14Description
15-----------
16
17This driver implements support for the Sensirion SHT3x-DIS chip, a humidity
18and temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius, relative
19humidity is expressed as a percentage. In the sysfs interface, all values are
20scaled by 1000, i.e. the value for 31.5 degrees celsius is 31500.
21
22The device communicates with the I2C protocol. Sensors can have the I2C
23addresses 0x44 or 0x45, depending on the wiring. See
24Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for methods to instantiate the device.
25
26There are two options configurable by means of sht3x_platform_data:
271. blocking (pull the I2C clock line down while performing the measurement) or
28 non-blocking mode. Blocking mode will guarantee the fastest result but
29 the I2C bus will be busy during that time. By default, non-blocking mode
30 is used. Make sure clock-stretching works properly on your device if you
31 want to use blocking mode.
322. high or low accuracy. High accuracy is used by default and using it is
33 strongly recommended.
34
35The sht3x sensor supports a single shot mode as well as 5 periodic measure
36modes, which can be controlled with the update_interval sysfs interface.
37The allowed update_interval in milliseconds are as follows:
38 * 0 single shot mode
39 * 2000 0.5 Hz periodic measurement
40 * 1000 1 Hz periodic measurement
41 * 500 2 Hz periodic measurement
42 * 250 4 Hz periodic measurement
43 * 100 10 Hz periodic measurement
44
45In the periodic measure mode, the sensor automatically triggers a measurement
46with the configured update interval on the chip. When a temperature or humidity
47reading exceeds the configured limits, the alert attribute is set to 1 and
48the alert pin on the sensor is set to high.
49When the temperature and humidity readings move back between the hysteresis
50values, the alert bit is set to 0 and the alert pin on the sensor is set to
51low.
