  45Description
  46-----------
  47
  48This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473, ADT7475,
  49ADT7476 and ADT7490 chip family. The ADT7473 and ADT7475 differ only in
  50minor details. The ADT7476 has additional features, including extra voltage
  51measurement inputs and VID support. The ADT7490 also has additional
  52features, including extra voltage measurement inputs and PECI support. All
  53the supported chips will be collectively designed by the name "ADT747x" in
  54the rest of this document.
  55
  56The ADT747x uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBus 2.0
  57specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
  58temperatures and two (2) or more voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters
  59for measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
  60to control fan speed.
  61
  62A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
  63ADT747x that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
  64three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
  65programmable. Once configured, the ADT747x will adjust the PWM outputs in
  66response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
  67This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
  68
  69Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
  70corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT747x will signal an ALARM if
  71any measured value exceeds either limit.
  72
  73The ADT747x samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
  74the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
  75configuration data is only read once per minute.

 112Special Features
 113----------------
 114
 115The ADT747x has a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
 116with a resolution of 0.25 degree Celsius. Temperature readings can be
 117configured either for two's complement format or "Offset 64" format,
 118wherein 64 is subtracted from the raw value to get the temperature value.
 119
 120The datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for determining
 121an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
 122
 123Fan Speed Control
 124-----------------
 125
 126The driver exposes two trip points per PWM channel.
 127
 128- point1: Set the PWM speed at the lower temperature bound
 129- point2: Set the PWM speed at the higher temperature bound
 130
 131The ADT747x will scale the PWM linearly between the lower and higher PWM
 132speed when the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.
 133Temperature boundaries are associated to temperature channels rather than
 134PWM outputs, and a given PWM output can be controlled by several temperature
 135channels. As a result, the ADT747x may compute more than one PWM value
 136for a channel at a given time, in which case the maximum value (fastest
 137fan speed) is applied. PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
 138
 139Fan speed may be set to maximum when the temperature sensor associated with
 140the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
 141
 142At Tmin - hysteresis the PWM output can either be off (0% duty cycle) or at the
 143minimum (i.e. auto_point1_pwm). This behaviour can be configured using the
 144`pwm[1-*]_stall_disable sysfs attribute`. A value of 0 means the fans will shut
 145off. A value of 1 means the fans will run at auto_point1_pwm.
 146
 147The responsiveness of the ADT747x to temperature changes can be configured.
 148This allows smoothing of the fan speed transition. To set the transition time
 149set the value in ms in the `temp[1-*]_smoothing` sysfs attribute.

 151Notes
 152-----
 153
 154The nVidia binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
 155Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
 156fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
