.Dd October 9, 2006 .Dt TM121TEMP 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm tm121temp .Nd Texas Instruments TMP121 temperature sensor .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "tm121temp0 at spi? slave 0" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for the .Tn Texas Instruments (formerly .Tn Burr-Brown ) TMP121 temperature sensor with the .Xr envsys 4 API. These devices are connected to the host system with .Xr spi 4 or .Tn Microwire 4-wire serial busses. The .Nm is capable of measuring temperatures with a 2 degree accuracy over the frame from -40 to 125 Celsius. Temperatures are reported with a granularity of 625 microKelvins.

p .Nm devices can transfer information at up to 10MHz, and support SPI mode 0.

p The device reports itself with .Xr envsys 4 using the generic device name. This name can be overridden, by specifying an alternate name in the device property .Dq envsys-description . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr envsys 4 , .Xr spi 4 , .Xr envstat 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver was written by .An Garrett D'Amore and first appeared in .Nx 4.0 .
