| 15 | Description |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The MAX1619 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as |
| 19 | well as the temperature of up to one external diode. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution |
| 22 | is 1.0 degree for the local temperature and for the remote temperature. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Only the external sensor has high and low limits. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The max1619 driver will not update its values more frequently than every |
| 27 | other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return |
| 28 | 'old' values. |
