Wong + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7462 chip family. + +This chip is a bit of a beast. It has 8 counters for measuring fan speed. It +can also measure 13 voltages or 4 temperatures, or various combinations of the +two. See the chip documentation for more details about the exact set of +configurations. This driver does not allow one to configure the chip; that is +left to the system designer. + +A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the ADT7462 +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 ADT7462 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 ADT7462 will signal an ALARM if +any measured value exceeds either limit. + +The ADT7462 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read +the registers more often than once every other second. Further, +configuration data is only read once per minute. + +Special Features +---------------- + +The ADT7462 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures +with 0.25 degC resolution. + +The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for +determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control. + +The driver will report sensor labels when it is able to determine that +information from the configuration registers. + +Configuration Notes +------------------- + +Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following: + +* PWM Control + +* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and +* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp - + +point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound. +point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound. + +The ADT7462 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when +the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range +from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the +temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max. + |
