| 28 | Description |
| 29 | ----------- |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The SHT10, SHT11, SHT15, SHT71, and SHT75 are humidity and temperature |
| 32 | sensors. |
| 33 | |
| Vivien Didelot | cc15c7e | 2011-04-12 15:34:38 -0400 | [diff] [blame^] | 34 | The devices communicate using two GPIO lines. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Supported resolutions for the measurements are 14 bits for temperature and 12 |
| 37 | bits for humidity, or 12 bits for temperature and 8 bits for humidity. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The humidity calibration coefficients are programmed into an OTP memory on the |
| 40 | chip. These coefficients are used to internally calibrate the signals from the |
| 41 | sensors. Disabling the reload of those coefficients allows saving 10ms for each |
| 42 | measurement and decrease power consumption, while loosing on precision. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Some options may be set directly in the sht15_platform_data structure |
| 45 | or via sysfs attributes. |

| 47 | Note: The regulator supply name is set to "vcc". |

| 50 | ------------- |
| 51 | |
| 52 | * no_otp_reload: |
| 53 | flag to indicate not to reload from OTP (default to false). |
| 54 | * low_resolution: |
| 55 | flag to indicate the temp/humidity resolution to use (default to false). |

| 58 | --------------- |
| 59 | |
| 60 | * temp1_input: temperature input |
| 61 | * humidity1_input: humidity input |
| Vivien Didelot | cc15c7e | 2011-04-12 15:34:38 -0400 | [diff] [blame^] | 62 | * heater_enable: write 1 in this attribute to enable the on-chip heater, |
| 63 | 0 to disable it. Be careful not to enable the heater |
| 64 | for too long. |
| 65 | * temp1_fault: if 1, this means that the voltage is low (below 2.47V) and |
| 66 | measurement may be invalid. |
| 67 | * humidity1_fault: same as temp1_fault. |
