Intelligent Temperature Monitor and Dual PWM Fan Controller

ADM1031
Intelligent Temperature
Monitor and Dual PWM Fan
Controller
The ADM1031 is an ACPI-compliant, three-channel digital
thermometer and under/overtemperature alarm for use in personal
computers and thermal management systems. Optimized for the
PentiumIII, the part offers a 1C higher accuracy, which allows
system designers to safely reduce temperature guard-banding and
increase system performance.
Two PWM fan control outputs control the speed of two cooling fans
by varying output duty cycle. Duty cycle values between 33% and
100% allow smooth control of the fans. The speed of each fan can be
monitored via TACH inputs, which can be reprogrammed as analog
inputs to allow speeds for 2-wire fans to be measured via sense
resistors. The device also detects a stalled fan. A dedicated fan speed
control loop provides control without the intervention of CPU
software. It also ensures that if the CPU or system locks up, each fan
can still be controlled based on temperature measurements, and the fan
speed is adjusted to correct any changes in system temperature. Fan
speed can also be controlled using existing ACPI software.
Two inputs (4 pins) are dedicated to remote temperature-sensing
diodes with an accuracy of 1C, and an on-chip temperature sensor
allows ambient temperature to be monitored. The device has a
programmable INT output to indicate error conditions, and a dedicated
FAN_FAULT output to signal fan failure. The THERM pin is a
fail-safe output for overtemperature conditions that can be used to
throttle a CPU clock.

ADM1031
Functional Description
The ADM1031 is a temperature monitor and dual PWM
fan controller for microprocessor-based systems. The
device communicates with the system via a serial System
Management Bus (SMBus). The serial bus controller has a
hardwired address pin for device selection (Pin 13), a serial
data line for reading and writing addresses and data (Pin 15),
and an input line for the serial clock (Pin 16). All control and
programming functions of the ADM1031 are performed
over the serial bus. The device also supports Alert Response
Address (ARA).
defines the range over which auto fan control is provided,
and hence determines the temperature at which the fan is run
at full speed.
Serial Bus Interface
Control of the ADM1031 is carried out via the SMBus.
The ADM1031 is connected to this bus as a slave device,
under the control of a master device, for example, the 810
chipset.
The ADM1031 has a 7-bit serial bus address. When the
device is powered up, it does so with a default serial bus
address. The five MSBs of the address are set to 01011; the
two LSBs are determined by the logical state of Pin 13
(ADD). This is a three-state input that can be grounded,
connected to VCC, or left open-circuit to give three different
addresses. The state of the ADD pin is only sampled at
powerup, so changing ADD with power on has no effect
until the device is powered off, then on again.
Internal Registers
Brief descriptions of the ADM1031’s principal internal
registers are given below. For more detailed information on
the function of each register, see Table 18 through Table 33.
Configuration Register
This register controls and configures various functions on
the device.
Table 5. ADD PIN TRUTH TABLE
ADD Pin
Address Pointer Register
This register contains the address that selects one of the
other internal registers. When writing to the ADM1031, the
first byte of data is always a register address, which is written
to the address pointer register.

If ADD is left open-circuit, then the default address is
0101110. The facility to make hardwired changes at the
ADD pin allows the user to avoid conflicts with other
devices sharing the same serial bus; for example, if more
than one ADM1031 is used in a system.
Status Registers
These registers provide status of each limit comparison.
Value and Limit Registers
Theses registers store the results of temperature and fan
speed measurements, along with their limit values.
Serial Bus Protocol
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a
START condition, defined as a high-to-low
transition on the serial data line SDA while the
serial clock line SCL remains high. This indicates
that an address/data stream follows. All slave
peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to
the START condition, and shift in the next eight
bits, consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus
an R/W bit that determines the direction of the
data transfer, that is, whether data is written to or
read from the slave device.
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the
transmitted address responds by pulling the data
line low during the low period before the ninth
clock pulse, known as the Acknowledge Bit. All
other devices on the bus now remain idle while the
selected device waits for data to be read from or
written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0, then the master
writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1,
then the master reads from the slave device.
2. 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
Fan Speed Configuration Register
This register is used to program the PWM duty cycle for
each fan.
Offset Registers
These registers allow the temperature channel readings to
be offset by a 5-bit twos complement value written to these
registers. These values are automatically added to the
temperature values (or subtracted from if negative). This
allows the systems designer to optimize the system if
required, by adding or subtracting up to 15C from a
temperature reading.
Fan Characteristics Registers
These registers are used to select the spin-up time, PWM
frequency, and speed range for the fans used.
THERM Limit Registers
These registers contain the temperature values at which
THERM is asserted.
TMIN/TRANGE Registers
These registers are read/write registers that hold the
minimum temperature value below which the fan does not
run when the device is in automatic fan speed control mode.
These registers also hold the temperature range value that

