-Description
------------
-
-The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
-Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
-set and read to half-degree accuracy.
-An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
-gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
-the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
-All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
-range of -55 to +125 degrees.
-
-The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
-will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
-
-The LM75 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
-the temperature of the processor(s).
-
-The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well.
-They are not distinguished from an LM75. While most of these chips
-have three additional bits of accuracy (12 vs. 9 for the LM75),
-the additional bits are not supported. Not only that, but these chips will
-not be detected if not in 9-bit precision mode (use the force parameter if
-needed).
-
-The TCN75 is supported as well, and is not distinguished from an LM75.
-
-The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
-LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
-that are supported.
-
-The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
-Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
