NAME
lm —National Semiconductor LM78/79/81 temperature, voltage, and fan sensor
SYNOPSIS
lm0 at isa? port 0x290lm1 at isa? port 0x280lm2 at isa? port 0x310lm* at iic?lm* at wbsio?
DESCRIPTION
The lm driver provides support for the National Semiconductor LM78/79/81 hardware monitors and register compatible chips to be used with the sysctl(8) interface.
The original LM78 hardware monitor supports 11 sensors:
| Sensor | Units | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| IN0 | uV DC | Core voltage |
| IN1 | uV DC | Unknown |
| IN2 | uV DC | +3.3V |
| IN3 | uV DC | +5V |
| IN4 | uV DC | +12V |
| IN5 | uV DC | -12V |
| IN6 | uV DC | -5V |
| Temp | uK | Motherboard Temperature |
| Fan0 | RPM | Fan |
| Fan1 | RPM | Chassis Fan |
| Fan2 | RPM | Fan |
For other devices, sensors' names and numbers will be different.
HARDWARE
Chips supported by the lm driver include:
- ASUS AS99127F
- National Semiconductor LM78 and LM78-J
- National Semiconductor LM79
- National Semiconductor LM81
- Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, NCT6779D, NCT6791D, NCT6792D, NCT6793D, NCT6795D
- Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83637HF and W83697HF
- Winbond W83627DHG, W83627UHG and W83627EHF
- Winbond W83781D, W83782D and W83783S
- Winbond W83791D, W83791SD and W83792D
Some devices can attach to bothiic(4) andisa(4); others can only attach to either one or the other. If thelm driver detects a device attaching to bothiic(4) andisa(4), it will detach the device from iic(4).

HISTORY
The lm driver first appeared inNetBSD 1.5; OpenBSD support was added in OpenBSD 3.4.
The lm driver was written byBill Squier and ported to OpenBSD 3.4 by Alexander Yurchenko <grange@openbsd.org>. The driver was largely rewritten for OpenBSD 3.9 byMark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>.
CAVEATS
Some vendors connect these chips to non-standard thermal diodes and resistors. This will result in bogus sensor values.
BUGS
Interrupt support is unimplemented.
There are currently no known pnpbios IDs assigned to LM chips.
This driver attaches to the Winbond W83791SD chip even though that chip does not have any sensors.
