You will have to instantiate -the devices explicitly. - -Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4261 at address 0x10 -on I2C bus #1: -$ modprobe ltc4261 -$ echo ltc4261 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device - - -Sysfs entries -------------- - -Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADC -registers. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the -real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the -value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value -of the divider resistor against Ground. - -Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC -Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor -is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real -current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm. - -The chip has two voltage sensors, but only one set of voltage alarm status bits. -In many many designs, those alarms are associated with the ADIN2 sensor, due to -the proximity of the ADIN2 pin to the OV pin. ADIN2 is, however, not available -on all chip variants. To ensure that the alarm condition is reported to the user, -report it with both voltage sensors. - -in1_input ADIN2 voltage (mV) -in1_min_alarm ADIN/ADIN2 Undervoltage alarm -in1_max_alarm ADIN/ADIN2 Overvoltage alarm - -in2_input ADIN voltage (mV) -in2_min_alarm ADIN/ADIN2 Undervoltage alarm -in2_max_alarm ADIN/ADIN2 Overvoltage alarm - -curr1_input SENSE current (mA) -curr1_alarm SENSE overcurrent alarm |
