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