| 14 | Description | |
| 15 | ----------- | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | The LM83 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as | |
| 18 | well as the temperature of up to three external diodes. It is compatible | |
| 19 | with many other devices such as the LM84 and all other ADM1021 clones. | |
| 20 | The main difference between the LM83 and the LM84 in that the later can | |
| 21 | only sense the temperature of one external diode. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Using the adm1021 driver for a LM83 should work, but only two temperatures | |
| 24 | will be reported instead of four. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | The LM83 is only found on a handful of motherboards. Both a confirmed | |
| 27 | list and an unconfirmed list follow. If you can confirm or infirm the | |
| 28 | fact that any of these motherboards do actually have an LM83, please | |
| 29 | contact us. Note that the LM90 can easily be misdetected as a LM83. | |
