Remote temperature sensors are diode-connected +thermal transitors, except for MAX6698 which supports three diode-connected +thermal transistors plus three thermistors in addition to the local temperature +sensor. + +The driver provides the following sysfs attributes. temp1 is the local (chip) +temperature, temp[2..n] are remote temperatures. The actually supported +per-channel attributes are chip type and channel dependent. + +tempX_input RO temperature +tempX_max RW temperature maximum threshold +tempX_max_alarm RO temperature maximum threshold alarm +tempX_crit RW temperature critical threshold +tempX_crit_alarm RO temperature critical threshold alarm +tempX_fault RO temperature diode fault (remote sensors only) |
