30Interface
31---------
32The I2C addresses listed above assume BIOS has not changed the
33chip MSB 5-bit address. Each chip reports a unique manufacturer
34identification code as well as the chip revision/stepping level.

36Description
37-----------
38[From ADM9240] The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
39microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit comparison
40of up to four power supplies and two processor core voltages, plus
41temperature, two fan speeds and chassis intrusion. Measured values can
42be read out via an I2C-compatible serial System Management Bus, and values
43for limit comparisons can be programmed in over the same serial bus. The
44high speed successive approximation ADC allows frequent sampling of all
45analog channels to ensure a fast interrupt response to any out-of-limit
46measurement.
47
48The ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are register compatible, the following
49details are common to the three chips. Chip differences are described
50after this section.

52
53Measurements
54------------
55The measurement cycle
56
57The adm9240 driver will take a measurement reading no faster than once
58each two seconds. User-space may read sysfs interface faster than the
59measurement update rate and will receive cached data from the most
60recent measurement.
61
62ADM9240 has a very fast 320us temperature and voltage measurement cycle
63with independent fan speed measurement cycles counting alternating rising
64edges of the fan tacho inputs.
65
66DS1780 measurement cycle is about once per second including fan speed.
67
68LM81 measurement cycle is about once per 400ms including fan speed.
69The LM81 12-bit extended temperature measurement mode is not supported.
70
71Temperature
72-----------
73On chip temperature is reported as degrees Celsius as 9-bit signed data
74with resolution of 0.5 degrees Celsius. High and low temperature limits
75are 8-bit signed data with resolution of one degree Celsius.
76
77Temperature alarm is asserted once the temperature exceeds the high limit,
78and is cleared when the temperature falls below the temp1_max_hyst value.
79
80Fan Speed
81---------
82Two fan tacho inputs are provided, the ADM9240 gates an internal 22.5kHz
83clock via a divider to an 8-bit counter. Fan speed (rpm) is calculated by:
84
85rpm = (22500 * 60) / (count * divider)
86
87Automatic fan clock divider
88
89  * User sets 0 to fan_min limit
90    - low speed alarm is disabled
91    - fan clock divider not changed
92    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled for valid fan speed reading
93
94  * User sets fan_min limit too low
95    - low speed alarm is enabled
96    - fan clock divider set to max
97    - fan_min set to register value 254 which corresponds
98      to 664 rpm on adm9240
99    - low speed alarm will be asserted if fan speed is
100      less than minimum measurable speed
101    - auto fan clock adjuster disabled
102
103  * User sets reasonable fan speed
104    - low speed alarm is enabled
105    - fan clock divider set to suit fan_min
106    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
107
108  * User sets unreasonably high low fan speed limit
109    - resolution of the low speed limit may be reduced
110    - alarm will be asserted
111    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
112
113    * fan speed may be displayed as zero until the auto fan clock divider
114      adjuster brings fan speed clock divider back into chip measurement
115      range, this will occur within a few measurement cycles.
116
117Analog Output
118-------------
119An analog output provides a 0 to 1.25 volt signal intended for an external
120fan speed amplifier circuit. The analog output is set to maximum value on
121power up or reset. This doesn't do much on the test Intel SE440BX-2.
122
123Voltage Monitor
124
125Voltage (IN) measurement is internally scaled:
126
127    nr label nominal maximum resolution
128                      mV mV mV
129    0 +2.5V 2500 3320 13.0
130    1 Vccp1 2700 3600 14.1
131    2 +3.3V 3300 4380 17.2
132    3 +5V 5000 6640 26.0
133    4 +12V 12000 15940 62.5
134    5 Vccp2 2700 3600 14.1
135
136The reading is an unsigned 8-bit value, nominal voltage measurement is
137represented by a reading of 192, being 3/4 of the measurement range.
138
139An alarm is asserted for any voltage going below or above the set limits.
140
141The driver reports and accepts voltage limits scaled to the above table.
142
143VID Monitor
144-----------
145The chip has five inputs to read the 5-bit VID and reports the mV value
146based on detected CPU type.
147
148Chassis Intrusion
149-----------------
150An alarm is asserted when the CI pin goes active high. The ADM9240
151Datasheet has an example of an external temperature sensor driving
152this pin. On an Intel SE440BX-2 the Chassis Intrusion header is
153connected to a normally open switch.
154
155The ADM9240 provides an internal open drain on this line, and may output
156a 20 ms active low pulse to reset an external Chassis Intrusion latch.
157
158Clear the CI latch by writing value 0 to the sysfs intrusion0_alarm file.
159
160Alarm flags reported as 16-bit word
161
162    bit label comment
163    --- ------------- --------------------------
164     0 +2.5 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
165     1 VCCP_Error high or low limit exceeded
166     2 +3.3 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
167     3 +5 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
168     4 Temp_Error temperature error
169     6 FAN1_Error fan low limit exceeded
170     7 FAN2_Error fan low limit exceeded
171     8 +12 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
172     9 VCCP2_Error high or low limit exceeded
173    12 Chassis_Error CI pin went high
174
175Remaining bits are reserved and thus undefined. It is important to note
176that alarm bits may be cleared on read, user-space may latch alarms and
177provide the end-user with a method to clear alarm memory.
