35 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM87
36 and the Analog Devices ADM1024.
38 The LM87 implements up to three temperature sensors, up to two fan
39 rotation speed sensors, up to seven voltage sensors, alarms, and some
40 miscellaneous stuff. The ADM1024 is fully compatible.
42 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Each input has a high
43 and low alarm settings. A high limit produces an alarm when the value
44 goes above it, and an alarm is also produced when the value goes below
47 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
48 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
49 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
50 the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
51 represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
52 representable value is around 2600 RPM.
54 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in
55 volts. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable
56 minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means
57 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements.
59 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
60 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
61 already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
62 hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
63 than 1.0 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
64 miss once-only alarms.
66 The lm87 driver only updates its values each 1.0 seconds; reading it more
67 often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
70 Hardware Configurations
71 -----------------------
73 The LM87 has four pins which can serve one of two possible functions,
74 depending on the hardware configuration.
76 Some functions share pins, so not all functions are available at the same
77 time. Which are depends on the hardware setup. This driver normally
78 assumes that firmware configured the chip correctly. Where this is not
79 the case, platform code must set the I2C client's platform_data to point
80 to a u8 value to be written to the channel register.
82 For reference, here is the list of exclusive functions:
83 - in0+in5 (default) or temp3
84 - fan1 (default) or in6
85 - fan2 (default) or in7
86 - VID lines (default) or IRQ lines (not handled by this driver)
