20Module Parameters
21-----------------
22
23* init: integer
24  Set to non-zero to force some initializations (default is 0).
25* disable_block: integer
26  A "0" allows SMBus block data transactions if the host supports them.  A "1"
27  disables SMBus block data transactions.  The default is 0.
28* vccp_limit_type: integer array (2)
29  Configures in7 and in8 limit type, where 0 means absolute and non-zero
30  means relative.  "Relative" here refers to "Dynamic Vccp Monitoring using
31  VID" from the datasheet.  It greatly simplifies the interface to allow
32  only one set of limits (absolute or relative) to be in operation at a
33  time (even though the hardware is capable of enabling both).  There's
34  not a compelling use case for enabling both at once, anyway.  The default
35  is "0,0".
36* vid_agtl: integer
37  A "0" configures the VID pins for V(ih) = 2.1V min, V(il) = 0.8V max.
38  A "1" configures the VID pins for V(ih) = 0.8V min, V(il) = 0.4V max.
39  (The latter setting is referred to as AGTL+ Compatible in the datasheet.)
40  I.e. this parameter controls the VID pin input thresholds; if your VID
41  inputs are not working, try changing this.  The default value is "0".

44Hardware Description
45--------------------
46
47(from the datasheet)
48
49The LM93 hardware monitor has a two wire digital interface compatible with
50SMBus 2.0. Using an 8-bit ADC, the LM93 measures the temperature of two remote
51diode connected transistors as well as its own die and 16 power supply
52voltages. To set fan speed, the LM93 has two PWM outputs that are each
53controlled by up to four temperature zones. The fancontrol algorithm is lookup
54table based. The LM93 includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
55temperature readings for better control of fan speed. The LM93 has four
56tachometer inputs to measure fan speed. Limit and status registers for all
57measured values are included. The LM93 builds upon the functionality of
58previous motherboard management ASICs and uses some of the LM85's features
59(i.e. smart tachometer mode). It also adds measurement and control support
60for dynamic Vccp monitoring and PROCHOT. It is designed to monitor a dual
61processor Xeon class motherboard with a minimum of external components.
62
63LM94 is also supported in LM93 compatible mode. Extra sensors and features of
64LM94 are not supported.

67User Interface
68--------------
69
70#PROCHOT:
71
72The LM93 can monitor two #PROCHOT signals.  The results are found in the
73sysfs files prochot1, prochot2, prochot1_avg, prochot2_avg, prochot1_max,
74and prochot2_max.  prochot1_max and prochot2_max contain the user limits
75for #PROCHOT1 and #PROCHOT2, respectively.  prochot1 and prochot2 contain
76the current readings for the most recent complete time interval.  The
77value of prochot1_avg and prochot2_avg is something like a 2 period
78exponential moving average (but not quite - check the datasheet). Note
79that this third value is calculated by the chip itself.  All values range
80from 0-255 where 0 indicates no throttling, and 255 indicates > 99.6%.
81
82The monitoring intervals for the two #PROCHOT signals is also configurable.
83These intervals can be found in the sysfs files prochot1_interval and
84prochot2_interval.  The values in these files specify the intervals for
85#P1_PROCHOT and #P2_PROCHOT, respectively.  Selecting a value not in this
86list will cause the driver to use the next largest interval.  The available
87intervals are (in seconds):
88
89#PROCHOT intervals: 0.73, 1.46, 2.9, 5.8, 11.7, 23.3, 46.6, 93.2, 186, 372
90
91It is possible to configure the LM93 to logically short the two #PROCHOT
92signals.  I.e. when #P1_PROCHOT is asserted, the LM93 will automatically
93assert #P2_PROCHOT, and vice-versa.  This mode is enabled by writing a
94non-zero integer to the sysfs file prochot_short.