during the high period, as a low-to-high transition
when the clock is high can 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.
3. 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 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
then takes the data line low during the low period
before the tenth clock pulse, then high during the
tenth clock pulse to assert a stop condition.
two data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the
internal data register to be written to, which is stored in the
address pointer register. The second data byte is the data to
be written to the internal data register.
Reading Data from a Register
When reading data from a register there are two
possibilities:
1. If the ADM1031’s address pointer register value is
unknown or not the desired value, it is first
necessary to set it to the correct value before data
can be read from the desired data register. This is
done by performing a write to the ADM1031 as
before, but only the data byte containing the
register address is sent, as data is not to be written
to the register. This is shown in Figure 16.
A read operation is then performed consisting of
the serial bus address, 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
already at the desired address, data can be read
from the corresponding data register without first
writing to the address pointer register, so Figure 16
can be omitted.
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 case of the ADM1031, write operations contain
either one byte or two bytes, and read operations contain one
byte, and perform the functions described next.
NOTES:
1. Although 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,
it is not possible to write data to a register without writing to
the address pointer register. This is because the first data
byte of a write is always written to the address pointer
register.
2. In Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17, the serial bus
address is shown as the default value 01011(A1)(A0),
where A1 and A0 are set by the three-state ADD pin.
3. The ADM1031 also supports the Read Byte protocol, as
described in the system management bus specification.
Writing Data to a Register
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; data can then 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 is illustrated in Figure 15. The device address is sent
over the bus followed by R/W set to 0. This is followed by

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 INT output can be used as an interrupt output or can
be used as an SMBALERT. One or more INT outputs can be
connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the
master. If a device’s INT line goes low, the following
procedure occurs:
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.
2. 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 INT 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 INT output is low, the
one with the lowest device address has priority, in
accordance with normal SMBus arbitration.
5. Once the ADM1031 has responded to the alert
response address, it resets its INT output.
However, if the error condition that caused the
interrupt persists, then INT is reasserted on the
next monitoring cycle.
External Measurement
The ADM1031 can measure the temperatures of two
external diode sensors or diode-connected transistors,
connected to Pins 9 and 10, and Pins 11 and 12.
These pins are dedicated temperature input channels. The
function of Pin 7 is as a THERM input/output and is used to
flag overtemperature conditions.
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 device to device, and
individual calibration is required to null this out. As a result,
the technique is unsuitable for mass production.
The technique used in the ADM1031 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 charge on the carrier
T is absolute temperature in Kelvins
N is ratio of the two currents
Figure 18 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,
provided for temperature monitoring on some
microprocessors, but it could equally well be a discrete
transistor.
Temperature Measurement System
Internal Measurement
The ADM1031 contains an on-chip bandgap temperature
sensor. The on-chip ADC performs conversions on the
output of this sensor and outputs the temperature data in
10-bit twos complement format. The resolution of the local
temperature sensor is 0.25C. The format of the temperature
data is shown in Table 6.

If a discrete transistor is used, then the collector is not
grounded, and is 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.
One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 0.125C, so the
ADM1031 can theoretically measure temperatures from
–127C to +127.75C, although –127C is outside the
operating range for the device. The extended temperature
resolution data format is shown in Table 7 and Table 8.

