ADT7467 dbCOOL Remote Thermal Monitor and Fan Controller The ADT7467 dbCOOL controller is a thermal monitor and multiple PWM fan controller for noise-sensitive or power-sensitive applications requiring active system cooling. The ADT7467 can drive a fan using either a low or high frequency drive signal, monitor the temperature of up to two remote sensor diodes plus its own internal temperature, and measure and control the speed of up to four fans so that they operate at the lowest possible speed for minimum acoustic noise. The automatic fan speed control loop optimizes fan speed for a given temperature. A unique dynamic TMIN control mode enables the system thermals/acoustics to be intelligently managed. The effectiveness of the system’s thermal solution can be monitored using the THERM input. The ADT7467 also provides critical thermal protection to the system using the bidirectional THERM pin as an output to prevent system or component overheating.

On the ADT7460, the measurement range is from −127C to +127C. This means that the ADT7467 can measure higher temperatures. The ADT7467 also includes the ADT7460 temperature range; the temperature measurement range can be switched by setting Bit 0 of Configuration Register 5. 6. The ADT7467 maximum fan speed (% duty cycle) in the automatic fan speed control loop can be programmed. The maximum fan speed is 100% duty cycle on the ADT7460 and is not programmable. 7. The offset register in the ADT7467 is programmable up to 64C with 0.50C resolution. The offset register of the ADT7460 is programmable up to 32C with 0.25C resolution. 8. VCCP is monitored on Pin 14 of the ADT7467 and can be used to set the threshold for THERM (PROCHOT) (2/3 of VCCP). 2.5 V is monitored on Pin 14 of the ADT7460. The threshold for THERM (PROCHOT) is set at VIH = 1.7 V and VIL = 0.8 V on the ADT7460. 9. On the ADT7460, Pin 14 could be reconfigured as SMBALERT. This is not available on the ADT7467. SMBALERT can be enabled instead on Pin 9. 10. A GPIO can also be made available on Pin 9 on the ADT7467. This is not available on the ADT7460. Set the GPIO polarity and direction in Configuration Register 5. The GPIO status bit is Bit 5 of Status Register 2 (it is shared with TACH4 and THERM because only one can be enabled at a time). 11. The ADT7460 has three possible SMBus addresses, which are selectable using the address select and address enable pins. The ADT7467 has one SMBus address available at Address 0x2E. The ADT7467 is a complete thermal monitor and multiple fan controller for systems requiring thermal monitoring and cooling. The device communicates with the system via a serial system management bus. The serial bus controller has a serial data line for reading and writing addresses and data (Pin 16) and an input line for the serial clock (Pin 1). All control and programming functions for the ADT7467 are performed over the serial bus. In addition, one of two pins can be reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to signal out-of-limit conditions. Comparison between ADT7460 and ADT7467 The ADT7467 is an upgrade from the ADT7460. The ADT7467 and ADT7460 are almost pin and register map compatible. The ADT7467 and ADT7460 have the following differences: 1. On the ADT7467, the PWM drive signals can be configured as either high frequency or low frequency drives. The low frequency option is programmable between 10 Hz and 100 Hz. The high frequency option is 22.5 kHz. On the ADT7460, only the low frequency option is available. 2. Once VCC and VCCP are powered up, monitoring of temperature and fan speeds is enabled on the ADT7467. If VCCP is never powered up, monitoring is enabled when the first SMBus transaction with the ADT7467 is complete. On the ADT7460, the STRT bit in Configuration Register 1 must be set to enable monitoring. 3. The fans are switched off by default upon power-up of the ADT7467. On the ADT7460, the fans run at full speed upon power-up. Fail-safe cooling is provided on the ADT7467. If the measured temperature exceeds the THERM limit (100C), the fans run at full speed. Fail-safe cooling is also provided 4.6 sec after VCCP is powered up. The fans operate at full speed if the ADT7467 has not been addressed via the SMBus within 4.6 sec of when the VCCP is powered up. This protects the system in the event that the SMBus fails. The ADT7467 can be programmed at any time, and it behaves as programmed. If VCCP is never powered up, fail-safe cooling is effectively disabled. If VCCP is disabled, writing to the ADT7467 at any time causes the ADT7467 to operate normally. 4. Series resistance cancellation (SRC) is provided on the remote temperature channels on the ADT7467, but not on the ADT7460. SRC automatically cancels linear offset introduced by a series resistance between the thermal diode and the sensor. 5. The ADT7467 has an extended temperature measurement range. The measurement range goes Due to the inclusion of extra functionality, the register map has changed, including an additional configuration register, Configuration Register 5 at Address 0x7C. Configuration Register 5 Bit 0: If Bit 0 is set to 1, the ADT7467, in terms of temperature, is backward compatible with the ADT7460. Measurements, including TMIN calibration circuit and fan control, work in the range −127C to +127C. In addition, care should be taken in reprogramming the temperature limits (TMIN, operating point, THERM) to their desired twos complement value, because the power-on default for them is at Offset 64. The extended temperature range is −64C to 191C. The default is 1, which is in the −64C to +191C temperature range. Bit 1 = 0 is the high frequency (22.5 kHz) fan drive signal. Bit 1 = 1 switches the fan drive to low frequency PWM, programmable between 10 Hz and 100 Hz, the same as the ADT7460. The default is 0, or HF PWM. http://onsemi.com 8 ADT7467 Recommended Implementation Bit 2 sets the direction for the GPIO: 0 = input, 1 = output. Bit 3 sets the GPIO polarity: 0 = active low, 1 = active high. Configuring the ADT7467 as in Figure NO TAG allows the system designer to use the following features: Two PWM Outputs for Fan Control of Up to Three Fans (The Front and Rear Chassis Fans are Connected in Parallel) Three TACH Fan Speed Measurement Inputs VCC Measured Internally through Pin 3 CPU Temperature Measured Using the Remote 1 Temperature Channel Ambient Temperature Measured through the Remote 2 Temperature Channel Bidirectional THERM Pin. This Feature Allows Intel Pentium 4 PROCHOT Monitoring and Can Function as an Overtemperature THERM Output. Alternatively, it Can be Programmed as an SMBALERT System Interrupt Output Setting the Functionality of Pin 9 Pin 9 on the ADT7467 has four possible functions: SMBALERT, THERM, GPIO, and TACH4. The user chooses the required functionality by setting Bit 0 and Bit 1 of Configuration Register 4 at Address 0x7D. Table 4.

ADT7467 Implementation Serial Bus Interface write operation is only limited by what the master and slave devices can handle. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions are established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In read mode, the master device overrides the acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high during the low period before the ninth clock pulse. This is known as a no acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low during the low period before the 10th clock pulse, and then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition. Any number of bytes of data can be transferred over the serial bus in one operation. It is not possible to mix a read and a write in one operation, however, because the type of operation is determined at the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without starting a new operation. On PCs and servers, control of the ADT7467 is carried out using the serial system management bus (SMBus). The ADT7467 is connected to this bus as a slave device under the control of a master controller, which is usually (but not necessarily) the ICH. The ADT7467 has a fixed 7-bit serial bus address of 0101110 or 0x2E. The read/write bit must be added to get the 8-bit address (01011100 or 0x5C). Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses: eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit from the slave device. Transitions on the data line must occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable during the high period, because a low-to-high transition might be interpreted as a stop signal when the clock is high. The number of data bytes that can be transmitted over the serial bus in a single read or http://onsemi.com 9 ADT7467 consisting of the serial bus address and the R/W bit set to 1, followed by the data byte read from the data register. This is shown in Figure 17. 2. If the address pointer register is known to be at the desired address, data can be read from the corresponding data register without first writing to the address pointer register, as shown in Figure 17. In the ADT7467, write operations contain either one or two bytes, and read operations contain one byte. To write data to a device data register or read data from it, the address pointer register must first be set. The first byte of a write operation always contains an address, which is stored in the address pointer register, and the second byte, if there is a second byte, is written to the register selected by the address pointer register. This write operation is illustrated in Figure 15. The device address is sent over the bus, and then R/W is set to 0. This is followed by two data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the internal data register, and the second data byte is the data written to that internal data register. When reading data from a register, there are two possibilities: 1. If the address pointer register value of the ADT7467 is unknown or not the desired value, it must be set to the correct value before data can be read from the desired data register. This is achieved by writing a data byte containing the register address to the ADT7467. This is shown in Figure 16. A read operation is then performed 1 If the address pointer register is already at the correct value, it is possible to read a data byte from the data register without first writing to the address pointer register. However, it is not possible to write data to a register without writing to the address pointer register, because the first data byte of a write is always written to the address pointer register. In addition to supporting the send byte and receive byte protocols, the ADT7467 also supports the read byte protocol. (See the Intel System Management Bus Specifications Rev. 2 for more information.) If several read or write operations must be performed in succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead of a stop condition to begin a new operation. 9 9 1 SCL 0 SDA 1 START BY MASTER 0 1 1 0 1 R/W D7 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 ACK.

BY STOP BY MASTER MASTER ADT7467 Write Operations 8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the transaction. The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different types of read and write operations. The ones used in the ADT7467 are discussed here. The following abbreviations are used in Figure 18 through Figure 20: S = start P = stop R = read W = write A = acknowledge A = no acknowledge This operation is illustrated in Figure 19. 1 S S Slave A Address W 5 6 Register Address A P Slave Address 6 7 8 A Data A P Receive Byte This operation is useful when repeatedly reading a single register. The register address must have been set up previously. In this operation, the master device receives a single byte from a slave device as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the read bit (high). 3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA. 4. The master receives a data byte. 5. The master asserts a no acknowledge on SDA. 6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and the transaction ends. For the ADT7467, the send byte protocol is used to write a register address to RAM for a subsequent single byte read from the same address. This operation is illustrated in Figure 18. 4 5 The ADT7467 uses the following SMBus read protocols. In this operation, the master device sends a single command byte to a slave device as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the write bit (low). 3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA. 4. The master sends a command code. 5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA. 6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and the transaction ends. 3 Slave W A Address 4 Read Operations Send Byte 2 3 Figure 19. Single Byte Write to a Register The ADT7467 uses the following SMBus write protocols. 1 2 In the ADT7467, the receive byte protocol is used to read a single byte of data from a register whose address has previously been set by a send byte or write byte operation. This operation is illustrated in Figure 20. Figure 18. Setting a Register Address for Subsequent Read 1 2 S Slave Address 3 R A 4 5 6 Data A P Figure 20. Single Byte Read from a Register If the master is required to read data from the register directly after setting up the address, it can assert a repeat start condition immediately after the final acknowledge and carry out a single byte read without asserting an intermediate stop condition. Alert Response Address Alert response address (ARA) is a feature of SMBus devices that allows an interrupting device to identify itself to the host when multiple devices exist on the same bus. The SMBALERT output can be used as either an interrupt output or an SMBALERT. One or more outputs can be connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the master. If a device’s SMBALERT line goes low, the following procedure occurs: 1. SMBALERT is pulled low. 2. The master initiates a read operation and sends the alert response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call address that must not be used as a specific device address. 3. The device whose SMBALERT output is low responds to the alert response address, and the master reads its device address. The address of the Write Byte In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and one data byte to the slave device as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the write bit (low). 3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA. 4. The master sends a command code. 5.

If more than one device’s SMBALERT output is low, the one with the lowest device address has priority in accordance with normal SMBus arbitration. 5. Once the ADT7467 has responded to the alert response address, the master must read the status registers. The SMBALERT is cleared only if the error condition is absent. Register 0x21 VCCP reading = 0x00 default Register 0x22 VCC reading = 0x00 default VCCP Limit Registers Associated with the VCCP and VCC measurement channels is a high and low limit register. Exceeding the programmed high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set. Exceeding either limit can also generate SMBALERT interrupts. SMBus Timeout Register 0x46 VCCP low limit = 0x00 default Register 0x47 VCCP high limit = 0xFF default Register 0x48 VCC low limit = 0x00 default Register 0x49 VCC high limit = 0xFF default The ADT7467 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If there is no SMBus activity for 35 ms, the ADT7467 assumes that the bus is locked and releases the bus. This prevents the device from locking or holding the SMBus in anticipation of receiving data. Some SMBus controllers cannot handle the SMBus timeout feature, so it can be disabled. Table 6 shows the input ranges of the analog inputs and output codes of the 10-bit ADC. When the ADC is running, it samples and converts a voltage input in 0.7 ms and averages 16 conversions to reduce noise; a measurement takes nominally 11 ms. Configuration Register 1 (0x40) <6> TODIS = 0, SMBus timeout enabled (default) <6> TODIS = 1, SMBus timeout disabled Additional ADC Functions for Voltage Measurements Analog-to-Digital Converter A number of other functions are available on the ADT7467 to offer the system designer increased flexibility. All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter, which has a resolution of 10 bits. The basic input range is 0 V to 2.25 V, but the input has built-in attenuators to allow measurement of VCCP without any external components. To allow for the tolerance of the supply voltage, the ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale (decimal 768 or 300 hexadecimal) for the nominal input voltage and, therefore, has adequate headroom to deal with overvoltages. Turn-off Averaging For each voltage measurement read from a value register, 16 readings are made internally, the results of which are averaged and then placed into the value register. For instances where faster conversions are needed, setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2 (0x73) turns averaging off. This produces a reading that is 16 times faster (0.7 ms), but the reading may be noisier. Voltage Measurement Input The ADT7467 has one external voltage measurement channel. It can also measure its own supply voltage, VCC. Pin 14 can measure VCCP. The VCC supply voltage measurement is carried out through the VCC pin (Pin 3). Setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (0x40) allows a 5 V supply to power the ADT7467 and be measured without overranging the VCC measurement channel. The VCCP input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage in computer systems. Bypass Voltage Input Attenuator Setting Bit 5 of Configuration Register 2 (0x73) removes the attenuation circuitry from the VCCP input. This allows the user to directly connect external sensors or to rescale the analog voltage measurement inputs for other applications. The input range of the ADC without the attenuators is 0 V to 2.25 V. Single-channel ADC Conversion Setting Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2 (0x73) places the ADT7467 into single−channel ADC conversion mode. In this mode, the ADT7467 can be made to read a single voltage channel only. If the internal ADT7467 clock is used, the selected input is read every 0.7 ms. The appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits <7:5> of the TACH1 minimum high byte register (0x55). Input Circuitry The internal structure for the VCCP analog input is shown in Figure 21. The input circuit consists of an input protection diode, an attenuator, and a capacitor to form a first-order low-pass filter that gives the input immunity to high frequency noise.