95
96The LM93 can also override the #PROCHOT pins by driving a PWM signal onto
97one or both of them.  When overridden, the signal has a period of 3.56 ms,
98a minimum pulse width of 5 clocks (at 22.5kHz => 6.25% duty cycle), and
99a maximum pulse width of 80 clocks (at 22.5kHz => 99.88% duty cycle).
100
101The sysfs files prochot1_override and prochot2_override contain boolean
102integers which enable or disable the override function for #P1_PROCHOT and
103#P2_PROCHOT, respectively.  The sysfs file prochot_override_duty_cycle
104contains a value controlling the duty cycle for the PWM signal used when
105the override function is enabled.  This value ranges from 0 to 15, with 0
106indicating minimum duty cycle and 15 indicating maximum.
107
108#VRD_HOT:
109
110The LM93 can monitor two #VRD_HOT signals. The results are found in the
111sysfs files vrdhot1 and vrdhot2. There is one value per file: a boolean for
112which 1 indicates #VRD_HOT is asserted and 0 indicates it is negated. These
113files are read-only.
114
115Smart Tach Mode:
116
117(from the datasheet)
118
119	If a fan is driven using a low-side drive PWM, the tachometer
120	output of the fan is corrupted. The LM93 includes smart tachometer
121	circuitry that allows an accurate tachometer reading to be
122	achieved despite the signal corruption.  In smart tach mode all
123	four signals are measured within 4 seconds.
124
125Smart tach mode is enabled by the driver by writing 1 or 2 (associating the
126the fan tachometer with a pwm) to the sysfs file fan<n>_smart_tach.  A zero
127will disable the function for that fan.  Note that Smart tach mode cannot be
128enabled if the PWM output frequency is 22500 Hz (see below).
129
130Manual PWM:
131
132The LM93 has a fixed or override mode for the two PWM outputs (although, there
133are still some conditions that will override even this mode - see section
13415.10.6 of the datasheet for details.)  The sysfs files pwm1_override
135and pwm2_override are used to enable this mode; each is a boolean integer
136where 0 disables and 1 enables the manual control mode.  The sysfs files pwm1
137and pwm2 are used to set the manual duty cycle; each is an integer (0-255)
138where 0 is 0% duty cycle, and 255 is 100%.  Note that the duty cycle values
139are constrained by the hardware. Selecting a value which is not available
140will cause the driver to use the next largest value.  Also note: when manual
141PWM mode is disabled, the value of pwm1 and pwm2 indicates the current duty
142cycle chosen by the h/w.
143
144PWM Output Frequency:
145
146The LM93 supports several different frequencies for the PWM output channels.
147The sysfs files pwm1_freq and pwm2_freq are used to select the frequency. The
148frequency values are constrained by the hardware.  Selecting a value which is
149not available will cause the driver to use the next largest value.  Also note
150that this parameter has implications for the Smart Tach Mode (see above).
151
152PWM Output Frequencies (in Hz): 12, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 22500 (default)
153
154Automatic PWM:
155
156The LM93 is capable of complex automatic fan control, with many different
157points of configuration.  To start, each PWM output can be bound to any
158combination of eight control sources.  The final PWM is the largest of all
159individual control sources to which the PWM output is bound.
160
161The eight control sources are: temp1-temp4 (aka "zones" in the datasheet),
162#PROCHOT 1 & 2, and #VRDHOT 1 & 2.  The bindings are expressed as a bitmask
163in the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_channels, where a "1" enables the binding, and
164a "0" disables it. The h/w default is 0x0f (all temperatures bound).
