| 26 | * adm1022_temp3: short array |
| 27 | List of adapter,address pairs to force chips into ADM1022 mode with |
| 28 | second remote temperature. This does not work for original THMC50 chips. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Description |
| 31 | ----------- |
| 32 | |
| 33 | The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an |
| 34 | external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside |
| 35 | many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature |
| 36 | sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown |
| 37 | register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree |
| 38 | accuracy. An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the |
| 39 | temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on |
| 40 | until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in |
| 41 | degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often |
| 44 | will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure |
| 47 | the temperature of the processor(s). |
| 48 | |
| 49 | The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of |
| 50 | 1 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional |
| 51 | remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force |
| 54 | the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter. |
| 55 | A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Driver Features |
| 58 | --------------- |
| 59 | |
| 60 | The driver provides up to three temperatures: |
| 61 | |
| 62 | temp1 -- internal |
| 63 | temp2 -- remote |
| 64 | temp3 -- 2nd remote only for ADM1022 |
| 65 | |
| 66 | pwm1 -- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full) |
| 67 | pwm1_mode -- always 0 (DC mode) |
| 68 | |
| 69 | The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip, |
| 70 | so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works |
| 73 | in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans. |
