|  | Description | ||
|  | ----------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. 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. |
