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 registerwhich can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiatethe devices explicitly.

Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2945 at address 0x10on I2C bus #1:

$ modprobe ltc2945$ echo ltc2945 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device

Sysfs entries¶

Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADCregisters. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate thereal voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is thevalue of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the valueof the divider resistor against Ground.

Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADCCurrent Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistoris installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the realcurrent by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm.
