Description
-----------
The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
ADM1021-clones.
The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
otherwise.
ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared!
This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
for that.
Xeon support
------------
Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips
within them, with two temperature sensors.
Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor.
If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures
appear valid, then things are good.
If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this:
modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS
ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate
adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct
addresses.

Description
-----------
(This is from Analog Devices.) The ADM1025 is a complete system hardware
monitor for microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit
comparison of various system parameters. Five voltage measurement inputs
are provided, for monitoring +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V power supplies and
the processor core voltage. The ADM1025 can monitor a sixth power-supply
voltage by measuring its own VCC. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a
remote temperature-sensing diode and an on-chip temperature sensor allows
ambient temperature to be monitored.
One specificity of this chip is that the pin 11 can be hardwired in two
different manners. It can act as the +12V power-supply voltage analog
input, or as the a fifth digital entry for the VID reading (bit 4). It's
kind of strange since both are useful, and the reason for designing the
chip that way is obscure at least to me. The bit 5 of the configuration
register can be used to define how the chip is hardwired. Please note that
it is not a choice you have to make as the user. The choice was already
made by your motherboard's maker. If the configuration bit isn't set
properly, you'll have a wrong +12V reading or a wrong VID reading. The way
the driver handles that is to preserve this bit through the initialization
process, assuming that the BIOS set it up properly beforehand. If it turns
out not to be true in some cases, we'll provide a module parameter to force
modes.
This driver also supports the ADM1025A, which differs from the ADM1025
only in that it has "open-drain VID inputs while the ADM1025 has on-chip
100k pull-ups on the VID inputs". It doesn't make any difference for us.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADM1026. Analog
Devices calls it a "complete thermal system management controller."
The ADM1026 implements three (3) temperature sensors, 17 voltage sensors,
16 general purpose digital I/O lines, eight (8) fan speed sensors (8-bit),
an analog output and a PWM output along with limit, alarm and mask bits for
all of the above. There is even 8k bytes of EEPROM memory on chip.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two external
sensor inputs and one internal sensor. Each sensor has a high and low
limit. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt (#SMBALERT) can be
generated. The interrupts can be masked. In addition, there are over-temp
limits for each sensor. If this limit is exceeded, the #THERM output will
be asserted. The current temperature and limits have a resolution of 1
degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute) but measured
in counts of a 22.5kHz internal clock. Each fan has a high limit which
corresponds to a minimum fan speed. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt
can be generated. Each fan can be programmed to divide the reference clock
by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some
rounding is done. With a divider of 8, the slowest measurable speed of a
two pulse per revolution fan is 661 RPM.
There are 17 voltage sensors. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has
crossed a programmable minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this
case always means 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage
measurements. Several inputs have integrated attenuators so they can measure
higher voltages directly. 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V and battery voltage all have
dedicated inputs. There are several inputs scaled to 0-3V full-scale range
for SCSI terminator power. The remaining inputs are not scaled and have
a 0-2.5V full-scale range. A 2.5V or 1.82V reference voltage is provided
for negative voltage measurements.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 2.0
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The ADM1026 measures continuously. Analog inputs are measured about 4
times a second. Fan speed measurement time depends on fan speed and
divisor. It can take as long as 1.5 seconds to measure all fan speeds.
The ADM1026 has the ability to automatically control fan speed based on the
temperature sensor inputs. Both the PWM output and the DAC output can be
used to control fan speed. Usually only one of these two outputs will be
used. Write the minimum PWM or DAC value to the appropriate control
register. Then set the low temperature limit in the tmin values for each
temperature sensor. The range of control is fixed at 20 °C, and the
largest difference between current and tmin of the temperature sensors sets
the control output. See the datasheet for several example circuits for
controlling fan speed with the PWM and DAC outputs. The fan speed sensors
do not have PWM compensation, so it is probably best to control the fan
voltage from the power lead rather than on the ground lead.
The datasheet shows an example application with VID signals attached to
GPIO lines. Unfortunately, the chip may not be connected to the VID lines
in this way. The driver assumes that the chips *is* connected this way to
get a VID voltage.

Supported Chips:

Prefix: 'asb100'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2d
Datasheet: none released
Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach".
These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to
supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped
investigate their hardware, including:
Vitaly V. Bursov
Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows)
Bertrik Sikken
The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed
sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to
these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and
3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM
controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for
me).
Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius.
Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your
processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or
processor itself. It is a value in volts.
Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work)
0x0001 => in0 (?)
0x0002 => in1 (?)
0x0004 => in2
0x0008 => in3

0x0400 => in6 (?) (2)
0x0800 => fan3
0x1000 => chassis switch
0x2000 => temp3
Alarm Notes:
(1) This alarm will only trigger if the hysteresis value is 127C.
I.e. it behaves the same as w83781d.
(2) The min and max registers for these values appear to
be read-only or otherwise stuck at 0x00.
TODO:
* Experiment with fan divisors > 8.
* Experiment with temp. sensor types.
* Are there really 13 voltage inputs? Probably not...
* Cleanups, no doubt...

