| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The chips supported by this driver are quite similar. The only difference |
| between them is found in the default power-on behaviour of the chips. While the |
| MAX31827's fault queue is set to 1, the other two chip's fault queue is set to |
| 4. Besides this, the MAX31829's alarm active state is high, while the other two |
| chip's alarms are active on low. It is important to note that the chips can be |
| configured to operate in the same manner with 1 write operation to the |
| configuration register. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as |
| MAX31827. |
| |
| MAX31827 implements a temperature sensor with a 6 WLP packaging scheme. This |
| sensor measures the temperature of the chip itself. |
| |
| MAX31827 has low and over temperature alarms with an effective value and a |
| hysteresis value: -40 and -30 degrees for under temperature alarm and +100 and |
| +90 degrees for over temperature alarm. |
| |
| The alarm can be configured in comparator and interrupt mode from the |
| devicetree. In Comparator mode, the OT/UT status bits have a value of 1 when the |
| temperature rises above the TH value or falls below TL, which is also subject to |
| the Fault Queue selection. OT status returns to 0 when the temperature drops |
| below the TH_HYST value or when shutdown mode is entered. Similarly, UT status |
| returns to 0 when the temperature rises above TL_HYST value or when shutdown |
| mode is entered. |
| |
| In interrupt mode exceeding TH also sets OT status to 1, which remains set until |
| a read operation is performed on the configuration/status register (max or min |
| attribute); at this point, it returns to 0. Once OT status is set to 1 from |
| exceeding TH and reset, it is set to 1 again only when the temperature drops |
| below TH_HYST. The output remains asserted until it is reset by a read. It is |
| set again if the temperature rises above TH, and so on. The same logic applies |
| to the operation of the UT status bit. |
| |
| Putting the MAX31827 into shutdown mode also resets the OT/UT status bits. Note |
| that if the mode is changed while OT/UT status bits are set, an OT/UT status |
| reset may be required before it begins to behave normally. To prevent this, |
| it is recommended to perform a read of the configuration/status register to |
| clear the status bits before changing the operating mode. |
| |
| The conversions can be manual with the one-shot functionality and automatic with |
| a set frequency. When powered on, the chip measures temperatures with 1 conv/s. |
| The conversion rate can be modified with update_interval attribute of the chip. |
| Conversion/second = 1/update_interval. Thus, the available options according to |
| the data sheet are: |
| |
| - 64000 (ms) = 1 conv/64 sec |
| - 32000 (ms) = 1 conv/32 sec |
| - 16000 (ms) = 1 conv/16 sec |
| - 4000 (ms) = 1 conv/4 sec |
| - 1000 (ms) = 1 conv/sec (default) |
| - 250 (ms) = 4 conv/sec |
| - 125 (ms) = 8 conv/sec |
| |
| Enabling the device when it is already enabled has the side effect of setting |
| the conversion frequency to 1 conv/s. The conversion time varies depending on |
| the resolution. |
| |
| The conversion time doubles with every bit of increased resolution. The |
| available resolutions are: |
| |
| - 8 bit -> 8.75 ms conversion time |
| - 9 bit -> 17.5 ms conversion time |
| - 10 bit -> 35 ms conversion time |
| - 12 bit (default) -> 140 ms conversion time |
| |
| There is a temp1_resolution attribute which indicates the unit change in the |
| input temperature in milli-degrees C. |
| |
| - 1000 mC -> 8 bit |
| - 500 mC -> 9 bit |
| - 250 mC -> 10 bit |
| - 62 mC -> 12 bit (default) - actually this is 62.5, but the fil returns 62 |
| |
| When chip is in shutdown mode and a read operation is requested, one-shot is |
| triggered, the device waits for <conversion time> ms, and only after that is |
| the temperature value register read. Note that the conversion times are rounded |
| up to the nearest possible integer. |
| |
| The LSB of the temperature values is 0.0625 degrees Celsius, but the values of |
| the temperatures are displayed in milli-degrees. This means, that some data is |
| lost. The step between 2 consecutive values is 62 or 63. This effect can be seen |
| in the writing of alarm values too. For positive numbers the user-input value |
| will always be rounded down to the nearest possible value, for negative numbers |
| the user-input will always be rounded up to the nearest possible value. |
| |
| Bus timeout resets the I2C-compatible interface when SCL is low for more than |
| 30ms (nominal). |
| |
| Alarm polarity determines if the active state of the alarm is low or high. The |
| behavior for both settings is dependent on the Fault Queue setting. The ALARM |
| pin is an open-drain output and requires a pullup resistor to operate. |
| |
| The Fault Queue bits select how many consecutive temperature faults must occur |
| before overtemperature or undertemperature faults are indicated in the |
| corresponding status bits. |
