40
41This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADM1026. Analog
42Devices calls it a "complete thermal system management controller."
43
44The ADM1026 implements three (3) temperature sensors, 17 voltage sensors,
4516 general purpose digital I/O lines, eight (8) fan speed sensors (8-bit),
46an analog output and a PWM output along with limit, alarm and mask bits for
47all of the above. There is even 8k bytes of EEPROM memory on chip.
48
49Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two external
50sensor inputs and one internal sensor. Each sensor has a high and low
51limit. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt (#SMBALERT) can be
52generated. The interrupts can be masked. In addition, there are over-temp
53limits for each sensor. If this limit is exceeded, the #THERM output will
54be asserted. The current temperature and limits have a resolution of 1
55degree.
56
57Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute) but measured
58in counts of a 22.5kHz internal clock. Each fan has a high limit which
59corresponds to a minimum fan speed. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt
60can be generated. Each fan can be programmed to divide the reference clock
61by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some
62rounding is done. With a divider of 8, the slowest measurable speed of a
63two pulse per revolution fan is 661 RPM.
64
65There are 17 voltage sensors. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has
66crossed a programmable minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this
67case always means 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage
68measurements. Several inputs have integrated attenuators so they can measure
69higher voltages directly. 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V and battery voltage all have
70dedicated inputs. There are several inputs scaled to 0-3V full-scale range
71for SCSI terminator power. The remaining inputs are not scaled and have
72a 0-2.5V full-scale range. A 2.5V or 1.82V reference voltage is provided
73for negative voltage measurements.
74
75If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
76is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
77have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
78registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 2.0
79seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
80once-only alarms.
81
82The ADM1026 measures continuously. Analog inputs are measured about 4
83times a second. Fan speed measurement time depends on fan speed and
84divisor. It can take as long as 1.5 seconds to measure all fan speeds.
85
86The ADM1026 has the ability to automatically control fan speed based on the
87temperature sensor inputs. Both the PWM output and the DAC output can be
88used to control fan speed. Usually only one of these two outputs will be
89used. Write the minimum PWM or DAC value to the appropriate control
90register. Then set the low temperature limit in the tmin values for each
91temperature sensor. The range of control is fixed at 20 °C, and the
92largest difference between current and tmin of the temperature sensors sets
93the control output. See the datasheet for several example circuits for
94controlling fan speed with the PWM and DAC outputs. The fan speed sensors
95do not have PWM compensation, so it is probably best to control the fan
96voltage from the power lead rather than on the ground lead.
97
98The datasheet shows an example application with VID signals attached to
99GPIO lines. Unfortunately, the chip may not be connected to the VID lines
100in this way. The driver assumes that the chips *is* connected this way to
101get a VID voltage.
