1 Kernel driver ntc_thermistor
2 ============================
4 Supported thermistors from Murata:
6 * Murata NTC Thermistors NCP15WB473, NCP18WB473, NCP21WB473, NCP03WB473,
7 NCP15WL333, NCP03WF104, NCP15XH103
9 Prefixes: 'ncp15wb473', 'ncp18wb473', 'ncp21wb473', 'ncp03wb473',
10 'ncp15wl333', 'ncp03wf104', 'ncp15xh103'
12 Datasheet: Publicly available at Murata
14 Supported thermistors from EPCOS:
16 * EPCOS NTC Thermistors B57330V2103
20 Datasheet: Publicly available at EPCOS
22 Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
23 tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

32 The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a simple thermistor
33 that requires users to provide the resistance and lookup the corresponding
34 compensation table to get the temperature input.
36 The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
37 and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
39 Using the following convention::
44 The four circuit models provided are:
46 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0::
52 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
58 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)::
64 +----------------------------[read_uV]
70 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0::
76 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
82 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)::
88 +----------------------------[read_uV]
94 When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
95 pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
96 are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
97 provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
102 =============== == =============================================================
103 name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name.

105 temp1_type RO always 4 (thermistor)
107 temp1_input RO measure the temperature and provide the measured value.

111 Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists.
