ADT7475 D

ADT7475
Remote Thermal Monitor
and Fan Controller
The ADT7475 controller is a thermal monitor and multiple PWM
fan controller for noise-sensitive or power-sensitive applications
requiring active system cooling. The ADT7475 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. The effectiveness of the system’s thermal solution
can be monitored using the THERM input. The ADT7475 also
provides critical thermal protection to the system using the
bidirectional THERM pin as an output to prevent system or
component overheating.

ADT7475
Product Description
The ADT7475 is a complete thermal monitor and multiple
fan controller for any system 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 ADT7475
are performed over the serial bus. In addition, a pin can be
reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to signal
out-of-limit conditions.
specification results in irreversible damage to the ADT7475.
Signal pins (TACH/PWM) should be pulled up or clamped
to 3.6 V maximum. See the Specifications Section for more
information.
Recommended Implementation
Configuring the ADT7475 as shown in Figure 12 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. The
THERM pin can alternatively be programmed as an
SMBALERT system interrupt output.

features while the ADT7475 does not.
Acoustic smoothing is improved on the ADT7475.
THERM can be selected as an output only on the
ADT7475.
The ADT7475 has two additional configuration
registers.
The ADT7475 has other minor register changes.
The ADT7475 is similar to the ADT7473 in that it is

because a low-to-high transition when the clock is high may
be interpreted as a stop signal. The number of data bytes that
can be transmitted over the serial bus in a single read or write
operation is limited only by what the master and slave
devices can handle.
When all data bytes are read or written, stop conditions are
established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line high
during the tenth 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 no acknowledge. The
master takes the data line low during the low period before
On PCs and servers, control of the ADT7475 is carried out
using the SMBus. The ADT7475 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 ADT7475 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, that is, 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

stored in the address pointer register. The second data byte
is the data to write to the internal data register.
When reading data from a register, there are two
possibilities:
1. If the ADT7475 address pointer register value is
unknown or not the desired value, it must first be
set to the correct value before data can be read
from the desired data register. This is done by
performing a write to the ADT7475 as before, but
only the data byte containing the register address
is sent, because no data is written to the register
see Figure 14.
A read operation is then performed consisting of
the serial bus address; the R/W bit set to 1,
followed by the data byte read from the data
register see Figure 15.
2. If the address pointer register is known to be
already at the desired address, data can be read
from the corresponding data register without first
writing to the address pointer register see
Figure 15.
the tenth clock pulse, and then high during the tenth clock
pulse to assert a stop condition.
Any number of bytes of data can be transferred over the
serial bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read
and write in one operation because the type of operation is
determined at the beginning and cannot subsequently be
changed without starting a new operation.
In the ADT7475, write operations contain either one or
two bytes, and read operations contain one byte. To write
data to one of the device data registers or read data from it,
the address pointer register must be set so that the correct
data register is addressed, and then data can be written to that
register or read from it. The first byte of a write operation
always contains an address that is stored in the address
pointer register. If data is to be written to the device, the write
operation contains a second data byte that is written to the
register selected by the address pointer register.
This write operation is shown in Figure 13. 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 to write to, which is

Write Byte
It is possible to read a data byte from a data register
without first writing to the address pointer register if the
address pointer register is already at the correct value.
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 ADT7475 also supports the read byte protocol
(for more information, see System Management Bus
Specifications Rev. 2.0, available from Intel).
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.
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 ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends a data byte.
7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and
the transaction ends.
The byte write operation is shown in Figure 17.
Write Operations
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for
different types of read and write operations. The ones used
in the ADT7475 are discussed in this section. The following
abbreviations are used in the diagrams:
S − Start
P − Stop
R − Read
W − Write
A − Acknowledge
A − No acknowledge

The ADT7475 uses the following SMBus read protocols.
Receive Byte
This operation is useful when repeatedly reading a single
register. The register address must be 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 ACK on SDA.
4. The master receives a data byte.
5. The master asserts NO ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and
the transaction ends.
In the ADT7475, 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 shown in Figure 18.
For the ADT7475, 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 shown in Figure 16.

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

for the nominal input voltage and so has adequate headroom
to deal with overvoltages.
master. If a device’s SMBALERT line goes low, the
following events occur:
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.
2. The master initiates a read operation and sends the
alert response address (ARA = 0001 100). This
general call address 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
device is now known and can be interrogated in
the usual way.
4. 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 ADT7475 has responded to the alert
response address, the master must read the status
registers, and the SMBALERT is cleared only if
the error condition has gone away.
Input Circuitry
The internal structure for the VCCP analog input is shown
in Figure 19. 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.

