14Description
15-----------
16
17The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
18from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
19PCI Express.

22Usage Notes
23-----------
24
25This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
26of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
27the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
28
29Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
30on I2C bus #1:
31$ modprobe ltc4245 force=1,0x23

34Sysfs entries
35-------------
36
37The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
38makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
39
40This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
41into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
42rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".
