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

16
17The WM831x series of PMICs include an AUXADC which can be used to
18monitor a range of system operating parameters, including the voltages
19of the major supplies within the system. Currently the driver provides
20reporting of all the input values but does not provide any alarms.
21
22Voltage Monitoring
23------------------
24
25Voltages are sampled by a 12 bit ADC. Voltages in milivolts are 1.465
26times the ADC value.
27
28Temperature Monitoring
29----------------------
30
31Temperatures are sampled by a 12 bit ADC. Chip and battery temperatures
32are available. The chip temperature is calculated as:
33
34 Degrees celsius = (512.18 - data) / 1.0983
35
36while the battery temperature calculation will depend on the NTC
37thermistor component.