However, this exceeds the operating temperature range of the device, preventing local temperature measurements outside the ADT7467 operating temperature range. A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit the negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring the base-emitter voltage (VBE) of a transistor operated at constant current. Unfortunately, this technique requires calibration to null the effect of the absolute value of VBE, which varies from each device. The technique used in the ADT7467 is to measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at three currents. Previous devices have used only two operating currents, but the use of a third current allows automatic cancellation of resistances in series with the external temperature sensor. Figure 23 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but it could equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and should be linked to the base. To prevent ground noise from interfering with the measurement, the more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground but is biased above ground by an internal diode at the D− input. C1 can optionally be added as a noise filter (the recommended maximum value is 1,000 pF). However, a better option in noisy environments is to add a filter as described in the Noise Filtering section. Remote Temperature Measurement The ADT7467 can measure the temperature of two remote diode sensors or diode-connected transistors connected to Pin 10 and Pin 11 or to Pin 12 and Pin 13. The forward voltage of a diode or diode-connected transistor operated at a constant current exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of about −2 mV/C. Unfortunately, the absolute value of VBE varies from each device and thus requires individual calibration; therefore, the technique is unsuitable for mass production. The technique used in the ADT7467 is to measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at three currents. This is given by: DV BE + kTńq Figure 22 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of a remote temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor provided for temperature monitoring on some microprocessors. It could also be a discrete transistor such as a 2N3904/2N3906. The ADT7467 contains an on-chip band gap temperature sensor whose output is digitized by the on-chip 10-bit ADC. The 8-bit MSB temperature data is stored in the local temperature register (Address 0x26). Because both positive and negative temperatures can be measured, the temperature data is stored in Offset 64 format or twos complement format, as shown in Table 7 and Table 8. Theoretically, the N2 I N1 I VDD IBIAS D+ REMOTE SENSING TRANSISTOR (eq. 1) where: k is Boltzmann’s constant. q is the charge on the carrier. T is the absolute temperature in Kelvins. N is the ratio of the two currents. Local Temperature Measurement I ln(N) VOUT+ To ADC D− VOUT− LOW-PASS FILTER fC = 65 kHz Figure 22. Signal Conditioning for Remote Diode Temperature Sensors interfering with the measurement, the more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground but is biased above ground by an internal diode at the D− input. To measure DVBE, the operating current through the sensor is switched among three related currents. Shown in Figure 22, N1 I and N2 I are different multiples of the current I. The currents through the temperature diode are switched between I and N1 I, resulting in DVBE1; then If a discrete transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and should be linked to the base. If a PNP transistor is used, the base is connected to the D− input and the emitter is connected to the D+ input. If an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is connected to the D− input and the base is connected to the D+ input. Figure 24 and Figure 25 show how to connect the ADT7467 to an NPN or PNP transistor for temperature measurement. To prevent ground noise from http://onsemi.com 14 ADT7467 they are switched between I and N2 I, resulting in DVBE2. The temperature can then be calculated using the two DVBE measurements. This method can also cancel the effect of series resistance on the temperature measurement. The resulting DVBE waveforms are passed through a 65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise and then sent to a chopper-stabilized amplifier that amplifies and rectifies the waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to DVBE. The ADC digitizes this voltage, and a temperature measurement is produced. To reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles. The results of remote temperature measurements are stored in 10-bit twos complement format, as listed in Table 7. The extra resolution for the temperature measurements is held in the Extended Resolution Register 2 (0x77). This produces temperature readings with a resolution of 0.25C. Figure 23 shows a low-pass R-C-R filter with the following values: RĂ=Ă100ĂW, CĂ=Ă1ĂnF This filtering reduces both common-mode noise and differential noise. 100 W REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 100 W D+ 1 nF D− Figure 23. Filter Between Remote Sensor and ADT7467 Factors Affecting Diode Accuracy Remote Sensing Diode The ADT7467 is designed to work with either substrate transistors built into processors or discrete transistors. Substrate transistors are generally PNP types with the collector connected to the substrate. Discrete types can be either PNP or NPN transistors connected as a diode (base-shorted to the collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the collector and base are connected to D+ and the emitter is connected to D−. If a PNP transistor is used, the collector and base are connected to D− and the emitter is connected to D+. To reduce the error due to variations in both substrate and discrete transistors, a number of factors should be taken into consideration: The ideality factor, nf, of the transistor is a measure of the deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior. The ADT7467 is trimmed for an nf value of 1.008. Use the following equation to calculate the error introduced at a temperature, T (C), when using a transistor whose nf does not equal 1.008. See the processor’s data sheet for the nf values. DT = (nf − 1.008)/1.008 (273.15 K + T) To correct for this error, the user can write the DT value to the offset register, and the ADT7467 automatically adds it to or subtracts it from the temperature measurement. Some CPU manufacturers specify the high and low current levels of the substrate transistors. The high current level of the ADT7467, IHIGH, is 96 mA, and the low level current, ILOW, is 6 mA. If the ADT7467 current levels do not match the current levels specified by the CPU manufacturer, it may be necessary to remove an offset. The CPU’s data sheet should provide information relating to nf to compensate for differences. An offset can be programmed to the offset register. It is important to note that if more than one offset must be considered, the algebraic sum of these offsets must be programmed to the offset register. Series Resistance Cancellation Parasitic resistance to the ADT7467 D+ and D− inputs (seen in series with the remote diode) is caused by a variety of factors, including PCB track resistance and track length. This series resistance appears as a temperature offset in the remote sensor’s temperature measurement. This error typically causes a 0.5C offset per 1ĂW of parasitic resistance in series with the remote diode. The ADT7467 automatically cancels the effect of this series resistance on the temperature reading, providing a more accurate result without the need for user characterization of this resistance. The ADT7467 is designed to automatically cancel, typically up to 3ĂkW of resistance. By using an advanced temperature measurement method, this is transparent to the user. This feature allows resistances to be added to the sensor path to produce a filter, allowing the part to be used in noisy environments. See the Noise Filtering section for details. Noise Filtering For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments, previous practice involved placing a capacitor across the D+ and D− pins to help combat the effects of noise. However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the temperature measurement, leading to a recommended maximum capacitor value of 1,000 pF. A capacitor of this value reduces the noise but does not eliminate it, making use of the sensor difficult in a very noisy environment. The ADT7467 has a major advantage over other devices for eliminating the effects of noise on the external sensor. Using the series resistance cancellation feature, a filter can be constructed between the external temperature sensor and the device. The effect of filter resistance seen in series with the remote sensor is automatically canceled from the temperature result. The construction of a filter allows the ADT7467 and the remote temperature sensor to operate in noisy environments. http://onsemi.com 15 ADT7467 If a discrete transistor is used with the ADT7467, the best accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according to the following criteria: Base-emitter voltage is greater than 0.25 V at 6 mA with the highest operating temperature. Base-emitter voltage is less than 0.95 V at 100 mA with the lowest operating temperature. Base resistance is less than 100 W. There is a small variation in hFE (for example, 50 to 150) that indicates tight control of VBE characteristics. ADT7467 2N3904 NPN ADT7467 2N3906 PNP Table 7.

Even when recommended layout guidelines are followed, some temperature errors may still be attributed to noise coupled onto the D+/D− lines. Constant high frequency noise usually attenuates or increases temperature measurements by a linear, constant value. The ADT7467 has temperature offset registers at Address 0x70 and Address 0x72 for the Remote 1 and Remote 2 temperature channels, respectively. By performing a one-time calibration of the system, the user can determine the offset caused by system board noise and null it using the offset registers. The offset registers automatically add an Offset 64/twos complement 8-bit reading to every temperature measurement. The LSBs add 0.5C offset to the temperature reading; therefore, the 8-bit register effectively allows temperature offsets of up to 64C with a resolution of 0.5C. This ensures that the readings in the temperature measurement registers are as accurate as possible. Table 8. OFFSET 64 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT 0C D+ Figure 25.

In this mode, the diode fault condition remains −128C = 1000 0000, whereas the fault condition is represented by −64C = 0000 0000 in the extended temperature range (−64C to +191C). Turn-off Averaging For each temperature measurement read from a value register, 16 readings are made internally, the results of which are averaged and then placed into the value register.

In this mode, users can read a single temperature channel only. The appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits <7:5> of the TACH1 minimum high byte register (0x55). Table 14. CHANNEL SELECTION Reading Temperature from the ADT7467 It is important to note that temperature can be read from the ADT7467 as an 8-bit value (with 1C resolution) or as a 10-bit value (with 0.25C resolution). If only 1C resolution is required, the temperature readings can be read at any time and in no particular order. If the 10-bit measurement is required, this involves a 2-register read for each measurement. The extended resolution register (0x77) should be read first. Then all temperature reading registers freeze until all temperature reading registers are read. This prevents updating of an MSB reading while its two LSBs are read and vice versa.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT REGISTERS Overtemperature events on a temperature channel can be automatically detected and dealt with in automatic fan speed control mode. Register 0x6A to Register 0x6C contain the THERM temperature limits. When a temperature exceeds its THERM temperature limit, all PWM outputs run at the maximum PWM duty cycle (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A); therefore, fans run at the fastest speed allowed and continue running at this speed until the temperature drops below THERM minus hysteresis. (This can be disabled by setting the BOOST bit in Configuration Register 3, Bit 2, Register 0x78.) The hysteresis value for that THERM temperature limit is the value programmed into Register 0x6D and Register 0x6E (hysteresis registers). The default hysteresis value is 4C.

The fan TACH limits are also 16 bits, consisting of a high byte and low byte. Because slow or stalled fans are normally the only conditions of interest, only high limits exist for fan TACHs. Because the fan TACH period is measured, exceeding the limit indicates a slow or stalled fan. HYSTERESIS (C) 100% FANS Description 0x4E 16-bit Limits THERM LIMIT TEMPERATURE Register Table 18.

These limits form the basis of system-status monitoring in that a status bit can be set for any out-of-limit condition and detected by polling the device. Alternatively, SMBALERT interrupts can be generated to flag a processor or microcontroller of out-of-limit conditions. Out-of-Limit Comparisons Once all limits are programmed, the ADT7467 can be enabled for monitoring. The ADT7467 measures all voltage and temperature measurements in round-robin format and sets the appropriate status bit for out-of-limit conditions. TACH measurements are not part of this round-robin cycle. Comparisons are done differently, depending on whether the measured value is being compared to a high or low limit. High limit: > comparison performed Low limit: comparison performed 8-bit Limits The following is a list of 8-bit limits on the ADT7467. Table 15.

