134Description
135-----------
136
137The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
138Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
139set and read to half-degree accuracy.
140An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
141gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
142the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
143All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
144range of -55 to +125 degrees.
145
146The driver caches the values for a period varying between 1 second for the
147slowest chips and 125 ms for the fastest chips; reading it more often
148will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
149
150The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips
151on PC motherboards, to measure the temperature of the processor(s). Clones
152are now used in various embedded designs.
153
154The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
155LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
156that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless
157they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must
158therefore be instantiated explicitly. Higher resolution up to 16-bit
159is supported by this driver, other specific enhancements are not.
160
161The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
162Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
