Description
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 and ADT7475
|
|
|
|
|
chip family. Both chips differ only in minor details. They will be
|
|
|
|
|
collectively designed by the name "ADT747x" in the rest of this document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ADT747x uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBus 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
|
|
|
|
|
temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
|
|
|
|
|
measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
|
|
|
|
|
to control fan speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
|
|
|
|
|
ADT747x that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
|
|
|
|
|
three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
|
|
|
|
|
programmable. Once configured, the ADT747x will adjust the PWM outputs in
|
|
|
|
|
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
|
|
|
|
|
This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT747x will signal an ALARM if
|
|
|
|
|
any measured value exceeds either limit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ADT747x samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
|
|
|
|
|
the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
|
|
|
|
|
configuration data is only read once per minute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special Features
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ADT747x has a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
|
|
|
|
|
with a resolution of 0.25 degree Celsius. Temperature readings can be
|
|
|
|
|
configured either for two's complement format or "Offset 64" format,
|
|
|
|
|
wherein 64 is subtracted from the raw value to get the temperature value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for determining
|
|
|
|
|
an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fan Speed Control
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The driver exposes two trip points per PWM channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
point1: Set the PWM speed at the lower temperature bound
|
|
|
|
|
point2: Set the PWM speed at the higher temperature bound
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ADT747x will scale the PWM linearly between the lower and higher PWM
|
|
|
|
|
speed when the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.
|
|
|
|
|
Temperature boundaries are associated to temperature channels rather than
|
|
|
|
|
PWM outputs, and a given PWM output can be controlled by several temperature
|
|
|
|
|
channels. As a result, the ADT747x may compute more than one PWM value
|
|
|
|
|
for a channel at a given time, in which case the maximum value (fastest
|
|
|
|
|
fan speed) is applied. PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fan speed may be set to maximum when the temperature sensor associated with
|
|
|
|
|
the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.

Notes
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The nVidia binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
|
|
|
|
|
fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
