48 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM85 and
49 compatible chips including the Analog Devices ADM1027, ADT7463, ADT7468 and
50 SMSC EMC6D10x chips family.
52 The LM85 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
53 specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
54 temperatures and five (5) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
55 measuring fan speed. Five (5) digital inputs are provided for sampling the
56 VID signals from the processor to the VRM. Lastly, there are three (3) PWM
57 outputs that can be used to control fan speed.
59 The voltage inputs have internal scaling resistors so that the following
60 voltage can be measured without external resistors:
62 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and CPU core voltage (2.25V)
64 The temperatures measured are one internal diode, and two remote diodes.
65 Remote 1 is generally the CPU temperature. These inputs are designed to
66 measure a thermal diode like the one in a Pentium 4 processor in a socket
67 423 or socket 478 package. They can also measure temperature using a
68 transistor like the 2N3904.
70 A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
71 LM85 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
72 three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
73 programmable. Once configured, the LM85 will adjust the PWM outputs in
74 response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
75 This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
77 Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
78 corresponding high/low limit values. The LM85 will signal an ALARM if any
79 measured value exceeds either limit.
81 The LM85 samples all inputs continuously. The lm85 driver will not read
82 the registers more often than once a second. Further, configuration data is
83 only read once each 5 minutes. There is twice as much config data as
84 measurements, so this would seem to be a worthwhile optimization.
89 The LM85 has four fan speed monitoring modes. The ADM1027 has only two.
90 Both have special circuitry to compensate for PWM interactions with the
91 TACH signal from the fans. The ADM1027 can be configured to measure the
92 speed of a two wire fan, but the input conditioning circuitry is different
93 for 3-wire and 2-wire mode. For this reason, the 2-wire fan modes are not
94 exposed to user control. The BIOS should initialize them to the correct
95 mode. If you've designed your own ADM1027, you'll have to modify the
96 init_client function and add an insmod parameter to set this up.
98 To smooth the response of fans to changes in temperature, the LM85 has an
99 optional filter for smoothing temperatures. The ADM1027 has the same
100 config option but uses it to rate limit the changes to fan speed instead.
102 The ADM1027, ADT7463 and ADT7468 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore
103 measure temperatures with 0.25 degC resolution. They also provide an offset
104 to the temperature readings that is automatically applied during
105 measurement. This offset can be used to zero out any errors due to traces
106 and placement. The documentation says that the offset is in 0.25 degC
107 steps, but in initial testing of the ADM1027 it was 1.00 degC steps. Analog
108 Devices has confirmed this "bug". The ADT7463 is reported to work as
109 described in the documentation. The current lm85 driver does not show the
112 The ADT7468 has a high-frequency PWM mode, where all PWM outputs are
113 driven by a 22.5 kHz clock. This is a global mode, not per-PWM output,
114 which means that setting any PWM frequency above 11.3 kHz will switch
115 all 3 PWM outputs to a 22.5 kHz frequency. Conversely, setting any PWM
116 frequency below 11.3 kHz will switch all 3 PWM outputs to a frequency
117 between 10 and 100 Hz, which can then be tuned separately.
119 See the vendor datasheets for more information. There is application note
120 from National (AN-1260) with some additional information about the LM85.
121 The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
122 determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
124 The SMSC EMC6D100 & EMC6D101 monitor external voltages, temperatures, and
125 fan speeds. They use this monitoring capability to alert the system to out
126 of limit conditions and can automatically control the speeds of multiple
127 fans in a PC or embedded system. The EMC6D101, available in a 24-pin SSOP
128 package, and the EMC6D100, available in a 28-pin SSOP package, are designed
129 to be register compatible. The EMC6D100 offers all the features of the
130 EMC6D101 plus additional voltage monitoring and system control features.
131 Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish between the package
132 versions on register level so these additional voltage inputs may read
133 zero. EMC6D102 and EMC6D103 feature additional ADC bits thus extending precision
134 of voltage and temperature channels.