The ADT7475 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If
there is no SMBus activity for 35 ms, the ADT7475 assumes
that the bus is locked and releases the bus. This prevents the
device from locking or holding the SMBus expecting data.
Some SMBus controllers cannot handle the SMBus timeout
feature, so it can be disabled.

Table 10 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 711Ăms and averages 16 conversions to
reduce noise; a measurement takes nominally 11.38 ms.
Extended Resolution Registers
Voltage Measurement Input
Voltage measurements can be made with higher accuracy
using the extended resolution registers (0x76 and 0x77).
Whenever the extended resolution registers are read, the
corresponding data in the voltage measurement registers is
locked until their data is read. That is, if extended resolution
is required, then the extended resolution register must be
read first, immediately followed by the appropriate voltage
measurement register.
The ADT7475 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). The
VCCP input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage
in computer systems.
Analog-to-Digital Converter
All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip,
successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter. This
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

ADT7475
Temperature Measurement Method
However, this exceeds the operating temperature range of
the device, so local temperature measurements outside the
ADT7475 operating temperature range are not possible.
Local Temperature Measurement
The ADT7475 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 temperature
registers (0x25, 0x26, and 0x27). 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 11 and Table 12.
Theoretically, the temperature sensor and ADC can
measure temperatures from −128°C to +127°C (or −64°C to
+191°C in the extended temperature range) with a
resolution of 0.25°C.

Remote Temperature Measurement
The ADT7475 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. Because the
absolute value of VBE varies from device to device and
individual calibration is required to null this out, the
technique is unsuitable for mass production.

Figure 20. Signal Conditioning for Remote Diode Temperature Sensors
To measure DVBE, the sensor is switched between
operating currents of I and N × I. The resulting waveform is
passed through a 65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise and
to a chopper stabilized amplifier that performs the functions
of amplification and rectification of the waveform to
produce a dc voltage proportional to DVBE. This voltage is
measured by the ADC to give a temperature output in 10-bit,
twos complement format. To further reduce the effects of
noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results
of 16 measurement cycles.
A remote temperature measurement takes nominally
38 ms. The results of remote temperature measurements are
stored in 10-bit, twos complement format, as shown in
Table 11. The extra resolution for the temperature
measurements is held in the Extended Resolution Register 2
(0x77). This gives temperature readings with a resolution of
0.25°C.
The technique used in the ADT7475 is to measure the
change in VBE when the device is operated at two different
currents.
This is given by:
DV BE + kTńq
ln(N)
(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.
Figure 20 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.
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 to the
D+ input. If an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is
connected to the D− input and the base to the D+ input.
Figure 21 and Figure 22 show how to connect the ADT7475
to an NPN or PNP transistor for temperature measurement.
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.
Noise Filtering
For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments,
previous practice was to place a capacitor across the D+ pin
and D− pin to help combat the effects of noise. However,
large capacitance’s affect the accuracy of the temperature
measurement, leading to a recommended maximum
capacitor value of 1,000 pF.
This capacitor reduces the noise but does not eliminate it.
Sometimes, this sensor noise is a problem in a very noisy
environment. In most cases, a capacitor is not required

because differential inputs, by their very nature, have a high
immunity to noise.
algebraic sum of these offsets must be programmed to
the offset register.
If a discrete transistor is used with the ADT7475, the best
accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according to the
following criteria:
• Base-emitter voltage greater than 0.25ĂV at 11ĂmA, at
the highest operating temperature.
• Base-emitter voltage less than 0.95ĂV at 180ĂmA, at the
lowest operating temperature.
• Base resistance less than 100 W.
• Small variation in hFE (approximately 50 to 150) that
indicates tight control of VBE characteristics.

The ADT7475 is designed to work with either substrate
transistors built into processors or with 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
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 ADT7475 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 data sheet for
the nf values.

