64 The DS1621 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has
65 both high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.
66 programmed into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55
67 degree Celsius to +125 in 0.5 increments. You may convert this into a
68 Fahrenheit range of -67 to +257 degrees with 0.9 steps. If polarity
69 parameter is not provided, original value is used.
71 As for the thermostat, behavior can also be programmed using the polarity
72 toggle. On the one hand ("heater"), the thermostat output of the chip,
73 Tout, will trigger when the low limit temperature is met or underrun and
74 stays high until the high limit is met or exceeded. On the other hand
75 ("cooler"), vice versa. That way "heater" equals "active low", whereas
76 "conditioner" equals "active high". Please note that the DS1621 data sheet
77 is somewhat misleading in this point since setting the polarity bit does
78 not simply invert Tout.
80 A second thing is that, during extensive testing, Tout showed a tolerance
81 of up to +/- 0.5 degrees even when compared against precise temperature
82 readings. Be sure to have a high vs. low temperature limit gap of al least
83 1.0 degree Celsius to avoid Tout "bouncing", though!
85 The alarm bits are set when the high or low limits are met or exceeded and
86 are reset by the module as soon as the respective temperature ranges are
89 The alarm registers are in no way suitable to find out about the actual
90 status of Tout. They will only tell you about its history, whether or not
91 any of the limits have ever been met or exceeded since last power-up or
92 reset. Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change
93 with neither of the alarms set.
95 Since there is no version or vendor identification register, there is
96 no unique identification for these devices. Therefore, explicit device
97 instantiation is required for correct device identification and functionality
98 (one device per address in this address range: 0x48..0x4f).
100 The DS1625 is pin compatible and functionally equivalent with the DS1621,
101 but the DS1621 is meant to replace it. The DS1631, DS1721, and DS1731 are
102 also pin compatible with the DS1621 and provide multi-resolution support.
104 Additionally, the DS1721 data sheet says the temperature flags (THF and TLF)
105 are used internally, however, these flags do get set and cleared as the actual
106 temperature crosses the min or max settings (which by default are set to 75
107 and 80 degrees respectively).
109 Temperature Conversion
110 ----------------------
112 - DS1621 - 750ms (older devices may take up to 1000ms)
114 - DS1631 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.
115 - DS1721 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.
116 - DS1731 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.
119 On the DS1621, internal access to non-volatile registers may last for 10ms
120 or less (unverified on the other devices).
125 - DS1621: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
126 - DS1625: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
127 - DS1631: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
128 - DS1721: +/- 1.0 degree Celsius (from -10 to +85 degrees)
129 - DS1731: +/- 1.0 degree Celsius (from -10 to +85 degrees)
133 Please refer to the device datasheets for accuracy at other temperatures.
135 Temperature Resolution:
136 -----------------------
137 As mentioned above, the DS1631, DS1721, and DS1731 provide multi-resolution
138 support, which is achieved via the R0 and R1 config register bits, where:
143 == == ===============================
145 == == ===============================
146 0 0 9 bits, 0.5 degrees Celsius
147 1 0 10 bits, 0.25 degrees Celsius
148 0 1 11 bits, 0.125 degrees Celsius
149 1 1 12 bits, 0.0625 degrees Celsius
150 == == ===============================
154 At initial device power-on, the default resolution is set to 12-bits.
156 The resolution mode for the DS1631, DS1721, or DS1731 can be changed from
157 userspace, via the device 'update_interval' sysfs attribute. This attribute
158 will normalize the range of input values to the device maximum resolution
159 values defined in the datasheet as follows:
161 ============= ================== ===============
162 Resolution Conversion Time Input Range
163 (C/LSB) (msec) (msec)
164 ============= ================== ===============
168 0.0625 750 376..infinity
169 ============= ================== ===============
171 The following examples show how the 'update_interval' attribute can be
172 used to change the conversion time::
174 $ cat update_interval
179 $ echo 300 > update_interval
180 $ cat update_interval
185 $ echo 150 > update_interval
186 $ cat update_interval
191 $ echo 1 > update_interval
192 $ cat update_interval
197 $ echo 1000 > update_interval
198 $ cat update_interval
204 As shown, the ds1621 driver automatically adjusts the 'update_interval'
205 user input, via a step function. Reading back the 'update_interval' value
206 after a write operation provides the conversion time used by the device.
208 Mathematically, the resolution can be derived from the conversion time
209 via the following function:
211 g(x) = 0.5 * [minimum_conversion_time/x]
215 - 'x' = the output from 'update_interval'
216 - 'g(x)' = the resolution in degrees C per LSB.
217 - 93.75ms = minimum conversion time
