The chip's TruTherm +beta compensation technology allows sensing of 90 nm or 65 nm process +thermal diodes accurately. + +All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Temperature +is provided within a range of -127 to +255 degrees (+127.875 degrees for +the internal sensor). Resolution depends on temperature input and range. + +Each sensor has its own maximum limit, but the hysteresis is common to all +channels. The hysteresis is configurable with the tem1_max_hyst attribute and +affects the hysteresis on all channels. The first two external sensors also +have a critical limit. + +The lm95234 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. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
