35	Description
36	-----------
37	
38	This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
39	SMSC DME1737 and Asus A8000 (which are the same), SMSC SCH5027, and SMSC
40	SCH311x Super-I/O chips. These chips feature monitoring of 3 temp sensors
41	temp[1-3] (2 remote diodes and 1 internal), 7 voltages in[0-6] (6 external and
42	1 internal) and up to 6 fan speeds fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chips implement
43	up to 5 PWM outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for controlling fan speeds both manually and
44	automatically.
45	
46	For the DME1737, A8000 and SCH5027, fan[1-2] and pwm[1-2] are always present.
47	Fan[3-6] and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability depends on
48	the configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which features are
49	present during initialization and create the sysfs attributes accordingly.
50	
51	For the SCH311x, fan[1-3] and pwm[1-3] are always present and fan[4-6] and
52	pwm[5-6] don't exist.
53	
54	The hardware monitoring features of the DME1737, A8000, and SCH5027 are only
55	accessible via SMBus, while the SCH311x only provides access via the ISA bus.
56	The driver will therefore register itself as an I2C client driver if it detects
57	a DME1737, A8000, or SCH5027 and as a platform driver if it detects a SCH311x
58	chip.
59

61	Voltage Monitoring
62	------------------
63	
64	The voltage inputs are sampled with 12-bit resolution and have internal
65	scaling resistors. The values returned by the driver therefore reflect true
66	millivolts and don't need scaling. The voltage inputs are mapped as follows
67	(the last column indicates the input ranges):
68	
69	DME1737, A8000:
70		in0: +5VTR	(+5V standby)		0V - 6.64V
71		in1: Vccp	(processor core)	0V - 3V
72		in2: VCC	(internal +3.3V)	0V - 4.38V
73		in3: +5V				0V - 6.64V
74		in4: +12V				0V - 16V
75		in5: VTR	(+3.3V standby)		0V - 4.38V
76		in6: Vbat	(+3.0V)			0V - 4.38V
77	
78	SCH311x:
79		in0: +2.5V				0V - 6.64V
80		in1: Vccp	(processor core)	0V - 2V
81		in2: VCC	(internal +3.3V)	0V - 4.38V
82		in3: +5V				0V - 6.64V
83		in4: +12V				0V - 16V
84		in5: VTR	(+3.3V standby)		0V - 4.38V
85		in6: Vbat	(+3.0V)			0V - 4.38V
86	
87	SCH5027:
88		in0: +5VTR	(+5V standby)		0V - 6.64V
89		in1: Vccp	(processor core)	0V - 3V
90		in2: VCC	(internal +3.3V)	0V - 4.38V
91		in3: V2_IN				0V - 1.5V
92		in4: V1_IN				0V - 1.5V
93		in5: VTR	(+3.3V standby)		0V - 4.38V
94		in6: Vbat	(+3.0V)			0V - 4.38V
95	
96	Each voltage input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
97	when crossed.
98	
99	
100	Temperature Monitoring
101	----------------------
102	
103	Temperatures are measured with 12-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
104	Celsius. The chip also features offsets for all 3 temperature inputs which -
105	when programmed - get added to the input readings. The chip does all the
106	scaling by itself and the driver therefore reports true temperatures that don't
107	need any user-space adjustments. The temperature inputs are mapped as follows
108	(the last column indicates the input ranges):
109	
110		temp1: Remote diode 1 (3904 type) temperature	-127C - +127C
111		temp2: DME1737 internal temperature		-127C - +127C
112		temp3: Remote diode 2 (3904 type) temperature	-127C - +127C
113	
114	Each temperature input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
115	when crossed. Additionally, each temperature input has a fault attribute that
116	returns 1 when a faulty diode or an unconnected input is detected and 0
117	otherwise.
118	
119	
120	Fan Monitoring
121	--------------
122	
123	Fan RPMs are measured with 16-bit resolution. The chip provides inputs for 6
124	fan tachometers. All 6 inputs have an associated min limit which triggers an
125	alarm when crossed. Fan inputs 1-4 provide type attributes that need to be set
126	to the number of pulses per fan revolution that the connected tachometer
127	generates. Supported values are 1, 2, and 4. Fan inputs 5-6 only support fans
128	that generate 2 pulses per revolution. Fan inputs 5-6 also provide a max
129	attribute that needs to be set to the maximum attainable RPM (fan at 100% duty-
130	cycle) of the input. The chip adjusts the sampling rate based on this value.
131	
132	
133	PWM Output Control
134	------------------
135	
136	This chip features 5 PWM outputs. PWM outputs 1-3 are associated with fan
137	inputs 1-3 and PWM outputs 5-6 are associated with fan inputs 5-6. PWM outputs
138	1-3 can be configured to operate either in manual or automatic mode by setting
139	the appropriate enable attribute accordingly. PWM outputs 5-6 can only operate
140	in manual mode, their enable attributes are therefore read-only. When set to
141	manual mode, the fan speed is set by writing the duty-cycle value to the
142	appropriate PWM attribute. In automatic mode, the PWM attribute returns the
143	current duty-cycle as set by the fan controller in the chip. All PWM outputs
144	support the setting of the output frequency via the freq attribute.
145	
146	In automatic mode, the chip supports the setting of the PWM ramp rate which
147	defines how fast the PWM output is adjusting to changes of the associated
148	temperature input. Associating PWM outputs to temperature inputs is done via
149	temperature zones. The chip features 3 zones whose assignments to temperature
150	inputs is static and determined during initialization. These assignments can
151	be retrieved via the zone[1-3]_auto_channels_temp attributes. Each PWM output
152	is assigned to one (or hottest of multiple) temperature zone(s) through the
153	pwm[1-3]_auto_channels_zone attributes. Each PWM output has 3 distinct output
154	duty-cycles: full, low, and min. Full is internally hard-wired to 255 (100%)
155	and low and min can be programmed via pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm and
156	pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min, respectively. The thermal thresholds of the zones are
157	programmed via zone[1-3]_auto_point[1-3]_temp and
158	zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst:
159	
160		pwm[1-3]_auto_point2_pwm	full-speed duty-cycle (255, i.e., 100%)
161		pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm	low-speed duty-cycle
162		pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min		min-speed duty-cycle
163	
164		zone[1-3]_auto_point3_temp	full-speed temp (all outputs)
165		zone[1-3]_auto_point2_temp	full-speed temp
166		zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp	low-speed temp
167		zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst	min-speed temp
168	
169	The chip adjusts the output duty-cycle linearly in the range of auto_point1_pwm
170	to auto_point2_pwm if the temperature of the associated zone is between
171	auto_point1_temp and auto_point2_temp. If the temperature drops below the
172	auto_point1_temp_hyst value, the output duty-cycle is set to the auto_pwm_min
173	value which only supports two values: 0 or auto_point1_pwm. That means that the
174	fan either turns completely off or keeps spinning with the low-speed
175	duty-cycle. If any of the temperatures rise above the auto_point3_temp value,
176	all PWM outputs are set to 100% duty-cycle.
177	
178	Following is another representation of how the chip sets the output duty-cycle
179	based on the temperature of the associated thermal zone:
180	
181				Duty-Cycle	Duty-Cycle
182		Temperature	Rising Temp	Falling Temp
183		-----------	-----------	------------
184		full-speed	full-speed	full-speed
185	
186				< linearly adjusted duty-cycle >
187	
188		low-speed	low-speed	low-speed
189				min-speed	low-speed
190		min-speed	min-speed	min-speed
191				min-speed	min-speed
192	
193
