The temperature -sensor incorporates a band-gap type temperature sensor, -10-bit ADC, and a digital comparator with user-programmable upper -and lower limit values. - -The LM77 implements 3 limits: low (temp1_min), high (temp1_max) and -critical (temp1_crit.) It also implements an hysteresis mechanism which -applies to all 3 limits. The relative difference is stored in a single -register on the chip, which means that the relative difference between -the limit and its hysteresis is always the same for all 3 limits. - -This implementation detail implies the following: -* When setting a limit, its hysteresis will automatically follow, the - difference staying unchanged. For example, if the old critical limit - was 80 degrees C, and the hysteresis was 75 degrees C, and you change - the critical limit to 90 degrees C, then the hysteresis will - automatically change to 85 degrees C. -* All 3 hysteresis can't be set independently. We decided to make - temp1_crit_hyst writable, while temp1_min_hyst and temp1_max_hyst are - read-only. Setting temp1_crit_hyst writes the difference between - temp1_crit_hyst and temp1_crit into the chip, and the same relative - hysteresis applies automatically to the low and high limits. -* The limits should be set before the hysteresis. |
