16 This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
19 The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
20 It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
21 SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
23 Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
24 the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
25 comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
26 complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
27 driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
30 As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing
31 with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
32 and its associated documentation.
34 The TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main differences are 4 wire SPI inter-
35 face (read only) and 13-bit temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius reso-