THERM TIMER LIMIT REGISTERS Register 0x7A Description THERM Timer Limit Default 0x00 http://onsemi.com 18 ADT7467 Analog Monitoring Cycle Time a status bit is set, indicating an out-of-limit condition, it remains set until read, even if the event that caused it is absent. The only way to clear the status bit is to read the status register after the event is absent. Interrupt mask registers (0x74 and 0x75) allow masking of individual interrupt sources to prevent an SMBALERT. However, if a masked interrupt source goes out of limit, its associated status bit is set in the interrupt status registers. The analog monitoring cycle begins when a 1 is written to the start bit (Bit 0) of Configuration Register 1 (0x40). By default, the ADT7463 powers up with this bit set. The ADC measures each analog input in turn and, as each measurement is completed, the result is automatically stored in the appropriate value register. This round-robin monitoring cycle continues unless disabled by writing a 0 to Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1. As the ADC is normally left to free-run in this manner, the time to monitor all analog inputs is normally not of interest because the most recently measured value of an input can be read at any time. For applications where the monitoring cycle time is important, it can be calculated easily. The total number of channels measured is One Dedicated Supply Voltage Input (VCCP) One Supply Voltage (VCC Pin) One Local Temperature Two Remote Temperatures Table 19. STATUS REGISTER 1 (REG. 0X41) As mentioned previously, the ADC performs round-robin conversions. The total monitoring cycle time for averaged voltage and temperature monitoring is 145 ms. The total monitoring cycle time for voltage and temperature monitoring with averaging disabled is 19 ms. The ADT7467 is a derivative of the ADT7468. As a result, the total conversion time for the ADT7467 and ADT7468 are the same, even though the ADT7467 has less monitored channels. Fan TACH measurements are made in parallel and are not synchronized with the analog measurements in any way. Bit Mnemonic Description 7 OOL 1 denotes a bit in Status Register 2 is set and Status Register 2 should be read. 6 R2T 1 indicates that the Remote 2 temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. 5 LT 1 indicates that the Local temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. 4 R1T 1 indicates that the Remote 1 temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. 2 VCC 1 indicates that the VCC high or low limit has been exceeded. 1 VCCP 1 indicates that the VCCP high or low limit has been exceeded. Table 20. STATUS REGISTER 2 (REG. 0X42) Bit Mnemonic 7 D2 1 indicates an open or short on D2+/D2− inputs. 6 D1 1 indicates an open or short on D2+/D2− inputs. 5 F4P 1 indicates that Fan 4 has dropped below minimum speed. Alternatively, indicates that THERM timer limit has been exceeded if the THERM timer function is used. 4 FAN3 1 indicates that Fan 3 has dropped below minimum speed. 3 FAN2 1 indicates that Fan 2 has dropped below minimum speed. 2 FAN1 1 indicates that Fan 1 has dropped below minimum speed. 1 OVT 1 indicates that a THERM overtemperature limit has been exceeded. Status Registers The results of limit comparisons are stored in Interrupt Status Register 1 and Interrupt Status Register 2. The status register bit for each channel reflects the status of the last measurement and limit comparison on that channel. If a measurement is within limits, the corresponding status register bit is cleared to 0. If the measurement is out of limit, the corresponding status register bit is set to 1. The state of the various measurement channels can be polled by reading the status registers over the serial bus. In Bit 7 (OOL) of Interrupt Status Register 1 (0x41), 1 means that an out-of-limit event has been flagged in Interrupt Status Register 2. This means that the user also should read Interrupt Status Register 2. Alternatively, Pin 5 or Pin 9 can be configured as an SMBALERT output. This hardware interrupt automatically notifies the system supervisor of an out-of-limit condition. Reading the status registers clears the appropriate status bit if the error condition that caused the interrupt is absent. Status register bits are sticky. Whenever Description Interrupts SMBALERT Interrupt Behavior The ADT7467 can be polled for status, or an SMBALERT interrupt can be generated for out-of-limit conditions. It is important to note how the SMBALERT output and status bits behave when writing interrupt handler software. http://onsemi.com 19 ADT7467 Masking Interrupt Sources HIGH LIMIT Interrupt Mask Registers 1 and 2 are located at Address 0x74 and Address 0x75, respectively, and allow individual interrupt sources to be masked to prevent SMBALERT interrupts. Note that masking an interrupt source prevents only the SMBALERT output from being asserted; the appropriate status bit is set normally. TEMPERATURE “STICKY” STATUS BIT SMBALERT TEMP BACK IN LIMIT (STATUS BIT STAYS SET) CLEARED ON READ (TEMP BELOW LIMIT) Table 21. INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER 1 (REG. 0X74) Figure 27. SMBALERT and Status Bit Behavior Figure 27 shows how the SMBALERT output and sticky status bits behave. Once a limit is exceeded, the corresponding status bit is set to 1. The status bit remains set until the error condition subsides and the status register is read. The status bits are referred to as sticky because they remain set until read by software. This ensures that an out-of-limit event cannot be missed if software is polling the device periodically. Note that the SMBALERT output remains low both for the duration that a reading is out of limit and until the status register has been read. This has implications on how software handles the interrupt. Bit Mnemonic 7 OOL 1 masks SMBALERT for any alert condition flagged in Status Register 2. Description 6 R2T 1 masks SMBALERT for Remote 2 temperature channel. 5 LT 4 R1T 1 masks SMBALERT for Remote 1 temperature channel. 2 VCC 1 masks SMBALERT for the VCC channel. 0 VCCP 1 masks SMBALERT for the VCCP channel. 1 masks SMBALERT for local temperature channel. Handling SMBALERT Interrupts To prevent the system from being tied up with servicing interrupts, it is recommend to handle the SMBALERT interrupt as follows: 1. Detect the SMBALERT assertion. 2. Enter the interrupt handler. 3. Read the status registers to identify the interrupt source. 4. Mask the interrupt source by setting the appropriate mask bit in the interrupt mask registers (Register 0x74 and Register 0x75). 5. Take the appropriate action for a given interrupt source. 6. Exit the interrupt handler. 7. Periodically poll the status registers. If the interrupt status bit has cleared, reset the corresponding interrupt mask bit to 0. This causes the SMBALERT output and status bits to behave as shown in Figure 28. Table 22. INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER 2 (REG. 0X75) Description 7 D2 1 masks SMBALERT for Diode 2 errors. 6 D1 1 masks SMBALERT for Diode 1 errors. 5 FAN4 1 masks SMBALERT for Fan 4 failure. If the TACH4 pin is being used as the THERM input, this bit masks SMBALERT for a THERM event. 4 FAN3 1 masks SMBALERT for Fan 3. 3 FAN2 1 masks SMBALERT for Fan 2. 2 FAN1 1 masks SMBALERT for Fan 1. 1 OVT 1 masks SMBALERT for overtemperature (exceeding THERM limits). The SMBALERT interrupt function is disabled by default. Pin 5 or Pin 9 can be reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to signal out-of-limit conditions. Table 23.

The user chooses the required functionality by setting Bit 0 and Bit 1 of Configuration Register 4 at Address 0x7D. INTERRUPT MASK BIT SET INTERRUPT MASK BIT CLEARED (SMBALERT REARMED) Figure 28. Effect of Masking the Interrupt Source on SMBALERT Output http://onsemi.com 20 ADT7467 counting on the next THERM assertion. The THERM timer continues to accumulate THERM assertion times until the timer is read (it is cleared upon a read) or until it reaches full scale. If the counter reaches full scale, it stops at that reading until cleared. The 8-bit THERM timer register (0x79) is designed such that Bit 0 is set to 1 upon the first THERM assertion. Once the cumulative THERM assertion time exceeds 45.52 ms, Bit 1 of the THERM timer is set and Bit 0 becomes the LSB of the timer with a resolution of 22.76 ms (see Figure 30). It is important to be aware of the following when using the THERM timer. After a THERM timer is read (Register 0x79), the following occurs: The contents of the timer are cleared upon a read. The F4P bit (Bit 5) of Interrupt Status Register 2 must be cleared, assuming that the THERM timer limit has been exceeded. Table 24. CONFIGURING PIN 9 Bit 1 Bit 0 Function 0 0 TACH4 0 1 THERM 1 0 SMBALERT 1 1 GPIO Once Pin 9 is configured as THERM, it must be enabled (Bit 1, Configuration Register 3 at Address 0x78). THERM as an Input When THERM is configured as an input, the user can time assertions on the THERM pin. This can be useful for connecting to the PROCHOT output of a CPU to gauge system performance. The user can also set up the ADT7467 so that when the THERM pin is driven low externally, the fans run at 100%. The fans run at 100% for the duration of the time that the THERM pin is pulled low. This is done by setting the BOOST bit (Bit 2) in Configuration Register 3 (0x78) to 1. This only works if the fan is already running, for example, in manual mode when the current duty cycle is above 0x00, or in automatic mode when the temperature is above TMIN. If the temperature is below TMIN or if the duty cycle in manual mode is set to 0x00, externally pulling THERM low has no effect. See Figure 29 for more information. If the THERM timer is read during a THERM assertion, the following occurs: The contents of the timer are cleared. Bit 0 of the THERM timer is set to 1 because a THERM assertion is occurring. The THERM timer increments from 0. If the THERM timer limit (Register 0x7A) is 0x00, the F4P bit is set.

Asserting THERM Low as an Input in Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode ACCUMULATE THERM LOW ASSERTION TIMES THERM Timer The ADT7467 has an internal timer to measure THERM assertion time. For example, the THERM input can be connected to the PROCHOT output of a Pentium 4 CPU to measure system performance. The THERM input can also be connected to the output of a trip point temperature sensor. The timer is started on the assertion of the THERM input and stopped when THERM is deasserted.

Understanding the THERM Timer http://onsemi.com 21 ADT7467 Generating SMBALERT Interrupts from THERM Timer Events SMBALERT is generated. Note that the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Interrupt Mask Register 2 (0x75) masks SMBALERT if this bit is set to 1; however, the F4P bit of Interrupt Status Register 2 remains set if the THERM timer limit is exceeded. Figure 31 is a functional block diagram of the THERM timer, limit, and associated circuitry. Writing a value of 0x00 to the THERM timer limit register (0x7A) causes SMBALERT to be generated upon the first THERM assertion. A THERM timer limit value of 0x01 generates an SMBALERT once cumulative THERM assertions exceed 45.52 ms. The ADT7467 can generate SMBALERTs when a programmable THERM timer limit has been exceeded. This allows the system designer to ignore brief, infrequent THERM assertions while capturing longer THERM timer events. Register 0x7A is the THERM timer limit register. This 8-bit register allows a limit from 0 sec (first THERM assertion) to 5.825 sec to be set before an SMBALERT is generated. The THERM timer value is compared with the contents of the THERM timer limit register. If the THERM timer value exceeds the THERM timer limit, the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Interrupt Status Register 2 is set and an THERM LIMIT (REG. 0x7A) 2.914 s 1.457 s 728.32 ms 364.16 ms 182.08 ms 91.04 ms 45.52 ms 22.76 ms 2.914 s 1.457 s 728.32 ms 364.16 ms 182.08 ms 91.04 ms 45.52 ms 22.76 ms 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 THERM TIMER (REG. 0x79) THERM 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 THERM TIMER CLEARED ON READ COMPARATOR IN OUT LATCH F4P BIT (BIT 5) STATUS REGISTER 2 SMBALERT RESET CLEARED ON READ 1 = MASK F4P BIT (BIT 5) MASK REGISTER 2 (REG. 0x75) Figure 31. Functional Diagram of THERM Monitoring Circuitry Configuring THERM Behavior settings and are not affected by THERM events. If the fans are not already running when THERM is asserted, the fans do not run to full speed. 3. Select whether THERM timer events should generate SMBALERT interrupts: When set, Bit 5 (F4P) of Mask Register 2 (0x75) masks SMBALERTs when the THERM timer limit value is exceeded. This bit should be cleared if SMBALERT based on THERM events are required. 4. Select a suitable THERM limit value: This value determines whether an SMBALERT is generated upon the first THERM assertion, or if only a cumulative THERM assertion time limit is exceeded. A value of 0x00 causes an SMBALERT to be generated upon the first THERM assertion. 5. Select a THERM monitoring time: This value specifies how often OS or BIOS level software checks the THERM timer. For example, 1. Configure the relevant pin as the THERM timer input: Setting Bit 1 (THERM timer enable) of Configuration Register 3 (0x78) enables the THERM timer monitoring functionality. This is disabled on Pin 9 by default. Setting Bit 0 and Bit 1 (Pin 9 Func) of Configuration Register 4 (0x7D) enables THERM timer/output functionality on Pin 9 (Bit 1, THERM, of Configuration Register 3 must also be set). Pin 9 can also be used as TACH4. 2. Select the desired fan behavior for THERM timer events: Assuming that the fans are running, setting Bit 2 (BOOST bit) of Configuration Register 3 (0x78) causes all fans to run at 100% duty cycle whenever THERM is asserted. This allows fail-safe system cooling. If this bit is 0, the fans run at their current http://onsemi.com 22 ADT7467 BIOS could read the THERM timer once an hour to determine the cumulative THERM assertion time. If, for example, the total THERM assertion time is <22.76 ms in Hour 1, >182.08 ms in Hour 2, and >2.914 sec in Hour 3, this can indicate that system performance is degrading significantly, because THERM is asserting more frequently on an hourly basis. Alternatively, OS or BIOS level software can timestamp when the system is powered on. If an SMBALERT is generated because the THERM timer limit has been exceeded, another timestamp can be taken. The difference in time can be calculated for a fixed THERM timer limit. For example, if it takes one week for a THERM timer limit of 2.914 sec to be exceeded and the next time it takes only 1 hour, this is an indication of a serious degradation in system performance. An alternative method of disabling THERM is to program the THERM temperature limit to −64C or less in Offset 64 mode, or to −128C or less in twos complement mode; therefore, for THERM temperature limit values less than −64C or −128C, respectively, THERM is disabled. Active Cooling Driving the Fan using PWM Control The ADT7467 uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control fan speed. This relies on varying the duty cycle (or on/off ratio) of a square wave applied to the fan to vary the fan speed. The external circuitry required to drive a fan using PWM control is extremely simple. For 4-wire fans, the PWM drive may need only a pull-up resistor. In many cases, the 4-wire fan PWM input has a built-in pull-up resistor. The ADT7467 PWM frequency can be set to a selection of low frequencies or a single high PWM frequency. The low frequency options are usually used for 2-wire and 3-wire fans, and the high frequency option is usually used for 4-wire fans. For 2-wire or 3-wire fans, a single N-channel MOSFET is the only drive device required. The specifications of the MOSFET depend on the maximum current required by the fan being driven. Typical notebook fans draw a nominal 170 mA; therefore, SOT devices can be used where board space is a concern. In desktops, fans can typically draw 250 mA to 300 mA each. If you drive several fans in parallel from a single PWM output or drive larger server fans, the MOSFET must handle the higher current requirements. The only other stipulation is that the MOSFET have a gate voltage drive of VGS < 3.3 V for direct interfacing to the PWMx pin. VGS can be greater than 3.3 V as long as the pull-up on the gate is tied to 5 V. The MOSFET should also have a low on resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage drop across the FET, which would reduce the voltage applied across the fan and, therefore, the maximum operating speed of the fan. Figure 33 shows how to drive a 3-wire fan using PWM control. In addition to monitoring THERM as an input, the ADT7467 can optionally drive THERM low as an output. In cases where PROCHOT is bidirectional, THERM can be used to throttle the processor by asserting PROCHOT. The user can preprogram system-critical thermal limits. If the temperature exceeds a thermal limit by 0.25C, THERM asserts low. If the temperature is still above the thermal limit on the next monitoring cycle, THERM stays low. THERM remains asserted low until the temperature is equal to or below the thermal limit. Because the temperature for that channel is measured only once for every monitoring cycle, it is guaranteed to remain low for at least one monitoring cycle after THERM is asserted. The THERM pin can be configured to assert low if the Remote 1, local, or Remote 2 THERM temperature limits are exceeded by 0.25C. The THERM temperature limit registers are at Register 0x6A, Register 0x6B, and Register 0x6C, respectively. Setting Bit 3 of Register 0x5F, Register 0x60, and Register 0x61 enables the THERM output feature for the Remote 1, local, and Remote 2 temperature channels, respectively. Figure 32 shows how the THERM pin asserts low as an output in the event of a critical overtemperature. 12 V THERM LIMIT +0.25C TACHx 10 kW 12 V 10 kW 12 V FAN 4.7 kW THERM LIMIT ADT7467 1N4148 Configuring the THERM Pin as an Output 3.3 V TEMP 10 kW THERM PWMx Q1 NDT3055L Figure 33.

