20Description
21-----------
22
23The MAX1619 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
24well as the temperature of up to one external diode.
25
26All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
27is 1.0 degree for the local temperature and for the remote temperature.
28
29Only the external sensor has high and low limits.
30
31The max1619 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
32other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
33'old' values.
