Description
34
-----------
35
 
36
The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
37
contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
38
 
39
The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware
40
monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The
41
hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the
42
smsc47m192 driver for that.
43
 
44
No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device
45
ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible.
46
 
47
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
48
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
49
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
50
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
51
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
52
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
53
 
54
PWM values are from 0 to 255.
55
 
56
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
57
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
58
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
59
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
60
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
61
miss once-only alarms.
