.Sh NAME
.Nm owsbm
.Nd 1-Wire smart battery monitor device
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "owsbm* at onewire?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the 1-Wire smart battery monitor.
The sensor possesses a temperature sensor, an A/D converter for measuring both
battery voltage and current, a current accumulator of both incoming and
outgoing current, an elapsed time and 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM.
.Pp
Only the three voltages (VDD, VAD, CR) and temperature are accessible by
the
.Xr sysctl 8
interface.
.Pp
The following chips are supported by the driver:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
.It
Maxim/Dallas DS2438
.El
.Sh MEASURING CURRENT
The sensor does not measure current directly.
Instead it measures the voltage across the Rsens pins.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
I = Voltage CR / Rsens    (where Rsens is in Ohms)
