Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
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, but the hysteresis is common to all
|
||||
two channels.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
