+Description
+-----------
+
+The DS2438 chip provides several functions that are desirable to carry in
+a battery pack. It also has a 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM.
+Because the ability of temperature, current and voltage measurement, the chip
+is also often used in weather stations and applications such as: rain gauge,
+wind speed/direction measuring, humidity sensing, etc.
+
+Current support is provided through the following sysfs files (all files
+except "iad" are readonly):
+
+"iad"
+-----
+This file controls the 'Current A/D Control Bit' (IAD) in the
+Status/Configuration Register.
+Writing a zero value will clear the IAD bit and disables the current
+measurements.
+Writing value "1" is setting the IAD bit (enables the measurements).
+The IAD bit is enabled by default in the DS2438.
+
+When writing to sysfs file bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII.
+An I/O error is returned when there is a problem setting the new value.
+
+"page0"
+-------
+This file provides full 8 bytes of the chip Page 0 (00h).
+This page contains the most frequently accessed information of the DS2438.
+Internally when this file is read, the additional CRC byte is also obtained
+from the slave device. If it is correct, the 8 bytes page data are passed
+to userspace, otherwise an I/O error is returned.
+
+"temperature"
+-------------
+Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_T (temperature conversion)
+command of the chip, afterwards the temperature is read from the device
+registers and provided as an ASCII decimal value.
+
+Important: The returned value has to be divided by 256 to get a real
+temperature in degrees Celsius.
+
+"vad", "vdd"
+------------
+Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_V (voltage conversion)
+command of the chip.
+
+Depending on a sysfs filename a different input for the A/D will be selected:
+vad: general purpose A/D input (VAD)
+vdd: battery input (VDD)
+
+After the voltage conversion the value is returned as decimal ASCII.
+Note: The value is in mV, so to get a volts the value has to be divided by 10.
