| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the |
| Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be |
| set and read to half-degree accuracy. |
| An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature |
| gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until |
| the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. |
| All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a |
| range of -55 to +125 degrees. |
| |
| The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often |
| will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
| |
| The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips |
| on PC motherboards, to measure the temperature of the processor(s). Clones |
| are now used in various embedded designs. |
| |
| The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other |
| LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements, |
| that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless |
| they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must |
| therefore be instantiated explicitly. The specific enhancements (such as |
| higher resolution) are not currently supported by the driver. |
| |
| The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time. |
| Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs. |
