Currently the driver provides +reporting of all the input values but does not provide any alarms. + +Voltage Monitoring +------------------ + +Voltages are sampled by a 12 bit ADC. Voltages in milivolts are 1.465 +times the ADC value. + +Temperature Monitoring +---------------------- + +Temperatures are sampled by a 12 bit ADC. Chip and battery temperatures +are available. The chip temperature is calculated as: + + Degrees celsius = (512.18 - data) / 1.0983 + +while the battery temperature calculation will depend on the NTC +thermistor component. |