To prevent ground noise interfering with the
measurement, the more negative terminal of the sensor is not
referenced to ground, but biased above ground by an internal
diode at the D– input. If the sensor is used in a very noisy
http://onsemi.com

ADM1031
environment, a capacitor of value up to 1000 pF can be
placed between the D+ and D– inputs to filter the noise.
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,
then 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
11-bit twos complement format. To further reduce the
effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging
the results of 16 measurement cycles. An external
temperature measurement nominally takes 9.6 ms.
6. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than
8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is
recommended. This works up to about 6 to 12 feet.
7. For extra long distances (up to 100 feet), use a
shielded twisted pair cable, such as the Belden #8451
microphone cable. Connect the twisted pair to D+
and D– and the shield to GND close to the
ADM1031. Leave the remote end of the shield
unconnected to avoid ground loops.
Because the measurement technique uses switched
current sources, excessive cable and/or filter capacitance
can affect the measurement. When using long cables, the
filter capacitor C1 can be reduced or removed. In any case
the total shunt capacitance should not exceed 1000 pF.
Cable resistance can also introduce errors. One ohm series
resistance introduces about 0.5C error.
Layout Considerations
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments and
care must be taken to protect the analog inputs from noise,
particularly when measuring the very small voltages from a
remote diode sensor. The following precautions should be
taken:
1. Place the ADM1031 as close as possible to the
remote sensing diode. Provided that the worst
noise sources such as clock generators,
data/address buses, and CRTs are avoided, this
distance can be 4 to 8 inches.
2. Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in
parallel, with grounded guard tracks on each side.
Provide a ground plane under the tracks if possible.
3. Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and
reduce noise pickup. Ten mil track minimum
width and spacing is recommended.
GND
Addressing the Device
ADD (Pin 13) is a three-state input. It is sampled, on
powerup to set the lowest two bits of the serial bus address.
Up to three addresses are available to the systems designer
via this address pin. This reduces the likelihood of conflicts
with other devices attached to the system management bus.
The Interrupt System
The ADM1031 has two interrupt outputs, INT and
THERM. These have different functions. INT responds to
violations of software programmed temperature limits and
is maskable.
THERM is intended as a “fail-safe” interrupt output that
cannot be masked. If the temperature is below the low
temperature limit, the INT pin is asserted low to indicate an
out-of-limit condition. If the temperature exceeds the high
temperature limit, the INT pin is also asserted low. A third
limit, THERM limit, can be programmed into the device to
set the temperature limit above which the overtemperature
THERM pin is asserted low. The behavior of the high limit
and THERM limit is as follows:
1. Whenever the temperature measured exceeds the
high temperature limit, the INT pin is asserted low.
2. If the temperature exceeds the THERM limit, the
THERM output asserts low. This can be used to
throttle the CPU clock. If the THERM-to-Fan
Enable bit (Bit 7 of THERM behavior/revision
register) is cleared to 0, then the fans do not run
full-speed. The THERM limit can be programmed
at a lower temperature than the high temperature
limit. This allows the system to run in silent mode,
where the CPU can be throttled while the cooling
fan is off. If the temperature continues to increase,
and exceeds the high temperature limit, an INT is
generated. Software can then decide whether the
fan should run to cool the CPU. This allows the
system to run in silent mode.
3. If the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit is set to 1, then
the fan runs full-speed whenever THERM is

4. Try to minimize the number of copper/solder
joints, which can cause thermocouple effects.
Where copper/solder joints are used, make sure
that they are in both the D+ and D– path and at the
same temperature.
Thermocouple effects should not be a major
problem as 1C corresponds to about 200 mV, and
thermocouple voltages are about 3 mV/C of
temperature difference. Unless there are two
thermocouples with a big temperature differential
between them, thermocouple voltages should be
much less than 200 mV.

the Remote Temperature High and Low status bits. Bit 4 of
Status Register 1 indicates that the Remote Temperature
THERM limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a
read of Status Register 1 (see Figure 20). Bit 5 indicates a
remote diode error. This bit is a 1 if a short or open is detected
on the remote temperature channel on powerup. If this bit is
set to 1 on powerup, it cannot be cleared. Bit 6 of Status
Register 2 (003) indicates that the Local THERM limit has
been exceeded. This bit is cleared on a read of Status
Register 2. Bit 7 indicates that THERM has been pulled low
as an input. This bit can also be cleared on a read of Status
Register 2.
asserted low. In this case, both throttling and active
cooling take place. If the high temperature limit is
programmed to a lower value than the THERM
limit, exceeding the high temperature limit asserts
INT low. Software could change the speed of the
fan depending on temperature readings. If the
temperature continues to increase and exceeds the
THERM limit, THERM asserts low to throttle the
CPU and the fan runs full-speed. This allows the
system to run in performance mode, where active
cooling takes place and the CPU is only throttled
at high temperature.
Using the high temperature limit and the THERM limit in
this way allows the user to gain maximum performance from
the system by only slowing it down, should it be at a critical
temperature.
Although the ADM1031 does not have a dedicated
interrupt mask register, clearing the appropriate enable bits
in Configuration Register 2 clears the appropriate interrupts
and masks out future interrupts on that channel. Disabling
interrupt bits prevents out-of-limit conditions from
generating an interrupt or setting a bit in the status registers.

