34Description
35-----------
36
37The DS1621 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
38Overtemperature register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
39set and read to half-degree accuracy.
40An alarm is issued when the temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature
41value; or drops below the Hysteresis value.
42
43It stays on until reset by the kernel module.
44
45All temperatures are in degrees Celcius, and are guaranteed within a
46range of -55 to +125 degrees.
47
48The DS1621 supplies the temperature data in a format common with chips
49like the LM75, LM77 and DS75, DS1775.
50While the DS1621 has three additional bits of accuracy
51(12 vs. 9 for the LM75), the additional bits are not supported.
