In order to support +other modes, the driver will need to be expanded. + + +Usage Notes +----------- + +This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate +devices explicitly. + + +Sysfs attributes +---------------- + +The "curr*_input" measurements actually report the voltage drop across the +input pins in microvolts. This is equivalent to the current through a 1mOhm +sense resistor. Divide the reported value by the actual sense resistor value +in mOhm to get the actual value. + +in0_input Voltage at Vcc pin in millivolt (range 2.5V to 5V) +temp1_input Internal chip temperature in millidegrees Celcius +curr1_input Current in mA across v1-v2 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor. +curr2_input Current in mA across v3-v4 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor. |
