107 | Description | |
108 | ----------- | |
109 | ||
110 | The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as | |
111 | well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible | |
23b2d477 | 112 | with many other devices, many of which are supported by this driver. |
32c82a93 RB |
113 | |
114 | Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the MAX6657, | |
6948708d GR |
115 | MAX6658 and MAX6659 variants. The extra features of the MAX6659 are only |
116 | supported by this driver if the chip is located at address 0x4d or 0x4e, | |
117 | or if the chip type is explicitly selected as max6659. | |
118 | The MAX6680 and MAX6681 only differ in their pinout, therefore they obviously | |
119 | can't (and don't need to) be distinguished. | |

120 | |
121 | The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84 | |
122 | family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an | |
123 | increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement. | |
124 | ||
125 | The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although | |
f65e1708 JD |
126 | very similar. For reference, here comes a non-exhaustive list of specific |
127 | features: | |

172 | W83L771AWG/ASG |
173 | * The AWG and ASG variants only differ in package format. | |
174 | * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF | |
175 | * Diode ideality factor configuration (remote sensor) at 0xE3 | |
176 | * Moving average (depending on conversion rate) | |
177 | ||
7f15b664 M |
178 | All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution |
179 | is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote | |
f65e1708 JD |
180 | temperature, except for the MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 which have a |
181 | resolution of 0.125 degree for both temperatures. | |
7f15b664 M |
182 | |
183 | Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit. | |
184 | Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical | |
185 | values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values | |
186 | are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked. | |
187 | Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta | |
188 | applies to the remote hysteresis. | |
189 | ||
190 | The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than every | |
191 | other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return | |
192 | 'old' values. | |
193 | ||

194 | SMBus Alert Support |
195 | ------------------- | |
196 | ||
197 | This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received, | |
198 | the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged. | |
199 | ||
200 | The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032 and ADT7461) do not implement the SMBus | |
201 | alert protocol properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is | |
202 | disabled when an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm | |
203 | is gone. Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus | |
204 | as long as the alarm is active. | |
205 | ||
c3df5806 JD |
206 | PEC Support |
207 | ----------- | |
208 | ||
209 | The ADM1032 is the only chip of the family which supports PEC. It does | |
210 | not support PEC on all transactions though, so some care must be taken. | |
211 | ||
212 | When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the | |
213 | ADM1032 chip. However, in the case of a combined transaction (SMBus Read | |
214 | Byte), the ADM1032 computes the CRC value over only the second half of | |
215 | the message rather than its entirety, because it thinks the first half | |
216 | of the message belongs to a different transaction. As a result, the CRC | |
217 | value differs from what the SMBus master expects, and all reads fail. | |
218 | ||
219 | For this reason, the lm90 driver will enable PEC for the ADM1032 only if | |
220 | the bus supports the SMBus Send Byte and Receive Byte transaction types. | |
221 | These transactions will be used to read register values, instead of | |
222 | SMBus Read Byte, and PEC will work properly. | |
223 | ||
224 | Additionally, the ADM1032 doesn't support SMBus Send Byte with PEC. | |
225 | Instead, it will try to write the PEC value to the register (because the | |
226 | SMBus Send Byte transaction with PEC is similar to a Write Byte transaction | |
0966415d | 227 | without PEC), which is not what we want. Thus, PEC is explicitly disabled |
c3df5806 JD |
228 | on SMBus Send Byte transactions in the lm90 driver. |
229 | ||
230 | PEC on byte data transactions represents a significant increase in bandwidth | |
231 | usage (+33% for writes, +25% for reads) in normal conditions. With the need | |
232 | to use two SMBus transaction for reads, this overhead jumps to +50%. Worse, | |
233 | two transactions will typically mean twice as much delay waiting for | |
234 | transaction completion, effectively doubling the register cache refresh time. | |
235 | I guess reliability comes at a price, but it's quite expensive this time. | |
236 | ||
237 | So, as not everyone might enjoy the slowdown, PEC can be disabled through | |
238 | sysfs. Just write 0 to the "pec" file and PEC will be disabled. Write 1 | |
239 | to that file to enable PEC again. |