Using THERM as an Input
The THERM pin is an open-drain input/output pin. When
used as an output, it signals overtemperature conditions.
When asserted low as an output, the fan is driven full-speed
if the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit is set to 1 (Bit 7 of Register
03F). When THERM is pulled low as an input, the THERM
bit (Bit 7) of Status Register 2 is set to 1, and the fans are
driven full-speed. Note that the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit
has no effect whenever THERM is used as an input. If
THERM is pulled low as an input, and the THERM-to-Fan
Enable bit = 0, then the fans are still driven full-speed. The
THERM-to-Fan Enable bit only affects the behavior of
THERM when used as an output.
Figure 20. Operation of THERM and INT Signals
Figure 20 shows the interaction between INT and
THERM. Once a critical temperature THERM limit is
exceeded, both INT and THERM assert low. Reading the
status registers clears the interrupt and the INT pin goes
high. However, the THERM pin remains asserted until the
measured temperature falls 5C below the exceeded
THERM limit. This feature can be used to CPU throttle or
drive a fan full speed for maximum cooling. Note that the
INT pin for that interrupt source is not rearmed until the
temperature has fallen below the THERM limit –5C. This
prevents unnecessary interrupts from tying up valuable CPU
resources.
Status Registers
All out-of-limit conditions are flagged by status bits in
Status Register 1 (002) and Status Register 2 (003). Bit 0
(Alarm Speed) and Bit 1 (Fan Fault) of Status Register 1,
once set, can be cleared by reading Status Register 1. Once
the alarm speed bit is cleared, this bit is not reasserted on the
next monitoring cycle even if the condition still persists.
This bit can be reasserted only if the fan is no longer at alarm
speed. Bit 1 (Fan Fault) is set whenever a fan tach failure is
detected. Once cleared, it reasserts on subsequent fan tach
failures.
Bit 2 and Bit 3 of Status Register 1 and Status Register 2
are the Remote 1 and Remote 2 Temperature High and Low
status bits. Exceeding the high or low temperature limits for
the external channel sets these status bits. Reading the status
register clears these bits. However, these bits are reasserted
if the out-of-limit condition still exists on the next
monitoring cycle. Bit 6 and Bit 7 are the Local Temperature
High and Low status bits. These behave exactly the same as
Fan Control Modes of Operation
The ADM1031 has four different modes of operation.
These modes determine the behavior of the system.
1. Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode.
2. Filtered Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode.
3. PWM Duty Cycle Select Mode (Directly Sets Fan
Speed Under Software Control).
4. RPM Feedback Mode.
Automatic Fan Speed Control
The ADM1031 has a local temperature channel and two
remote temperature channels, which can be connected to an
on-chip diode-connected transistor on a CPU. These three
temperature channels can be used as the basis for an
automatic fan speed control loop to drive fans using pulse
width modulation (PWM).

TEMPERATURE
Figure 23 shows how, for a given TRANGE, changing the
TMIN value affects the loop. Increasing the TMIN value
increases the TMAX (temperature at which the fan runs full
speed) value, since TMAX = TMIN + TRANGE. Note, however,
that the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature slope remains
exactly the same. Changing the TMIN value merely shifts the
control slope. The TMIN can be changed in increments of 4C.
Figure 21. Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop
TMIN is the temperature at which the fan should switch on
and run at minimum speed. The fan only turns on once the
temperature being measured rises above the TMIN value
programmed. The fan spins up for a predetermined time
(default = 2 seconds). See the Fan Spin-Up section for more
details.
TRANGE is the temperature range over which the
ADM1031 automatically adjusts the fan speed. As the
temperature increases beyond TMIN, the PWM_OUT duty
cycle increases accordingly. The TRANGE parameter
actually defines the fan speed vs. temperature slope of the
control loop.
TMAX is the temperature at which the fan is at its
maximum speed. At this temperature, the PWM duty cycle
driving the fan is 100%. TMAX is given by TMIN + TRANGE.
Since this parameter is the sum of the TMIN and TRANGE
parameters, it does not need to be programmed into a register
on-chip.
A hysteresis value of 5C is included in the control loop
to prevent the fan continuously switching on and off if the
temperature is close to TMIN. The fan continues to run until
the temperature drops 5C below TMIN.
Figure 22 shows the different control slopes determined
by the TRANGE value chosen, and programmed into the
ADM1031. TMIN is set to 0C to start all slopes from the
same point. The figure shows how changing the TRANGE
value affects the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature slope.

