37Description
38-----------
39
40The W83L785TS-S is a digital temperature sensor. It senses the
41temperature of a single external diode. The high limit is
42theoretically defined as 85 or 100 degrees C through a combination
43of external resistors, so the user cannot change it. Values seen so
44far suggest that the two possible limits are actually 95 and 110
45degrees C. The datasheet is rather poor and obviously inaccurate
46on several points including this one.
47
48All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
49is 1.0 degree. See the datasheet for details.
50
51The w83l785ts driver will not update its values more frequently than
52every other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will
53return 'old' values.

56Known Issues
57------------
58
59On some systems (Asus), the BIOS is known to interfere with the driver
60and cause read errors. The driver will retry a given number of times
61(5 by default) and then give up, returning the old value (or 0 if
62there is no old value). It seems to work well enough so that you should
63not notice anything. Thanks to James Bolt for helping test this feature.
