1 Kernel driver ntc_thermistor
4 Supported thermistors from Murata:
5 * Murata NTC Thermistors NCP15WB473, NCP18WB473, NCP21WB473, NCP03WB473, NCP15WL333
6 Prefixes: 'ncp15wb473', 'ncp18wb473', 'ncp21wb473', 'ncp03wb473', 'ncp15wl333'
7 Datasheet: Publicly available at Murata
9 Supported thermistors from EPCOS:
10 * EPCOS NTC Thermistors B57330V2103
12 Datasheet: Publicly available at EPCOS
14 Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
15 tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

23 The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a simple thermistor
24 that requires users to provide the resistance and lookup the corresponding
25 compensation table to get the temperature input.
27 The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
28 and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
30 The four circuit models provided are:
32 $: resister, [TH]: the thermistor
34 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0
40 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
46 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
52 +----------------------------[read_uV]
58 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0
64 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
70 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
76 +----------------------------[read_uV]
82 When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
83 pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
84 are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
85 provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
89 name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name.
91 temp1_type always 4 (thermistor)
94 temp1_input measure the temperature and provide the measured value.
95 (reading this file initiates the reading procedure.)
98 Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists.
