IDEALITY[5:0]
12h
This register stores the ideality factors that are applied to the external diode. Table 6.15 defines each
setting and the corresponding ideality factor. Beta Compensation and Resistance Error Correction
automatically correct for most diode ideality errors; therefore, it is not recommended that these settings
be updated without consulting SMSC.

For CPU substrate transistors that require the BJT transistor model, the ideality factor behaves slightly
differently than for discrete diode-connected transistors. Refer to Table 6.16 when using a CPU
substrate transistor.