Fan Spin-Up
As mentioned in the How Does the Control Loop Work?
section, once the temperature being measured exceeds the
TMIN value programmed, the fan turns on at minimum speed
(default = 33% duty cycle). However, the problem with fans
being driven by PWM is that 33% duty cycle is not enough
to reliably start the fan spinning. The solution is to spin the
fan up for a predetermined time, and once the fan has spun
up, its running speed can be reduced in line with the
temperature being measured.
The ADM1031 allows fan spin-up times between 200 ms
and 8 seconds. Bits <2:0> of Fan Characteristics Register 1
(Register 020) and Fan Characteristic Register 2 (Register
021) program the fan spin-up times.
control loop calculates the fastest fan speed based on the
temperature being measured, drives the fans.
Figures 24 and 25 show how the fan’s PWM duty cycle is
determined by two independent control loops. This is the
type of auto mode fan behavior seen when Bit 5 and Bit 6 of
Configuration Register 1 are set to 11. Figure 24 shows the
control loop for the local temperature channel. Its TMIN
value has been programmed to 20C, and its TRANGE value
is 40C. The local temperature’s TMAX is thus 60C.
Figure 25 shows the control loop for the remote temperature
channel. Its TMIN value has been set to 0C, while its
TRANGE = 80C. Therefore, the remote temperature’s
TMAX value is 80C.
Consider if both temperature channels measure 40C.
Both control loops calculate a PWM duty cycle of 66%.
Therefore, the fan is driven at 66% duty cycle. If both
temperature channels measure 20C, the local channel
calculates 33% PWM duty cycle, while the Remote 1
channel calculates 50% PWM duty cycle. Thus, the fans are
driven at 50% PWM duty cycle. Consider the local
temperature measuring 60C while the Remote 1
temperature is measuring 70C. The PWM duty cycle
calculated by the local temperature control loop is 100%
(because the temperature = TMAX). The PWM duty cycle
calculated by the Remote 1 temperature control loop at 70C
is approximately 90%. Therefore, the fan runs full-speed
(100% duty cycle). Remember, that the fan speed is based on
the fastest speed calculated, and is not necessarily based on
the highest temperature measured. Depending on the control
loop parameters programmed, a lower temperature on one
channel, can actually calculate a faster speed than a higher
temperature on the other channel.

Once the automatic fan speed control loop parameters
have been chosen, the ADM1031 device can be

speed control mode by setting Bit 7 of Configuration
Register 1 (Register 000). The device powers up in
automatic fan speed control mode by default. The control
mode offers further flexibility in that the user can decide
which temperature channel/channels control each fan.

The fan actually reaches full speed at a much lower
temperature, 28C. Case 3 shows that when the minimum
PWM duty cycle is increased to 73%, the temperature at
which the fan runs full speed is 16C. Therefore, the effect
of increasing the minimum PWM duty cycle, with a fixed
TMIN and fixed TRANGE, is that the fan actually reaches full
speed (TMAX) at a lower temperature than TMIN + TRANGE.

Other Control Loop Parameters
It should be noted that changing the minimum PWM duty
cycle affects the control loop behavior.
Slope 1 of Figure 26 shows TMIN set to 0C and the
TRANGE chosen is 40C. In this case, the fan’s PWM duty
cycle varies over the range 33% to 100%. The fan runs
full-speed at 40C. If the minimum PWM duty cycle at
which the fan runs at TMIN is changed, its effect can be seen
on Slope 2 and Slope 3. Take Case 2, where the minimum
PWM duty cycle is reprogrammed from 33% (default) to
53%.