Figure 37 shows the equivalent circuit using a MOSFET. Figure 33 uses a 10 kW pull-up resistor for the TACH signal. This assumes that the TACH signal is an open-collector from the fan. In all cases, the TACH signal from the fan must be kept below 5 V maximum to prevent damaging the ADT7467. If in doubt as to whether the fan used has an open-collector or totem pole TACH output, use one of the input signal conditioning circuits shown in the Fan Speed Measurement section. Figure 34 shows a fan drive circuit using an NPN transistor such as a general-purpose MMBT2222. Although these devices are inexpensive, they tend to have much lower current handling capabilities and higher on resistance than MOSFETs. When choosing a transistor, care should be taken to ensure that it meets the fan’s current requirements. Ensure that the base resistor is chosen such that the transistor is saturated when the fan is powered on. Because 4-wire fans are powered continuously, the fan speed is not switched on or off as with previous PWM driven/powered fans. This enables it to perform better than 3-wire fans, especially for high frequency applications. Figure 35 shows a typical drive circuit for 4-wire fans. 10 kW ADT7467 2.2 kW 10 kW TYP ADT7467 TACH3 PWM3 10 kW TACH 4.7 kW ADT7467 TACH 3.3 V +V +V 5V or 12 V FAN TACH 5V or 12 V FAN Q1 NDT3055L Figure 37.

Care should be taken in designing drive circuits with transistors and FETs to ensure that the PWM pins are not required to source current and that they sink less than the 5 mA maximum current specified on the data sheet. 12 V 12 V, 4-WIRE FAN VCC TACH PWM 3.3 V Driving up to Three Fans from PWM3 TACH measurements for fans are synchronized to particular PWM channels; for example, TACH1 is synchronized to PWM1. TACH3 and TACH4 are both synchronized to PWM3; therefore, PWM3 can drive two fans. Alternatively, PWM3 can be programmed to synchronize TACH2, TACH3, and TACH4 to the PWM3 output. This allows PWM3 to drive two or three fans. In this case, the drive circuitry is as shown in Figure 36 and Figure 37. The SYNC bit in Register 0x62 enables this function. Synchronization is not required in high frequency mode when used with 4-wire fans. 2 kW PWMx Figure 35. Driving a 4-wire Fan Driving Two Fans from PWM3 The ADT7467 has four TACH inputs available for fan speed measurement, but only three PWM drive outputs. If a fourth fan is used in the system, it should be driven from the PWM3 output in parallel with the third fan. Figure 36 shows how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost NPN http://onsemi.com 24 ADT7467 Table 25. SYNC: ENHANCE ACOUSTICS REGISTER 1 (REG. 0X62) Bit Mnemonic <4> SYNC Description 1 Synchronizes TACH2, TACH3, and TACH4 to PWM3. Driving 2-wire Fans The ADT7467 can only support 2-wire fans when low frequency PWM mode is selected in Configuration Register 5, Bit 2. If this bit is not set to 1, the ADT7467 cannot measure the speed of 2-wire fans. Figure 38 shows how a 2-wire fan can be connected to the ADT7467. This circuit allows the speed of a 2-wire fan to be measured, even though the fan has no dedicated TACH signal. A series resistor, RSENSE, in the fan circuit converts the fan commutation pulses into a voltage, which is ac-coupled into the ADT7467 through the 0.01 mF capacitor. On-chip signal conditioning allows accurate monitoring of fan speed. The value of RSENSE depends on the programmed input threshold and the current drawn by the fan. For fans drawing approximately 200 mA, a 2 W RSENSE value is suitable when the threshold is programmed as 40 mV. For fans that draw more current, such as larger desktop or server fans, RSENSE can be reduced for the same programmed threshold. The smaller the threshold programmed, the better, because more voltage is developed across the fan and the fan spins faster. Figure 39 shows a typical plot of the sensing waveform at the TACHx pin. Note that when the voltage spikes (either negative going or positive going) are more than 40 mV in amplitude, the fan speed can be reliably determined. Figure 39.

Signal conditioning in the ADT7467 accommodates the slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The maximum input signal range is 0 V to 5 V, even when VCC is less than 5 V. In the event that these inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 V to 5 V, either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range. Figure 41 to Figure 44 show circuits for most common fan TACH outputs. If the fan TACH output has a resistive pull-up to VCC, it can be connected directly to the fan input, as shown in Figure 41.

With a pull-up voltage of 12 V and a pull-up resistor of less than 1 kW, suitable values for R1 and R2 are 100 kW and 47 kW, respectively. This gives a high input voltage of 3.83 V. If the fan output has a resistive pull-up to 12 V (or another voltage that is greater than 5 V), the fan output can be clamped with a Zener diode, as shown in Figure 42. The Zener diode voltage should be chosen so that it is greater than the VIH of the TACH input but less than 5 V, allowing for the voltage tolerance of the Zener. A value between 3 V and 5 V is suitable. PULL-UP 4.7 kW TYP ZD1* ZENER FAN SPEED COUNTER Figure 43. Fan with Strong TACH.

Instead, the period of the fan revolution is measured by gating an on-chip 90 kHz oscillator into the input of a 16-bit counter for N periods of the fan TACH output (see Figure 45); therefore, the accumulated count is actually proportional to the fan tachometer period and inversely proportional to the fan speed.

The fan tachometer readings are 16-bit values consisting of a 2-byte read from the ADT7467. Table 26. FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT REGISTERS Register Description Default 0x28 TACH1 Low Byte 0x00 0x29 TACH1 High Byte 0x00 0x2A TACH2 Low Byte 0x00 Reading Fan Speed from the ADT7467 The measurement of fan speeds involves a 2-register read for each measurement. The low byte should be read first. This freezes the high byte until both high and low byte registers are read, preventing erroneous TACH readings. The fan tachometer reading registers report the number of 11.11 ms period clocks (90 kHz oscillator) gated to the fan speed counter from the rising edge of the first fan TACH pulse to the rising edge of the third fan TACH pulse, assuming two pulses per revolution are being counted. Because the device is essentially measuring the fan TACH period, the higher the count value, the slower the fan runs. A 16-bit fan tachometer reading of 0xFFFF indicates either that the fan has stalled or is running very slowly (<100 RPM).

Once the number of fan TACH pulses has been determined, it can be programmed into the fan pulses per revolution register (0x7B) for each fan. Alternatively, this register can be used to determine the Because the actual fan TACH period is being measured, falling below a fan TACH limit by 1 sets the appropriate status bit and can be used to generate an SMBALERT. http://onsemi.com 27 ADT7467 number of pulses per revolution output for a given fan. By plotting fan speed measurements at 100% speed with different pulses per revolution setting, the smoothest graph with the lowest ripple determines the correct pulses per revolution value. Table 31.

It spins the fan at 100% PWM duty cycle until two TACH pulses are detected on the TACH input. Then, the PWM duty cycle goes to the expected running value, for example, 33%. The advantage is that fans have different spin-up characteristics and take different times to overcome inertia. The ADT7467 runs the fans just fast enough to overcome inertia and is quieter during spin-up than other fans programmed to spin up for a given spin-up time. Table 29.

During this time, the ADT7467 looks for two TACH pulses. If two TACH pulses are not detected, an interrupt is generated. Using Configuration Register 1 (0x40) Bit 5 (FSPDIS), the functionality of this bit can be changed (see the Disabling Fan Start-up Timeout section). 2-wire Fan Speed Measurements (Low Frequency Mode Only) The ADT7467 is capable of measuring the speed of 2-wire fans, that is, fans without TACH outputs. To do this, the fan must be interfaced as shown in the Driving 2-Wire Fans section. In this case, the TACH inputs should be reprogrammed as analog inputs, AIN. Table 32.

Bits <7:5> of Register 0x5C to Register 0x5E (PWM Configuration) control the behavior of each PWM output.

In automatic fan speed control mode, fan speed is varied with temperature without CPU intervention once initial parameters are set up. The advantage of this is that if the system hangs, it is guaranteed that the system is protected from overheating. The automatic fan speed control incorporates a feature called dynamic TMIN calibration. This feature reduces the design effort required to program the automatic fan speed control loop. For information on programming the automatic fan speed control loop and the dynamic TMIN calibration, see the Automatic Fan Control Overview section. PWM Current Duty Cycle Registers By reading the PWMx current duty cycle registers, the user can keep track of the current duty cycle on each PWM output even when the fans are running in automatic fan speed control mode or acoustic enhancement mode.

If VCCP stays below 0.75 V (the system CPU power rail is not powered up), the ADT7467 assumes the functionality of the default registers after the ADT7467 is addressed via any valid SMBus transaction. If VCC goes high (the system processor power rail is powered up), a fail-safe timer begins to count down. If the ADT7467 is not addressed by a valid SMBus transaction before the fail-safe timeout (4.6 sec) lapses, the ADT7467 drives the fans to full speed. If the ADT7467 is addressed by a valid SMBus transaction after this point, the fans stop and the ADT7467 assumes its default settings and begins normal operation. If VCCP goes high (the system processor power rail is powered up), a fail-safe timer begins to count down. If the ADT7467 is addressed by a valid SMBus transaction before the fail-safe timeout (4.6 sec) lapses, the ADT7467 operates normally, assuming the functionality of all default registers. See the flow chart in Figure 47. Operating from 3.3 V Standby The ADT7467 has been specifically designed to operate from a 3.3 V STANDBY supply. In computers that support S3 and S5 states, the core voltage of the processor is lowered in these states. If using the dynamic TMIN mode, lowering the core voltage of the processor changes the CPU temperature and changes the dynamics of the system under dynamic TMIN control. Likewise, when monitoring THERM, the THERM timer should be disabled during these states. Dynamic TMIN Control Register 1 (0x36) <1> VCCPLO = 1 When the power is supplied from 3.3 V STANDBY and the VCCP voltage drops below the VCCP low limit, the following occurs: 1. Status Bit 1 (VCCP) in Interrupt Status Register 1 is set. 2. SMBALERT is generated if enabled. 3. THERM monitoring is disabled. The THERM timer should hold its value prior to the S3 or S5 state. 4. Dynamic TMIN control is disabled. This prevents TMIN from being adjusted due to an S3 or S5 state. 5. The ADT7467 is prevented from shutting down. ADT7467 is Powered Up Y Once the core voltage, VCCP, goes above the VCCP low limit, everything is re-enabled and the system resumes normal operation.

