- Description
- -----------
- The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
- contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
- The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware
- monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The
- hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the
- smsc47m192 driver for that.
- No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device
- ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible.
- Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
- triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
- readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
- the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
- represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
- representable value is around 2600 RPM.
- PWM values are from 0 to 255.
- If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
- is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
- already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
- hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
- than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
- miss once-only alarms.