To factor this in, the user can write the DT value to the
offset register. The ADT7475 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 ADT7475, IHIGH, is 180ĂmA and the
low level current, ILOW, is 11ĂmA. If the ADT7475
current levels do not match the current levels specified
by the CPU manufacturer, it might be necessary to
remove an offset. The CPU’s data sheet advises
whether this offset needs to be removed and how to
calculate it. This offset can be programmed to the offset

ADT7475
Nulling Out Temperature Errors
Temperature Measurement Limit Registers
As CPUs run faster, it is more difficult to avoid high
frequency clocks when routing the D+/D– traces around a
system board. Even when recommended layout guidelines
are followed, some temperature errors can still be
attributable to noise coupled onto the D+/D– lines. Constant
high frequency noise usually attenuates, or increases,
temperature measurements by a linear, constant value.
The ADT7475 has two temperature offset registers,
Register 0x70 and Register 0x72, for the Remote 1 and
Remote 2 temperature channels. By doing a one-time
calibration of the system, the user can determine the offset
caused by system board noise and null it out using the offset
registers. The offset registers automatically add a twos
complement 8-bit reading to every temperature measurement.
Changing Bit 1 of Configuration Register 5 (0x7C)
changes the resolution and therefore the range of the
temperature offset as either having a range of –63°C to
+127°C, with a resolution of 1°C, or having a range of −63°C
to +64°C, with a resolution of 0.5°C. This temperature offset
can be used to compensate for linear temperature errors
introduced by noise.
Associated with each temperature measurement channel
are high and low limit registers. Exceeding the programmed
high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set.
Exceeding either limit can also generate SMBALERT
interrupts (depending on the way the interrupt mask register
is programmed and assuming that SMBALERT is set as an
output on the appropriate pin).

value registers (0x25, 0x26, and 0x27) in twos complement
in the range −128°C to +127°C. The temperature limits must
be reprogrammed in twos complement.
If a twos complement temperature below −128°C is
entered, the temperature is clamped to −128°C. In this mode,
the diode fault condition remains −128°C = 1000 0000, while
in the extended temperature range (−64°C to +191°C), the
fault condition is represented by −64°C = 0000 0000.

Turn-off Averaging
For each temperature measurement read from a value
register, 16 readings have actually been made internally, and
the results averaged, before being placed into the value
register. Sometimes it is necessary to take a very fast
measurement. Setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2
(0x73) turns averaging off. The default round-robin cycle
time takes 146.5 ms.

It is important to note that temperature can be read from
the ADT7475 as an 8-bit value (with 1°C resolution) or as
a 10-bit value (with 0.25°C resolution). If only 1°C
resolution is required, the temperature readings can be read
back at any time and in no particular order.
If the 10-bit measurement is required, this involves a
two-register read for each measurement. The Extended
Resolution Register 2 (0x77) should be read first. This
causes all temperature reading registers to be frozen until all
temperature reading registers have been read from. This
prevents an MSB reading from being updated while its two
LSBs are being read and vice versa.

Overtemperature Events
Overtemperature events on any of the temperature
channels can be detected and dealt with automatically in
automatic fan speed control mode. Register 0x6A to
Register 0x6C are the THERM temperature limit registers.
When a temperature exceeds its THERM temperature limit,
all PWM outputs run at the maximum PWM duty cycle
(Register 0x38, Register 0x39, and Register 0x3A).
This effectively runs the fans at the fastest allowed speed.
The fans run at this speed until the temperature drops
below THERM minus hysteresis. This can be disabled by
setting the boost bit in Configuration Register 3 (0x78),
Bit 2. The hysteresis value for the THERM temperature
limit is the value programmed into Register 0x6D and
Register 0x6E (hysteresis registers). The default hysteresis
value is 4°C.

of interest, because the most recently measured value of any
input can be read out at any time.
For applications where the monitoring cycle time is
important, it can easily be calculated. The total number of
channels measured is
• One Dedicated Supply Voltage Input (VCCP Pin)
• Supply Voltage (VCC Pin)
• Local Temperature
• Two Remote Temperatures
The fan TACH measurements are 16-bit results. The fan
TACH limits are also 16 bits, consisting of a high byte and
low byte. Because fans running under speed or stalled are
normally the only conditions of interest, only high limits
exist for fan TACHs. Because the fan TACH period is
actually being measured, exceeding the limit indicates a
slow or stalled fan.

