+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7411 chip. There may
+be other chips that implement this interface.
+
+The ADT7411 can use an I2C/SMBus compatible 2-wire interface or an
+SPI-compatible 4-wire interface. It provides a 10-bit analog to digital
+converter which measures 1 temperature, vdd and 8 input voltages. It has an
+internal temperature sensor, but an external one can also be connected (one
+loses 2 inputs then). There are high- and low-limit registers for all inputs.
+
+Check the datasheet for details.
+
+sysfs-Interface
+---------------
+
+in0_input - vdd voltage input
+in[1-8]_input - analog 1-8 input
+temp1_input - temperature input
+
+Besides standard interfaces, this driver adds (0 = off, 1 = on):
+
+ adc_ref_vdd - Use vdd as reference instead of 2.25 V
+ fast_sampling - Sample at 22.5 kHz instead of 1.4 kHz, but drop filters
+ no_average - Turn off averaging over 16 samples
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+SPI, external temperature sensor and limit registers are not supported yet.

-Kernel driver adt7473
-======================
-
-Supported chips:
- * Analog Devices ADT7473
- Prefix: 'adt7473'
- Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2C, 0x2D, 0x2E
- Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
-
-Author: Darrick J. Wong
-
-This driver is depreacted, please use the adt7475 driver instead.
-
-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
-
-The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
-specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
-temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
-measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
-to control fan speed.
-
-A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
-ADT7473 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 ADT7473 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 ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
-any measured value exceeds either limit.
-
-The ADT7473 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 ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
-with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
-for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
-from the raw value to get the temperature value.
-
-The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
-determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
-
-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 ADT7473 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.
-
-Notes
------
-
-The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
-Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
-fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.

+Kernel driver asc7621
+==================
+
+Supported chips:
+ Andigilog aSC7621 and aSC7621a
+ Prefix: 'asc7621'
+ Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c, 0x2d, 0x2e
+ Datasheet: http://www.fairview5.com/linux/asc7621/asc7621.pdf
+
+Author:
+ George Joseph
+
+Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog:
+
+Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as
+Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has
+added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the
+Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in
+volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs.
+
+We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel
+specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We
+have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition
+to those in the Intel-specified vendor range.
+
+Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes.
+The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan
+PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a
+high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the
+next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low
+byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data
+sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits
+are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We
+chose not to mask them.
+
+We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the
+data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth
+when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution
+temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user
+intervention.
+
+We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain
+outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm
+outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah.
+
+We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any
+temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment
+that follows Intel's specs.
+
+Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of
+a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no
+indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone
+is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register
+00h.
+
+Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such
+that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine
+PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes.
+
+PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per
+PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI
+address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone
+assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default
+Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with
+individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control.
+This is in register 0Eh.
+
+The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many
+fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans
+may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h.
+
+Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach
+measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is
+in register 75h.

+aSC7621 Product Description
+
+The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0.
+Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode
+connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform
+Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included.
+
+Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed
+control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving
+recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
+
+To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation
+(PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three,
+temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported.
+
+The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
+temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
+impact.
+
+The aSC7621 has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four fans.
+Limit and status registers for all measured values are included to alert
+the system host that any measurements are outside of programmed limits
+via status registers.
+
+System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are
+monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors.

+Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
+which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
+chips up to revision G.
+
+This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
+The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
+at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
+freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
+Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
+prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
+
+The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
+temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
+between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
+the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
+than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
+doesn't use CPU cycles.
+
+Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
+control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
+actually switching to automatic control mode.