This mode is useful for in-circuit test equipment at board-level testing. By applying stimulus to the pins included in the XNOR tree, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the system board. Figure 46 shows the signals that are exercised in the XNOR tree test mode. The XNOR tree test is invoked by setting Bit 0 (XEN) of the XNOR tree test enable register (0x6F).

Power-On Flowchart PWM1/XTO Figure 46. XNOR Tree Test http://onsemi.com 30 N ADT7467 Automatic Fan Control Overview Figure 48 shows a top-level overview of the automatic fan control circuitry on the ADT7467. From a systems-level perspective, up to three system temperatures can be monitored and used to control three PWM outputs. The three PWM outputs can be used to control up to four fans. The ADT7467 allows the speed of four fans to be monitored. Each temperature channel has a thermal calibration block, allowing the designer to individually configure the thermal characteristics of each temperature channel. For example, one can decide to run the CPU fan when CPU temperature increases above 60C and to run a chassis fan when the local temperature increases above 45C. At this stage, the designer has not assigned these thermal calibration settings to a particular fan drive (PWM) channel. The right side of Figure 48 shows controls that are fan specific. The designer can individually control parameters such as minimum PWM duty cycle, fan speed failure thresholds, and even ramp control of the PWM outputs. Therefore, automatic fan control ultimately allows gracefully changing fan speed so that it is less perceptible to the system user. The ADT7467 can automatically control the speed of fans based on the measured temperature. This is done independently of CPU intervention once initial parameters are set up. The ADT7467 has a local temperature sensor and two remote temperature channels that can be connected to a CPU on-chip thermal diode (available on Intel Pentium class and other CPUs). These three temperature channels can be used as the basis for automatic fan speed control to drive fans using pulse-width modulation (PWM). Automatic fan speed control reduces acoustic noise by optimizing fan speed according to accurately measured temperature. Reducing fan speed can also decrease system current consumption. The automatic fan speed control mode is very flexible due to the number of programmable parameters, including TMIN and TRANGE. The TMIN and TRANGE values for a temperature channel and, therefore, for a given fan are critical because they define the thermal characteristics of the system. Thermal validation of the system is one of the most important steps in the design process; therefore, these values should be selected carefully.

Automatic Fan Control Block Diagram Dynamic TMIN Control Mode worst-case conditions, and it significantly reduces the time required for system design and validation. In addition to the automatic fan speed control mode, the ADT7467 has a mode that extends the basic automatic fan speed control loop. Dynamic TMIN control allows the ADT7467 to intelligently adapt the system’s cooling solution to optimize system performance or system acoustics, depending on user or design requirements. Use of dynamic TMIN control alleviates the need to design for Designing for Worst-case Conditions System design must always allow for worst-case conditions. In PC design, the worst-case conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: http://onsemi.com 31 ADT7467 misaligned. Too much or too little thermal grease might be used, or variations in application pressure for thermal interface material could affect the efficiency of the thermal solution. Accounting for manufacturing variations in every system is difficult; therefore, the system must be designed for worst-case conditions. Worst-case Altitude A computer can be operated at different altitudes. The altitude affects the relative air density, which alters the effectiveness of the fan cooling solution. For example, comparing 40C air temperature at 10,000 ft. to 20C air temperature at sea level, relative air density is increased by 40%. This means that at a given temperature, the fan can spin 40% slower and make less noise at sea level than it can at 10,000 ft. Worst-case Fan Due to manufacturing tolerances, fan speeds in RPM are normally quoted with a tolerance of 20%. The designer should assume that the fan RPM is 20% below tolerance. This translates to reduced system airflow and elevated system temperature. Note that a difference of 20% in the fans’ tolerance can negatively impact system acoustics because the fans run faster and generate more noise. Worst-case Chassis Airflow The same motherboard can be used in a number of different chassis configurations. The design of the chassis and the physical location of fans and components determine the system thermal characteristics. Moreover, for a given chassis, the addition of add-in cards, cables, and other system configuration options can alter the system airflow and reduce the effectiveness of the system cooling solution. The cooling solution can also be inadvertently altered by the end user. (For example, placing a computer against a wall can block the air ducts and reduce system airflow.) Vents Fan I/O Cards Good CPU Airflow Fan Power Supply CPU Substrate Vents Good Venting = Good Air Exchange TTIM TJ Although a design usually accounts for such worst-case conditions, the system is almost never operated at worst-case conditions. An alternative to designing for the worst case is to use the dynamic TMIN control function. Dynamic TMIN Control Overview Dynamic TMIN control mode builds on the basic automatic fan control loop by adjusting the TMIN value based on system performance and measured temperature. Therefore, instead of designing for the worst case, the system thermals can be defined as operating zones. ADT7467 can self-adjust its fan control loop to maintain either an operating zone temperature or a system target temperature. For example, users can specify that the ambient temperature in a system be maintained at 50C. If the temperature is below 50C, the fans may not run or may run very slowly. If the temperature is higher than 50C, the fans may throttle up. The challenge presented by any thermal design is finding the right settings to suit the system’s fan control solution. This can involve designing for the worst case, followed by weeks of system thermal characterization, and finally fan acoustic optimization (for psychoacoustic reasons). Optimizing the automatic fan control mode involves characterizing the system to determine the best TMIN and TRANGE settings for the control loop and the PWMMIN value that produces the quietest fan speed setting. Using the ADT7467 dynamic TMIN control mode, however, shortens the characterization time and alleviates tweaking the control loop settings because the device can self-adjust during system operation. Dynamic TMIN control mode is operated by specifying the operating zone temperatures required for the system. Associated with this control mode are three operating point registers, one for each temperature channel. This allows the system thermal solution to be broken down into distinct thermal zones. For example, CPU operating temperature is 70C, VRM operating temperature is 80C, and ambient CPU Drive Bays Poor Venting = Poor Air Exchange Worst-case Processor Power Consumption Epoxy qJTIM Figure 50.

Heat sinks may be loose fitting or slightly http://onsemi.com 32 ADT7467 Speed Control Loop section, and then proceed with dynamic TMIN control mode programming. operating temperature is 50C. The ADT7467 dynamically alters the control solution to maintain each zone temperature as closely as possible to its target operating point. Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop To more efficiently understand the automatic fan speed control loop, it is strongly recommended to use the ADT7467 evaluation board and software while reading this section. This section provides the system designer with an understanding of the automatic fan control loop and provides step-by-step guidance on effectively evaluating and selecting critical system parameters. To optimize the system characteristics, the designer should consider several aspects of the system configuration, including the number of fans, where fans are located, and what temperatures are measured. The mechanical or thermal engineer who is tasked with the system thermal characterization should also be involved at the beginning of the process. Operating Point Registers PWM DUTY CYCLE Register 0x33, Remote 1 Operating Point = 0xA4 (100C Default) Register 0x34, Local Operating Point = 0xA4 (100C Default) Register 0x35, Remote 2 Operating Point = 0xA4 (100C Default) TEMPERATURE STEP 1: Hardware Configuration TLOW TMIN Operating TTHERM Point THIGH TRANGE The motherboard sensing and control capabilities should be addressed in the early stages of designing a system, and decisions about how these capabilities are used should involve the system’s thermal/mechanical engineer. Ask the following questions: 1. What ADT7467 functionality will be used? PWM2 or SMBALERT TACH4 fan speed measurement or overtemperature THERM function 5 V voltage monitoring or overtemperature THERM function 12 V voltage monitoring or VID5 input The ADT7467 offers multifunctional pins that can be reconfigured to suit different system requirements and physical layouts. These multifunction pins are software programmable. 2. How many fans will be supported in the system, three or four? This influences the choice of whether to use the TACH4 pin or to reconfigure it for the THERM function. 3. Will the CPU fan be controlled using the ADT7467, or will it run at full speed 100% of the time? Running it at 100% frees up a PWM output, but the system is louder. 4. Where will the ADT7467 be physically located in the system? This influences the assignment of the temperature measurement channels to particular system thermal zones. For example, locating the ADT7467 close to the VRM controller circuitry allows the VRM temperature to be monitored using the local temperature channel. Figure 51. Dynamic TMIN Control Loop Figure 51 shows an overview of the parameters that affect the operation of the dynamic TMIN control loop. Table 37 provides a brief description of each parameter. Table 37. TMIN CONTROL LOOP PARAMETERS Parameter Description TLOW If the temperature drops below the TLOW limit, an error flag is set in a status register and an SMBALERT interrupt can be generated. THIGH If the temperature exceeds the THIGH limit, an error flag is set in a status register and an SMBALERT interrupt can be generated. TMIN The temperature at which the fan turns on in automatic fan speed control mode. Operating Point The target temperature for a particular temperature zone. The ADT7467 attempts to maintain system temperature at approximately the operating point by adjusting the TMIN parameter of the control loop. TTHERM If the temperature exceeds this critical limit, the fans can run at 100% for maximum cooling. TRANGE Programs the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature control slope.

The thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones can be set to drive a single fan. An example would be the fan turning on when the Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60C or when the local temperature exceeds 45C. STEP 2: Configuring the MUX After the system hardware configuration is determined, the fans can be assigned to particular temperature channels. Not only can fans be assigned to individual channels, but the behavior of the fans is also configurable. For example, fans can run using automatic fan control, can run manually (using software control), or can run at the fastest speed calculated by multiple temperature channels. The mux is the bridge between temperature measurement channels and the three PWM outputs.

When set, Bits <7:5> of the Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62) keep the fans running at the PWM minimum duty cycle if the temperature falls below TMIN. TMIN is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on when using automatic fan control mode. The speed at which the fan runs at TMIN is programmed later. The TMIN values chosen are temperature-channel specific, for example, 25C for ambient channel, 30C for VRM temperature, and 40C for processor temperature. TMIN is an 8-bit value, either twos complement or Offset 64, that can be programmed in 1C increments. There is a TMIN register associated with each temperature measurement channel: Remote 1, local, and Remote 2 temperature. Once the TMIN value is exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at the minimum PWM duty cycle. The fan turns off once the temperature has dropped below TMIN − THYST. To overcome fan inertia, the fan spins up until two valid TACH rising edges are counted. See the Fan Start-up Timeout section for more details. In some cases, primarily for psychoacoustic reasons, it is desirable that the fan never TMIN Registers Register 0x67, Remote 1 temperature TMIN = 0x9A (90C) Register 0x68, Local temperature TMIN = 0x9A (90C) Register 0x69, Remote 2 temperature TMIN = 0x9A (90C) Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62) Bit 7 (MIN3) = 0, PWM3 is off (0% PWM duty cycle) when the temperature is below TMIN – THYST.