136 SMSC EMC6D103S is similar to EMC6D103, but does not support pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl
137 and temp#_auto_temp_off.
139 Hardware Configurations
140 -----------------------
142 The LM85 can be jumpered for 3 different SMBus addresses. There are
143 no other hardware configuration options for the LM85.
145 The lm85 driver detects both LM85B and LM85C revisions of the chip. See the
146 datasheet for a complete description of the differences. Other than
147 identifying the chip, the driver behaves no differently with regard to
148 these two chips. The LM85B is recommended for new designs.
150 The ADM1027, ADT7463 and ADT7468 chips have an optional SMBALERT output
151 that can be used to signal the chipset in case a limit is exceeded or the
152 temperature sensors fail. Individual sensor interrupts can be masked so
153 they won't trigger SMBALERT. The SMBALERT output if configured replaces one
154 of the other functions (PWM2 or IN0). This functionality is not implemented
157 The ADT7463 and ADT7468 also have an optional THERM output/input which can
158 be connected to the processor PROC_HOT output. If available, the autofan
159 control dynamic Tmin feature can be enabled to keep the system temperature
160 within spec (just?!) with the least possible fan noise.
165 Besides standard interfaces driver adds following:
167 * Temperatures and Zones
169 Each temperature sensor is associated with a Zone. There are three
170 sensors and therefore three zones (# 1, 2 and 3). Each zone has the following
171 temperature configuration points:
173 * temp#_auto_temp_off - temperature below which fans should be off or spinning very low.
174 * temp#_auto_temp_min - temperature over which fans start to spin.
175 * temp#_auto_temp_max - temperature when fans spin at full speed.
176 * temp#_auto_temp_crit - temperature when all fans will run full speed.
180 There are three PWM outputs. The LM85 datasheet suggests that the
181 pwm3 output control both fan3 and fan4. Each PWM can be individually
182 configured and assigned to a zone for its control value. Each PWM can be
183 configured individually according to the following options.
185 * pwm#_auto_pwm_min - this specifies the PWM value for temp#_auto_temp_off
186 temperature. (PWM value from 0 to 255)
188 * pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl - this flags selects for temp#_auto_temp_off temperature
189 the behaviour of fans. Write 1 to let fans spinning at
190 pwm#_auto_pwm_min or write 0 to let them off.
192 NOTE: It has been reported that there is a bug in the LM85 that causes the flag
193 to be associated with the zones not the PWMs. This contradicts all the
194 published documentation. Setting pwm#_min_ctl in this case actually affects all
195 PWMs controlled by zone '#'.
197 * PWM Controlling Zone selection
199 * pwm#_auto_channels - controls zone that is associated with PWM
201 Configuration choices:
204 ------ ------------------------------------------------
205 1 Controlled by Zone 1
206 2 Controlled by Zone 2
207 3 Controlled by Zone 3
208 23 Controlled by higher temp of Zone 2 or 3
209 123 Controlled by highest temp of Zone 1, 2 or 3
210 0 PWM always 0% (off)
211 -1 PWM always 100% (full on)
212 -2 Manual control (write to 'pwm#' to set)
214 The National LM85's have two vendor specific configuration
215 features. Tach. mode and Spinup Control. For more details on these,
216 see the LM85 datasheet or Application Note AN-1260. These features
217 are not currently supported by the lm85 driver.
219 The Analog Devices ADM1027 has several vendor specific enhancements.
220 The number of pulses-per-rev of the fans can be set, Tach monitoring
221 can be optimized for PWM operation, and an offset can be applied to
222 the temperatures to compensate for systemic errors in the
223 measurements. These features are not currently supported by the lm85
226 In addition to the ADM1027 features, the ADT7463 and ADT7468 also have
227 Tmin control and THERM asserted counts. Automatic Tmin control acts to
228 adjust the Tmin value to maintain the measured temperature sensor at a
229 specified temperature. There isn't much documentation on this feature in
230 the ADT7463 data sheet. This is not supported by current driver.
