58Description
59-----------
60
61This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
62SMSC DME1737 and Asus A8000 (which are the same), SMSC SCH5027, SCH311x,
63and SCH5127 Super-I/O chips. These chips feature monitoring of 3 temp sensors
64temp[1-3] (2 remote diodes and 1 internal), 8 voltages in[0-7] (7 external and
651 internal) and up to 6 fan speeds fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chips implement
66up to 5 PWM outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for controlling fan speeds both manually and
67automatically.
68
69For the DME1737, A8000 and SCH5027, fan[1-2] and pwm[1-2] are always present.
70Fan[3-6] and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability depends on
71the configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which features are
72present during initialization and create the sysfs attributes accordingly.
73
74For the SCH311x and SCH5127, fan[1-3] and pwm[1-3] are always present and
75fan[4-6] and pwm[5-6] don't exist.
76
77The hardware monitoring features of the DME1737, A8000, and SCH5027 are only
78accessible via SMBus, while the SCH311x and SCH5127 only provide access via
79the ISA bus. The driver will therefore register itself as an I2C client driver
80if it detects a DME1737, A8000, or SCH5027 and as a platform driver if it
81detects a SCH311x or SCH5127 chip.
82
83
84Voltage Monitoring
85------------------
86
87The voltage inputs are sampled with 12-bit resolution and have internal
88scaling resistors. The values returned by the driver therefore reflect true
89millivolts and don't need scaling. The voltage inputs are mapped as follows
90(the last column indicates the input ranges):
91

132
133Each voltage input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
134when crossed.
135
136
137Temperature Monitoring
138----------------------
139
140Temperatures are measured with 12-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
141Celsius. The chip also features offsets for all 3 temperature inputs which -
142when programmed - get added to the input readings. The chip does all the
143scaling by itself and the driver therefore reports true temperatures that don't
144need any user-space adjustments. The temperature inputs are mapped as follows
145(the last column indicates the input ranges)::
146
147	temp1: Remote diode 1 (3904 type) temperature	-127C - +127C
148	temp2: DME1737 internal temperature		-127C - +127C
149	temp3: Remote diode 2 (3904 type) temperature	-127C - +127C
150
151Each temperature input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
152when crossed. Additionally, each temperature input has a fault attribute that
153returns 1 when a faulty diode or an unconnected input is detected and 0
154otherwise.
155
156
157Fan Monitoring
158--------------
159
160Fan RPMs are measured with 16-bit resolution. The chip provides inputs for 6
161fan tachometers. All 6 inputs have an associated min limit which triggers an
162alarm when crossed. Fan inputs 1-4 provide type attributes that need to be set
163to the number of pulses per fan revolution that the connected tachometer
164generates. Supported values are 1, 2, and 4. Fan inputs 5-6 only support fans
165that generate 2 pulses per revolution. Fan inputs 5-6 also provide a max
166attribute that needs to be set to the maximum attainable RPM (fan at 100% duty-
167cycle) of the input. The chip adjusts the sampling rate based on this value.
168
169
170PWM Output Control
171------------------
172
173This chip features 5 PWM outputs. PWM outputs 1-3 are associated with fan
174inputs 1-3 and PWM outputs 5-6 are associated with fan inputs 5-6. PWM outputs
1751-3 can be configured to operate either in manual or automatic mode by setting
176the appropriate enable attribute accordingly. PWM outputs 5-6 can only operate
177in manual mode, their enable attributes are therefore read-only. When set to
178manual mode, the fan speed is set by writing the duty-cycle value to the
179appropriate PWM attribute. In automatic mode, the PWM attribute returns the
180current duty-cycle as set by the fan controller in the chip. All PWM outputs
181support the setting of the output frequency via the freq attribute.
182
183In automatic mode, the chip supports the setting of the PWM ramp rate which
184defines how fast the PWM output is adjusting to changes of the associated
185temperature input. Associating PWM outputs to temperature inputs is done via
186temperature zones. The chip features 3 zones whose assignments to temperature
187inputs is static and determined during initialization. These assignments can
188be retrieved via the zone[1-3]_auto_channels_temp attributes. Each PWM output
189is assigned to one (or hottest of multiple) temperature zone(s) through the
190pwm[1-3]_auto_channels_zone attributes. Each PWM output has 3 distinct output
191duty-cycles: full, low, and min. Full is internally hard-wired to 255 (100%)
192and low and min can be programmed via pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm and
193pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min, respectively. The thermal thresholds of the zones are
194programmed via zone[1-3]_auto_point[1-3]_temp and
195zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst:
196
197	=============================== =======================================
198	pwm[1-3]_auto_point2_pwm	full-speed duty-cycle (255, i.e., 100%)
199	pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm	low-speed duty-cycle
200	pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min		min-speed duty-cycle
201
202	zone[1-3]_auto_point3_temp	full-speed temp (all outputs)
203	zone[1-3]_auto_point2_temp	full-speed temp
204	zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp	low-speed temp
205	zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst	min-speed temp
206	=============================== =======================================
207
208The chip adjusts the output duty-cycle linearly in the range of auto_point1_pwm
209to auto_point2_pwm if the temperature of the associated zone is between
210auto_point1_temp and auto_point2_temp. If the temperature drops below the
211auto_point1_temp_hyst value, the output duty-cycle is set to the auto_pwm_min
212value which only supports two values: 0 or auto_point1_pwm. That means that the
213fan either turns completely off or keeps spinning with the low-speed
214duty-cycle. If any of the temperatures rise above the auto_point3_temp value,
215all PWM outputs are set to 100% duty-cycle.
216
217Following is another representation of how the chip sets the output duty-cycle
218based on the temperature of the associated thermal zone:
219
220	=============== =============== =================
221	Temperature	Duty-Cycle	Duty-Cycle
222			Rising Temp	Falling Temp
223	=============== =============== =================
224	full-speed	full-speed	full-speed

226	-		< linearly	-
227			adjusted

231	-		min-speed	low-speed
232	min-speed	min-speed	min-speed
233	-		min-speed	min-speed
