- Description
- -----------
- The LM95245 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System
- Management Bus (SMBus) interface and TruTherm technology that can monitor
- the temperature of a remote diode as well as its own temperature.
- The LM95245 can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of
- external devices such as microprocessors.
- All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Local temperature
- is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are
- given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on
- temperature input and range.
- Each sensor has its own critical limit, but the hysteresis is common to all
- two channels.
- The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values.
- It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact
- values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return
- 'old' values.
