Module Parameters
------------------
* polarity int
Output's polarity: 0 = active high, 1 = active low
Description
-----------
The DS1621 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has
both high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.
programmed into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55
degree Celsius to +125 in 0.5 increments. You may convert this into a
Fahrenheit range of -67 to +257 degrees with 0.9 steps. If polarity
parameter is not provided, original value is used.
As for the thermostat, behavior can also be programmed using the polarity
toggle. On the one hand ("heater"), the thermostat output of the chip,
Tout, will trigger when the low limit temperature is met or underrun and
stays high until the high limit is met or exceeded. On the other hand
("cooler"), vice versa. That way "heater" equals "active low", whereas
"conditioner" equals "active high". Please note that the DS1621 data sheet
is somewhat misleading in this point since setting the polarity bit does
not simply invert Tout.
A second thing is that, during extensive testing, Tout showed a tolerance
of up to +/- 0.5 degrees even when compared against precise temperature
readings. Be sure to have a high vs. low temperature limit gap of al least
1.0 degree Celsius to avoid Tout "bouncing", though!
The alarm bits are set when the high or low limits are met or exceeded and
are reset by the module as soon as the respective temperature ranges are
left.
The alarm registers are in no way suitable to find out about the actual
status of Tout. They will only tell you about its history, whether or not
any of the limits have ever been met or exceeded since last power-up or
reset. Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change
with neither of the alarms set.
Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to
non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.
The DS1625 is pin compatible and functionally equivalent with the DS1621,
but the DS1621 is meant to replace it.
The DS1721 is pin compatible with the DS1621, has an accuracy of +/- 1.0
degree Celsius over a -10 to +85 degree range, a minimum/maximum alarm
default setting of 75 and 80 degrees respectively, and a maximum conversion
time of 750ms.
In addition, the DS1721 supports four resolution settings from 9 to 12 bits
(defined in degrees C per LSB: 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625, respectifully),
that are set at device power on to the highest resolution: 12-bits (0.0625 degree C).
Changing the DS1721 resolution mode affects the conversion time and can be
done from userspace, via the device 'update_interval' sysfs attribute. This
attribute will normalize range of input values to the device maximum resolution
values defined in the datasheet as such:
Resolution Conversion Time Input Range
(C/LSB) (msec) (msec)
--------------------------------------------
0.5 93.75 0....94
0.25 187.5 95...187
0.125 375 188..375
0.0625 750 376..infinity
--------------------------------------
The following examples show how the 'update_interval' attribute can be
used to change the conversion time:
$ cat update_interval
750
$ cat temp1_input
22062
$
$ echo 300 > update_interval
$ cat update_interval
375
$ cat temp1_input
22125
$
$ echo 150 > update_interval
$ cat update_interval
188
$ cat temp1_input
22250
$
$ echo 1 > update_interval
$ cat update_interval
94
$ cat temp1_input
22000
$
$ echo 1000 > update_interval
$ cat update_interval
750
$ cat temp1_input
22062
$
As shown, the ds1621 driver automatically adjusts the 'update_interval'
user input, via a step function. Reading back the 'update_interval' value
after a write operation provides the conversion time used by the device.
Mathematically, the resolution can be derived from the conversion time
via the following function:
g(x) = 0.5 * [minimum_conversion_time/x]
where:
-> 'x' = the output from 'update_interval'
-> 'g(x)' = the resolution in degrees C per LSB.
-> 93.75ms = minimum conversion time
