Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The LTC2945  is a rail-to-rail system monitor that measures current, voltage,
 | 
						|
and power consumption.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Usage Notes
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This driver does not probe for LTC2945 devices, since there is no register
 | 
						|
which can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiate
 | 
						|
the devices explicitly.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2945 at address 0x10
 | 
						|
on I2C bus #1:
 | 
						|
$ modprobe ltc2945
 | 
						|
$ echo ltc2945 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|

						|
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.