Module Parameters
------------------
* polarity int
Output's polarity: 0 = active high, 1 = active low
Description
-----------
The DS1621 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has
both high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.
programmed into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55
degree Celsius to +125 in 0.5 increments. You may convert this into a
Fahrenheit range of -67 to +257 degrees with 0.9 steps. If polarity
parameter is not provided, original value is used.
As for the thermostat, behavior can also be programmed using the polarity
toggle. On the one hand ("heater"), the thermostat output of the chip,
Tout, will trigger when the low limit temperature is met or underrun and
stays high until the high limit is met or exceeded. On the other hand
("cooler"), vice versa. That way "heater" equals "active low", whereas
"conditioner" equals "active high". Please note that the DS1621 data sheet
is somewhat misleading in this point since setting the polarity bit does
not simply invert Tout.
A second thing is that, during extensive testing, Tout showed a tolerance
of up to +/- 0.5 degrees even when compared against precise temperature
readings. Be sure to have a high vs. low temperature limit gap of al least
1.0 degree Celsius to avoid Tout "bouncing", though!
As for alarms, you can read the alarm status of the DS1621 via the 'alarms'
/sys file interface. The result consists mainly of bit 6 and 5 of the
configuration register of the chip; bit 6 (0x40 or 64) is the high alarm
bit and bit 5 (0x20 or 32) the low one. These bits are set when the high or
low limits are met or exceeded and are reset by the module as soon as the
respective temperature ranges are left.
The alarm registers are in no way suitable to find out about the actual
status of Tout. They will only tell you about its history, whether or not
any of the limits have ever been met or exceeded since last power-up or
reset. Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change
with neither of the alarms set.
Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to
non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.
High Accuracy Temperature Reading
---------------------------------
As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
(the driver manages them):
Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
- Then, read REG_COUNT.
- And then, REG_SLOPE.
TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

Description
-----------
This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
than one address.
DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
addresses, is found.
Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
does not support this register.
Lacking functionality:
* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
multiple addresses.
* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
until the values are restored somehow.
Use:
After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
contains the binary data from EEPROM.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
from Fujitsu-Siemens.
The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
the chip.
Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
for further calculations.

Below you'll find a single line description of all the bit values. With
this information, you're able to decode e. g. alarms, wdog, etc. To make
use of the watchdog, you'll need to set the watchdog time and enable the
watchdog. After that it is necessary to restart the watchdog time within
the specified period of time, or a system reset will occur.

Limitations
-----------
* Measuring fan speed
It seems that the chip counts "ripples" (typical fans produce 2 ripples per
rotation while VERAX fans produce 18) in a 9-bit register. This register is
read out every second, then the ripple prescaler (2, 4 or 8) is applied and
the result is stored in the 8 bit output register. Due to the limitation of
the counting register to 9 bits, it is impossible to measure a VERAX fan
properly (even with a prescaler of 8). At its maximum speed of 3500 RPM the
fan produces 1080 ripples per second which causes the counting register to
overflow twice, leading to only 186 RPM.
* Measuring input voltages
in2 ("battery") reports the voltage of the onboard lithium battery and not
+3.3V from the power supply.
* Undocumented features
Fujitsu-Siemens Computers has not documented all features of the chip so
far. Their software, System Guard, shows that there are a still some
features which cannot be controlled by this implementation.

Description
-----------
IMPORTANT:
For the revision 0x00 chip, the in0, in1, and in2 values (+5V, +3V,
and +12V) CANNOT be read. This is a limitation of the chip, not the driver.
This driver supports the Genesys Logic GL518SM chip. There are at least
two revision of this chip, which we call revision 0x00 and 0x80. Revision
0x80 chips support the reading of all voltages and revision 0x00 only
for VIN3.
The GL518SM implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed
sensors, and four voltage sensors. It can report alarms through the
computer speakers.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm goes off while the
temperature is above the over temperature limit, and has not yet dropped
below the hysteresis limit. The alarm always reflects the current
situation. Measurements are guaranteed between -10 degrees and +110
degrees, with a accuracy of +/-3 degrees.
Rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. In
case when you have selected to turn fan1 off, no fan1 alarm is triggered.
Fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to
give the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can
accurately be represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider
of 2, the lowest representable value is around 1900 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as VIN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. The VDD input
measures voltages between 0.000 and 5.865 volt, with a resolution of 0.023
volt. The other inputs measure voltages between 0.000 and 4.845 volt, with
a resolution of 0.019 volt. Note that revision 0x00 chips do not support
reading the current voltage of any input except for VIN3; limit setting and
alarms work fine, though.
When an alarm is triggered, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only the
beeping for some alarms.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once (except for temperature alarms). This means that the
cause for the alarm may already have disappeared! Note that in the current
implementation, all hardware registers are read whenever any data is read
(unless it is less than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that
you can easily miss once-only alarms.
The GL518SM only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

-----------------
* update_vbat: int
0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
* fix_pwm_polarity int
Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the IT8705F, IT8712F and SiS950 chips.
This driver also supports IT8712F, which adds SMBus access, and a VID
input, used to report the Vcore voltage of the Pentium processor.
The IT8712F additionally features VID inputs.
These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, and associated alarms.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give the
readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
0.016 volt. The battery voltage in8 does not have limit registers.
The VID lines (IT8712F only) encode the core voltage value: the voltage
level your processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard
and/or processor itself. It is a value in volts.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 2 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (2 = thermistor;
3 = thermal diode)
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.

Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website

Author: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Thanks go to Tyan and especially Alex Buckingham for setting up a remote
access to their S4882 test platform for this driver.
http://www.tyan.com/
Description
-----------
The LM63 is a digital temperature sensor with integrated fan monitoring
and control.
The LM63 is basically an LM86 with fan speed monitoring and control
capabilities added. It misses some of the LM86 features though:
- No low limit for local temperature.
- No critical limit for local temperature.
- Critical limit for remote temperature can be changed only once. We
will consider that the critical limit is read-only.
The datasheet isn't very clear about what the tachometer reading is.
An explanation from National Semiconductor: The two lower bits of the read
value have to be masked out. The value is still 16 bit in width.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution is 1.0
degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote temperature.
The fan speed is measured using a tachometer. Contrary to most chips which
store the value in an 8-bit register and have a selectable clock divider
to make sure that the result will fit in the register, the LM63 uses 16-bit
value for measuring the speed of the fan. It can measure fan speeds down to
83 RPM, at least in theory.
Note that the pin used for fan monitoring is shared with an alert out
function. Depending on how the board designer wanted to use the chip, fan
speed monitoring will or will not be possible. The proper chip configuration
is left to the BIOS, and the driver will blindly trust it.
A PWM output can be used to control the speed of the fan. The LM63 has two
PWM modes: manual and automatic. Automatic mode is not fully implemented yet
(you cannot define your custom PWM/temperature curve), and mode change isn't
supported either.
The lm63 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return 'old'
values.

