  43Interface
  44---------
  45The I2C addresses listed above assume BIOS has not changed the
  46chip MSB 5-bit address. Each chip reports a unique manufacturer
  47identification code as well as the chip revision/stepping level.

  49Description
  50-----------
  51[From ADM9240] The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
  52microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit comparison
  53of up to four power supplies and two processor core voltages, plus
  54temperature, two fan speeds and chassis intrusion. Measured values can
  55be read out via an I2C-compatible serial System Management Bus, and values
  56for limit comparisons can be programmed in over the same serial bus. The
  57high speed successive approximation ADC allows frequent sampling of all
  58analog channels to ensure a fast interrupt response to any out-of-limit
  59measurement.
  60
  61The ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are register compatible, the following
  62details are common to the three chips. Chip differences are described
  63after this section.

  65
  66Measurements
  67------------
  68The measurement cycle
  69
  70The adm9240 driver will take a measurement reading no faster than once
  71each two seconds. User-space may read sysfs interface faster than the
  72measurement update rate and will receive cached data from the most
  73recent measurement.
  74
  75ADM9240 has a very fast 320us temperature and voltage measurement cycle
  76with independent fan speed measurement cycles counting alternating rising
  77edges of the fan tacho inputs.
  78
  79DS1780 measurement cycle is about once per second including fan speed.
  80
  81LM81 measurement cycle is about once per 400ms including fan speed.
  82The LM81 12-bit extended temperature measurement mode is not supported.
  83
  84Temperature
  85-----------
  86On chip temperature is reported as degrees Celsius as 9-bit signed data
  87with resolution of 0.5 degrees Celsius. High and low temperature limits
  88are 8-bit signed data with resolution of one degree Celsius.
  89
  90Temperature alarm is asserted once the temperature exceeds the high limit,
  91and is cleared when the temperature falls below the temp1_max_hyst value.
  92
  93Fan Speed
  94---------
  95Two fan tacho inputs are provided, the ADM9240 gates an internal 22.5kHz
  96clock via a divider to an 8-bit counter. Fan speed (rpm) is calculated by:
  97
  98rpm = (22500 * 60) / (count * divider)
  99
 100Automatic fan clock divider
 101
 102  * User sets 0 to fan_min limit
 103
 104    - low speed alarm is disabled
 105    - fan clock divider not changed
 106    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled for valid fan speed reading
 107
 108  * User sets fan_min limit too low
 109
 110    - low speed alarm is enabled
 111    - fan clock divider set to max
 112    - fan_min set to register value 254 which corresponds
 113      to 664 rpm on adm9240
 114    - low speed alarm will be asserted if fan speed is
 115      less than minimum measurable speed
 116    - auto fan clock adjuster disabled
 117
 118  * User sets reasonable fan speed
 119
 120    - low speed alarm is enabled
 121    - fan clock divider set to suit fan_min
 122    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
 123
 124  * User sets unreasonably high low fan speed limit
 125
 126    - resolution of the low speed limit may be reduced
 127    - alarm will be asserted
 128    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
 129
 130  * fan speed may be displayed as zero until the auto fan clock divider
 131    adjuster brings fan speed clock divider back into chip measurement
 132    range, this will occur within a few measurement cycles.
 133
 134Analog Output
 135-------------
 136An analog output provides a 0 to 1.25 volt signal intended for an external
 137fan speed amplifier circuit. The analog output is set to maximum value on
 138power up or reset. This doesn't do much on the test Intel SE440BX-2.

 140Voltage Monitor
 141
 142^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 143
 144Voltage (IN) measurement is internally scaled:

 146    === =========== =========== ========= ==========
 147    nr  label       nominal     maximum   resolution
 148                      mV          mV         mV
 149    === =========== =========== ========= ==========

 156    === =========== =========== ========= ==========
 157
 158The reading is an unsigned 8-bit value, nominal voltage measurement is
 159represented by a reading of 192, being 3/4 of the measurement range.
 160
 161An alarm is asserted for any voltage going below or above the set limits.
 162
 163The driver reports and accepts voltage limits scaled to the above table.
 164
 165VID Monitor
 166-----------
 167The chip has five inputs to read the 5-bit VID and reports the mV value
 168based on detected CPU type.
 169
 170Chassis Intrusion
 171-----------------
 172An alarm is asserted when the CI pin goes active high. The ADM9240
 173Datasheet has an example of an external temperature sensor driving
 174this pin. On an Intel SE440BX-2 the Chassis Intrusion header is
 175connected to a normally open switch.
 176
 177The ADM9240 provides an internal open drain on this line, and may output
 178a 20 ms active low pulse to reset an external Chassis Intrusion latch.
 179
 180Clear the CI latch by writing value 0 to the sysfs intrusion0_alarm file.

 199Remaining bits are reserved and thus undefined. It is important to note
 200that alarm bits may be cleared on read, user-space may latch alarms and
 201provide the end-user with a method to clear alarm memory.
