132 The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
133 well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible
134 with many other devices, many of which are supported by this driver.
136 Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the MAX6657,
137 MAX6658 and MAX6659 variants. The extra features of the MAX6659 are only
138 supported by this driver if the chip is located at address 0x4d or 0x4e,
139 or if the chip type is explicitly selected as max6659.
140 The MAX6680 and MAX6681 only differ in their pinout, therefore they obviously
141 can't (and don't need to) be distinguished.
143 The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84
144 family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an
145 increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement.
147 The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although
148 very similar. For reference, here comes a non-exhaustive list of specific
152 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF.
153 * ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits.
157 * Better external channel accuracy
161 * External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down
164 * Consecutive alert register at 0x22.
165 * Conversion averaging.
166 * Up to 64 conversions/s.
167 * ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor.
168 * SMBus PEC support for Write Byte and Receive Byte transactions.
170 ADT7461, ADT7461A, NCT1008:
171 * Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility)
172 * Lower resolution for remote temperature
175 * Better local resolution
176 * Remote sensor type selection
179 * Better local resolution
181 * Second critical temperature limit
182 * Remote sensor type selection
186 * Remote sensor type selection
189 * Better local resolution
190 * Selectable address (max6696)
191 * Second critical temperature limit
195 * The G variant is lead-free, otherwise similar to the W.
196 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF
197 * Moving average (depending on conversion rate)
200 * Successor of the W83L771W/G, same features.
201 * The AWG and ASG variants only differ in package format.
202 * Diode ideality factor configuration (remote sensor) at 0xE3
205 * Better local resolution
207 All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
208 is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote
209 temperature, except for the MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 which have a
210 resolution of 0.125 degree for both temperatures.
212 Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.
213 Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical
214 values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values
215 are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked.
216 Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta
217 applies to the remote hysteresis.
219 The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than configured with
220 the update_interval attribute; reading them more often will do no harm, but will
226 This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received,
227 the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged.
229 The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032, ADT7461 and ADT7461A) and ON
230 Semiconductor chips (NCT1008) do not implement the SMBus alert protocol
231 properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is disabled when
232 an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm is gone.
233 Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus as long
234 as the alarm is active.
239 The ADM1032 is the only chip of the family which supports PEC. It does
240 not support PEC on all transactions though, so some care must be taken.
242 When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the
243 ADM1032 chip. However, in the case of a combined transaction (SMBus Read
244 Byte), the ADM1032 computes the CRC value over only the second half of
245 the message rather than its entirety, because it thinks the first half
246 of the message belongs to a different transaction. As a result, the CRC
247 value differs from what the SMBus master expects, and all reads fail.
249 For this reason, the lm90 driver will enable PEC for the ADM1032 only if
250 the bus supports the SMBus Send Byte and Receive Byte transaction types.
251 These transactions will be used to read register values, instead of
252 SMBus Read Byte, and PEC will work properly.
254 Additionally, the ADM1032 doesn't support SMBus Send Byte with PEC.
255 Instead, it will try to write the PEC value to the register (because the
256 SMBus Send Byte transaction with PEC is similar to a Write Byte transaction
257 without PEC), which is not what we want. Thus, PEC is explicitly disabled
258 on SMBus Send Byte transactions in the lm90 driver.
260 PEC on byte data transactions represents a significant increase in bandwidth
261 usage (+33% for writes, +25% for reads) in normal conditions. With the need
262 to use two SMBus transaction for reads, this overhead jumps to +50%. Worse,
263 two transactions will typically mean twice as much delay waiting for
264 transaction completion, effectively doubling the register cache refresh time.
265 I guess reliability comes at a price, but it's quite expensive this time.
267 So, as not everyone might enjoy the slowdown, PEC can be disabled through
268 sysfs. Just write 0 to the "pec" file and PEC will be disabled. Write 1
269 to that file to enable PEC again.