Understanding the TMIN Parameter STEP 4: PWMMIN for PWM (Fan) Outputs PWM DUTY CYCLE PWMMIN is the minimum PWM duty cycle at which each fan in the system runs. It is also the start speed for each fan in automatic fan control mode when the temperature rises above TMIN. For maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMIN should be as low as possible. Depending on the fan used, the PWMMIN setting is usually in the 20% to 33% duty cycle range. This value can be found through fan validation. 100% PWMMIN 0% TMIN TEMPERATURE Figure 57. PWMMIN Determines Minimum PWM Duty Cycle http://onsemi.com 37 ADT7467 relates to the square root of the PWM duty cycle. Given a PWM square wave as the drive signal, fan speed in RPM approximates to More than one PWM output can be controlled from a single temperature measurement channel. For example, Remote 1 temperature can control PWM1 and PWM2 outputs. If two fans are used on PWM1 and PWM2, each fan’s characteristics can be set up differently. As a result, Fan 1 driven by PWM1 can have a different PWMMIN value than that of Fan 2 connected to PWM2. In Figure 58, PWM1MIN (front fan) is turned on at a minimum duty cycle of 20%, and PWM2MIN (rear fan) turns on at a minimum of 40% duty cycle; however, both fans turn on at the same temperature, defined by TMIN. % fan speed + ǸPWM duty cycle STEP 5: PWMMAX for PWM (Fan) Outputs PWMMAX is the maximum duty cycle that each fan in the system runs at during the automatic fan speed control loop. For maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMAX should be as low as possible but capable of keeping the processor below its maximum temperature limit, even in a worst-case scenario. If the THERM temperature limit is exceeded, the fans are still boosted to 100% for fail-safe cooling. There is a PWMMAX limit for each fan channel. The default value of this register is 0xFF and, therefore, has no effect unless it is programmed. 100% PWM2 PWM1 PWM2MIN 100% PWM1MIN PWM DUTY CYCLE PWM DUTY CYCLE 10 0% TMIN TEMPERATURE Figure 58. Operating Two Fans from a Single Temperature Channel PWMMAX PWMMIN 0% Programming the PWMMIN Registers The PWMMIN registers are 8-bit registers that allow the minimum PWM duty cycle for each output to be configured from 0% to 100%. This allows the minimum PWM duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. The value to be programmed into the PWMMIN register is given by: Value (decimal) = PWMMIN/0.39% Example 1: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 50%, Value (decimal) = 50%/0.39% = 128 (decimal) Value = 128 (decimal) or 0x80 (hexadecimal) Example 2: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 33%, Value (decimal) = 33%/0.39% = 85 (decimal) Value = 85 (decimal)l or 0x54 (hexadecimal) TMIN TEMPERATURE Figure 59. PWMMAX Determines Maximum PWM Duty Cycle Below the THERM Temperature Limit Programming the PWMMAX Registers The PWMMAX registers are 8-bit registers that allow the maximum PWM duty cycle for each output to be configured from 0% to 100%. This allows the maximum PWM duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. The value to be programmed into the PWMMAX register is given by Value (decimal) = PWMMAX/0.39% Example 1: For a maximum PWM duty cycle of 50%, Value (decimal) = 50%/0.39% = 128 (decimal) Value = 128 (decimal) or 0x80 (hexadecimal) Example 2: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 75%, Value (decimal) = 75%/0.39% = 192 (decimal) Value = 192 (decimal) or 0xC0 (hexadecimal) PWMMIN Registers Register 0x64, PWM1 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) Register 0x65 PWM2 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) Register 0x66, PWM3 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) PWMMAX Registers Register 0x38, PWM1 maximum duty cycle = 0xFF (100% default) Register 0x39, PWM2 maximum duty cycle = 0xFF (100% default) Register 0x3A, PWM3 maximum duty cycle = 0xFF (100% default) See the Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle section. Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle The PWM duty cycle does not directly correlate to fan speed in RPM. Running a fan at 33% PWM duty cycle does not equate to running the fan at 33% speed. Driving a fan at 33% PWM duty cycle runs the fan at closer to 50% of its full speed, because fan speed as a percentage of RPM generally http://onsemi.com 38 ADT7467 STEP 6: TRANGE for Temperature Channels TRANGE is the range of temperature over which automatic fan control occurs once the programmed TMIN temperature has been exceeded. TRANGE is a temperature slope, not an arbitrary value, that is, a TRANGE of 40C holds true only for PWMMIN = 33%. If PWMMIN is increased or decreased, the effective TRANGE changes. PWM DUTY CYCLE 100% PWM DUTY CYCLE TRANGE 100% 30C 40C 45C 54C TMIN Figure 62. Increasing PWMMIN Changes Effective TRANGE PWMMIN For a given TRANGE value, the temperature at which the fan runs at full speed, which varies with the PWMMIN value, can be easily calculated. TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC * Min DC) TRANGE /170 where: TMAX is the temperature at which the fan runs full speed. TMIN is the temperature at which the fan turns on. Max DC is the maximum duty cycle (100%) = 255 decimal. Min DC is equal to PWMMIN. TRANGE is the duty PWM duty cycle vs. temperature slope. Example 1: Calculate T, given that TMIN = 30C, TRANGE = 40C, and PWMMIN = 10% duty cycle = 26 (decimal). TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC − Min DC) TRANGE /170 TMAX = 30C + (100% − 10%) 40C/170 TMAX = 30C + (255 − 26) 40C/170 TMAX = 84C (Effective TRANGE = 54C) Example 2: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30C, TRANGE = 40C, and PWMMIN = 25% duty cycle = 64 (decimal). TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC * Min DC) TRANGE /170 TMAX = 30C + (100% * 25%) 40C/170 TMAX = 30C + (255 * 64) 40C/170 TMAX = 75C (Effective TRANGE = 45C) Example 3: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30C, TRANGE = 40C, and PWMMIN = 33% duty cycle = 85 (decimal). TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC * Min DC) TRANGE /170 TMAX = 30C + (100% * 33%) 40C/170 TMAX = 30C + (255 * 85) 40C/170 TMAX = 70C (Effective TRANGE = 40C) Example 4: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30C, TRANGE = 40C, and PWMMIN = 50% duty cycle = 128 (decimal).

TRANGE Parameter Affects Cooling Slope The TRANGE or fan control slope is determined by the following procedure: 1. Determine the maximum operating temperature for that channel (for example, 70C). 2. Through experimentation, determine the fan speed (PWM duty cycle value) that does not exceed the temperature at the worst-case operating points. (For example, 70C is reached when the fans are running at 50% PWM duty cycle.) 3. Determine the slope of the required control loop to meet these requirements. 4. The ADT7467 evaluation software can graphically program and visualize this functionality. Ask your local Analog Devices sales representative for details. 100% PWM DUTY CYCLE 50% 33% 25% 10% 0% 50% 33% 0% TMIN 30C 40C Figure 61. Adjusting PWMMIN Affects TRANGE TRANGE is implemented as a slope, which means that as PWMMIN is changed, TRANGE changes, but the actual slope remains the same. The higher the PWMMIN value, the smaller the effective TRANGE, that is, the fan reaches full speed (100%) at a lower temperature. http://onsemi.com 39 ADT7467 TMAX = 30C + (255 * 128) 40C/170 TMAX = 60C (Effective TRANGE = 30C) where: (Max DC * Min DC) TRANGE /170 is the effective TRANGE value. See the Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle section. Figure 63 shows PWM duty cycle vs. temperature for each TRANGE setting. The lower graph shows how each TRANGE setting affects fan speed vs. temperature. As can be seen from the graph, the effect on fan speed is nonlinear. Selecting a TRANGE Slope The TRANGE value can be selected for each temperature channel: Remote 1, local, and Remote 2 temperature. Bits <7:4> (TRANGE) of Register 0x5F to Register 0x61 define the TRANGE value for each temperature channel. Table 38.

TRANGE vs. Fan Speed Profile (eq. 1) The graphs in Figure 63 assume that the fan starts from 0% PWM duty cycle. The minimum PWM duty cycle, PWMMIN, must be factored in to determine how the loop performs in the system. Figure 64 shows how TRANGE is affected when the PWMMIN value is set to 20%. It can be seen that the fan runs at about 45% fan speed when the temperature exceeds TMIN. Equation 1 holds true only when PWMMIN is equal to 33% PWM duty cycle. Increasing or decreasing PWMMIN changes the effective TRANGE, but the fan control still follows the same PWM duty cycle to temperature slope.

TRANGE and Percentage of Fan Speed Slopes for VRM, Ambient, and CPU Temperature Channels Figure 64. TRANGE and Percentage of Fan Speed Slopes with PWMMIN = 20% Determining TRANGE for Each Temperature Channel STEP 7: TTHERM for Temperature Channels The following example shows how different TMIN and TRANGE settings can be applied to three thermal zones. In this example, the following TRANGE values apply: TRANGE = 80C for ambient temperature TRANGE = 53.3C for CPU temperature TRANGE = 40C for VRM temperature TTHERM is the absolute maximum temperature allowed on a temperature channel. Above this temperature, a component such as the CPU or VRM might be operating beyond its safe operating limit. When the temperature measured exceeds TTHERM, all fans are driven at 100% PWM duty cycle (full speed) to provide critical system cooling. The fans remain running at 100% until the temperature drops below TTHERM minus hysteresis, where hysteresis is the number programmed into the Hysteresis Registers 0x6D and 0x6E. The default hysteresis value is 4C. The TTHERM limit should be considered the maximum worst-case operating temperature of the system. Because exceeding any TTHERM limit runs all fans at 100%, it has significant negative acoustic effects. Ultimately, this limit should be set up as a fail-safe, and users should ensure that it is not exceeded under normal system operating conditions. Note that the TTHERM limits are nonmaskable and affect the fan speed regardless of the configuration of the automatic fan control settings. This allows some flexibility, because a TRANGE value can be selected based on its slope, This example uses the mux configuration described in the Step 2: Configuring the Mux section, with the ADT7467 connected as shown in Figure 55. Both CPU temperature and VRM temperature drive the CPU fan connected to PWM1. Ambient temperature drives the front chassis fan and the rear chassis fan connected to PWM2 and PWM3. The front chassis fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 20%; the rear chassis fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 30%. The CPU fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 10%. 4-wire Fans The control range for 4-wire fans is much wider than that of 2-wire or 3-wire fans. In many cases, 4-wire fans can start with a PWM drive of as little as 20%. http://onsemi.com 41 ADT7467 and a hard limit (such as 70C) can be programmed as TMAX (the temperature at which the fan reaches full speed) by setting TTHERM to that limit (for example, 70C). <7:4>, Remote 1 temperature hysteresis (4C default) <3:0>, local temperature hysteresis (4C default) Register 0x6E, Remote 2 temperature hysteresis register <7:4>, Remote 2 temperature hysteresis (4C default) THERM Limit Registers Register 0x6A, Remote 1 THERM limit = 0xA4 (100C default) Register 0x6B, local THERM limit = 0xA4 (100C default) Register 0x6C, Remote 2 THERM limit = 0xA4 (100C default) Because each hysteresis setting is four bits, hysteresis values are programmable from 1C to 15C. It is recommended that hysteresis values are not programmed to 0C because this disables hysteresis. In effect, this would cause the fans to cycle between normal speed and 100% speed, creating unsettling acoustic noise.

Values of hysteresis are programmable in the range 1C to 15C. Larger values of THYST prevent the fans from chattering on and off. The THYST default value is set at 4C. The THYST setting not only applies to the temperature hysteresis for fan on/off, but also is used for the TTHERM hysteresis value, as described in Step 6: TRANGE for Temperature Channels. Therefore, programming Register 0x6D and Register 0x6E sets the hysteresis for both fan on/off and the THERM function. THYST is the amount of extra cooling a fan provides after the temperature measured drops below TMIN before the fan turns off. The premise for temperature hysteresis (THYST) is that, without it, the fan would merely chatter or cycle on and off repeatedly whenever the temperature hovered near the TMIN setting. The THYST value determines the amount of time needed for the system to cool down or heat up as the fan turns on and http://onsemi.com 42 ADT7467 Hysteresis Registers In some applications, it is required that fans continue to run at PWMMIN, instead of turning off when the temperature drops below TMIN. Bits <7:5> of Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62) allow the fans to be either turned off or kept spinning below TMIN. If the fans are always on, the THYST value has no effect on the fan when the temperature drops below TMIN.

Bit 7 (MIN3) = 1, PWM3 runs at PWM3 minimum duty cycle below TMIN * THYST. Bit 6 (MIN2) = 0, PWM2 is off (0% PWM duty cycle) when the temperature is below TMIN * THYST. Bit 6 (MIN2) = 1, PWM2 runs at PWM2 minimum duty cycle below TMIN * THYST. Bit 5 (MIN1) = 0, PWM1 is off (0% PWM duty cycle) when the temperature is below TMIN * THYST. Bit 5 (MIN1) = 1, PWM1 runs at PWM1 minimum duty cycle below TMIN * THYST. The operating point for each temperature channel is the optimal temperature for that thermal zone. The hotter each zone is allowed to be, the more quiet the system, because the fans are not required to run as fast. The ADT7467 increases or decreases fan speeds as necessary to maintain the operating point temperature, allowing for system-to- system variations and eliminating the need to design for the worst case. If a sensible operating point value is chosen, any TMIN value can be selected in the system characterization. If the TMIN value is too low, the fans run sooner than required and the temperature is below the operating point. In response, the ADT7467 increases TMIN to keep the fans off longer and to allow the temperature zone to approach the operating http://onsemi.com 43 ADT7467 Operating Point Registers point. Likewise, too high a TMIN value causes the operating point to be exceeded, and, in turn, the ADT7467 reduces TMIN to turn the fans on sooner to cool the system.

This reduces fan speed, allowing the system to heat up. An interrupt can be generated when the temperature drops below the low limit. If the temperature increases above the temperature channel’s high limit, TMIN decreases. This increases fan speed to cool down the system. An interrupt can be generated when the temperature rises above the high limit. How Dynamic TMIN Control Works The basic premise is as follows: Set the target temperature for the temperature zone, for example, the Remote 1 thermal diode. This value is programmed to the Remote 1 operating temperature register. As the temperature in that zone (Remote 1 temperature) exceeds the operating point temperature, TMIN is reduced and the fan speed increases. As the temperature drops below the operating point temperature, TMIN is increased and the fan speed is reduced. However, the loop operation is not as simple as described in these steps. A number of conditions govern the situations in which TMIN can increase or decrease. Programming High and Low Limits There are six limit registers; a high limit and a low limit are associated with each temperature channel. These 8-bit registers allow the high and low limit temperatures to be programmed with 1C resolution. Temperature Limit Registers Register 0x4E, Remote 1 temperature low limit = 0x01 default Register 0x4F, Remote 1 temperature high limit = 0x7F default Register 0x50, Local temperature low limit = 0x01 default http://onsemi.com 44 ADT7467 Short Cycle and Long Cycle Remote 1 = CYR1 = Bits <2:0> of Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (Address 0x37) Local = CYL = Bits <5:3> of Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (Address 0x37) Remote 2 = CYR2 = Bits <7:6> of Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 and Bit 0 of Dynamic TMIN Control Register 1 (0x36) The ADT7467 implements two loops: a short cycle and a long cycle. The short cycle takes place every n monitoring cycles. The long cycle takes place every 2n monitoring cycles. The value of n is programmable for each temperature channel. The bits are located at the following register locations: Table 39. CYCLE BIT ASSIGNMENTS Code Short Cycle Long Cycle 000 8 cycles (1 sec) 16 cycles (2 sec) 001 16 cycles (4 sec) 32 cycles (2 sec) 010 32 cycles (4 sec) 64 cycles (8 sec) 011 64 cycles (8 sec) 128 cycles (16 sec) 100 128 cycles (16 sec) 256 cycles (32 sec) 101 256 cycles (32 sec) 512 cycles (64 sec) 110 512 cycles (64 sec) 1024 cycles (128 sec) 111 1024 cycles (128 sec) 2048 cycles (256 sec) Care should be taken when choosing the cycle time. A long cycle time means that TMIN is updated less often. If a system has very fast temperature transients, the dynamic TMIN control loop lags. If a cycle time is chosen that is too fast, the full benefit of changing TMIN might not be realized and will need to change upon the next cycle; in effect, it is overshooting. Some calibration is necessary to identify the most suitable response time. Figure 69 shows the steps taken during the short cycle.

