<jdelvare@suse.de> 133 134 135 Description 136 ----------- 137 138 The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as 139 well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible 140 with many other devices, many of which are supported by this driver. 141 142 Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the MAX6657, 143 MAX6658 and MAX6659 variants. The extra features of the MAX6659 are only 144 supported by this driver if the chip is located at address 0x4d or 0x4e, 145 or if the chip type is explicitly selected as max6659. 146 The MAX6680 and MAX6681 only differ in their pinout, therefore they obviously 147 can't (and don't need to) be distinguished. 148 149 The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84 150 family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an 151 increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement. 152 153 The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although 154 very similar. For reference, here comes a non-exhaustive list of specific 155 features: 156 157 LM90: 158 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF. 159 * ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits. 160 161 LM86 and LM89: 162 * Same as LM90 163 * Better external channel accuracy 164 165 LM99: 166 * Same as LM89 167 * External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down 168 169 ADM1032: 170 * Consecutive alert register at 0x22. 171 * Conversion averaging. 172 * Up to 64 conversions/s. 173 * ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor. 174 * SMBus PEC support for Write Byte and Receive Byte transactions. 175 176 ADT7461, ADT7461A, NCT1008: 177 * Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility) 178 * Lower resolution for remote temperature 179 180 MAX6657 and MAX6658: 181 * Better local resolution 182 * Remote sensor type selection 183 184 MAX6659: 185 * Better local resolution 186 * Selectable address 187 * Second critical temperature limit 188 * Remote sensor type selection 189 190 MAX6680 and MAX6681: 191 * Selectable address 192 * Remote sensor type selection 193 194 MAX6695 and MAX6696: 195 * Better local resolution 196 * Selectable address (max6696) 197 * Second critical temperature limit 198 * Two remote sensors 199 200 W83L771W/G 201 * The G variant is lead-free, otherwise similar to the W. 202 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF 203 * Moving average (depending on conversion rate) 204 205 W83L771AWG/ASG 206 * Successor of the W83L771W/G, same features. 207 * The AWG and ASG variants only differ in package format. 208 * Diode ideality factor configuration (remote sensor) at 0xE3 209 210 SA56004X: 211 * Better local resolution 212 213 All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution 214 is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote 215 temperature, except for the MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 which have a 216 resolution of 0.125 degree for both temperatures. 217 218 Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit. 219 Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical 220 values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values 221 are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked. 222 Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta 223 applies to the remote hysteresis. 224 225 The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than configured with 226 the update_interval attribute; reading them more often will do no harm, but will 227 return 'old' values. 228 229 SMBus Alert Support 230 ------------------- 231 232 This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received, 233 the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged. 234 235 The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032, ADT7461 and ADT7461A) and ON 236 Semiconductor chips (NCT1008) do not implement the SMBus alert protocol 237 properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is disabled when 238 an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm is gone. 239 Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus as long 240 as the alarm is active. 241 242 PEC Support 243 ----------- 244 245 The ADM1032 is the only chip of the family which supports PEC. It does 246 not support PEC on all transactions though, so some care must be taken. 247 248 When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the 249 ADM1032 chip. However, in the case of a combined transaction (SMBus Read 250 Byte), the ADM1032 computes the CRC value over only the second half of 251 the message rather than its entirety, because it thinks the first half 252 of the message belongs to a different transaction. As a result, the CRC 253 value differs from what the SMBus master expects, and all reads fail. 254 255 For this reason, the lm90 driver will enable PEC for the ADM1032 only if 256 the bus supports the SMBus Send Byte and Receive Byte transaction types. 257 These transactions will be used to read register values, instead of 258 SMBus Read Byte, and PEC will work properly. 259 260 Additionally, the ADM1032 doesn't support SMBus Send Byte with PEC. 261 Instead, it will try to write the PEC value to the register (because the 262 SMBus Send Byte transaction with PEC is similar to a Write Byte transaction 263 without PEC), which is not what we want. Thus, PEC is explicitly disabled 264 on SMBus Send Byte transactions in the lm90 driver. 265 266 PEC on byte data transactions represents a significant increase in bandwidth 267 usage (+33% for writes, +25% for reads) in normal conditions. With the need 268 to use two SMBus transaction for reads, this overhead jumps to +50%. Worse, 269 two transactions will typically mean twice as much delay waiting for 270 transaction completion, effectively doubling the register cache refresh time. 271 I guess reliability comes at a price, but it's quite expensive this time. 272 273 So, as not everyone might enjoy the slowdown, PEC can be disabled through 274 sysfs. Just write 0 to the "pec" file and PEC will be disabled. Write 1 275 to that file to enable PEC again.
