Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
|
||||
specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
|
||||
temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
|
||||
measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
|
||||
to control fan speed.
|
||||
|
||||
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
|
||||
ADT7473 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
|
||||
three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
|
||||
programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in
|
||||
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
|
||||
This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
|
||||
corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
|
||||
any measured value exceeds either limit.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
|
||||
the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
|
||||
configuration data is only read once per minute.
|
||||
|
||||
Special Features
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
|
||||
with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
|
||||
for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
|
||||
from the raw value to get the temperature value.
|
||||
|
||||
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
|
||||
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration Notes
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* PWM Control
|
||||
|
||||
* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
|
||||
* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
|
||||
|
||||
point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
|
||||
point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
|
||||
the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range
|
||||
from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
|
||||
temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
|
||||
Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
|
||||
fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
