99 The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
100 well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible
101 with many other devices, many of which are supported by this driver.
103 Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the MAX6657,
104 MAX6658 and MAX6659 variants. The extra address and features of the
105 MAX6659 are not supported by this driver. The MAX6680 and MAX6681 only
106 differ in their pinout, therefore they obviously can't (and don't need to)
109 The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84
110 family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an
111 increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement.
113 The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although
114 very similar. For reference, here comes a non-exhaustive list of specific
118 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF.
119 * ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits.
123 * Better external channel accuracy
127 * External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down
130 * Consecutive alert register at 0x22.
131 * Conversion averaging.
132 * Up to 64 conversions/s.
133 * ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor.
134 * SMBus PEC support for Write Byte and Receive Byte transactions.
137 * Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility)
138 * Lower resolution for remote temperature
141 * Better local resolution
142 * Remote sensor type selection
145 * Better local resolution
147 * Second critical temperature limit
148 * Remote sensor type selection
152 * Remote sensor type selection
155 * The AWG and ASG variants only differ in package format.
156 * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF
157 * Diode ideality factor configuration (remote sensor) at 0xE3
158 * Moving average (depending on conversion rate)
160 All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
161 is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote
162 temperature, except for the MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 which have a
163 resolution of 0.125 degree for both temperatures.
165 Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.
166 Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical
167 values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values
168 are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked.
169 Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta
170 applies to the remote hysteresis.
172 The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
173 other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
179 This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received,
180 the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged.
182 The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032 and ADT7461) do not implement the SMBus
183 alert protocol properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is
184 disabled when an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm
185 is gone. Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus
186 as long as the alarm is active.
191 The ADM1032 is the only chip of the family which supports PEC. It does
192 not support PEC on all transactions though, so some care must be taken.
194 When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the
195 ADM1032 chip. However, in the case of a combined transaction (SMBus Read
196 Byte), the ADM1032 computes the CRC value over only the second half of
197 the message rather than its entirety, because it thinks the first half
198 of the message belongs to a different transaction. As a result, the CRC
199 value differs from what the SMBus master expects, and all reads fail.
201 For this reason, the lm90 driver will enable PEC for the ADM1032 only if
202 the bus supports the SMBus Send Byte and Receive Byte transaction types.
203 These transactions will be used to read register values, instead of
204 SMBus Read Byte, and PEC will work properly.
206 Additionally, the ADM1032 doesn't support SMBus Send Byte with PEC.
207 Instead, it will try to write the PEC value to the register (because the
208 SMBus Send Byte transaction with PEC is similar to a Write Byte transaction
209 without PEC), which is not what we want. Thus, PEC is explicitly disabled
210 on SMBus Send Byte transactions in the lm90 driver.
212 PEC on byte data transactions represents a significant increase in bandwidth
213 usage (+33% for writes, +25% for reads) in normal conditions. With the need
214 to use two SMBus transaction for reads, this overhead jumps to +50%. Worse,
215 two transactions will typically mean twice as much delay waiting for
216 transaction completion, effectively doubling the register cache refresh time.
217 I guess reliability comes at a price, but it's quite expensive this time.
219 So, as not everyone might enjoy the slowdown, PEC can be disabled through
220 sysfs. Just write 0 to the "pec" file and PEC will be disabled. Write 1
221 to that file to enable PEC again.
