This binding applies to temperature to voltage (like the LTC2997), and temperature to current (like the AD590) linear transducers. In both cases these are assumed to be connected to a voltage ADC. When an io-channel measures the output voltage of a temperature analog front end such as a temperature transducer, the interesting measurement is almost always the corresponding temperature, not the voltage output. This binding describes such a circuit. The general transfer function here is (using SI units) V(T) = Rsense * Isense(T) T = (Isense(T) / alpha) + offset T = 1 / (Rsense * alpha) * (V + offset * Rsense * alpha) When using a temperature to voltage transducer, Rsense is set to 1. The following circuits show a temperature to current and a temperature to voltage transducer that can be used with this binding.
