Kernel driver lm73 | ||
================== | ||
|
||

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. |