Description
-----------
The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
set and read to half-degree accuracy.
An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
range of -55 to +125 degrees.
The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
The LM75 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
the temperature of the processor(s).
The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well.
They are not distinguished from an LM75. While most of these chips
have three additional bits of accuracy (12 vs. 9 for the LM75),
the additional bits are not supported. Not only that, but these chips will
not be detected if not in 9-bit precision mode (use the force parameter if
needed).
The TCN75 is supported as well, and is not distinguished from an LM75.
The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
that are supported.
The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM78, LM78-J
and LM79. They are described as 'Microprocessor System Hardware Monitors'.
There is almost no difference between the three supported chips. Functionally,
the LM78 and LM78-J are exactly identical. The LM79 has one more VID line,
which is used to report the lower voltages newer Pentium processors use.
From here on, LM7* means either of these three types.
The LM7* implements one temperature sensor, three fan rotation speed sensors,
seven voltage sensors, VID lines, alarms, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed; it is triggered again
as soon as it drops below the Hysteresis value. A more useful behavior
can be found by setting the Hysteresis value to +127 degrees Celsius; in
this case, alarms are issued during all the time when the actual temperature
is above the Overtemperature Shutdown value. Measurements are guaranteed
between -55 and +125 degrees, with a resolution of 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
of 0.016 volt.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your processor
should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or processor itself.
It is a value in volts. When it is unconnected, you will often find the
value 3.50 V here.
In addition to the alarms described above, there are a couple of additional
ones. There is a BTI alarm, which gets triggered when an external chip has
crossed its limits. Usually, this is connected to all LM75 chips; if at
least one crosses its limits, this bit gets set. The CHAS alarm triggers
if your computer case is open. The FIFO alarms should never trigger; it
indicates an internal error. The SMI_IN alarm indicates some other chip
has triggered an SMI interrupt. As we do not use SMI interrupts at all,
this condition usually indicates there is a problem with some other
device.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.

will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

It is described as a 'Serial Interface ACPI-Compatible Microprocessor
System Hardware Monitor'.
The LM80 implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed sensors,
seven voltage sensors, alarms, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two sets of limits
which operate independently. When the HOT Temperature Limit is crossed,
this will cause an alarm that will be reasserted until the temperature
drops below the HOT Hysteresis. The Overtemperature Shutdown (OS) limits
should work in the same way (but this must be checked; the datasheet
is unclear about this). Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and
+125 degrees. The current temperature measurement has a resolution of
0.0625 degrees; the limits have a resolution of 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be

or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to

inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 2.55 volts, with a resolution
of 0.01 volt.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all

Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM83.html
Author: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Description
-----------
The LM83 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
well as the temperature of up to three external diodes. It is compatible
with many other devices such as the LM84 and all other ADM1021 clones.
The main difference between the LM83 and the LM84 in that the later can
only sense the temperature of one external diode.
Using the adm1021 driver for a LM83 should work, but only two temperatures
will be reported instead of four.
The LM83 is only found on a handful of motherboards. Both a confirmed
list and an unconfirmed list follow. If you can confirm or infirm the
fact that any of these motherboards do actually have an LM83, please
contact us. Note that the LM90 can easily be misdetected as a LM83.
Confirmed motherboards:
SBS P014
Unconfirmed motherboards:
Gigabyte GA-8IK1100
Iwill MPX2
Soltek SL-75DRV5
The driver has been successfully tested by Magnus Forsström, who I'd
like to thank here. More testers will be of course welcome.
The fact that the LM83 is only scarcely used can be easily explained.
Most motherboards come with more than just temperature sensors for
health monitoring. They also have voltage and fan rotation speed
sensors. This means that temperature-only chips are usually used as
secondary chips coupled with another chip such as an IT8705F or similar
chip, which provides more features. Since systems usually need three
temperature sensors (motherboard, processor, power supply) and primary
chips provide some temperature sensors, the secondary chip, if needed,
won't have to handle more than two temperatures. Thus, ADM1021 clones
are sufficient, and there is no need for a four temperatures sensor
chip such as the LM83. The only case where using an LM83 would make
sense is on SMP systems, such as the above-mentioned Iwill MPX2,
because you want an additional temperature sensor for each additional
CPU.
On the SBS P014, this is different, since the LM83 is the only hardware
monitoring chipset. One temperature sensor is used for the motherboard
(actually measuring the LM83's own temperature), one is used for the
CPU. The two other sensors must be used to measure the temperature of
two other points of the motherboard. We suspect these points to be the
north and south bridges, but this couldn't be confirmed.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Local temperature
is given within a range of 0 to +85 degrees. Remote temperatures are
given within a range of 0 to +125 degrees. Resolution is 1.0 degree,
accuracy is guaranteed to 3.0 degrees (see the datasheet for more
details).
Each sensor has its own high limit, but the critical limit is common to
all four sensors. There is no hysteresis mechanism as found on most
recent temperature sensors.
The lm83 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
'old' values.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM85 and
compatible chips including the Analog Devices ADM1027, ADT7463 and
SMSC EMC6D10x chips family.
The LM85 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
temperatures and five (5) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
measuring fan speed. Five (5) digital inputs are provided for sampling the
VID signals from the processor to the VRM. Lastly, there are three (3) PWM
outputs that can be used to control fan speed.
The voltage inputs have internal scaling resistors so that the following
voltage can be measured without external resistors:
2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and CPU core voltage (2.25V)
The temperatures measured are one internal diode, and two remote diodes.
Remote 1 is generally the CPU temperature. These inputs are designed to
measure a thermal diode like the one in a Pentium 4 processor in a socket
423 or socket 478 package. They can also measure temperature using a
transistor like the 2N3904.
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
LM85 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
programmable. Once configured, the LM85 will adjust the PWM outputs in
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
corresponding high/low limit values. The LM85 will signal an ALARM if any
measured value exceeds either limit.
The LM85 samples all inputs continuously. The lm85 driver will not read
the registers more often than once a second. Further, configuration data is
only read once each 5 minutes. There is twice as much config data as
measurements, so this would seem to be a worthwhile optimization.
Special Features
----------------
The LM85 has four fan speed monitoring modes. The ADM1027 has only two.
Both have special circuitry to compensate for PWM interactions with the
TACH signal from the fans. The ADM1027 can be configured to measure the
speed of a two wire fan, but the input conditioning circuitry is different
for 3-wire and 2-wire mode. For this reason, the 2-wire fan modes are not
exposed to user control. The BIOS should initialize them to the correct
mode. If you've designed your own ADM1027, you'll have to modify the
init_client function and add an insmod parameter to set this up.
To smooth the response of fans to changes in temperature, the LM85 has an
optional filter for smoothing temperatures. The ADM1027 has the same
config option but uses it to rate limit the changes to fan speed instead.
The ADM1027 and ADT7463 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure
temperatures with 0.25 degC resolution. They also provide an offset to the
temperature readings that is automatically applied during measurement.
This offset can be used to zero out any errors due to traces and placement.
The documentation says that the offset is in 0.25 degC steps, but in
initial testing of the ADM1027 it was 1.00 degC steps. Analog Devices has
confirmed this "bug". The ADT7463 is reported to work as described in the
documentation. The current lm85 driver does not show the offset register.
The ADT7463 has a THERM asserted counter. This counter has a 22.76ms
resolution and a range of 5.8 seconds. The driver implements a 32-bit
accumulator of the counter value to extend the range to over a year. The
counter will stay at it's max value until read.
See the vendor datasheets for more information. There is application note
from National (AN-1260) with some additional information about the LM85.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
The SMSC EMC6D100 & EMC6D101 monitor external voltages, temperatures, and
fan speeds. They use this monitoring capability to alert the system to out
of limit conditions and can automatically control the speeds of multiple
fans in a PC or embedded system. The EMC6D101, available in a 24-pin SSOP
package, and the EMC6D100, available in a 28-pin SSOP package, are designed
to be register compatible. The EMC6D100 offers all the features of the
EMC6D101 plus additional voltage monitoring and system control features.
Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish between the package
versions on register level so these additional voltage inputs may read
zero. The EMC6D102 features addtional ADC bits thus extending precision
of voltage and temperature channels.
Hardware Configurations
-----------------------
The LM85 can be jumpered for 3 different SMBus addresses. There are
no other hardware configuration options for the LM85.
The lm85 driver detects both LM85B and LM85C revisions of the chip. See the
datasheet for a complete description of the differences. Other than
identifying the chip, the driver behaves no differently with regard to
these two chips. The LM85B is recommended for new designs.
The ADM1027 and ADT7463 chips have an optional SMBALERT output that can be
used to signal the chipset in case a limit is exceeded or the temperature
sensors fail. Individual sensor interrupts can be masked so they won't
trigger SMBALERT. The SMBALERT output if configured replaces one of the other
functions (PWM2 or IN0). This functionality is not implemented in current
driver.
The ADT7463 also has an optional THERM output/input which can be connected
to the processor PROC_HOT output. If available, the autofan control
dynamic Tmin feature can be enabled to keep the system temperature within
spec (just?!) with the least possible fan noise.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
Besides standard interfaces driver adds following:
* Temperatures and Zones
Each temperature sensor is associated with a Zone. There are three
sensors and therefore three zones (# 1, 2 and 3). Each zone has the following
temperature configuration points:
* temp#_auto_temp_off - temperature below which fans should be off or spinning very low.
* temp#_auto_temp_min - temperature over which fans start to spin.
* temp#_auto_temp_max - temperature when fans spin at full speed.
* temp#_auto_temp_crit - temperature when all fans will run full speed.
* PWM Control
There are three PWM outputs. The LM85 datasheet suggests that the
pwm3 output control both fan3 and fan4. Each PWM can be individually
configured and assigned to a zone for it's control value. Each PWM can be
configured individually according to the following options.
* pwm#_auto_pwm_min - this specifies the PWM value for temp#_auto_temp_off
temperature. (PWM value from 0 to 255)
* pwm#_auto_pwm_freq - select base frequency of PWM output. You can select
in range of 10.0 to 94.0 Hz in .1 Hz units.
(Values 100 to 940).
The pwm#_auto_pwm_freq can be set to one of the following 8 values. Setting the
frequency to a value not on this list, will result in the next higher frequency
being selected. The actual device frequency may vary slightly from this
specification as designed by the manufacturer. Consult the datasheet for more
details. (PWM Frequency values: 100, 150, 230, 300, 380, 470, 620, 940)
* pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl - this flags selects for temp#_auto_temp_off temperature
the bahaviour of fans. Write 1 to let fans spinning at
pwm#_auto_pwm_min or write 0 to let them off.
NOTE: It has been reported that there is a bug in the LM85 that causes the flag
to be associated with the zones not the PWMs. This contradicts all the
published documentation. Setting pwm#_min_ctl in this case actually affects all
PWMs controlled by zone '#'.
* PWM Controlling Zone selection
* pwm#_auto_channels - controls zone that is associated with PWM
Configuration choices:
Value Meaning
------ ------------------------------------------------
1 Controlled by Zone 1
2 Controlled by Zone 2
3 Controlled by Zone 3
23 Controlled by higher temp of Zone 2 or 3
123 Controlled by highest temp of Zone 1, 2 or 3
0 PWM always 0% (off)
-1 PWM always 100% (full on)
-2 Manual control (write to 'pwm#' to set)
The National LM85's have two vendor specific configuration
features. Tach. mode and Spinup Control. For more details on these,
see the LM85 datasheet or Application Note AN-1260.
The Analog Devices ADM1027 has several vendor specific enhancements.
The number of pulses-per-rev of the fans can be set, Tach monitoring
can be optimized for PWM operation, and an offset can be applied to
the temperatures to compensate for systemic errors in the
measurements.
In addition to the ADM1027 features, the ADT7463 also has Tmin control
and THERM asserted counts. Automatic Tmin control acts to adjust the
Tmin value to maintain the measured temperature sensor at a specified
temperature. There isn't much documentation on this feature in the
ADT7463 data sheet. This is not supported by current driver.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM87.
The LM87 implements up to three temperature sensors, up to two fan
rotation speed sensors, up to seven voltage sensors, alarms, and some
miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Each input has a high
and low alarm settings. A high limit produces an alarm when the value
goes above it, and an alarm is also produced when the value goes below
the low limit.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in
volts. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable
minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means
'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.0 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
The lm87 driver only updates its values each 1.0 seconds; reading it more
often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Hardware Configurations
-----------------------
The LM87 has four pins which can serve one of two possible functions,
depending on the hardware configuration.
Some functions share pins, so not all functions are available at the same
time. Which are depends on the hardware setup. This driver assumes that
the BIOS configured the chip correctly. In that respect, it differs from
the original driver (from lm_sensors for Linux 2.4), which would force the
LM87 to an arbitrary, compile-time chosen mode, regardless of the actual
chipset wiring.
For reference, here is the list of exclusive functions:
- in0+in5 (default) or temp3
- fan1 (default) or in6
- fan2 (default) or in7
- VID lines (default) or IRQ lines (not handled by this driver)

