- Description
- -----------
- LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management
- Bus (SMBus) interface and TrueTherm technology that can very accurately monitor
- the temperature of four remote diodes as well as its own temperature.
- The four remote diodes can be external devices such as microprocessors,
- graphics processors or diode-connected 2N3904s. The LM95234's TruTherm
- beta compensation technology allows sensing of 90 nm or 65 nm process
- thermal diodes accurately.
- All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Temperature
- is provided within a range of -127 to +255 degrees (+127.875 degrees for
- the internal sensor). Resolution depends on temperature input and range.
- Each sensor has its own maximum limit, but the hysteresis is common to all
- channels. The hysteresis is configurable with the tem1_max_hyst attribute and
- affects the hysteresis on all channels. The first two external sensors also
- have a critical limit.
- The lm95234 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values.
- It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact
- values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return
- 'old' values.
