Temperature sensor

There is a Philips LM75A temperature sensor on the ZEUS. The LM75A is a

temperature-to-digital converter using an on-chip band-gap temperature sensor and

sigma-delta A-to-D conversion technique. The device is also a thermal detector

providing an over-temperature detection output (OVERTEMP signal on GPIO96 of

PXA270). The accuracy of LM75A is ±2 °C (at -25 °C to 100 °C), and ±3 °C (at -55 °C

to 125 °C). LM75A is connected to the I

C bus of PXA270 processor, and is accessible

at I
