Description
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) / Microchip EMC14xx chips
|
||||||
|
contain up to four temperature sensors. EMC14x2 support two sensors
|
||||||
|
(one internal, one external). EMC14x3 support three sensors (one internal,
|
||||||
|
two external), and EMC14x4 support four sensors (one internal, three
|
||||||
|
external).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The chips implement three limits for each sensor: low (tempX_min), high
|
||||||
|
(tempX_max) and critical (tempX_crit.) The chips also implement an
|
||||||
|
hysteresis mechanism which applies to all limits. The relative difference
|
||||||
|
is stored in a single register on the chip, which means that the relative
|
||||||
|
difference between the limit and its hysteresis is always the same for
|
||||||
|
all three limits.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This implementation detail implies the following:
|
||||||
|
* When setting a limit, its hysteresis will automatically follow, the
|
||||||
|
difference staying unchanged. For example, if the old critical limit
|
||||||
|
was 80 degrees C, and the hysteresis was 75 degrees C, and you change
|
||||||
|
the critical limit to 90 degrees C, then the hysteresis will
|
||||||
|
automatically change to 85 degrees C.
|
||||||
|
* While hysteresis limits can be set for all critical limits, setting a single
|
||||||
|
hysteresis value affects the hysteresis values for all limits on all sensors.
|
||||||
|
* The limits should be set before the hysteresis.