As mentioned previously, the ADC performs round-robin
conversions. The total monitoring cycle time for averaged
voltage and temperature monitoring is 146 ms. The total
monitoring cycle time for voltage and temperature
monitoring with averaging disabled is 19 ms. The
ADT7475 is a derivative of the ADT7467. As a result, the
total conversion time in the ADT7475 is the same as the total
conversion time of the ADT7467.
Fan TACH measurements are made in parallel and are not
synchronized with the analog measurements in any way.
Out-of-Limit Comparisons
Interrupt Status Registers
Once all limits have been programmed, the ADT7475 can
be enabled for monitoring. The ADT7475 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.
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-limits, 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 needs only to read
Interrupt Status Register 2 when this bit is set. Alternatively,
Pin 5 or Pin 9 can be configured as an SMBALERT output.
This automatically notifies the system supervisor of an
out-of-limit condition. Reading the status registers clears the
appropriate status bit as long as the error condition that
caused the interrupt has cleared.
Status register bits are sticky. Whenever a status bit is set,
indicating an out-of-limit condition, it remains set even if the
event that caused it has gone away (until read). The only way
to clear the status bit is to read the status register after the
event has gone away. Interrupt status mask registers (0x74
and 0x75) allow individual interrupt sources to be masked
from causing an SMBALERT. However, if one of these
masked interrupt sources goes out-of-limit, its associated
status bit is set in the interrupt status registers.
High Limit > Comparison Performed
Low Limit ≤ Comparison Performed
Voltage and temperature channels use a window
comparator for error detecting and, therefore, have high and
low limits. Fan speed measurements use only a low limit.
This fan limit is needed only in manual fan control mode.
Analog Monitoring Cycle Time
The analog monitoring cycle begins when a 1 is written to
the start bit (Bit 0) of Configuration Register 1 (0x40).
By default, the ADT7475 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 taken to monitor all the analog inputs is normally not

ADT7475
Figure 24 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 for the entire duration that a reading is
out-of-limit and until the interrupt status register has been
read. This has implications for how software handles the
interrupt.

Handling SMBALERT Interrupts
To prevent the system from being tied up servicing
interrupts, it is recommended 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
(0x74 and 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 25.

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 ADT7475 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 works only 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, pulling the THERM low
externally has no effect. See Figure 26 for more information.

THERM Timer
The ADT7475 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 ADT7475’s
THERM input and stopped when THERM is un-asserted.
The timer counts THERM times cumulatively, that is, the
timer resumes counting on the next THERM assertion. The
THERM timer continues to accumulate THERM assertion
times until the timer is read (it is cleared on 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 status register (0x79) is designed
so that the Bit 0 is set to 1 on the first THERM assertion. Once
the cumulative THERM assertion time has exceeded
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 27.

ADT7475
If the THERM timer value exceeds the THERM timer
limit value, then the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Interrupt Status
Register 2 is set, and an SMBALERT is generated. Note that
the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Interrupt Mask Register 2 (0x75)
masks out SMBALERTs if this bit is set to 1, although the
F4P bit of Interrupt Status Register 2 is still set if the
THERM timer limit is exceeded.
Figure 28 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 on the first THERM assertion. A
THERM timer limit value of 0x01 generates an SMBALERT
once cumulative THERM assertions exceed 45.52 ms.
Alternatively, OS- or BIOS-level software can
time-stamp when the system is powered on. If an
SMBALERT is generated due to the THERM timer
limit being exceeded, another time-stamp can be
taken. The difference in time can be calculated for a
fixed THERM timer limit time. For example, if it
takes one week for a THERM timer limit of
2.914 seconds to be exceeded and the next time it
takes only one hour, this is an indication of a
serious degradation in system performance.
Configuring the THERM Pin as an Output
In addition to monitoring THERM as an input, the
ADT7475 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 pre-program system-critical thermal limits. If the
temperature exceeds a thermal limit by 0.25°C, 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,
after THERM asserts, it is guaranteed to remain low for at
least one monitoring cycle.
The THERM pin can be configured to assert low if the
Remote 1, local, or Remote 2 THERM temperature limit is
exceeded by 0.25°C. The THERM temperature limit
registers are at Register 0x6A, Register 0x6B, and
Register 0x6C. 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 29 shows how
the THERM pin asserts low as an output in the event of a
critical over temperature.
Configuring the THERM Behavior
1. Configure the relevant pin as the THERM timer
input. Setting Bit 1 (THERM) 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 (PIN9FUNC) 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
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.
Bit 5 (F4P) of Interrupt Mask Register 2 (0x75),
when set, masks out SMBALERTs when the
THERM timer limit value is exceeded. This bit
should be cleared if SMBALERTs based on
THERM events are required.
4. Select a suitable THERM limit value.
This value determines whether an SMBALERT is
generated on the first THERM assertion or only if
a cumulative THERM assertion time limit is
exceeded. A value of 0x00 causes an SMBALERT
to be generated on 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,
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 s in Hour 3, this can indicate that system
performance is degrading significantly because
THERM is asserting more frequently on an hourly
basis.

