| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The LTC4261/LTC4261-2 negative voltage Hot Swap controllers allow a board |
| to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. |
| |
| |
| Usage Notes |
| ----------- |
| |
| This driver does not probe for LTC4261 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 LTC4261 at address 0x10 |
| on I2C bus #1: |
| $ modprobe ltc4261 |
| $ echo ltc4261 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. |
| |
| The chip has two voltage sensors, but only one set of voltage alarm status bits. |
| In many many designs, those alarms are associated with the ADIN2 sensor, due to |
| the proximity of the ADIN2 pin to the OV pin. ADIN2 is, however, not available |
| on all chip variants. To ensure that the alarm condition is reported to the user, |
| report it with both voltage sensors. |
