33 | Description | |
34 | ----------- | |
35 | ||
36 | The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips | |
37 | contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans. | |
38 | ||

39 | The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware |
40 | monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The | |
41 | hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the | |
42 | smsc47m192 driver for that. | |

44 | No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device |
45 | ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible. | |

47 | Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is |
48 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan | |
49 | readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give | |
50 | the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be | |
51 | represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest | |
52 | representable value is around 2600 RPM. | |
53 | ||
54 | PWM values are from 0 to 255. | |
55 | ||
56 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register | |
57 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may | |
58 | already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all | |
59 | hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less | |
60 | than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily | |
61 | miss once-only alarms. | |
