20 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
23 The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
24 It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
25 SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
27 Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
28 the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
29 comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
30 complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
31 driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
34 As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing
35 with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
36 and its associated documentation.
38 The LM74 and TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main difference is 13-bit
39 temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius resolution).
41 The LM71 is also very similar; main difference is 14-bit temperature
42 data (0.03125 degrees celsius resolution).