Description
-----------
The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible
with many other devices such as the LM86, the LM89, the LM99, the ADM1032,
the MAX6657, MAX6658 and the MAX6659 all of which are supported by this driver.
Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the last three
variants. The extra address and features of the MAX6659 are not supported by
this driver. Additionally, the ADT7461 is supported if found in ADM1032
compatibility mode.
The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84
family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an
increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement.
The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although
very similar. This driver doesn't handle any specific feature for now,
but could if there ever was a need for it. For reference, here comes a
non-exhaustive list of specific features:
LM90:
* Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF.
* ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits.
LM86 and LM89:
* Same as LM90
* Better external channel accuracy
LM99:
* Same as LM89
* External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down
ADM1032:
* Consecutive alert register at 0x22.
* Conversion averaging.
* Up to 64 conversions/s.
* ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor.
ADT7461
* Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility)
* Lower resolution for remote temperature
MAX6657 and MAX6658:
* Remote sensor type selection
MAX6659
* Selectable address
* Second critical temperature limit
* Remote sensor type selection
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote
temperature.
Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.
Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical
values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values
are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked.
Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta
applies to the remote hysteresis.
The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
'old' values.

* init int
Chip initialization level:
0: None
*1: Forcibly enable internal voltage and temperature channels, except in9
2: Forcibly enable all voltage and temperature channels, except in9
3: Forcibly enable all voltage and temperature channels, including in9
Note that this parameter has no effect for the PC87360, PC87363 and PC87364
chips.
Also note that for the PC87366, initialization levels 2 and 3 don't enable
all temperature channels, because some of them share pins with each other,
so they can't be used at the same time.
Description
-----------
The National Semiconductor PC87360 Super I/O chip contains monitoring and
PWM control circuitry for two fans. The PC87363 chip is similar, and the
PC87364 chip has monitoring and PWM control for a third fan.
The National Semiconductor PC87365 and PC87366 Super I/O chips are complete
hardware monitoring chipsets, not only controlling and monitoring three fans,
but also monitoring eleven voltage inputs and two (PC87365) or up to four
(PC87366) temperatures.
Chip #vin #fan #pwm #temp devid
PC87360 - 2 2 - 0xE1
PC87363 - 2 2 - 0xE8
PC87364 - 3 3 - 0xE4
PC87365 11 3 3 2 0xE5
PC87366 11 3 3 3-4 0xE9
The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, and one of the
standard Super I/O addresses is used (0x2E/0x2F or 0x4E/0x4F)
Fan Monitoring
--------------
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (revolutions per minute). An alarm
is triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
A different alarm is triggered if the fan speed is too low to be measured.
Fan readings are affected by a programmable clock divider, giving the
readings more range or accuracy. Usually, users have to learn how it works,
but this driver implements dynamic clock divider selection, so you don't
have to care no more.
For reference, here are a few values about clock dividers:
slowest accuracy highest
measurable around 3000 accurate
divider speed (RPM) RPM (RPM) speed (RPM)
1 1882 18 6928
2 941 37 4898
4 470 74 3464
8 235 150 2449
For the curious, here is how the values above were computed:
* slowest measurable speed: clock/(255*divider)
* accuracy around 3000 RPM: 3000^2/clock
* highest accurate speed: sqrt(clock*100)
The clock speed for the PC87360 family is 480 kHz. I arbitrarily chose 100
RPM as the lowest acceptable accuracy.
As mentioned above, you don't have to care about this no more.
Note that not all RPM values can be represented, even when the best clock
divider is selected. This is not only true for the measured speeds, but
also for the programmable low limits, so don't be surprised if you try to
set, say, fan1_min to 2900 and it finally reads 2909.
Fan Control
-----------
PWM (pulse width modulation) values range from 0 to 255, with 0 meaning
that the fan is stopped, and 255 meaning that the fan goes at full speed.
Be extremely careful when changing PWM values. Low PWM values, even
non-zero, can stop the fan, which may cause irreversible damage to your
hardware if temperature increases too much. When changing PWM values, go
step by step and keep an eye on temperatures.
One user reported problems with PWM. Changing PWM values would break fan
speed readings. No explanation nor fix could be found.
Temperature Monitoring
----------------------
Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. Each temperature measured has
associated low, high and overtemperature limits, each of which triggers an
alarm when crossed.
The first two temperature channels are external. The third one (PC87366
only) is internal.
The PC87366 has three additional temperature channels, based on
thermistors (as opposed to thermal diodes for the first three temperature
channels). For technical reasons, these channels are held by the VLM
(voltage level monitor) logical device, not the TMS (temperature
measurement) one. As a consequence, these temperatures are exported as
voltages, and converted into temperatures in user-space.
Note that these three additional channels share their pins with the
external thermal diode channels, so you (physically) can't use them all at
the same time. Although it should be possible to mix the two sensor types,
the documents from National Semiconductor suggest that motherboard
manufacturers should choose one type and stick to it. So you will more
likely have either channels 1 to 3 (thermal diodes) or 3 to 6 (internal
thermal diode, and thermistors).
Voltage Monitoring
------------------
Voltages are reported relatively to a reference voltage, either internal or
external. Some of them (in7:Vsb, in8:Vdd and in10:AVdd) are divided by two
internally, you will have to compensate in sensors.conf. Others (in0 to in6)
are likely to be divided externally. The meaning of each of these inputs as
well as the values of the resistors used for division is left to the
motherboard manufacturers, so you will have to document yourself and edit
sensors.conf accordingly. National Semiconductor has a document with
recommended resistor values for some voltages, but this still leaves much
room for per motherboard specificities, unfortunately. Even worse,
motherboard manufacturers don't seem to care about National Semiconductor's
recommendations.
Each voltage measured has associated low and high limits, each of which
triggers an alarm when crossed.
When available, VID inputs are used to provide the nominal CPU Core voltage.
The driver will default to VRM 9.0, but this can be changed from user-space.
The chipsets can handle two sets of VID inputs (on dual-CPU systems), but
the driver will only export one for now. This may change later if there is
a need.
General Remarks
---------------
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that all hardware registers are read whenever any
data is read (unless it is less than 2 seconds since the last update, in
which case cached values are returned instead). As a consequence, when
a once-only alarm triggers, it may take 2 seconds for it to show, and 2
more seconds for it to disappear.
Monitoring of in9 isn't enabled at lower init levels (<3) because that
channel measures the battery voltage (Vbat). It is a known fact that
repeatedly sampling the battery voltage reduces its lifetime. National
Semiconductor smartly designed their chipset so that in9 is sampled only
once every 1024 sampling cycles (that is every 34 minutes at the default
sampling rate), so the effect is attenuated, but still present.
Limitations
-----------
The datasheets suggests that some values (fan mins, fan dividers)
shouldn't be changed once the monitoring has started, but we ignore that

