| 19 | Description | |
| 20 | ----------- | |
| 21 | ||
| 9c084dae | 22 | This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX6650 and MAX6651. |
| d20620de | 23 | |
| 9c084dae JD |
24 | The 2 devices are very similar, but the MAX6550 has a reduced feature |
| 25 | set, e.g. only one fan-input, instead of 4 for the MAX6651. | |
| d20620de HJK |
26 | |
| 27 | The driver is not able to distinguish between the 2 devices. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs: | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | fan1_input ro fan tachometer speed in RPM | |
| 32 | fan2_input ro " | |
| 33 | fan3_input ro " | |
| 34 | fan4_input ro " | |
| 35 | fan1_target rw desired fan speed in RPM (closed loop mode only) | |
| 36 | pwm1_enable rw regulator mode, 0=full on, 1=open loop, 2=closed loop | |
| 37 | pwm1 rw relative speed (0-255), 255=max. speed. | |
| 38 | Used in open loop mode only. | |
| 39 | fan1_div rw sets the speed range the inputs can handle. Legal | |
| 40 | values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Use lower values for | |
| 41 | faster fans. | |

43 | Usage notes |
| 44 | ----------- | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the | |
| 47 | devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for | |
| 48 | details. | |

50 | Module parameters |
| 51 | ----------------- | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | If your board has a BIOS that initializes the MAX6650/6651 correctly, you can | |
| 54 | simply load your module without parameters. It won't touch the configuration | |
| 55 | registers then. If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want | |
| 56 | different settings, you can set the following parameters: | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | voltage_12V: 5=5V fan, 12=12V fan, 0=don't change | |
| 59 | prescaler: Possible values are 1,2,4,8,16, or 0 for don't change | |
| 60 | clock: The clock frequency in Hz of the chip the driver should assume [254000] | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Please have a look at the MAX6650/6651 data sheet and make sure that you fully | |
| 63 | understand the meaning of these parameters before you attempt to change them. | |
