| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The DS620 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has both |
| high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e. programmed |
| into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55 degree Celsius |
| to +125. Between 0 and 70 degree Celsius, accuracy is 0.5 Kelvin. The value |
| returned via sysfs displays post decimal positions. |
| |
| The thermostat function works as follows: When configured via platform_data |
| (struct ds620_platform_data) .pomode == 0 (default), the thermostat output pin |
| PO is always low. If .pomode == 1, the thermostat is in PO_LOW mode. I.e., the |
| output pin PO becomes active when the temperature falls below temp1_min and |
| stays active until the temperature goes above temp1_max. |
| |
| Likewise, with .pomode == 2, the thermostat is in PO_HIGH mode. I.e., the PO |
| output pin becomes active when the temperature goes above temp1_max and stays |
| active until the temperature falls below temp1_min. |
| |
| The PO output pin of the DS620 operates active-low. |
