Measure Thermal Diode with Transistor Model
Support 45nm, 65nm and 90nm CPU thermal
diode
20-Pin SSOP Package
The thermometers report the temperature of 3 remote
sensors. The remote sensors are diode-connected transistors typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN
type or the diode built-in in CPU. Remote accuracy is
±1°C for multiple transistor manufacturer. The G7921
also support offset adjust function via SMBus to fix the
error due to different CPU diode or parasitic resistors.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBusTM) Write Byte, Read Byte,
Send Byte, and Receive Byte commands. The SMBus
address is 7ah for write and 7bh for read, and supports writting protection function by command 20h to
prevent error behavior of µP.
G7921 contains one fan controllers. FAN1 controller
performs closed-loop and open-loop control. G7921
determines the current fan speed based on the FG
inputs and an externally supplied 32.768KHz clock.
The driving ability of FAN1 is 500mA. G7921 also provide ALERT for fan fail and out of control event.
The G7921 provides hardware and software thermal
shutdown. The hardware thermal shutdown is for the
sensor 2. The trigger point is set by external resistors.
The trigger points of software thermal shutdown are
set via SMBus. If thermal shutdown event occurs,
THERM pin outputs low.