Description
-----------
The PCF8574(A) is an 8-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus produced by Philips
Semiconductors. It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 16
separate devices (8 x PCF8574 and 8 x PCF8574A).
This device consists of a quasi-bidirectional port. Each of the eight I/Os
can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
For more informations see the datasheet.
Accessing PCF8574(A) via /sys interface
-------------------------------------
! Be careful !
The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
So every chip with address in the interval [20..27] and [38..3f] are
detected as PCF8574(A). If you have other chips in this address
range, the workaround is to load this module after the one
for your others chips.
On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
created for each detected PCF8574(A):
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
Inside these directories, there are two files each:
read and write (and one file with chip name).
The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
value, that is to say 0.
The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
port. Reading returns the last written value.
On module initialization the chip is configured as eight inputs (all
outputs to 1), so you can connect any circuit to the PCF8574(A) without
being afraid of short-circuit.

Description
-----------
The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one
analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors. It
is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.
The PCF8591 has 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or
differential inputs :
- mode 0 : four single ended inputs
Pins AIN0 to AIN3 are single ended inputs for channels 0 to 3
- mode 1 : three differential inputs
Pins AIN3 is the common negative differential input
Pins AIN0 to AIN2 are positive differential inputs for channels 0 to 2
- mode 2 : single ended and differential mixed
Pins AIN0 and AIN1 are single ended inputs for channels 0 and 1
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 3
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 3
- mode 3 : two differential inputs
Pins AIN0 is the positive differential input for channel 0
Pins AIN1 is the negative differential input for channel 0
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 1
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 1
See the datasheet for details.
Module parameters
-----------------
* input_mode int
Analog input mode:

Accessing PCF8591 via /sys interface
-------------------------------------
! Be careful !
The PCF8591 is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
So every chip with address in the interval [48..4f] is
detected as PCF8591. If you have other chips in this address
range, the workaround is to load this module after the one

On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being

/sys/bus/devices/<0>-<1>/
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
and <1> the chip address ([48..4f])
Inside these directories, there are such files:
in0, in1, in2, in3, out0_enable, out0_output, name
Name contains chip name.
The in0, in1, in2 and in3 files are RO. Reading gives the value of the
corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs configuration,
files in2 and/or in3 do not exist. Values range are from 0 to 255 for single
ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs (8-bit ADC).
The out0_enable file is RW. Reading gives "1" for analog output enabled and
"0" for analog output disabled. Writing accepts "0" and "1" accordingly.
The out0_output file is RW. Writing a number between 0 and 255 (8-bit DAC), send
the value to the digital-to-analog converter. Note that a voltage will
only appears on AOUT pin if aout0_enable equals 1. Reading returns the last
value written.

base address is not set.
Example: 'modprobe sis5595 force_addr=0x290'
Description
-----------
The SiS5595 southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functions. It also
has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the
I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595.
The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed
sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms.
On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one
temperature sensor.
On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the
fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not
through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin,
which was hopefully set by the BIOS.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min
value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a
resolution of 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
0.016 volt.
In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets
triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is
connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this
bit gets set.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Problems
--------
Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why.
The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg.

