| Naveen Krishna Chatradhi | 8b6f5e0 | 2014-06-25 11:59:31 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a simple thermistor |
| 26 | that requires users to provide the resistance and lookup the corresponding |
| 27 | compensation table to get the temperature input. |
| Donggeun Kim | f22aaaa7 | 2011-06-20 16:48:19 +0900 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | |
| 29 | The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function |
| 30 | and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The four circuit models provided are: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | $: resister, [TH]: the thermistor |
| 35 | |
| 36 | 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0 |
| 37 | |
| 38 | [pullup_uV] |
| 39 | | | |
| 40 | [TH] $ (pullup_ohm) |
| 41 | | | |
| 42 | +----+-----------------------[read_uV] |
| 43 | | |
| 44 | $ (pulldown_ohm) |
| 45 | | |
| 46 | --- (ground) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected) |
| 49 | |
| 50 | [pullup_uV] |
| 51 | | |
| 52 | [TH] |
| 53 | | |
| 54 | +----------------------------[read_uV] |
| 55 | | |
| 56 | $ (pulldown_ohm) |
| 57 | | |
| 58 | --- (ground) |
| 59 | |
| 60 | 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0 |
| 61 | |
| 62 | [pullup_uV] |
| 63 | | |
| 64 | $ (pullup_ohm) |
| 65 | | |
| 66 | +----+-----------------------[read_uV] |
| 67 | | | |
| 68 | [TH] $ (pulldown_ohm) |
| 69 | | | |
| 70 | -------- (ground) |
| 71 | |
| 72 | 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected) |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [pullup_uV] |
| 75 | | |
| 76 | $ (pullup_ohm) |
| 77 | | |
| 78 | +----------------------------[read_uV] |
| 79 | | |
| 80 | [TH] |
| 81 | | |
| 82 | --- (ground) |
| 83 | |
| 84 | When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm, |
| 85 | pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models |
| 86 | are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should |
| 87 | provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others. |
| 88 | |

| 90 | --------------- |
| 91 | name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | temp1_type always 4 (thermistor) |
| 94 | RO |
| 95 | |
| 96 | temp1_input measure the temperature and provide the measured value. |
| 97 | (reading this file initiates the reading procedure.) |
| 98 | RO |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists. |
