58Description
59-----------
60
61The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
62Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
63set and read to half-degree accuracy.
64An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
65gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
66the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
67All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
68range of -55 to +125 degrees.
69
70The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
71will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

Jean Delvare426343e2011-10-13 17:15:11 -040073The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips
74on PC motherboards, to measure the temperature of the processor(s). Clones
75are now used in various embedded designs.

77The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
78LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
Jean Delvare426343e2011-10-13 17:15:11 -040079that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless
80they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must
81therefore be instantiated explicitly. The specific enhancements (such as
82higher resolution) are not currently supported by the driver.
R.Marek@sh.cvut.cz7f15b662005-05-26 12:42:19 +000083
84The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
85Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
