Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The LM73 is a digital temperature sensor.  All temperature values are
 | 
						|
given in degrees Celsius.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Measurement Resolution Support
 | 
						|
------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The LM73 supports four resolutions, defined in terms of degrees C per
 | 
						|
LSB: 0.25, 0.125, 0.0625, and 0.3125.  Changing the resolution mode
 | 
						|
affects the conversion time of the LM73's analog-to-digital converter.
 | 
						|
From userspace, the desired resolution can be specified as a function of
 | 
						|
conversion time via the 'update_interval' sysfs attribute for the
 | 
						|
device.  This attribute will normalize ranges of input values to the
 | 
						|
maximum times defined for the resolution in the datasheet.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Resolution    Conv. Time    Input Range
 | 
						|
    (C/LSB)       (msec)        (msec)
 | 
						|
    --------------------------------------
 | 
						|
    0.25          14             0..14
 | 
						|
    0.125         28            15..28
 | 
						|
    0.0625        56            29..56
 | 
						|
    0.03125       112           57..infinity
 | 
						|
    --------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following examples show how the 'update_interval' attribute can be
 | 
						|
used to change the conversion time:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ echo 0 > update_interval
 | 
						|
    $ cat update_interval
 | 
						|
    14
 | 
						|
    $ cat temp1_input
 | 
						|
    24250
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ echo 22 > update_interval
 | 
						|
    $ cat update_interval
 | 
						|
    28
 | 
						|
    $ cat temp1_input
 | 
						|
    24125
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ echo 56 > update_interval
 | 
						|
    $ cat update_interval
 | 
						|
    56
 | 
						|
    $ cat temp1_input
 | 
						|
    24062
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ echo 85 > update_interval
 | 
						|
    $ cat update_interval
 | 
						|
    112
 | 
						|
    $ cat temp1_input
 | 
						|
    24031
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As shown here, the lm73 driver automatically adjusts any user input for
 | 
						|
'update_interval' via a step function.  Reading back the
 | 
						|
'update_interval' value after a write operation will confirm the
 | 
						|
conversion time actively in use.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Mathematically, the resolution can be derived from the conversion time
 | 
						|
via the following function:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   g(x) = 0.250 * [log(x/14) / log(2)]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
where 'x' is the output from 'update_interval' and 'g(x)' is the
 | 
						|
resolution in degrees C per LSB.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alarm Support
 | 
						|
-------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The LM73 features a simple over-temperature alarm mechanism.  This
 | 
						|
feature is exposed via the sysfs attributes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The attributes 'temp1_max_alarm' and 'temp1_min_alarm' are flags
 | 
						|
provided by the LM73 that indicate whether the measured temperature has
 | 
						|
passed the 'temp1_max' and 'temp1_min' thresholds, respectively.  These
 | 
						|
values _must_ be read to clear the registers on the LM73.
