20 | Description | |
21 | ----------- | |
22 | ||
23 | The MAX1619 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as | |
24 | well as the temperature of up to one external diode. | |
25 | ||
26 | All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution | |
27 | is 1.0 degree for the local temperature and for the remote temperature. | |
28 | ||
29 | Only the external sensor has high and low limits. | |
30 | ||
31 | The max1619 driver will not update its values more frequently than every | |
32 | other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return | |
33 | 'old' values. |