165
166	0x01 - Temp 1
167	0x02 - Temp 2
168	0x04 - Temp 3
169	0x08 - Temp 4
170	0x10 - #PROCHOT 1
171	0x20 - #PROCHOT 2
172	0x40 - #VRDHOT 1
173	0x80 - #VRDHOT 2
174
175The function y = f(x) takes a source temperature x to a PWM output y.  This
176function of the LM93 is derived from a base temperature and a table of 12
177temperature offsets.  The base temperature is expressed in degrees C in the
178sysfs files temp<n>_auto_base.  The offsets are expressed in cumulative
179degrees C, with the value of offset <i> for temperature value <n> being
180contained in the file temp<n>_auto_offset<i>.  E.g. if the base temperature
181is 40C:
182
183     offset #	temp<n>_auto_offset<i>	range		pwm
184	 1		0		-		 25.00%
185	 2		0		-		 28.57%
186	 3		1		40C - 41C	 32.14%
187	 4		1		41C - 42C	 35.71%
188	 5		2		42C - 44C	 39.29%
189	 6		2		44C - 46C	 42.86%
190	 7		2		48C - 50C	 46.43%
191	 8		2		50C - 52C	 50.00%
192	 9		2		52C - 54C	 53.57%
193	10		2		54C - 56C	 57.14%
194	11		2		56C - 58C	 71.43%
195	12		2		58C - 60C	 85.71%
196					> 60C		100.00%
197
198Valid offsets are in the range 0C <= x <= 7.5C in 0.5C increments.
199
200There is an independent base temperature for each temperature channel. Note,
201however, there are only two tables of offsets: one each for temp[12] and
202temp[34].  Therefore, any change to e.g. temp1_auto_offset<i> will also
203affect temp2_auto_offset<i>.
204
205The LM93 can also apply hysteresis to the offset table, to prevent unwanted
206oscillation between two steps in the offsets table.  These values are found in
207the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_offset_hyst.  The value in this file has the
208same representation as in temp<n>_auto_offset<i>.
209
210If a temperature reading falls below the base value for that channel, the LM93
211will use the minimum PWM value.  These values are found in the sysfs files
212temp<n>_auto_pwm_min.  Note, there are only two minimums: one each for temp[12]
213and temp[34].  Therefore, any change to e.g. temp1_auto_pwm_min will also
214affect temp2_auto_pwm_min.
215
216PWM Spin-Up Cycle:
217
218A spin-up cycle occurs when a PWM output is commanded from 0% duty cycle to
219some value > 0%.  The LM93 supports a minimum duty cycle during spin-up.  These
220values are found in the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_spinup_min. The value in this
221file has the same representation as other PWM duty cycle values. The
222duration of the spin-up cycle is also configurable.  These values are found in
223the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_spinup_time. The value in this file is
224the spin-up time in seconds.  The available spin-up times are constrained by
225the hardware.  Selecting a value which is not available will cause the driver
226to use the next largest value.
227
228Spin-up Durations: 0 (disabled, h/w default), 0.1, 0.25, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0,
229		   2.0, 4.0
230
231#PROCHOT and #VRDHOT PWM Ramping:
232
233If the #PROCHOT or #VRDHOT signals are asserted while bound to a PWM output
234channel, the LM93 will ramp the PWM output up to 100% duty cycle in discrete
235steps. The duration of each step is configurable. There are two files, with
236one value each in seconds: pwm_auto_prochot_ramp and pwm_auto_vrdhot_ramp.
237The available ramp times are constrained by the hardware.  Selecting a value
238which is not available will cause the driver to use the next largest value.
239
240Ramp Times: 0 (disabled, h/w default) to 0.75 in 0.05 second intervals
241
242Fan Boost:
243
244For each temperature channel, there is a boost temperature: if the channel
245exceeds this limit, the LM93 will immediately drive both PWM outputs to 100%.
246This limit is expressed in degrees C in the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_boost.
247There is also a hysteresis temperature for this function: after the boost
248limit is reached, the temperature channel must drop below this value before
249the boost function is disabled.  This temperature is also expressed in degrees
250C in the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_boost_hyst.
251
252GPIO Pins:
253
254The LM93 can monitor the logic level of four dedicated GPIO pins as well as the
255four tach input pins.  GPIO0-GPIO3 correspond to (fan) tach 1-4, respectively.
256All eight GPIOs are read by reading the bitmask in the sysfs file gpio.  The
257LSB is GPIO0, and the MSB is GPIO7.
