48 This driver implements support for the Winbond W83627EHF, W83627EHG,
49 W83627DHG, W83627DHG-P, W83627UHG, W83667HG, W83667HG-B, W83667HG-I
50 (NCT6775F), and NCT6776F super I/O chips. We will refer to them collectively
53 The chips implement 3 to 4 temperature sensors (9 for NCT6775F and NCT6776F),
54 2 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 10 analog voltage sensors, one VID
55 (except for 627UHG), alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented),
56 and some automatic fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
58 The temperature sensor sources on W82677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F are
59 configurable. temp4 and higher attributes are only reported if its temperature
60 source differs from the temperature sources of the already reported temperature
61 sensors. The configured source for each of the temperature sensors is provided
64 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
65 degC for temp1 and and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. For temp4 and higher,
66 resolution is 1 degC for W83667HG-B and 0.0 degC for NCT6775F and NCT6776F.
67 An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than high limit;
68 it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis value.
69 Alarms are only supported for temp1, temp2, and temp3.
71 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
72 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
73 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or
74 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy. The driver sets the most
75 suitable fan divisor itself. Some fans might not be present because they
76 share pins with other functions.
78 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
79 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
82 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
83 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
84 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
85 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
87 The mode works for fan1-fan4. Mapping of temperatures to pwm outputs is as
92 temp3 -> pwm3 (not on 627UHG)
93 prog -> pwm4 (not on 667HG and 667HG-B; the programmable setting is not
94 supported by the driver)
99 name - this is a standard hwmon device entry, it contains the name of
100 the device (see the prefix in the list of supported devices at
101 the top of this file)
103 pwm[1-4] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
104 0 (stop) to 255 (full)
106 pwm[1-4]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
107 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm file any value 0-255 (full speed)
108 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
109 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
110 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode
111 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
113 SmartFan III mode is not supported on NCT6776F.
115 SmartFan IV mode is configurable only if it was configured at system
116 startup, and is only supported for W83677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F.
117 SmartFan IV operational parameters can not be configured at this time,
118 and the various pwm attributes are not used in SmartFan IV mode.
119 The attributes can be written to, which is useful if you plan to
120 configure the system for a different pwm mode. However, the information
121 returned when reading pwm attributes is unrelated to SmartFan IV
124 pwm[1-4]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
125 * 0 DC output (0 - 12v)
131 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
133 pwm[1-4]_target - set target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
135 pwm[1-4]_tolerance - tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius (range 0 - 15000)
137 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval,
138 fan speed increases (temp is higher) or decreases if lower than desired.
139 There are defined steps and times, but not exported by the driver yet.
141 pwm[1-4]_min_output - minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255), when the temperature
142 is below defined range.
143 pwm[1-4]_stop_time - how many milliseconds [ms] must elapse to switch
144 corresponding fan off. (when the temperature was below
146 pwm[1-4]_start_output-minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255) when spinning up
147 pwm[1-4]_step_output- rate of fan speed change (1 - 255)
148 pwm[1-4]_stop_output- minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255) when spinning down
149 pwm[1-4]_max_output - maximum fan speed (range 1 - 255), when the temperature
150 is above defined range.
152 Note: last six functions are influenced by other control bits, not yet exported
153 by the driver, so a change might not have any effect.
155 Implementation Details
156 ----------------------
158 Future driver development should bear in mind that the following registers have
159 different functions on the 627EHF and the 627DHG. Some registers also have
160 different power-on default values, but BIOS should already be loading
161 appropriate defaults. Note that bank selection must be performed as is currently
162 done in the driver for all register addresses.
164 0x49: only on DHG, selects temperature source for AUX fan, CPU fan0
165 0x4a: not completely documented for the EHF and the DHG documentation assigns
166 different behavior to bits 7 and 6, including extending the temperature
167 input selection to SmartFan I, not just SmartFan III. Testing on the EHF
168 will reveal whether they are compatible or not.
170 0x58: Chip ID: 0xa1=EHF 0xc1=DHG
171 0x5e: only on DHG, has bits to enable "current mode" temperature detection and
172 critical temperature protection
173 0x45b: only on EHF, bit 3, vin4 alarm (EHF supports 10 inputs, only 9 on DHG)
174 0x552: only on EHF, vin4
175 0x558: only on EHF, vin4 high limit
176 0x559: only on EHF, vin4 low limit
177 0x6b: only on DHG, SYS fan critical temperature
178 0x6c: only on DHG, CPU fan0 critical temperature
179 0x6d: only on DHG, AUX fan critical temperature
180 0x6e: only on DHG, CPU fan1 critical temperature
182 0x50-0x55 and 0x650-0x657 are marked "Test Register" for the EHF, but "Reserved
183 Register" for the DHG
185 The DHG also supports PECI, where the DHG queries Intel CPU temperatures, and
186 the ICH8 southbridge gets that data via PECI from the DHG, so that the
187 southbridge drives the fans. And the DHG supports SST, a one-wire serial bus.
189 The DHG-P has an additional automatic fan speed control mode named Smart Fan
190 (TM) III+. This mode is not yet supported by the driver.
