Through +the PMBus interface, the device can monitor input/output voltages, output current +and temperature. + +The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see +Documentation/hwmon/pmbus.rst for details on PMBus client drivers. + +Usage Notes +----------- + +This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate +the devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst +for details. + +Platform data support +--------------------- + +The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data. + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +================= ======================================== +in1_label "vin" +in1_input Measured input voltage +in1_alarm Input voltage alarm +in2_label "vout1" +in2_input Measured output voltage +curr1_label "iout1" +curr1_input Measured output current. +curr1_alarm Output current alarm +temp1_input Measured temperature +temp1_alarm Chip temperature alarm +================= ======================================== |
