44 This driver implements support for the Winbond W83627EHF, W83627EHG,
45 W83627DHG, W83627DHG-P, W83667HG, W83667HG-B, W83667HG-I (NCT6775F),
46 and NCT6776F super I/O chips. We will refer to them collectively as
49 The chips implement three temperature sensors (up to four for 667HG-B, and nine
50 for NCT6775F and NCT6776F), five fan rotation speed sensors, ten analog voltage
51 sensors (only nine for the 627DHG), one VID (6 pins for the 627EHF/EHG, 8 pins
52 for the 627DHG and 667HG), alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented),
53 and some automatic fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
55 The temperature sensor sources on W82677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F are
56 configurable. temp4 and higher attributes are only reported if its temperature
57 source differs from the temperature sources of the already reported temperature
58 sensors. The configured source for each of the temperature sensors is provided
61 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
62 degC for temp1 and and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. For temp4 and higher,
63 resolution is 1 degC for W83667HG-B and 0.0 degC for NCT6775F and NCT6776F.
64 An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than high limit;
65 it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis value.
66 Alarms are only supported for temp1, temp2, and temp3.
68 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
69 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
70 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or
71 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy. The driver sets the most
72 suitable fan divisor itself. Some fans might not be present because they
73 share pins with other functions.
75 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
76 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
79 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
80 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
81 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
82 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
84 The mode works for fan1-fan4. Mapping of temperatures to pwm outputs is as
90 prog -> pwm4 (not on 667HG and 667HG-B; the programmable setting is not
91 supported by the driver)
96 name - this is a standard hwmon device entry. For the W83627EHF and W83627EHG,
97 it is set to "w83627ehf", for the W83627DHG it is set to "w83627dhg",
98 for the W83667HG and W83667HG-B it is set to "w83667hg", for NCT6775F it
99 is set to "nct6775", and for NCT6776F it is set to "nct6776".
101 pwm[1-4] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
102 0 (stop) to 255 (full)
104 pwm[1-4]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
105 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm file any value 0-255 (full speed)
106 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
107 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
108 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode
109 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
111 SmartFan III mode is not supported on NCT6776F.
113 SmartFan IV mode is configurable only if it was configured at system
114 startup, and is only supported for W83677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F.
115 SmartFan IV operational parameters can not be configured at this time,
116 and the various pwm attributes are not used in SmartFan IV mode.
117 The attributes can be written to, which is useful if you plan to
118 configure the system for a different pwm mode. However, the information
119 returned when reading pwm attributes is unrelated to SmartFan IV
122 pwm[1-4]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
123 * 0 DC output (0 - 12v)
129 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
131 pwm[1-4]_target - set target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
133 pwm[1-4]_tolerance - tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius (range 0 - 15000)
135 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval,
136 fan speed increases (temp is higher) or decreases if lower than desired.
137 There are defined steps and times, but not exported by the driver yet.
139 pwm[1-4]_min_output - minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255), when the temperature
140 is below defined range.
141 pwm[1-4]_stop_time - how many milliseconds [ms] must elapse to switch
142 corresponding fan off. (when the temperature was below
145 Note: last two functions are influenced by other control bits, not yet exported
146 by the driver, so a change might not have any effect.
148 Implementation Details
149 ----------------------
151 Future driver development should bear in mind that the following registers have
152 different functions on the 627EHF and the 627DHG. Some registers also have
153 different power-on default values, but BIOS should already be loading
154 appropriate defaults. Note that bank selection must be performed as is currently
155 done in the driver for all register addresses.
157 0x49: only on DHG, selects temperature source for AUX fan, CPU fan0
158 0x4a: not completely documented for the EHF and the DHG documentation assigns
159 different behavior to bits 7 and 6, including extending the temperature
160 input selection to SmartFan I, not just SmartFan III. Testing on the EHF
161 will reveal whether they are compatible or not.
163 0x58: Chip ID: 0xa1=EHF 0xc1=DHG
164 0x5e: only on DHG, has bits to enable "current mode" temperature detection and
165 critical temperature protection
166 0x45b: only on EHF, bit 3, vin4 alarm (EHF supports 10 inputs, only 9 on DHG)
167 0x552: only on EHF, vin4
168 0x558: only on EHF, vin4 high limit
169 0x559: only on EHF, vin4 low limit
170 0x6b: only on DHG, SYS fan critical temperature
171 0x6c: only on DHG, CPU fan0 critical temperature
172 0x6d: only on DHG, AUX fan critical temperature
173 0x6e: only on DHG, CPU fan1 critical temperature
175 0x50-0x55 and 0x650-0x657 are marked "Test Register" for the EHF, but "Reserved
176 Register" for the DHG
178 The DHG also supports PECI, where the DHG queries Intel CPU temperatures, and
179 the ICH8 southbridge gets that data via PECI from the DHG, so that the
180 southbridge drives the fans. And the DHG supports SST, a one-wire serial bus.
182 The DHG-P has an additional automatic fan speed control mode named Smart Fan
183 (TM) III+. This mode is not yet supported by the driver.
