Limits can be set through the -Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be -set and read to half-degree accuracy. -An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature -gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until -the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. -All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a -range of -55 to +125 degrees. - -The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often -will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. - -The LM75 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure -the temperature of the processor(s). - -The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well. -They are not distinguished from an LM75. While most of these chips -have three additional bits of accuracy (12 vs. 9 for the LM75), -the additional bits are not supported. Not only that, but these chips will -not be detected if not in 9-bit precision mode (use the force parameter if -needed). - -The TCN75 is supported as well, and is not distinguished from an LM75. - -The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other -LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements, -that are supported. - -The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time. -Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs. |