Filtered Control Mode
The automatic fan speed control loop reacts
instantaneously to changes in temperature, that is, the PWM
duty cycle responds immediately to temperature change. In
certain circumstances, we do not want the PWM output to
react instantaneously to temperature changes. If significant
variations in temperature are found in a system, the fan
speed changes, which could be obvious to someone in close
proximity. One way to improve the system’s acoustics
would be to slow down the loop so that the fan ramps slowly
to its newly calculated fan speed. This also ensures that
temperature transients are effectively ignored, and the fan’s
operation is smooth.
There are two means by which to apply filtering to the
automatic fan speed control loop. The first method is to ramp
the fan speed at a predetermined rate, to its newly calculated
value instead of jumping directly to the new fan speed. The
second approach involves changing the on-chip ADC
sample rate, to change the number of temperature readings
taken per second.
The filtered mode on the ADM1031 is invoked by setting
Bit 0 of the fan filter register (Register 023) for Fan 1 and
Bit 1 for Fan 2. Once the fan filter register has been written
to, and all other control loop parameters (such as TMIN,
TRANGE) have been programmed, the device can be placed
into automatic fan speed control mode by setting Bit 7 of
Configuration Register 1 (Register 000) to 1.

Effect of Ramp Rate on Filtered Mode
Bits <6:5> of the fan filter register determine the ramp
rate in filtered mode. The PWM_OUT signal driving the fan
has a period, T, given by the PWM_OUT drive frequency,
f, since T = 1/f. For a given PWM period, T, the PWM period
is subdivided in to 240 equal time slots. One time slot
corresponds to the smallest possible increment in PWM duty
cycle. A PWM signal of 33% duty cycle is thus high for
1/3  240 time slots and low for 2/3  240 time slots.
Therefore, 33% PWM duty cycle corresponds to a signal
that is high for 80 time slots and low for 160 time slots.

The ramp rates in filtered mode are selectable between 1,

For example, if the ramp rate = 8, then eight time slots are

PWM_OUT duty cycle needs to be increased. Figure 28
shows how the filtered mode algorithm operates.

Figure 29 shows remote temperature plotted against

the highest sample rate; 11.25 kHz. The ramp rate is set to
8, which would correspond to the fastest ramp rate. With
these settings, it took approximately 12 seconds to go from
0% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full-speed). The TMIN
value = 32C and the TRANGE = 80C. Even though the
temperature increased very rapidly, the fan gradually ramps
up to full speed.

The filtered 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 either 1,
2, 4, or 8 time slots (depending on the setting of bits <6:5>
of the fan filter register). If the new PWM duty cycle value
is less than the previous PWM value, the previous PWM
duty cycle is decremented by 1, 2, 4, or 8 time slots. Each
time the PWM duty cycle is incremented or decremented, it
is stored as the previous PWM duty cycle for the next
comparison.

Figure 30 shows how changing the ramp rate from 8 to 4
affects the control loop. The overall response of the fan is
slower. Because the ramp rate is reduced, it takes longer for
the fan to achieve full running speed. In this case, it took
approximately 22 seconds for the fan to reach full speed.
A ramp rate of 1 corresponds to one time slot, which is
1/240 of the PWM period. In filtered auto fan speed control
mode, incrementing or decrementing by 1 changes the PWM
output duty cycle by 0.416%.

The second way to change the filtered mode
characteristics is to adjust the ADC sample rate. The faster
the ADC sample rate, the more temperature samples are
obtained per second. One way to apply filtering to the
control loop is to slow down the ADC sampling rate. This
means that the number of iterations of the filtered mode
algorithm per second is effectively reduced. If the number
of temperature measurements per second is reduced, how
often the PWM_OUT signal controlling the fan is updated
is also reduced.
Bits <4:2> of the fan filter register (Register 023) set the
ADC sample rate. The default ADC sample rate is 1.4 kHz.
The ADC sample rate is selectable from 87.5 Hz to
11.2 kHz. Table 13 shows how many temperature samples
are obtained per second, for each of the ADC sample rates.