Figure 30 uses a 10 kW pullup 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 3.6 V maximum to prevent
damaging the ADT7475. 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 31 shows a fan drive circuit using an NPN
transistor such as a general-purpose MMBT2222. While
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 so that the transistor
is saturated when the fan is powered on.
Fan Drive Using PWM Control
The ADT7475 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 pullup resistor. In many cases,
the 4-wire fan PWM input has a built-in pullup resistor.
The ADT7475 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 3-wire fans,
while the high frequency option is usually used with 4-wire
fans.
For 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, so
SOT devices can be used where board space is a concern. In
desktops, fans can typically draw 250 mA to 300 mA each.
If several fans are driven 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 should
have a gate voltage drive, VGS < 3.3 V, for direct interfacing
to the PWM output pin. 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

not required to source current and that they sink less than the
8 mA maximum current specified on the data sheet.

Driving up to Three Fans from PWM3
2 kW
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, so 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 looks the same, 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.

The ADT7475 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 33 shows
how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost NPN
transistors. Figure 34 shows the equivalent circuit using a
MOSFET.

Pin 4, Pin 6, Pin 7, and Pin 9, when configured as TACH
inputs, are open-drain TACH inputs intended for fan speed
measurement.
Signal conditioning in the ADT7475 accommodates the
slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The
maximum input signal range is 0 V to 3.6 V. In the event these
inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 V to 3.6 V,
either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping
must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range.
Figure 35 to Figure 38 show circuits for most common fan
TACH outputs. If the fan TACH output has a resistive pullup
to VCC, it can be connected directly to the fan input, as shown
in Figure 35.

input but less than 3.6 V, allowing for the voltage tolerance of
the Zener. A value between 3.0 V and 3.6 V is suitable.
The fan counter does not count the fan TACH output
pulses directly because the fan speed could be less than
1,000 RPM and it would take several seconds to accumulate
a reasonably large and accurate count. 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 39), so the accumulated
count is actually proportional to the fan tachometer period
and inversely proportional to the fan speed.
N, the number of pulses counted, is determined by the
settings of Register 0x7B (TACH Pulses per Revolution
register). This register contains two bits for each fan,
allowing one, two (default), three, or four TACH pulses to
be counted.

Measuring Fan TACH
When the ADT7475 starts up, TACH measurements are
locked. In effect, an internal read of the low byte has been
made for each TACH input. The net result of this is that all
TACH readings are locked until the high byte is read from the
corresponding TACH registers. All TACH related interrupts
are also ignored until the appropriate high byte is read.
Once the corresponding high byte has been read, TACH
measurements are unlocked and interrupts are processed as
normal.

The fan inputs can have an input resistance of 160 kW to

calculating resistor values.
With a pullup voltage of 12 V and pullup resistor less than
1 kW, suitable values for R1 and R2 would be 100 kW and
33 kW, respectively. This gives a high input voltage of
2.95 V.

ADT7475
Reading Fan Speed from the ADT7475
Example
The measurement of fan speeds involves a 2-register read
for each measurement. The low byte should be read first.
This causes the high byte to be frozen until both high and low
byte registers have been read, preventing erroneous TACH
readings. The fan tachometer reading registers report back
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 is actually running. A 16-bit fan tachometer reading of
0xFFFF indicates that the fan either has stalled or is running
very slowly (<100 RPM).
High Limit > Comparison Performed
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.
TACH1 High Byte (Register 0x29) = 0x17
TACH1 Low Byte (Register 0x28) = 0xFF
What is Fan 1 speed in RPM?
Fan 1 TACH Reading = 0x17FF = 6143 (decimal)
RPM = (f × 60)/Fan 1 TACH Reading
RPM = (90,000 × 60)/6143
Fan Speed = 879 RPM
Fan Pulses per Revolution
Different fan models can output either 1, 2, 3, or 4 TACH
pulses per revolution. Once the number of fan TACH pulses
has been determined, it can be programmed into the TACH
Pulses per Revolution register (Register 0x7B) for each fan.
Alternatively, this register can be used to determine the
number or pulses per revolution output by 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.
Fan TACH Limit Registers
The fan TACH limit registers are 16-bit values consisting

The fan TACH readings are normally updated once every

(0x78), when set, updates the fan TACH readings

If any of the fans are not being driven by a PWM channel
but are powered directly from 5.0 V or 12 V, their associated
dc bit in Configuration Register 3 should be set. This allows
TACH readings to be taken on a continuous basis for fans
connected directly to a dc source. For optimal results, the
associated dc bit should always be set when using 4-wire
fans.

