Limits can be set through the 142Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be 143set and read to half-degree accuracy. 144An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature 145gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until 146the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. 147All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a 148range of -55 to +125 degrees. 149 150The driver caches the values for a period varying between 1 second for the 151slowest chips and 125 ms for the fastest chips; reading it more often 152will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. 153 154The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips 155on PC motherboards, to measure the temperature of the processor(s). Clones 156are now used in various embedded designs. 157 158The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other 159LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements, 160that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless 161they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must 162therefore be instantiated explicitly. Higher resolution up to 16-bit 163is supported by this driver, other specific enhancements are not. 164 165The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time. 166Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
