15 | Description | ||
16 | ----------- | ||
17 | |||
18 | The MAX1619 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as | ||
19 | well as the temperature of up to one external diode. | ||
20 | |||
21 | All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution | ||
22 | is 1.0 degree for the local temperature and for the remote temperature. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Only the external sensor has high and low limits. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The max1619 driver will not update its values more frequently than every | ||
27 | other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return | ||
28 | 'old' values. | ||