Fan Spin-up
The ADT7475 has a unique fan spin-up function. It spins
the fan at 100% PWM duty cycle until two TACH pulses are
detected on the TACH input. Once two TACH pulses have
been detected, 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 ADT7475 runs the fans just
fast enough to overcome inertia and is quieter on spin-up
than fans programmed to spin up for a given spin-up time.
Calculating Fan Speed
Fan Startup Timeout
Assuming a fan with a two pulses per revolution (and two
pulses per revolution being measured), fan speed is
calculated by the following:
Fan Speed (RPM) = (90,000 × 60)/Fan TACH Reading
To prevent the generation of false interrupts as a fan spins
up (because it is below running speed), the ADT7475
includes a fan startup timeout function. During this time, the
ADT7475 looks for two TACH pulses. If two TACH pulses
are not detected, an interrupt is generated. Using
Configuration Register 1 (0x40), Bit 5 (FSPDIS), this

Fan Speed Control
functionality can be changed (see the Disabling Fan Startup
Timeout section).
The ADT7475 controls fan speed using automatic mode
and manual mode as follows:
• In automatic fan speed control mode, fan speed is
automatically varied with temperature and without CPU
intervention, once initial parameters are set up. The
advantage of this is, if the system hangs, the user is
guaranteed that the system is protected from overheating.
For more information about how to program
the automatic fan speed control loop, see the
Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop
section.
• In manual fan speed control mode, the ADT7475 allows
the duty cycle of any PWM output to be manually
adjusted. This can be useful if the user wants to change
fan speed at the software level or adjust PWM duty
cycle output for test purposes. Bits <7:5> of
Register 0x5C to Register 0x5E (PWM configuration)
control the behavior of each PWM output.

Although fan startup makes fan spin-ups much quieter

spin-up times. Setting Bit 5 (FSPDIS) to 1 in Configuration
Register 1 (0x40) disables the spin-up for two TACH pulses.
Instead, the fan spins up for the fixed time as selected in
Register 0x5C to Register 0x5E.

and selecting critical system parameters. To optimize the
system characteristics, the designer needs to give some
thought to system configuration, including the number of
fans, where they are located, and what temperatures are
being measured in the particular system.
The mechanical or thermal engineer who is tasked with
the system thermal characterization should also be involved
at the beginning of this process.
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. The thermal validation of the system is one of the
most important steps in the design process, so select these
values carefully.
Figure 42 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan
control circuitry on the ADT7475. 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
ADT7475 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, the designer can decide to run the CPU fan
when CPU temperature increases above 60°C and a chassis
fan when the local temperature increases above 45°C. At this
stage, the designer has not assigned these thermal calibration
settings to a particular fan drive (PWM) channel. The right
side of Figure 42 shows controls that are fan-specific. The
designer has individual control over parameters such as
minimum PWM duty cycle, fan speed failure thresholds,
and even ramp control of the PWM outputs. Automatic fan
control, then, ultimately allows graceful fan speed changes
that are less perceptible to the system user.
Automatic Fan Control Overview
The ADT7475 can automatically control the speed of fans
based upon the measured temperature. This is done
independently of CPU intervention once initial parameters
are set up.
The ADT7475 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
owing to the number of programmable parameters,

Step 1: Hardware Configuration
This influences the choice of whether to use the
TACH4 pin or to reconfigure it for the THERM
function.
3. Is the CPU fan to be controlled using the
ADT7475 or will it run at full speed 100% of the
time?
If run at 100%, this frees up a PWM output, but
the system is louder.
4. Where will the ADT7475 be physically located in
the system?
This influences the assignment of the temperature
measurement channels to particular system
thermal zones. For example, locating the
ADT7475 close to the VRM controller circuitry
allows the VRM temperature to be monitored
using the local temperature channel.
During system design, the motherboard sensing and
control capabilities should be addressed early in the design
stages. Decisions about how these capabilities are used
should involve the system thermal/mechanical engineer.
Ask the following questions:
1. What ADT7475 functionality will be used?
• PWM2 or SMBALERT?
• TACH4 fan speed measurement or
overtemperature THERM function?
The ADT7475 offers multifunctional pins that can
be reconfigured to suit different system
requirements and physical layouts. These
multifunction pins are software programmable.

