22 The DS620 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has both
23 high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e. programmed
24 into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55 degree Celsius
25 to +125. Between 0 and 70 degree Celsius, accuracy is 0.5 Kelvin. The value
26 returned via sysfs displays post decimal positions.
28 The thermostat function works as follows: When configured via platform_data
29 (struct ds620_platform_data) .pomode == 0 (default), the thermostat output pin
30 PO is always low. If .pomode == 1, the thermostat is in PO_LOW mode. I.e., the
31 output pin PO becomes active when the temperature falls below temp1_min and
32 stays active until the temperature goes above temp1_max.
34 Likewise, with .pomode == 2, the thermostat is in PO_HIGH mode. I.e., the PO
35 output pin becomes active when the temperature goes above temp1_max and stays
36 active until the temperature falls below temp1_min.
38 The PO output pin of the DS620 operates active-low.
