Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
|
|
temperature sensor.
|
|
|
|
The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
|
|
It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
|
|
SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
|
|
|
|
Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
|
|
the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
|
|
comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
|
|
complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
|
|
driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
|
|
SPI support.
|
|
|
|
As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing
|
|
with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
|
|
and its associated documentation.
|
|
|
|
The LM74 and TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main difference is 13-bit
|
|
temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius resolution).
|
|
|
|
The LM71 is also very similar; main difference is 14-bit temperature
|
|
data (0.03125 degrees celsius resolution).
