| Description | |
| ----------- | |
| The LTC4260 Hot Swap controller allows a board to be safely inserted | |
| and removed from a live backplane. | |
| Usage Notes | |
| ----------- | |
| This driver does not probe for LTC4260 devices, since there is no register | |
| which can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiate | |
| the devices explicitly. | |
| Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4260 at address 0x10 | |
| on I2C bus #1: | |
| $ modprobe ltc4260 | |
| $ echo ltc4260 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device | |

| Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADC | |
| registers. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the | |
| real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the | |
| value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value | |
| of the divider resistor against Ground. | |
| Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC | |
| Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor | |
| is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real | |
| current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm. | |