Table 13. TEMPERATURE UPDATES PER SECOND
As can be seen from Figure 29 through Figure 32, the rate
at which the fan reacts to temperature change is dependent
on the ramp rate selected in the fan filter register. The higher
the ramp rate, the faster the fan reaches the newly calculated
fan speed.
Figure 33 shows the behavior of the PWM output as
temperature varies. As the temperature rises, the fan speed
ramps up. Small drops in temperature do not affect the
ramp-up function because the newly calculated fan speed is
still higher than the previous PWM value. The filtered mode
allows the PWM output to be made less sensitive to
temperature variations. This is dependent on the ramp rate

Bits <3:0> set the PWM duty cycle for Fan 1; Bits <7:4>

RPM Feedback Mode
The second method of fan speed control under software is
RPM feedback mode. This involves programming the
desired fan RPM value to the device to set fan speed. The
advantages include a very tightly maintained fan RPM over
the fan’s life, and virtually no acoustic pollution due to fan
speed variation.
Fans typically have manufacturing tolerances of 20%,
meaning a wide variation in speed for a typical batch of
identical fan models. If it is required that all fans run at
exactly 5000 RPM, it can be necessary to specify fans with
a nominal fan speed of 6250 RPM. However, many of these
fans run too fast and make excess noise. A fan with nominal
speed of 6250 RPM could run as fast as 7000 RPM at 100%
PWM duty cycle. RPM mode allows all of these fans to be
programmed to run at the desired RPM value.
Clearing Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Register
000) to 0 places the ADM1031 under software control.
Once under software control, the device can be placed into
RPM feedback mode by writing to Bit 5 and Bit 6 of
Configuration Register 1. Writing a 1 to Bit 5 and Bit 6
selects RPM feedback mode for each fan.
Once RPM feedback mode has been selected, the required
fan RPM can be written to the fan tach high limit registers
(010, 011). The RPM feedback mode function allows a fan
RPM value to be programmed into the device, and the
ADM1031 maintains the selected RPM value by monitoring
the fan tach and speeding up the fan as necessary, should the
fan start to slow down. Conversely, should the fan start to

each fan.
Clearing Bit 5 and Bit 6 of Configuration Register 1
allows fan control by varying PWM duty cycle. Values of
duty cycle between 0% and 100% can be written to the fan

to maintain the correct RPM speed. The value to be
programmed into each fan tach high limit register is given by:
Count + (f

Once the count value has been calculated, it should be
written to the fan tach high limit register. It should be noted
that in RPM feedback mode, there is no high limit register
for underspeed detection that can be programmed as there
are in the other fan speed control modes. The only time each
fan indicates a fan failure condition is whenever the count
reaches 255. Since the speed range N = 2, the fan fails if its
speed drops below 1324 RPM.

RPM Feedback Mode Limitations
(eq. 9)
RPM feedback mode only controls fan RPM over a limited
fan speed range of about 75% to 100%. However, this should
be enough range to overcome fan-manufacturing tolerance.
In practice, however, the program must not function at too
low an RPM value for the fan to run at, or the RPM mode does
not operate.
To find the lowest RPM value allowed for a given fan, do
the following:
1. Run the fan at 53% PWM duty cycle in software
mode. Clear Bit 5 and Bit 7 of Configuration
Register 1 (Register 000) to enter PWM duty
cycle mode. Write 008 to the fan speed
configuration register (Register 022) to set the
PWM output to 53% duty cycle.
2. Measure the fan RPM. This represents the fan
RPM below which the RPM mode fails to operate.
Do not program a lower RPM than this value when
using RPM feedback mode.
3. Ensure that speed range N = 2 when using RPM
feedback mode.
where:
f = 11.25 kHz

Fans come in a variety of different options. One
distinguishing feature of fans is the number of poles that a
fan has internally. The most common fans available have
four, six, or eight poles. The number of poles the fan has
generally affects the number of pulses per revolution the fan
outputs.
If the ADM1031 is used to drive fans other than 4-pole

Fan Drive Using PWM Control
The external circuitry required to drive a fan using PWM
control is extremely simple. A single NMOS FET is the only
drive transistor 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, and
so SOT devices can be used where board space is a
constraint. If driving several fans in parallel from a single
PWM output, or driving larger server fans, the MOSFET
needs to 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_OUT pin. The MOSFET should also have a low
on-resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage
drop across the FET. This would reduce the maximum
operating speed of the fan.

PWM control.

