Description
31
-----------
32
 
33
The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an
34
external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside
35
many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature
36
sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown
37
register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree
38
accuracy.  An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the
39
temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on
40
until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in
41
degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees.
42
 
43
The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
44
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
45
 
46
The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
47
the temperature of the processor(s).
48
 
49
The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of
50
1 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional
51
remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default.
52
 
53
In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force
54
the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter.
55
A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed.

Driver Features
58
---------------
59
 
60
The driver provides up to three temperatures:
61
 
62
temp1           -- internal
63
temp2           -- remote
64
temp3           -- 2nd remote only for ADM1022
65
 
66
pwm1            -- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full)
67
pwm1_mode       -- always 0 (DC mode)
68
 
69
The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip,
70
so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not.
71
 
72
The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works
73
in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans.
