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