88 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM85 and
89 compatible chips including the Analog Devices ADM1027, ADT7463, ADT7468 and
90 SMSC EMC6D10x chips family.
92 The LM85 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
93 specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
94 temperatures and five (5) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
95 measuring fan speed. Five (5) digital inputs are provided for sampling the
96 VID signals from the processor to the VRM. Lastly, there are three (3) PWM
97 outputs that can be used to control fan speed.
99 The voltage inputs have internal scaling resistors so that the following
100 voltage can be measured without external resistors:
102 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and CPU core voltage (2.25V)
104 The temperatures measured are one internal diode, and two remote diodes.
105 Remote 1 is generally the CPU temperature. These inputs are designed to
106 measure a thermal diode like the one in a Pentium 4 processor in a socket
107 423 or socket 478 package. They can also measure temperature using a
108 transistor like the 2N3904.
110 A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
111 LM85 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
112 three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
113 programmable. Once configured, the LM85 will adjust the PWM outputs in
114 response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
115 This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
117 Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
118 corresponding high/low limit values. The LM85 will signal an ALARM if any
119 measured value exceeds either limit.
121 The LM85 samples all inputs continuously. The lm85 driver will not read
122 the registers more often than once a second. Further, configuration data is
123 only read once each 5 minutes. There is twice as much config data as
124 measurements, so this would seem to be a worthwhile optimization.
129 The LM85 has four fan speed monitoring modes. The ADM1027 has only two.
130 Both have special circuitry to compensate for PWM interactions with the
131 TACH signal from the fans. The ADM1027 can be configured to measure the
132 speed of a two wire fan, but the input conditioning circuitry is different
133 for 3-wire and 2-wire mode. For this reason, the 2-wire fan modes are not
134 exposed to user control. The BIOS should initialize them to the correct
135 mode. If you've designed your own ADM1027, you'll have to modify the
136 init_client function and add an insmod parameter to set this up.
138 To smooth the response of fans to changes in temperature, the LM85 has an
139 optional filter for smoothing temperatures. The ADM1027 has the same
140 config option but uses it to rate limit the changes to fan speed instead.
142 The ADM1027, ADT7463 and ADT7468 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore
143 measure temperatures with 0.25 degC resolution. They also provide an offset
144 to the temperature readings that is automatically applied during
145 measurement. This offset can be used to zero out any errors due to traces
146 and placement. The documentation says that the offset is in 0.25 degC
147 steps, but in initial testing of the ADM1027 it was 1.00 degC steps. Analog
148 Devices has confirmed this "bug". The ADT7463 is reported to work as
149 described in the documentation. The current lm85 driver does not show the
152 The ADT7468 has a high-frequency PWM mode, where all PWM outputs are
153 driven by a 22.5 kHz clock. This is a global mode, not per-PWM output,
154 which means that setting any PWM frequency above 11.3 kHz will switch
155 all 3 PWM outputs to a 22.5 kHz frequency. Conversely, setting any PWM
156 frequency below 11.3 kHz will switch all 3 PWM outputs to a frequency
157 between 10 and 100 Hz, which can then be tuned separately.
159 See the vendor datasheets for more information. There is application note
160 from National (AN-1260) with some additional information about the LM85.
161 The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
162 determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
164 The SMSC EMC6D100 & EMC6D101 monitor external voltages, temperatures, and
165 fan speeds. They use this monitoring capability to alert the system to out
166 of limit conditions and can automatically control the speeds of multiple
167 fans in a PC or embedded system. The EMC6D101, available in a 24-pin SSOP
168 package, and the EMC6D100, available in a 28-pin SSOP package, are designed
169 to be register compatible. The EMC6D100 offers all the features of the
170 EMC6D101 plus additional voltage monitoring and system control features.
171 Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish between the package
172 versions on register level so these additional voltage inputs may read
173 zero. EMC6D102 and EMC6D103 feature additional ADC bits thus extending precision
174 of voltage and temperature channels.
176 SMSC EMC6D103S is similar to EMC6D103, but does not support pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl
177 and temp#_auto_temp_off.
