23Description
24-----------
25
26LTC2990 is a Quad I2C Voltage, Current and Temperature Monitor.
27The chip's inputs can measure 4 voltages, or two inputs together (1+2 and 3+4)
28can be combined to measure a differential voltage, which is typically used to
29measure current through a series resistor, or a temperature with an external
30diode.

33Usage Notes
34-----------
35
36This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
37devices explicitly.

40Sysfs attributes
41----------------
42
43============= ==================================================
44in0_input     Voltage at Vcc pin in millivolt (range 2.5V to 5V)
45temp1_input   Internal chip temperature in millidegrees Celsius
46============= ==================================================
47
48A subset of the following attributes are visible, depending on the measurement
49mode of the chip.
50
51============= ==========================================================
52in[1-4]_input Voltage at V[1-4] pin in millivolt
53temp2_input   External temperature sensor TR1 in millidegrees Celsius
54temp3_input   External temperature sensor TR2 in millidegrees Celsius
55curr1_input   Current in mA across V1-V2 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor
56curr2_input   Current in mA across V3-V4 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor
57============= ==========================================================
58
59The "curr*_input" measurements actually report the voltage drop across the
60input pins in microvolts. This is equivalent to the current through a 1mOhm
61sense resistor. Divide the reported value by the actual sense resistor value
62in mOhm to get the actual value.