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 be run under automatic fan control, manually under
software control, or at the fastest speed calculated by
multiple temperature channels. The mux is the bridge
between temperature measurement channels and the three
PWM outputs.
Bits <7:5> (BHVR) of Register 0x5C, Register 0x5D,
and Register 0x5E (PWM configuration registers) control
the behavior of the fans connected to the PWM1, PWM2,
and PWM3 outputs. The values selected for these bits
determine how the mux connects a temperature
measurement channel to a PWM output.
The fastest speed calculated options pertain to controlling
one PWM output based on multiple temperature channels.
The thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones
can be set to drive a single fan. An example is the fan turning
on when Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60°C or when the
local temperature exceeds 45°C.

Step 3: TMIN Settings for Thermal Calibration Channels
Table 40. TMIN REGISTERS
TMIN is the temperature at which the fans turn on under
automatic fan control. The speed at which the fan runs at
TMIN is programmed later in the process. The TMIN values
chosen are temperature channel specific, for example, 25°C
for ambient channel, 30°C for VRM temperature, and 40°C
for processor temperature.
TMIN is an 8-bit value, either twos complement or
Offset 64, that can be programmed in 1°C increments. There
is a TMIN register associated with each temperature
measurement channel: Remote 1, local, and Remote 2
temperatures. 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 is spun up until two valid
TACH rising edges are counted. See the Fan Startup
Timeout Section for more details. In some cases, primarily
for psycho-acoustic reasons, it is desirable that the fan never
switch off below TMIN. Bits <7:5> of Enhanced Acoustics
Register 1 (0x62), when set, keep the fans running at the
PWM minimum duty cycle, if the temperature should fall
below TMIN.

Step 4: PWMMIN for Each PWM (Fan) Output
PWMMIN is the minimum PWM duty cycle at which each
fan in the system runs. It is also the start speed for each fan
under automatic fan control once 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.

Figure 50. Operating Two Different Fans from a
Single Temperature Channel
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 different fans are used on PWM1 and PWM2,
the fan characteristics can be set up differently. As a result,
Fan 1 driven by PWM1 can have a different PWMMIN value
than Fan 2 connected to PWM2. Figure 50 illustrates this as
PWM1MIN (front fan) turns on at a minimum duty cycle of
20%, while PWM2MIN (rear fan) turns on at a minimum of

Programming the PWMMIN Registers
The PWMMIN registers are 8-bit registers that allow the
minimum PWM duty cycle for each output to be configured
anywhere 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
TMIN
Programming the PWMMAX Registers
The PWMMAX registers are 8-bit registers that allow the
maximum PWM duty cycle for each output to be configured
anywhere 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 2
For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 33%,
Value (decimal) = 33/0.39 = 85 (decimal)
Value = 85 (decimal) or 54 (hex)

Note on Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle
Example 2
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 actually runs the fan at closer to 50%
of its full speed. This is because fan speed in %RPM
generally 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:

Step 6: TRANGE for Temperature Channels
PWMMAX is the maximum duty cycle that each fan in the
system runs at under the automatic fan speed control loop.
For maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMAX should be
as low as possible but should be capable of maintaining the
processor temperature limit at an acceptable level. 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 all PWMMAX registers is 0xFF.
TRANGE is the range of temperature over which automatic
fan control occurs once the programmed TMIN temperature
has been exceeded. TRANGE is the temperature range
between PWMMIN and 100% PWM where the fan speed
changes linearly. Otherwise stated, it is the line drawn
between the TMIN/PWMMIN and the (TMIN + TRANGE)
/PWM 100% intersection points.

The TRANGE is determined by the following procedure:

2. Determine, experimentally, the fan speed (PWM
duty cycle value) that does not exceed the
temperature at the worst-case operating points.
(For example, 70°C is reached when the fans are
running at 50% PWM duty cycle.)
3. Determine the slope of the required control loop to

The graphs in Figure 56 assume that the fan starts from

cycle, PWMMIN, needs to be factored in to see how the loop
actually performs in the system. Figure 57 shows how
TRANGE is affected when the PWMMIN value is set to 20%.
It can be seen that the fan actually runs at about 45% fan
speed when the temperature exceeds TMIN.