The fan counter does not count the fan tach output pulses
directly, because the fan speed can be less than 1000 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
11.25 kHz oscillator into the input of an 8-bit counter. The
fan speed measuring circuit is initialized on the rising edge
http://onsemi.com

ADM1031
FAN_FAULTs
of a PWM high output if fan speed measurement is enabled
(Bit 2 and Bit 3 of Configuration Register 2 = 1). It then
starts counting on the rising edge of the second tach pulse
and counts for two fan tach periods, until the rising edge of
the fourth tach pulse, or until the counter overranges if the
fan tach period is too long. The measurement cycle repeats
until monitoring is disabled. The fan speed measurement is
stored in the fan speed reading register at address 008,
009. The fan speed count is given by:
Count + (f
60)ńR
N
The FAN_FAULT output (Pin 8) is an active-low,
open-drain output used to signal fan failure to the system
processor. Writing a Logic 1 to Bit 4 of Configuration
Register 1 (000) enables the FAN_FAULT output pin. The
FAN_FAULT output is enabled by default. The
FAN_FAULT output asserts low only when five consecutive
interrupts are generated by the ADM1031 device due to the
fan running underspeed, or if the fan is completely stalled.
Note that the Fan Tach High Limit must be exceeded by at
least one before a FAN_FAULT can be generated. For
example, if we are only interested in getting a FAN_FAULT
if the fan stalls, then the fan speed value is 0FF for a failed
fan. Therefore, we should make the Fan Tach High
Limit = 0FE to allow FAN_FAULT to be asserted after five
consecutive fan tach failures.
Figure 38 shows the relationship between INT,
FAN_FAULT, and the PWM drive channel. The
PWM_OUT channel is driving a fan at some PWM duty
cycle, 50% for example, and the fan’s tach signal (or fan
current for a 2-wire fan) is being monitored at the
TACH/AIN pin. Tach pulses are being generated by the fan,
during the high time of the PWM duty cycle train. The tach
is pulled high during the off time of the PWM train because
the fan is connected high-side to the n-MOS device.
Suppose the fan has twice previously failed its fan speed
measurement. Looking at Figure 38, PWM_OUT is brought
high for two seconds, to restart the fan if it has stalled.
Sometime later a third tach failure occurs. This is evident by
the tach signal being low during the high time of the PWM
pulse, causing the fan speed reading register to reach its
maximum count of 255. Since the tach limit has been
exceeded, an interrupt is generated on the INT pin. The fan
fault bit (Bit 1) of Interrupt Status Register 1
(Register 002) is also asserted. Once the processor has
acknowledged the INT by reading the status register, the
INT is cleared. PWM_OUT is then brought high for another
two seconds to restart the fan. Subsequent fan failures cause
INT to be reasserted and the PWM_OUT signal is brought
high for two seconds (fan spin-up default) each time to
restart the fan. Once the fifth tach failure occurs, the failure
is deemed to be catastrophic and the FAN_FAULT pin is
asserted low. PWM_OUT is brought high to attempt to
restart the fan. The INT pin continues to generate interrupts
after the assertion of FAN_FAULT since tach measurement
continues even after fan failure. Should the fan recover from
its failure condition, the FAN_FAULT signal is negated, and
the fan returns to its normal operating speed.
Figure 39 shows a typical application circuit for the
ADM1031. Temperature monitoring can be based around a
CPU diode or discrete transistor measuring thermal
hotspots. Either 2- or 3-wire fans can be monitored by the
ADM1031, as shown.
(eq. 17)
where:
f = 11.25 kHz
R = Fan Speed in RPM
N = Speed Range (either 1, 2, 4, or 8)
The frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted to suit the
expected running speed of the fan by varying N, the speed
range. The oscillator frequency is set by Bit 7 and Bit 6 of
Fan Characteristics Register 1 (020) and Fan
Characteristics Register 2 (021) as shown in Table 15.
Figure 37 shows how the fan measurements relate to the
PWM_OUT pulse trains.

In situations where different output drive circuits are used
for fan drive, it can be desirable to invert the PWM drive
signal. Setting Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 (000) to 1,
inverts the PWM_OUT signal. This makes the PWM_OUT
pin high for 100% duty cycle. Bit 3 of Configuration
Register 1 should generally be set to 1 when using an n-MOS
device to drive the fan.
If using a p-MOS device, Bit 3 of Configuration
Register 1 should be cleared to 0.