Description
-----------
The driver does not distinguish between the chips and reports
all as a 686A.
The Via 686a southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functionality.
It also has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor.
For the I2C bus driver, see <file:Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-viapro>
The Via 686a implements three temperature sensors, two fan rotation speed
sensors, five voltage sensors and alarms.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed; it is triggered again
as soon as it drops below the hysteresis value.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan

representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Voltages are internally scalled, so each voltage channel
has a different resolution and range.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.
We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
initialization that were required in the w83781d driver.
If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
now that this ISA driver has been developed.
Technically, the w83627thf does not support a VID reading. However, it's
possible or even likely that your mainboard maker has routed these signals
to a specific set of general purpose IO pins (the Asus P4C800-E is one such
board). The w83627thf driver now interprets these as VID. If the VID on
your board doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package. If
that still doesn't help, email us at lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org.
For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver
documentation.

to them collectively as W8378* chips.
There is quite some difference between these chips, but they are similar
enough that it was sensible to put them together in one driver.
The W83627HF chip is assumed to be identical to the ISA W83782D.
The Asus chips are similar to an I2C-only W83782D.

Detection of these chips can sometimes be foiled because they can be in
an internal state that allows no clean access. If you know the address
of the chip, use a 'force' parameter; this will put them into a more
well-behaved state first.
The W8378* implements temperature sensors (three on the W83781D and W83782D,
two on the W83783S), three fan rotation speed sensors, voltage sensors
(seven on the W83781D, nine on the W83782D and six on the W83783S), VID
lines, alarms with beep warnings, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There is always one main
temperature sensor, and one (W83783S) or two (W83781D and W83782D) other
sensors. An alarm is triggered for the main sensor once when the
Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed; it is triggered again as soon as
it drops below the Hysteresis value. A more useful behavior
can be found by setting the Hysteresis value to +127 degrees Celsius; in
this case, alarms are issued during all the time when the actual temperature
is above the Overtemperature Shutdown value. The driver sets the
hysteresis value for temp1 to 127 at initialization.
For the other temperature sensor(s), an alarm is triggered when the
temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays
on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. But on the
W83781D, there is only one alarm that functions for both other sensors!
Temperatures are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. The
main temperature sensors has a resolution of 1 degree; the other sensor(s)
of 0.5 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8 for the
W83781D; 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 for the others) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately
be represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
of 0.016 volt.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your processor
should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or processor itself.
It is a value in volts. When it is unconnected, you will often find the
value 3.50 V here.
The W83782D and W83783S temperature conversion machine understands about
several kinds of temperature probes. You can program the so-called
beta value in the sensor files. '1' is the PII/Celeron diode, '2' is the
TN3904 transistor, and 3435 the default thermistor value. Other values
are (not yet) supported.
In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the
chips which triggers if your computer case is open.
When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through
your computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally,
or only the beeping for some alarms.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
The chips only update values each 1.5 seconds; reading them more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
AS99127F PROBLEMS
-----------------
The as99127f support was developed without the benefit of a datasheet.
In most cases it is treated as a w83781d (although revision 2 of the
AS99127F looks more like a w83782d).
This support will be BETA until a datasheet is released.
One user has reported problems with fans stopping
occasionally.
Note that the individual beep bits are inverted from the other chips.
The driver now takes care of this so that user-space applications
don't have to know about it.
Known problems:
- Problems with diode/thermistor settings (supported?)
- One user reports fans stopping under high server load.
- Revision 2 seems to have 2 PWM registers but we don't know
how to handle them. More details below.
These will not be fixed unless we get a datasheet.
If you have problems, please lobby Asus to release a datasheet.
Unfortunately several others have without success.
Please do not send mail to us asking for better as99127f support.
We have done the best we can without a datasheet.
Please do not send mail to the author or the sensors group asking for
a datasheet or ideas on how to convince Asus. We can't help.
NOTES:
-----
783s has no in1 so that in[2-6] are compatible with the 781d/782d.
783s pin is programmable for -5V or temp1; defaults to -5V,
no control in driver so temp1 doesn't work.
782d and 783s datasheets differ on which is pwm1 and which is pwm2.
We chose to follow 782d.
782d and 783s pin is programmable for fan3 input or pwm2 output;
defaults to fan3 input.
If pwm2 is enabled (with echo 255 1 > pwm2), then
fan3 will report 0.
782d has pwm1-2 for ISA, pwm1-4 for i2c. (pwm3-4 share pins with
the ISA pins)

We are sorry that the calculation for R-T table value is
confidential. If you have another Beta value of thermistor, we can help
to calculate the R-T table for you. But you should give us real R-T
Table which can be gotten by thermistor vendor. Therefore we will calculate
them and obtain 32-byte data, and you can fill the 32-byte data to the
register in Bank0.CR51 of W83781D.

