+Description
+-----------
+
+The MAX31760 integrates temperature sensing along with precision PWM fan
+control. It accurately measures its local die temperature and the remote
+temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor, such as a 2N3906,
+or a thermal diode commonly found on CPUs, graphics processor units (GPUs),
+and other ASICs. Multiple temperature thresholds, such as local
+high/overtemperature (OT) and remote high/overtemperature, can be set by an
+I2C-compatible interface. Fan speed is controlled based on the temperature
+reading as an index to a 48-byte lookup table (LUT) containing
+user-programmed PWM values. The flexible LUT-based architecture enables
+the user to program a smooth nonlinear fan speed vs. temperature transfer
+function to minimize acoustic fan noise. Two tachometer inputs allow
+measuring the speeds of two fans independently. When the local or remote
+OT threshold is exceeded, the SHDN pin is asserted low and can be used to
+shut down the system. A dedicated ALERT pin reports that either a local or
+remote high-temperature threshold has been exceeded.
+
+Temperature measurement range: from -55°C to 125°C
+
+Temperature Resolution: 11 Bits, ±0.125°C
