166 0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
167 each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
168 by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
169 at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
170 automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
171 the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
172 battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
174 * fix_pwm_polarity int
175 Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
176 misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
177 to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
183 All the chips supported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
184 through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
185 SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
186 longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
187 than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
194 This driver implements support for the IT8603E, IT8620E, IT8623E, IT8628E,
195 IT8705F, IT8712F, IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F, IT8726F, IT8728F, IT8732F,

199 These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
200 joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
201 include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
202 rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, associated alarms, and chassis
205 The IT8712F and IT8716F additionally feature VID inputs, used to report
206 the Vcore voltage of the processor. The early IT8712F have 5 VID pins,
207 the IT8716F and late IT8712F have 6. They are shared with other functions
208 though, so the functionality may not be available on a given system.
210 The IT8718F and IT8720F also features VID inputs (up to 8 pins) but the value
211 is stored in the Super-I/O configuration space. Due to technical limitations,
212 this value can currently only be read once at initialization time, so
213 the driver won't notice and report changes in the VID value. The two
214 upper VID bits share their pins with voltage inputs (in5 and in6) so you
215 can't have both on a given board.
217 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E and later IT8712F revisions
218 have support for 2 additional fans. The additional fans are supported by the
221 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8732F, IT8781F, IT8782F,
222 IT8783E/F, and late IT8712F and IT8705F also have optional 16-bit tachometer
223 counters for fans 1 to 3. This is better (no more fan clock divider mess) but
224 not compatible with the older chips and revisions. The 16-bit tachometer mode
225 is enabled by the driver when one of the above chips is detected.
227 The IT8726F is just bit enhanced IT8716F with additional hardware
228 for AMD power sequencing. Therefore the chip will appear as IT8716F
229 to userspace applications.
231 The IT8728F, IT8771E, and IT8772E are considered compatible with the IT8721F,
232 until a datasheet becomes available (hopefully.)
234 The IT8603E/IT8623E is a custom design, hardware monitoring part is similar to
235 IT8728F. It only supports 3 fans, 16-bit fan mode, and the full speed mode
236 of the fan is not supported (value 0 of pwmX_enable).
238 The IT8620E and IT8628E are custom designs, hardware monitoring part is similar
239 to IT8728F. It only supports 16-bit fan mode. Both chips support up to 6 fans.
241 The IT8790E supports up to 3 fans. 16-bit fan mode is always enabled.
243 The IT8732F supports a closed-loop mode for fan control, but this is not
244 currently implemented by the driver.
246 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
247 when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
249 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
250 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. When
251 16-bit tachometer counters aren't used, fan readings can be divided by
252 a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give the readings more range or
253 accuracy. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable value is around
254 2600 RPM. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some rounding
257 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
258 alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
259 maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
260 zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. On most chips, all
261 voltage inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
262 of 0.016 volt. IT8603E, IT8721F/IT8758E and IT8728F can measure between 0 and
263 3.06 volts, with a resolution of 0.012 volt. IT8732F can measure between 0 and
264 2.8 volts with a resolution of 0.0109 volt. The battery voltage in8 does not
265 have limit registers.
267 On the IT8603E, IT8620E, IT8628E, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8732F, IT8781F, IT8782F,
268 and IT8783E/F, some voltage inputs are internal and scaled inside the chip:
270 * in7 (optional for IT8781F, IT8782F, and IT8783E/F)
272 * in9 (relevant for IT8603E only)
273 The driver handles this transparently so user-space doesn't have to care.
275 The VID lines (IT8712F/IT8716F/IT8718F/IT8720F) encode the core voltage value:
276 the voltage level your processor should work with. This is hardcoded by
277 the mainboard and/or processor itself. It is a value in volts.
279 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
280 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
281 have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
282 registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
283 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
286 Out-of-limit readings can also result in beeping, if the chip is properly
287 wired and configured. Beeping can be enabled or disabled per sensor type
288 (temperatures, voltages and fans.)
290 The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
291 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
293 To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 4 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
294 or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
295 Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
296 startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (4 = thermistor;
303 The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
304 "Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
305 (see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
308 If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
309 try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
310 it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
311 used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
315 Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
316 -------------------------------------------
318 The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
319 which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
320 chips up to revision G.
322 This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
323 The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
324 at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
325 freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
326 Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
327 prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
329 The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
330 temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
331 between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
332 the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
333 than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
334 doesn't use CPU cycles.
336 Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
337 control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
338 actually switching to automatic control mode.
341 Temperature offset attributes
342 -----------------------------
344 The driver supports temp[1-3]_offset sysfs attributes to adjust the reported
345 temperature for thermal diodes or diode-connected thermal transistors.
346 If a temperature sensor is configured for thermistors, the attribute values
347 are ignored. If the thermal sensor type is Intel PECI, the temperature offset
348 must be programmed to the critical CPU temperature.