Asus Clones
-----------
We have no datasheets for the Asus clones (AS99127F and ASB100 Bach).
Here are some very useful information that were given to us by Alex Van
Kaam about how to detect these chips, and how to read their values. He
also gives advice for another Asus chipset, the Mozart-2 (which we
don't support yet). Thanks Alex!
I reworded some parts and added personal comments.
# Detection:
AS99127F rev.1, AS99127F rev.2 and ASB100:
- I2C address range: 0x29 - 0x2F
- If register 0x58 holds 0x31 then we have an Asus (either ASB100 or
AS99127F)
- Which one depends on register 0x4F (manufacturer ID):
0x06 or 0x94: ASB100
0x12 or 0xC3: AS99127F rev.1
0x5C or 0xA3: AS99127F rev.2
Note that 0x5CA3 is Winbond's ID (WEC), which let us think Asus get their
AS99127F rev.2 direct from Winbond. The other codes mean ATT and DVC,
respectively. ATT could stand for Asustek something (although it would be
very badly chosen IMHO), I don't know what DVC could stand for. Maybe
these codes simply aren't meant to be decoded that way.
Mozart-2:
- I2C address: 0x77
- If register 0x58 holds 0x56 or 0x10 then we have a Mozart-2
- Of the Mozart there are 3 types:
0x58=0x56, 0x4E=0x94, 0x4F=0x36: Asus ASM58 Mozart-2
0x58=0x56, 0x4E=0x94, 0x4F=0x06: Asus AS2K129R Mozart-2
0x58=0x10, 0x4E=0x5C, 0x4F=0xA3: Asus ??? Mozart-2
You can handle all 3 the exact same way :)
# Temperature sensors:
ASB100:
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2 & 3 are the 2 LM75's on the SMBus
- sensor 4: register 0x17
Remark: I noticed that on Intel boards sensor 2 is used for the CPU
and 4 is ignored/stuck, on AMD boards sensor 4 is the CPU and sensor 2 is
either ignored or a socket temperature.
AS99127F (rev.1 and 2 alike):
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2 & 3 are the 2 LM75's on the SMBus
Remark: Register 0x5b is suspected to be temperature type selector. Bit 1
would control temp1, bit 3 temp2 and bit 5 temp3.
Mozart-2:
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2: register 0x13
# Fan sensors:
ASB100, AS99127F (rev.1 and 2 alike):
- 3 fans, identical to the W83781D
Mozart-2:
- 2 fans only, 1350000/RPM/div
- fan 1: register 0x28, divisor on register 0xA1 (bits 4-5)
- fan 2: register 0x29, divisor on register 0xA1 (bits 6-7)
# Voltages:
This is where there is a difference between AS99127F rev.1 and 2.
Remark: The difference is similar to the difference between
W83781D and W83782D.
ASB100:
in0=r(0x20)*0.016
in1=r(0x21)*0.016
in2=r(0x22)*0.016
in3=r(0x23)*0.016*1.68

in5=(r(0x25)*0.016-3.6)*5.14+3.6
in6=(r(0x26)*0.016-3.6)*3.14+3.6
Mozart-2:

in3=r(0x23)*0.016*1.68

# PWM
Additional info about PWM on the AS99127F (may apply to other Asus
chips as well) by Jean Delvare as of 2004-04-09:
AS99127F revision 2 seems to have two PWM registers at 0x59 and 0x5A,
and a temperature sensor type selector at 0x5B (which basically means
that they swapped registers 0x59 and 0x5B when you compare with Winbond
chips).
Revision 1 of the chip also has the temperature sensor type selector at
0x5B, but PWM registers have no effect.
We don't know exactly how the temperature sensor type selection works.
Looks like bits 1-0 are for temp1, bits 3-2 for temp2 and bits 5-4 for
temp3, although it is possible that only the most significant bit matters
each time. So far, values other than 0 always broke the readings.
PWM registers seem to be split in two parts: bit 7 is a mode selector,
while the other bits seem to define a value or threshold.
When bit 7 is clear, bits 6-0 seem to hold a threshold value. If the value
is below a given limit, the fan runs at low speed. If the value is above
the limit, the fan runs at full speed. We have no clue as to what the limit
represents. Note that there seem to be some inertia in this mode, speed
changes may need some time to trigger. Also, an hysteresis mechanism is
suspected since walking through all the values increasingly and then
decreasingly led to slightly different limits.
When bit 7 is set, bits 3-0 seem to hold a threshold value, while bits 6-4
would not be significant. If the value is below a given limit, the fan runs
at full speed, while if it is above the limit it runs at low speed (so this
is the contrary of the other mode, in a way). Here again, we don't know
what the limit is supposed to represent.
One remarkable thing is that the fans would only have two or three
different speeds (transitional states left apart), not a whole range as
you usually get with PWM.
As a conclusion, you can write 0x00 or 0x8F to the PWM registers to make
fans run at low speed, and 0x7F or 0x80 to make them run at full speed.
Please contact us if you can figure out how it is supposed to work. As
long as we don't know more, the w83781d driver doesn't handle PWM on
AS99127F chips at all.
Additional info about PWM on the AS99127F rev.1 by Hector Martin:
I've been fiddling around with the (in)famous 0x59 register and
found out the following values do work as a form of coarse pwm:
0x80 - seems to turn fans off after some time(1-2 minutes)... might be
some form of auto-fan-control based on temp? hmm (Qfan? this mobo is an
old ASUS, it isn't marketed as Qfan. Maybe some beta pre-attemp at Qfan
that was dropped at the BIOS)
0x81 - off
0x82 - slightly "on-ner" than off, but my fans do not get to move. I can
hear the high-pitched PWM sound that motors give off at too-low-pwm.
0x83 - now they do move. Estimate about 70% speed or so.
0x84-0x8f - full on
Changing the high nibble doesn't seem to do much except the high bit
(0x80) must be set for PWM to work, else the current pwm doesn't seem to
change.
My mobo is an ASUS A7V266-E. This behavior is similar to what I got
with speedfan under Windows, where 0-15% would be off, 15-2x% (can't
remember the exact value) would be 70% and higher would be full on.

Kernel driver w83l785ts
=======================
Supported chips:
* Winbond W83L785TS-S
Prefix: 'w83l785ts'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2e
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Winbond USA website
http://www.winbond-usa.com/products/winbond_products/pdfs/PCIC/W83L785TS-S.pdf
Authors:
Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Description
-----------
The W83L785TS-S is a digital temperature sensor. It senses the
temperature of a single external diode. The high limit is
theoretically defined as 85 or 100 degrees C through a combination
of external resistors, so the user cannot change it. Values seen so
far suggest that the two possible limits are actually 95 and 110
degrees C. The datasheet is rather poor and obviously inaccurate
on several points including this one.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
is 1.0 degree. See the datasheet for details.
The w83l785ts driver will not update its values more frequently than
every other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will
return 'old' values.
Known Issues
------------
On some systems (Asus), the BIOS is known to interfere with the driver
and cause read errors. The driver will retry a given number of times
(5 by default) and then give up, returning the old value (or 0 if
there is no old value). It seems to work well enough so that you should
not notice anything. Thanks to James Bolt for helping test this feature.
