								The LM95245 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Management Bus (SMBus) interface and TruTherm technology that can monitor
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								the temperature of a remote diode as well as its own temperature.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								The LM95245 can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								external devices such as microprocessors.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Local temperature
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								temperature input and range.

								Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								hysteresis value common to both critical limits. To make life easier to
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								user-space applications, two absolute values are exported, one for each
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								channel, but these values are of course linked. Only the local hysteresis
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								hysteresis.

								The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								'old' values.