Short Cycle Steps Figure 70 shows the steps taken during the long cycle. programmed operating point minus the hysteresis temperature, TMIN is not adjusted, that is, it remains at its current setting. If measured temperature never drops below the low temperature limit, TMIN is not adjusted. http://onsemi.com 45 ADT7467 THERM LIMIT HIGH TEMP LIMIT OPERATING POINT programmed value of n. This rate also depends on the amount that the temperature has increased between this monitoring cycle and the last monitoring cycle. For example, if the temperature has increased by 1C, then TMIN is reduced by 2C. Decreasing TMIN has the effect of increasing the fan speed, thus providing more cooling to the system. If the temperature slowly increases only in the range (OP1 − Hyst), that is, the change in temperature is 0.25C per short monitoring cycle, TMIN does not decrease. This allows small changes in temperature in the desired operating zone without changing TMIN. The long cycle makes no change to TMIN in the temperature range (OP − Hyst), because the temperature has not exceeded the operating temperature. Once the temperature exceeds the operating temperature, TMIN reduces by 1C per long cycle as long as the temperature remains above the operating temperature. This takes place in addition to the decrease in TMIN that occurs during the short cycle. In Figure 72, because the temperature is increasing at a rate of 0.25C per short cycle, no reduction in TMIN takes place during the short cycle. Once the temperature falls below the operating temperature, TMIN remains fixed, even when the temperature starts to increase slowly, because the temperature only increases at a rate of 0.25C per cycle. HYSTERESIS ACTUAL TEMP LOW TEMP LIMIT TMIN Figure 71. Temperature Between Operating Point and Low Temperature Limit Because neither the operating point minus the hysteresis temperature nor the low temperature limit has been exceeded, the TMIN value is not adjusted and the fan runs at a speed determined by the fixed TMIN and TRANGE values, defined in the automatic fan speed control mode in the Enhancing System Acoustics section. Operating Point Exceeded-TMIN Reduced When the measured temperature is below the operating point temperature minus the hysteresis, TMIN remains the same. Once the temperature exceeds the operating temperature minus the hysteresis (OP1 − Hyst), TMIN decreases during the short cycle (see Figure 69) at a rate determined by the THERM LIMIT HIGH TEMP LIMIT OPERATING POINT HYSTERESIS No change in TMIN here due to any cycle, because T1(n) − T1 (n − 1) 0.25C and T1(n) < OP TMIN stays the same ACTUAL TEMP TMIN LOW TEMP LIMIT OR 0.75C = > TMIN Decrease here due to long cycle only T1(n) − T1 (n − 1) 0.25C and T1(n) > OP TMIN decreases by 1C every long cycle Decrease here due to short cycle only T1(n) − T1 (n − 1) = 0.5C or 0.75C TMIN decreases by 1C every short cycle Figure 72. Effect of Exceeding Operating Point Minus Hysteresis Temperature Increasing the TMIN Cycle TMIN can increase if: The measured temperature falls below the low temperature limit. This means that the user must choose the low limit carefully. It should not be so low that the temperature never falls below it, because TMIN would never increase and the fans would run faster than necessary. When the temperature drops below the low temperature limit, TMIN can increase during the long cycle. Increasing TMIN has the effect of running the fan more slowly and, therefore, more quietly. The long cycle diagram in Figure 70 shows the conditions necessary for TMIN to increase. http://onsemi.com 46 ADT7467 Step 11: Monitoring THERM TMIN is below the high temperature limit. TMIN is Using the operating point limit ensures that the dynamic TMIN control mode operates in the best possible acoustic position and that the temperature never exceeds the maximum operating temperature. Using the operating point limit allows TMIN to be independent of system-level issues because of its self-corrective nature. In PC design, the operating point for the chassis is usually the worst-case internal chassis temperature. The optimal operating point for the processor is determined by monitoring the thermal monitor in the Intel Pentium 4 processor. To do this, the PROCHOT output of the Pentium 4 is connected to the THERM input of the ADT7467. The operating point for the processor can be determined by allowing the current temperature to be copied to the operating point register when the PROCHOT output pulls the THERM input low on the ADT7467. This reveals the maximum temperature at which the Pentium 4 can run before clock modulation occurs. never allowed to exceed the high temperature limit. As a result, the high limit should be chosen carefully because it deter-mines the high limit of TMIN. TMIN is below the operating point temperature. TMIN should never be allowed to increase above the operating point temperature, because the fans would not switch on until the temperature rose above the operating point. The temperature is above TMIN. The dynamic TMIN control is turned off below TMIN. Figure 73 shows how TMIN increases when the current temperature is above TMIN but below the low temperature limit, and how TMIN is below the high temperature limit and below the operating point. Once the temperature rises above the low temperature limit, TMIN remains fixed.

ACTUAL TEMP Table 40. DYNAMIC TMIN CONTROL REGISTER 1 (REG. 0X36) TMIN Figure 73. Increasing TMIN for Quiet Operation Preventing TMIN from Reaching Full Scale TMIN is dynamically adjusted; therefore, it is undesirable for TMIN to reach full scale (127C), because the fan would never switch on. As a result, TMIN is allowed to vary only within a specified range. The lowest possible value for TMIN is –127C (twos complement mode) or −64C (Offset 64 mode). TMIN cannot exceed the high temperature limit. If the temperature is below TMIN, the fan switches off or runs at minimum speed and dynamic TMIN control is disabled.

DYNAMIC TMIN CONTROL REGISTER 1 (REG. 0X36) Mnemonic Description R1T 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 1 temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Automatic Fan Control Overview section. <6> LT 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the local temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Enhancing System Acoustics section. <7> R2T Another way to view the ramp rates is as the time it takes for the PWM output to ramp up from 0% to 100% duty cycle for an instantaneous change in temperature. This can be tested by putting the ADT7467 into manual mode and changing the PWM output from 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. The PWM output takes 35 sec to reach 100% when a ramp rate of 1 time slot is selected. Figure 75 shows remote temperature plotted against PWM duty cycle for enhanced acoustics mode. The ramp rate is set to 48, which corresponds to the fastest ramp rate. Assume that a new temperature reading is available every 115 ms. With these settings, it takes approximately 0.76 sec to go from 33% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full speed). Even though the temperature increases very rapidly, the fan ramps up to full speed gradually. 1 enables the dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 2 temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. R2T = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Enhancing System Acoustics section.

The higher the ramp rate, the faster the fan reaches the newly calculated fan speed. Figure 79 shows the behavior of the PWM output as temperature varies. As the temperature increases, the fan speed ramps up. Small drops in temperature do not affect the ramp-up function because the newly calculated fan speed is higher than the previous PWM value. Enhanced acoustics mode allows the PWM output to be made less sensitive to temperature variations. This is dependent on the ramp rate selected and programmed into the enhanced acoustics registers. 140 120 0 Figure 78.

Any impulses in temperature can cause an impulse in fan noise. For psychoacoustic reasons, the ADT7467 can prevent the PWM output from reacting instantaneously to temperature changes. Enhanced acoustic mode controls the maximum change in PWM duty cycle at a given time. The objective is to prevent the fan from repeatedly cycling up and down, annoying the user. <2:0> ACOU3 selects the ramp rate for PWM3. 000 = 140 sec 001 = 70.4 sec 010 = 47.2 sec 011 = 28 sec 100 = 17.6 sec 101 = 12 sec 110 = 6.4 sec 111 = 3.2 sec <6:4> ACOU2 selects the ramp rate for PWM2. 000 = 140 sec 001 = 70.4 sec 010 = 47.2 sec 011 = 28 sec 100 = 17.6 sec 101 = 12 sec 110 = 6.4 sec 111 = 3.2 sec Acoustic Enhancement Mode Overview Figure 80 shows a top-level overview of the ADT7467 automatic fan control circuitry and where acoustic enhancement fits in. Acoustic enhancement is intended as a postdesign tweak made by a system or mechanical engineer evaluating the best settings for the system. Having determined the optimal settings for the thermal solution, the engineer can adjust the system acoustics. The goal is to implement a system that is acoustically pleasing and does not cause user annoyance due to fan cycling. It is important to realize that although a system may pass an acoustic noise requirement specification (for example, 36 dB), it fails the consumer test if the fan is annoying.

Acoustic Enhancement Smoothes Fan Speed Variations in Automatic Fan Speed Control Approaches to System Acoustic Enhancement cycle values are smoothed, reducing fan speed variation. However, this approach causes an inherent delay in updating fan speed and causes the thermal characteristics of the system to change. It also causes the system fans to run longer than necessary, because the fan’s reaction is merely delayed. The user has no control over noise from different fans driven by the same temperature source. Consider, for example, a system in which control of a CPU cooler fan (on PWM1) and There are two different approaches to implementing system acoustic enhancement: temperature-centric and fan-centric. The ADT7467 uses the fan-centric approach. The temperature-centric approach involves smoothing transient temperatures as they are measured by a temperature source (for example, Remote 1 temperature). The temperature values used to calculate the PWM duty http://onsemi.com 50 ADT7467 a chassis fan (on PWM2) use Remote 1 temperature. Because the Remote 1 temperature is smoothed, both fans are updated at exactly the same rate. If the chassis fan is much louder than the CPU fan, there is no way to improve its acoustics without changing the thermal solution of the CPU cooling fan. The fan-centric approach to system acoustic enhancement controls the PWM duty cycle, driving the fan at a fixed rate (for example, 6%). Each time the PWM duty cycle is updated, it is incremented by a fixed 6%. As a result, the fan ramps smoothly to its newly calculated speed. If the temperature starts to drop, the PWM duty cycle immediately decreases by 6% at every update. Therefore, the fan ramps up or down smoothly without inherent system delay. Consider, for example, controlling the same CPU cooler fan (on PWM1) and chassis fan (on PWM2) using Remote 1 temperature. The TMIN and TRANGE settings have been defined in automatic fan speed control mode; that is, thermal characterization of the control loop has been optimized. Now the chassis fan is noisier than the CPU cooling fan. Using the fan-centric approach, PWM2 can be placed into acoustic enhancement mode independently of PWM1. The acoustics of the chassis fan can, therefore, be adjusted without affecting the acoustic behavior of the CPU cooling fan, even though both fans are controlled by Remote 1 temperature. PWM_OUT 33% Duty Cycle 85 Time Slots 170 Time Slots PWM Output (One Period) = 255 Time Slots Figure 81. 33% PWM Duty Cycle, Represented in Time Slots The ramp rates in the enhanced acoustics mode are selectable from the values 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, and 48. The ramp rates are discrete time slots. For example, if the ramp rate is 8, eight time slots are added or subtracted to increase or decrease, respectively, the PWM high duty cycle. Figure 82 shows how the enhanced acoustics mode algorithm operates. Read Temperature Calculate New PWM Duty Cycle Is New NO Decrement Previous PWM Value > PWM Value Previous by Ramp Rate Value? YES Enabling Acoustic Enhancement for Each PWM Output Increment Previous PWM Value by Ramp Rate Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62) <3> = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM1 output. Enhanced Acoustics Register 2 (0x63) <7> = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM2 output. <3> = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM3 output. Figure 82. Enhanced Acoustics Algorithm The enhanced acoustics mode algorithm calculates a new PWM duty cycle based on the temperature measured. If the new PWM duty cycle value is greater than the previous PWM value, the previous PWM duty cycle value is incremented by 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, or 48 time slots, depending on the settings of the enhanced acoustics registers. If the new PWM duty cycle value is less than the previous PWM value, the previous PWM duty cycle is decremented by 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, or 48 time slots. Each time the PWM duty cycle is incremented or decremented, its value is stored as the previous PWM duty cycle for the next comparison. A ramp rate of 1 corresponds to one time slot, which is 1/255 of the PWM period. In enhanced acoustics mode, incrementing or decrementing by 1 changes the PWM output by 1/255 100%. Effect of Ramp Rate on Enhanced Acoustics Mode The PWM signal driving the fan has a period, T, given by the PWM drive frequency, f, because T = 1/f. For a given PWM period, T, the PWM period is subdivided into 255 equal time slots. One time slot corresponds to the smallest possible increment in the PWM duty cycle. A PWM signal of 33% duty cycle is, therefore, high for 1/3 255 time slots and low for 2/3 255 time slots. Therefore, a 33% PWM duty cycle corresponds to a signal that is high for 85 time slots and low for 170 time slots. http://onsemi.com 51 ADT7467 Register Map Table 42.

