21Description
22-----------
23
24This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP421, TMP422
25and TMP423 temperature sensor chips. These chips implement one local
26and up to one (TMP421), up to two (TMP422) or up to three (TMP423)
27remote sensors. Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. The chips
28are wired over I2C/SMBus and specified over a temperature range of -40
29to +125 degrees Celsius. Resolution for both the local and remote
30channels is 0.0625 degree C.
31
32The chips support only temperature measurement. The driver exports
33the temperature values via the following sysfs files:
34
35temp[1-4]_input
36temp[2-4]_fault
