39 The chips supported by this driver are quite similar. The only difference
40 between them is found in the default power-on behaviour of the chips. While the
41 MAX31827's fault queue is set to 1, the other two chip's fault queue is set to
42 4. Besides this, the MAX31829's alarm active state is high, while the other two
43 chip's alarms are active on low. It is important to note that the chips can be
44 configured to operate in the same manner with 1 write operation to the
45 configuration register. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
48 MAX31827 implements a temperature sensor with a 6 WLP packaging scheme. This
49 sensor measures the temperature of the chip itself.
51 MAX31827 has low and over temperature alarms with an effective value and a
52 hysteresis value: -40 and -30 degrees for under temperature alarm and +100 and
53 +90 degrees for over temperature alarm.
55 The alarm can be configured in comparator and interrupt mode from the
56 devicetree. In Comparator mode, the OT/UT status bits have a value of 1 when the
57 temperature rises above the TH value or falls below TL, which is also subject to
58 the Fault Queue selection. OT status returns to 0 when the temperature drops
59 below the TH_HYST value or when shutdown mode is entered. Similarly, UT status
60 returns to 0 when the temperature rises above TL_HYST value or when shutdown
63 In interrupt mode exceeding TH also sets OT status to 1, which remains set until
64 a read operation is performed on the configuration/status register (max or min
65 attribute); at this point, it returns to 0. Once OT status is set to 1 from
66 exceeding TH and reset, it is set to 1 again only when the temperature drops
67 below TH_HYST. The output remains asserted until it is reset by a read. It is
68 set again if the temperature rises above TH, and so on. The same logic applies
69 to the operation of the UT status bit.
71 Putting the MAX31827 into shutdown mode also resets the OT/UT status bits. Note
72 that if the mode is changed while OT/UT status bits are set, an OT/UT status
73 reset may be required before it begins to behave normally. To prevent this,
74 it is recommended to perform a read of the configuration/status register to
75 clear the status bits before changing the operating mode.
77 The conversions can be manual with the one-shot functionality and automatic with
78 a set frequency. When powered on, the chip measures temperatures with 1 conv/s.
79 The conversion rate can be modified with update_interval attribute of the chip.
80 Conversion/second = 1/update_interval. Thus, the available options according to
83 - 64000 (ms) = 1 conv/64 sec
84 - 32000 (ms) = 1 conv/32 sec
85 - 16000 (ms) = 1 conv/16 sec
86 - 4000 (ms) = 1 conv/4 sec
87 - 1000 (ms) = 1 conv/sec (default)
88 - 250 (ms) = 4 conv/sec
89 - 125 (ms) = 8 conv/sec
91 Enabling the device when it is already enabled has the side effect of setting
92 the conversion frequency to 1 conv/s. The conversion time varies depending on
95 The conversion time doubles with every bit of increased resolution. The
96 available resolutions are:
98 - 8 bit -> 8.75 ms conversion time
99 - 9 bit -> 17.5 ms conversion time
100 - 10 bit -> 35 ms conversion time
101 - 12 bit (default) -> 140 ms conversion time
103 There is a temp1_resolution attribute which indicates the unit change in the
104 input temperature in milli-degrees C.
109 - 62 mC -> 12 bit (default) - actually this is 62.5, but the fil returns 62
111 When chip is in shutdown mode and a read operation is requested, one-shot is
112 triggered, the device waits for <conversion time> ms, and only after that is
113 the temperature value register read. Note that the conversion times are rounded
114 up to the nearest possible integer.
116 The LSB of the temperature values is 0.0625 degrees Celsius, but the values of
117 the temperatures are displayed in milli-degrees. This means, that some data is
118 lost. The step between 2 consecutive values is 62 or 63. This effect can be seen
119 in the writing of alarm values too. For positive numbers the user-input value
120 will always be rounded down to the nearest possible value, for negative numbers
121 the user-input will always be rounded up to the nearest possible value.
123 Bus timeout resets the I2C-compatible interface when SCL is low for more than
126 Alarm polarity determines if the active state of the alarm is low or high. The
127 behavior for both settings is dependent on the Fault Queue setting. The ALARM
128 pin is an open-drain output and requires a pullup resistor to operate.
130 The Fault Queue bits select how many consecutive temperature faults must occur
131 before overtemperature or undertemperature faults are indicated in the
132 corresponding status bits.
137 When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the chip.
139 PEC on word data transaction represents a significant increase in bandwidth
140 usage (+33% for both write and reads) in normal conditions.
142 Since this operation implies there will be an extra delay to each
143 transaction, PEC can be disabled or enabled through sysfs.
144 Just write 1 to the "pec" file for enabling PEC and 0 for disabling it.
