale()
+Sets the prescale value.
+
+#### Syntax
+`sigma_delta.setprescale(channel, value)
+
+#### Parameters
+- `channel` 0~7, sigma-delta channel index
+- `value` prescale 1 to 255
+
+#### Returns
+`nil`
+
+#### See also
+[`sigma_delta.setduty()`](#sigma_deltasetduty)
+
+## sigma_delta.setduty()
+Sets the duty value.
+
+#### Syntax
+`sigma_delta.setduty(channel, value)`
+
+#### Parameters
+- `channel` 0~7, sigma-delta channel index
+- `value` duty -128 to 127
+
+#### Returns
+`nil`
+
+#### See also
+[`sigma_delta.setprescale()`](#sigma_deltasetprescale)
+
+## sigma_delta.setup()
+Routes the sigma-delta channel to the specified pin. Target prescale and duty values should be applied prior to enabling the output with this command.
+
+#### Syntax
+`sigma_delta.setup(channel, pin)`
+
+#### Parameters
+- `channel` 0~7, sigma-delta channel index
+- `pin` 0~33, IO index
+
+#### Returns
+`nil`
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+sigma_delta.setprescale(0, 128)
+sigma_delta.setduty(0, 0)
+sigma_delta.setup(0, 4)
+```
