| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| LM95235 and LM95245 are 11-bit digital temperature sensors with a 2-wire System |
| Management Bus (SMBus) interface and TruTherm technology that can monitor |
| the temperature of a remote diode as well as its own temperature. |
| The chips can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of |
| external devices such as microprocessors. |
| |
| All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Local temperature |
| is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are |
| given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on |
| temperature input and range. |
| |
| Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative |
| hysteresis value common to both critical limits. To make life easier to |
| user-space applications, two absolute values are exported, one for each |
| channel, but these values are of course linked. Only the local hysteresis |
| can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote |
| hysteresis. |
| |
| The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values. |
| It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact |
| values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return |
| 'old' values. |