While the automatic fan control algorithm describes the
general response of the PWM output, the enhanced acoustics
registers (0x62 and 0x63) can be used to set/clamp the
maximum rate of change of PWM output for a given
temperature zone. This means if TRANGE is programmed
with a steep AFC slope, a relatively small change in
temperature can cause a large change in PWM output and an
audible change in fan speed, which may be noticeable/
annoying to users. Decreasing the PWM output’s maximum
rate of change, by programming the smoothing on the
appropriate temperature channels (Register 0x62 and
Register 0x63), clamps the fan speed’s maximum rate of
change in the event of a temperature spike. The PWM duty
cycle increases slowly until the PWM duty cycle reaches the
appropriate duty cycle as defined by the AFC curve.
Figure 56 shows PWM duty cycle versus 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 non-linear.

Ambient temperature drives the front chassis fan and 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%.
Note that the control range for 4-wire fans is much wider
than that for 3-wire fans. In many cases, 4-wire fans can start
with a PWM drive of as little as 20% or less. In extreme
cases, some 3-wire fans do not run unless a PWM drive of
60% or more is applied.

number programmed into the hysteresis registers (0x6D and
0x6E). The default hysteresis value is 4°C.
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
very negative acoustic effects. Ultimately, this limit should
be set up as a fail-safe, and the designer should ensure that
it is not exceeded under normal system operating conditions.
Note that TTHERM limits are non-maskable and affect the
fan speed no matter how automatic fan control settings are
configured. This allows some flexibility because a TRANGE
value can be selected based on its slope, while a hard limit
(such as 70°C) can be programmed as TMAX (the
temperature at which the fan reaches full speed) by setting
TTHERM to that limit (for example, 70°C).

Step 7: TTHERM for Temperature Channels
Because each hysteresis setting is four bits, hysteresis
values are programmable from 1°C to 15°C. It is not
recommended that hysteresis values ever be programmed to
0°C because this disables hysteresis. In effect, this causes the
fans to cycle (during a THERM event) between normal
speed and 100% speed or, while operating close to TMIN,
between normal speed and off, creating unsettling acoustic
noise.
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 drive at 100% PWM
duty cycle (full speed) to provide critical system cooling.
The fans remain running at 100% until the temperature
drops below TTHERM − hysteresis, where hysteresis is the

Figure 59. How TTHERM Relates to Automatic Fan Control
Step 8: THYST for Temperature Channels
REAR CHASSIS
TTHERM hysteresis value, 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.
In some applications, it is required that fans not turn off
below TMIN but remain running at PWMMIN. Bits<7:5> of
Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62) allow the fans to be
turned off or to be 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.
THYST is the amount of extra cooling a fan provides after
the temperature measured has dropped back 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 regularly, whenever the
temperature is hovering at about the TMIN setting.
The THYST value chosen determines the amount of time
needed for the system to cool down or heat up as the fan turns
on and off. Values of hysteresis are programmable in the
range 1°C to 15°C. Larger values of THYST prevent the fans
from chattering on and off. The THYST default value is set
at 4°C.
The THYST setting applies not only to the temperature
hysteresis for fan on/off, but the same setting is used for the
THERM Hysteresis
Any hysteresis programmed via Register 0x6D and
Register 0x6E also applies to hysteresis on the appropriate
THERM channel.

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:
Bit 1 in Interrupt Status Register 1 is set.
SMBALERT is generated, if enabled.
PROCHOT monitoring is disabled.
Everything is re-enabled once VCCP increases above the VCCP low limit.
When VCCP increases above the low limit:
PROCHOT monitoring is enabled.
Fans return to their programmed state after a spin-up cycle.

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 read, the extended resolution registers (0x76 and 0x77) must be read first. Once
the extended resolution registers are 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 −128°C (0x80) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel.
4. In Offset 64 mode, a temperature reading of −64°C (0x00) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel.

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 be 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 ADT7475 expects to see a fan connected to each TACH. If a fan is not connected to that TACH, its TACH minimum
high and low bytes should be set to 0xFFFF.)
• Alternate function, for example, TACH4 reconfigured as a THERM pin.).

1. 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 a THERM

1. 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 15°C 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. The PWM output being controlled goes to 100%, if the THERM limit is exceeded 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 4°C.
Setting the hysteresis value lower than 4°C causes the fan to switch on and off regularly when the temperature is close to TMIN.
