| 14 | Description |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed |
| 18 | from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and |
| 19 | PCI Express. |
| 20 | |

| 22 | Usage Notes |
| 23 | ----------- |
| 24 | |
| 25 | This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some |
| Jean Delvare | 2d2a7cf | 2009-10-04 22:53:42 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to |
| 27 | instantiate the devices explicitly. |

| 29 | Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23 |
| 30 | on I2C bus #1: |
| Jean Delvare | 2d2a7cf | 2009-10-04 22:53:42 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | $ modprobe ltc4245 |
| 32 | $ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device |

| 35 | Sysfs entries |
| 36 | ------------- |
| 37 | |
| 38 | The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This |
| 39 | makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values |
| 42 | into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings |
| 43 | rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values". |
