37 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
40 The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
41 It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
42 SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
44 Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
45 the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
46 comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
47 complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
48 driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
51 As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing
52 with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
53 and its associated documentation.
55 The LM74 and TMP121/TMP122/TMP123/TMP124 are very similar; main difference is
56 13-bit temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius resolution).
58 The TMP122/TMP124 also feature configurable temperature thresholds.
60 The TMP125 is less accurate and provides 10-bit temperature data
61 with 0.25 degrees Celsius resolution.
63 The LM71 is also very similar; main difference is 14-bit temperature
64 data (0.03125 degrees celsius resolution).
