43Description
44-----------
45
46The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
47Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
48set and read to half-degree accuracy.
49An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
50gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
51the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
52All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
53range of -55 to +125 degrees.
54
55The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
56will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
57
58The LM75 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
59the temperature of the processor(s).
60
61The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well.
62They are not distinguished from an LM75. While most of these chips
63have three additional bits of accuracy (12 vs. 9 for the LM75),
64the additional bits are not supported. Not only that, but these chips will
65not be detected if not in 9-bit precision mode (use the force parameter if
66needed).
67
68The TCN75 is supported as well, and is not distinguished from an LM75.
69
70The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
71LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
72that are supported.
73
74The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
75Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