VOLTAGE READING REGISTERS (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X00) (Note 1) Register Address R/W Description 0x21 Read Only Reflects the Voltage Measurement (Note 2) at the VCCP Input on Pin 14 (8 MSBs of Reading) 0x22 Read Only Reflects the Voltage Measurement (Note 3) at the VCC Input on Pin 3 (8 MSBs of Reading) 1. If the extended resolution bits of these readings are also being read, the extended resolution registers (0x76, 0x77) must be read first. Once the extended resolution registers have been read, the associated MSB reading registers are frozen until read. Both the extended resolution registers and the MSB registers are frozen. 2. If VCCPLO (Bit 1 of the Dynamic TMIN Control Register 1, 0x36) is set, VCCP can control the sleep state of the ADT7467. 3. VCC (Pin 3) is the supply voltage for the ADT7467. Table 44. TEMPERATURE READING REGISTERS (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X01) (Notes 1, 2) Register Address R/W Description 0x25 Read Only Remote 1 Temperature Reading (Notes 3, 4) (8 MSBs of Reading) 0x26 Read Only Local Temperature Reading (8 MSBs of Reading) 0x27 Read Only Remote 2 Temperature Reading (8 MSBs of Reading) 1. These temperature readings can be in twos complement or Offset 64 format; this interpretation is determined by Bit 0 of Configuration Register 5 (0x7C). 2. If the extended resolution bits of these readings are also being read, the extended resolution registers (0x76, 0x77) must be read first. Once the extended resolution registers have been read, all associated MSB reading registers are frozen until read. Both the extended resolution registers and the MSB registers are frozen. 3. In twos complement mode, a temperature reading of −128C (0x80) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel. 4. In Offset 64 mode, a temperature reading of −64C (0x00) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel. Table 45. FAN TACHOMETER READING REGISTERS (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X00) (Note 1) Register Address R/W Description 0x28 Read Only TACH1 Low Byte 0x29 Read Only TACH1 High Byte 0x2A Read Only TACH2 Low Byte 0x2B Read Only TACH2 High Byte 0x2C Read Only TACH3 Low Byte 0x2D Read Only TACH3 High Byte 0x2E Read Only TACH4 Low Byte 0x2F Read Only TACH4 High Byte 1. These registers count the number of 11.11 ms periods (based on an internal 90 kHz clock) that occur between a number of consecutive fan TACH pulses (default = 2). The number of TACH pulses used to count can be changed using the TACH pulses per revolution register (0x7B). This allows the fan speed to be accurately measured. Because a valid fan tachometer reading requires that two bytes are read, the low byte must be read first. Both the low and high bytes are then frozen until read. At power-on, these registers contain 0x0000 until the first valid fan TACH measurement is read into these registers. This prevents false interrupts from occurring while the fans are spinning up. A count of 0xFFFF indicates that a fan is one of the following: Stalled or blocked (object jamming the fan). Failed (internal circuitry destroyed). Not populated. (The ADT7467 expects to see a fan connected to each TACH. If a fan is not connected to a TACH, the minimum high and low bytes of that TACH should be set to 0xFFFF.) Alternate function (for example, TACH4 reconfigured as THERM pin). 2-wire instead of 3-wire fan. Table 46.

These registers reflect the PWM duty cycle driving each fan at any given time. When in automatic fan speed control mode, the ADT7467 reports the PWM duty cycles through these registers. The PWM duty cycle values vary according to the temperature in automatic fan speed control mode. During fan startup, these registers report 0x00. In software mode, the PWM duty cycle outputs can be set to any duty cycle value by writing to these registers. http://onsemi.com 55 ADT7467 Table 47.

These registers set the target operating point for each temperature channel when the dynamic TMIN control feature is enabled. 2. The fans being controlled are adjusted to maintain temperature about an operating point. 3. These registers become read-only registers when the Configuration Register 1 LOCK bit is set to 1. Any subsequent attempts to write to these registers fail. Table 48. REGISTER 0X36 − DYNAMIC TMIN CONTROL REGISTER 1 (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X00) (Note 1) Bit Name R/W Description <0> CYR2 Read/Write MSB of 3-bit Remote 2 cycle value. The other two bits of the code reside in Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (0x37). These three bits define the delay time, in terms of the number of monitoring cycles, for making subsequent TMIN adjustments in the control loop. The system is associated with thermal time constants that must be found to optimize the response of the fans and the control loop. <1> VCCPLO Read/Write VCCPLO = 1. When the power is supplied from 3.3 V STANDBY and the core voltage (VCCP) drops below its VCCP low limit value (Register 0x46), the following occurs: Status Bit 1 in Interrupt Status Register 1 is set. SMBALERT is generated if enabled. PROCHOT monitoring is disabled. Dynamic TMIN control is disabled. The device is prevented from entering shutdown. Everything is re-enabled once VCCP increases above the VCCPLO limit. <2> PHTR1 Read/Write PHTR1 = 1 copies the Remote 1 current temperature to the Remote 1 operating point register if THERM is asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted, allowing the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. PHTR1 = 0 ignores THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The Remote 1 operating point register reflects its programmed value. <3> PHTL Read/Write PHTL = 1 copies the local channel’s current temperature to the local operating point register if THERM is asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted. This allows the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. PHTL = 0 ignores THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The local temperature operating point register reflects its programmed value. <4> PHTR2 Read/Write PHTR2 = 1 copies the Remote 2 current temperature to the Remote 2 operating point register if THERM is asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted, allowing the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. PHTR2 = 0 ignores THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The Remote 2 operating point register reflects its programmed value. <5> R1T Read/Write R1T = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 1 temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for the zone. R1T = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Fan Speed Control section. <6> LT Read/Write LT = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the local temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for the zone. LT = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Fan Speed Control section. <7> R2T Read/Write R2T = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 2 temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for the zone. R2T = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the Fan Speed Control section. 1.

REGISTER 0X40 − CONFIGURATION REGISTER 1 (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X01) (Note 1) Bit Name R/W Description <0> STRT Read/Write Logic 1 enables monitoring and PWM control outputs based on the limit settings programmed. Logic 0 disables monitoring and PWM control based on the default power-up limit settings. Note that the limit values programmed are preserved even if a Logic 0 is written to this bit and the default settings are enabled. This bit becomes a read-only bit and cannot be changed once Bit 1 (LOCK bit) has been written. All limit registers should be programmed by BIOS before setting this bit to 1. (Lockable) <1> LOCK Write Once Logic 1 locks all limit values to their current settings. Once this bit is set, all lockable registers become read-only registers and cannot be modified until the ADT7467 is powered down and powered up again. This prevents rogue programs such as viruses from modifying critical system limit settings. (Lockable) <2> RDY Read Only This bit is only set to 1 by the ADT7467 to indicate that the device is fully powered up and ready to begin system monitoring. <3> FSPD Read/Write When set to 1, this bit runs all fans at full speed. Power-on default = 0. This bit cannot be locked at any time. <4> VxI Read/Write BIOS should set this bit to a 1 when the ADT7467 is configured to measure current from an ADI ADOPT VRM controller and to measure the CPU’s core voltage. This bit allows monitoring software to display the watts used by the CPU. (Lockable) <5> FSPDIS Read/Write Logic 1 disables fan spin-up for two TACH pulses, and the PWM outputs go high for the entire fan spin-up timeout selected. <6> TODIS Read/Write When this bit is set to 1, the SMBus timeout feature is disabled. This allows the ADT7467 to be used with SMBus controllers that cannot handle SMBus timeouts. (Lockable) <7> VCC Read/Write When this bit is set to 1, the ADT7467 rescales its VCC pin to measure 5 V supply. If this bit is 0, the ADT7467 measures VCC as a 3.3 V supply. (Lockable) 1. This register becomes a read-only register when the Configuration Register 1 LOCK bit is set to 1. Any subsequent attempts to write to this register fail. Table 52. REGISTER 0X41 − INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER 1 (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X00) Bit Name R/W Description <1> VCCP Read Only VCCP = 1 indicates that the VCCP high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register if the error condition has subsided. <2> VCC Read Only VCC = 1 indicates that the VCC high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register if the error condition has subsided. <4> R1T Read Only R1T = 1 indicates that the Remote 1 low or high temperature has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register if the error condition has subsided. <5> LT Read Only LT = 1 indicates that the local low or high temperature has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register if the error condition has subsided. <6> R2T Read Only R2T = 1 indicates that the Remote 2 low or high temperature has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register if the error condition has subsided. <7> OOL Read Only OOL = 1 indicates that an out-of-limit event has been latched in Status Register 2. This bit is a logical OR of all status bits in Status Register 2. Software can test this bit in isolation to determine whether any of the voltage, temperature, or fan speed readings represented by Status Register 2 are out of limit, which eliminates the need to read Status Register 2 at every interrupt or in every polling cycle. http://onsemi.com 58 ADT7467 Table 53. REGISTER 0X42 − INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER 2 (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X00) Bit Name R/W Description <1> OVT Read Only OVT = 1 indicates that one of the THERM overtemperature limits has been exceeded. This bit is cleared upon a read of the status register when the temperature drops below THERM − THYST. <2> FAN1 Read Only FAN1 = 1 indicates that Fan 1 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit is not set when the PWM1 output is off. <3> FAN2 Read Only FAN2 = 1 indicates that Fan 2 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit is not set when the PWM2 output is off. <4> FAN3 Read Only FAN3 = 1 indicates that Fan 3 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit is not set when the PWM3 output is off. <5> F4P Read Only F4P = 1 indicates that Fan 4 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit is not set when the PWM3 output is off. Read/Write When Pin 9 is programmed as a GPIO output, writing to this bit determines the logic output of the GPIO. Read Only If Pin 9 is configured as the THERM timer input for THERM monitoring, then this bit is set when the THERM assertion time exceeds the limit programmed in the THERM limit register (0x7A). <6> D1 Read Only D1 = 1 indicates either an open or short circuit on the Thermal Diode 1 inputs. <7> D2 Read Only D2 = 1 indicates either an open or short circuit on the Thermal Diode 2 inputs.

These registers become read−only registers when the Configuration Register 1 LOCK bit is set to 1. Any subsequent attempts to write to these registers fail. http://onsemi.com 60 ADT7467 Table 59. REGISTER 0X5C, REGISTER 0X5D, AND REGISTER 0X5E − PWM1, PWM2, AND PWM3 CONFIGURATION REGISTERS (POWER-ON DEFAULT = 0X82) Bit Name R/W (Note 1) Description <2:0> SPIN Read/Write These bits control the start-up timeout for PWMx. The PWM output stays high until two valid TACH rising edges are seen from the fan. If there is not a valid TACH signal during the fan TACH measurement immediately after the fan start-up timeout period, the TACH measurement reads 0xFFFF and Status Register 2 reflects the fan fault. If the TACH minimum high and low bytes contain 0xFFFF or 0x0000, the Status Register 2 bit is not set, even if the fan has not started. 000 = No start-up timeout 001 = 100 ms 010 = 250 ms (default) 011 = 400 ms 100 = 667 ms 101 = 1 sec 110 = 2 sec 111 = 4 sec <3> SLOW Read/Write SLOW = 1 makes the ramp rates for acoustic enhancement four times longer. <4> INV Read/Write This bit inverts the PWM output. The default is 0, which corresponds to a logic high output for 100% duty cycle. Setting this bit to 1 inverts the PWM output so that 100% duty cycle corresponds to a logic low output. <7:5> BHVR Read/Write These bits assign each fan to a particular temperature sensor for localized cooling. 000 = Remote 1 temperature controls PWMx (automatic fan control mode). 001 = local temperature controls PWMx (automatic fan control mode). 010 = Remote 2 temperature controls PWMx (automatic fan control mode). 011 = PWMx runs at full speed. 100 = PWMx disabled (default). 101 = fastest speed calculated by local and Remote 2 temperature controls PWMx. 110 = fastest speed calculated by all three temperature channel controls PWMx. 111 = manual mode.

If any temperature measured exceeds its THERM limit, all PWM outputs drive their fans at 100% duty cycle. This is a fail-safe mechanism incorporated to cool the system in the event of a critical overtemperature. It also ensures some level of cooling in the event that software or hardware locks up. If set to 0x80, this feature is disabled. The PWM output remains at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM limit – hysteresis. If the THERM pin is programmed as an output, exceeding these limits by 0.25C can cause the THERM pin to assert low as an output. 2.

Each 4-bit value controls the amount of temperature hysteresis applied to a particular temperature channel. Once the temperature for that channel falls below its TMIN value, the fan remains running at PWMMIN duty cycle until the temperature = TMIN – hysteresis. Up to 15C of hysteresis can be assigned to any temperature channel. The hysteresis value chosen also applies to that temperature channel if its THERM limit is exceeded. If the THERM limit is exceeded, the PWM output being controlled goes to 100% and remains at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM – hysteresis. For acoustic reasons, it is recommended that the hysteresis value not be programmed to less than 4C. Setting the hysteresis value lower than 4C causes the fan to switch on and off regularly when the temperature is close to TMIN. 2.
