The chips can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of external devices such as microprocessors. All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Local temperature is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on temperature input and range. Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical limits. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked. Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote hysteresis. The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values. It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