179 The LM96000 supports additional high frequency PWM modes (22.5 kHz, 24 kHz,
180 25.7 kHz, 27.7 kHz and 30 kHz), which can be configured on a per-PWM basis.
182 Hardware Configurations
183 -----------------------
185 The LM85 can be jumpered for 3 different SMBus addresses. There are
186 no other hardware configuration options for the LM85.
188 The lm85 driver detects both LM85B and LM85C revisions of the chip. See the
189 datasheet for a complete description of the differences. Other than
190 identifying the chip, the driver behaves no differently with regard to
191 these two chips. The LM85B is recommended for new designs.
193 The ADM1027, ADT7463 and ADT7468 chips have an optional SMBALERT output
194 that can be used to signal the chipset in case a limit is exceeded or the
195 temperature sensors fail. Individual sensor interrupts can be masked so
196 they won't trigger SMBALERT. The SMBALERT output if configured replaces one
197 of the other functions (PWM2 or IN0). This functionality is not implemented
200 The ADT7463 and ADT7468 also have an optional THERM output/input which can
201 be connected to the processor PROC_HOT output. If available, the autofan
202 control dynamic Tmin feature can be enabled to keep the system temperature
203 within spec (just?!) with the least possible fan noise.
208 Besides standard interfaces driver adds following:
210 * Temperatures and Zones
212 Each temperature sensor is associated with a Zone. There are three
213 sensors and therefore three zones (# 1, 2 and 3). Each zone has the following
214 temperature configuration points:
216 * temp#_auto_temp_off
217 - temperature below which fans should be off or spinning very low.
218 * temp#_auto_temp_min
219 - temperature over which fans start to spin.
220 * temp#_auto_temp_max
221 - temperature when fans spin at full speed.
222 * temp#_auto_temp_crit
223 - temperature when all fans will run full speed.
228 There are three PWM outputs. The LM85 datasheet suggests that the
229 pwm3 output control both fan3 and fan4. Each PWM can be individually
230 configured and assigned to a zone for its control value. Each PWM can be
231 configured individually according to the following options.
234 - this specifies the PWM value for temp#_auto_temp_off
235 temperature. (PWM value from 0 to 255)
237 * pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl
238 - this flags selects for temp#_auto_temp_off temperature
239 the behaviour of fans. Write 1 to let fans spinning at
240 pwm#_auto_pwm_min or write 0 to let them off.
244 It has been reported that there is a bug in the LM85 that causes
245 the flag to be associated with the zones not the PWMs. This
246 contradicts all the published documentation. Setting pwm#_min_ctl
247 in this case actually affects all PWMs controlled by zone '#'.
249 PWM Controlling Zone selection
250 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
253 - controls zone that is associated with PWM
255 Configuration choices:
257 ========== =============================================

261 2 Controlled by Zone 2
262 3 Controlled by Zone 3
263 23 Controlled by higher temp of Zone 2 or 3
264 123 Controlled by highest temp of Zone 1, 2 or 3
265 0 PWM always 0% (off)
266 -1 PWM always 100% (full on)
267 -2 Manual control (write to 'pwm#' to set)
268 ========== =============================================
270 The National LM85's have two vendor specific configuration
271 features. Tach. mode and Spinup Control. For more details on these,
272 see the LM85 datasheet or Application Note AN-1260. These features
273 are not currently supported by the lm85 driver.
275 The Analog Devices ADM1027 has several vendor specific enhancements.
276 The number of pulses-per-rev of the fans can be set, Tach monitoring
277 can be optimized for PWM operation, and an offset can be applied to
278 the temperatures to compensate for systemic errors in the
279 measurements. These features are not currently supported by the lm85
282 In addition to the ADM1027 features, the ADT7463 and ADT7468 also have
283 Tmin control and THERM asserted counts. Automatic Tmin control acts to
284 adjust the Tmin value to maintain the measured temperature sensor at a
285 specified temperature. There isn't much documentation on this feature in
286 the ADT7463 data sheet. This is not supported by current driver.
