| 18 | Description |
| 19 | ----------- |
| 20 | |
| 21 | This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401 and |
| 22 | TMP411 chips. These chips implements one remote and one local |
| 23 | temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees |
| 24 | Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local |
| 25 | sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not |
| 26 | supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5 |
| 27 | degree). |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see |
| 30 | /Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures). |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The TMP411 chip is compatible with TMP401. It provides some additional |
| 33 | features. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Exported via sysfs attributes tempX_lowest and tempX_highest. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * Reset of historical minimum/maximum temperature measurements |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Exported via sysfs attribute temp_reset_history. Writing 1 to this |
| 42 | file triggers a reset. |
