22 SiS southbridge has a LM78-like chip integrated on the same IC.
23 This driver is a customized copy of lm78.c
25 Supports following revisions:
27 =============== =============== ==============
28 Version PCI ID PCI Revision
29 =============== =============== ==============
30 1 1039/0008 AF or less
31 2 1039/0008 B0 or greater
32 =============== =============== ==============
34 Note: these chips contain a 0008 device which is incompatible with the
35 5595. We recognize these by the presence of the listed
36 "blacklist" PCI ID and refuse to load.

39 NOT SUPPORTED PCI ID BLACKLIST PCI ID
40 =================== =============== ================
51 =================== =============== ================

58 force_addr=0xaddr Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards
59 that don't set the address in the BIOS. Does not do a
60 PCI force; the device must still be present in lspci.
61 Don't use this unless the driver complains that the
62 base address is not set.
64 Example: 'modprobe sis5595 force_addr=0x290'

71 The SiS5595 southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functions. It also
72 has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the
73 I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595.
75 The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed
76 sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms.
78 On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one
81 On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the
82 fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not
83 through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin,
84 which was hopefully set by the BIOS.
86 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
87 when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min
88 value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a
89 resolution of 1 degree.
91 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
92 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
93 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
94 the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
95 represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
96 representable value is around 2600 RPM.
98 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
99 alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
100 maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
101 zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
102 inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
105 In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets
106 triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is
107 connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this
110 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
111 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
112 have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
113 registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
114 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
117 The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
118 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
122 Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why.
123 The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg.
