EMC2303
Multiple RPM-Based
PWM Fan Controller
PRODUCT FEATURES
Datasheet
General Description
Features
The EMC2303 is an SMBus compliant fan controller with
up to three independently controlled PWM fan drivers.
Each fan driver is controlled by a programmable
frequency PWM driver and Fan Speed Control algorithm
that operates in either a closed loop fashion or as a
directly PWM-controlled device.
„
The closed loop Fan Speed Control algorithm (FSC) has
the capability to detect aging fans and alert the system.
It will likewise detect stalled or locked fans and trigger
an interrupt.
Additionally, the EMC2303 offers a clock output so that
multiple devices may be chained and slaved to the
same clock source for optimal performance in large
distributed systems.

Chapter 3 Communications
3.1
System Management Bus Interface Protocol
The EMC2303 communicates with a host controller, such as an SMSC SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 3.1. Stretching of the SMCLK signal is supported;
however, the EMC2303 will not stretch the clock signal.

3.1.1
SMBus Start Bit
The SMBus Start bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘1’ state to a logic
‘0’ state while the SMBus Clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state.
3.1.2
SMBus Address and RD / WR Bit
The SMBus Address Byte consists of the 7-bit client address followed by a RD / WR indicator bit. If
this RD / WR bit is a logic ‘0’, then the SMBus Host is writing data to the client device. If this RD / WR
bit is a logic ‘1’, then the SMBus Host is reading data from the client device.
The SMBus client will respond to one of multiple SMBus addresses determined by the pull-up resistor
on the ADDR_SEL pin. The ADDR_SEL pin decodes one of six pull-up resistors upon device power
up. Depending on the resistor used, the CLK pin may also be used to select additional functionality.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

CLK pin cannot be used as a clock

SMBus Data Bytes
All SMBus Data bytes are sent most significant bit first and composed of 8-bits of information.
3.1.4
SMBus ACK and NACK Bits
The SMBus client will acknowledge all data bytes that it receives (as well as the client address if it
matches and the ARA address if the ALERT# pin is asserted). This is done by the client device pulling
the SMBus Data line low after the 8th bit of each byte that is transmitted.
The Host will NACK (not acknowledge) the data received from the client by holding the SMBus data
line high after the 8th data bit has been sent.
3.1.5
SMBus Stop Bit
The SMBus Stop bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘0’ state to a logic
‘1’ state while the SMBus clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the EMC2303 detects an SMBus Stop
bit has been communicating with the SMBus protocol, it will reset its client interface and prepare to
receive further communications.
3.1.6
SMBus Time-out
The EMC2303 includes an SMBus timeout feature. Following a 30ms period of inactivity on the
SMBus, the device will time-out and reset the SMBus interface.
The SMBus timeout feature is disabled by default and can be enabled via clearing the DIS_TO bit in
the Configuration register (20h).
3.1.7
SMBus and I2C Compliance
The major difference between SMBus and I2C devices is highlighted here. For complete compliance
information refer to the SMBus 2.0 specification.
1. Minimum frequency for SMBus communications is 10kHz (I2C has no minimum frequency).
2. The slave protocol will reset if the clock is held low for longer than 30ms (I2C has no timeout).
3. The slave protocol will reset if both the clock and data lines are held high for longer than 150us.
4. I2C devices do not support the Alert Response Address functionality (which is optional for SMBus).

5. The Block Read and Block Write protocols are only compliant with I2C data formatting. They do
not support SMBus formatting for Block Read and Block Write protocols.
3.2
SMBus Protocols
The EMC2303 is SMBus 2.0 compatible and supports Send Byte, Read Byte, Receive Byte and Write
Byte as valid protocols as shown below. It will respond to the Alert Response Address protocol but is
not in full compliance.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 3.2. When reading the protocol blocks, the value
of YYYY_YYYb should be replaced with the respective SMBus addresses.

Alert Response Address
The ALERT# output can be used as a processor interrupt or as an SMBus Alert when configured to
operate as an interrupt.
When it detects that the ALERT# pin is asserted, the host will send the Alert Response Address (ARA)
to the general address of 0001_100xb. All devices with active interrupts will respond with their client
address as shown in Table 3.9.

Fan Control Modes of Operation
The EMC2303 has two modes of operation for each fan driver. Each mode of operation uses the Ramp
Rate control and Spin Up Routine.
1. Direct Setting Mode - in this mode of operation, the user directly controls the fan drive setting.
Updating the Fan Driver Setting Register (see Section 5.7) will instantly update the PWM fan drive.
Ramp Rate control is optional and enabled via the EN_RRC bits.
„
Whenever the Direct Setting Mode is enabled, the current drive will be changed to what was
last written into the Fan Driver Setting Register.
2. Fan Speed Control Mode (FSC) - in this mode of operation, the user determines a target
tachometer count and the PWM drive setting is automatically updated to achieve this target speed.
The algorithm uses the Spin Up Routine and has user definable ramp rate controls.
„
SMSC EMC2303
This mode is enabled setting the EN_ALGO bit in the Fan Configuration Register.

PWM Fan Driver
The EMC2303 supports 3 PWM output drivers. Each output driver can be configured to operate as an
open-drain (default) or push-pull driver and each driver can be configured with normal or inverse
polarity. Additionally, the PWM frequencies are independently programmable with ranges from 9.5Hz
to 26kHz in four programmable frequency bands.
4.3
RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm (FSC)
The EMC2303 includes 3 RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithms. Each algorithm operates
independently and controls a separate fan driver. Each algorithm is controlled manually (by setting the
target fan speed).
This fan control algorithm uses Proportional, Integral, and Derivative terms to automatically approach
and maintain the system’s desired fan speed to an accuracy directly proportional to the accuracy of
the clock source.
The desired tachometer count is set by the user inputting the desired number of 32.768kHz cycles that
occur per fan revolution. This is done by manually setting the TACH Target Register. The user may
change the target count at any time. The user may also set the target count to FFh in order to disable
the fan driver for lower current operation.
For example, if a desired RPM rate for a 2-pole fan is 3000 RPMs, then the user would input the
hexidecimal equivalent of 1296 (51h in the TACH Target Register). This number represents the number
of 32.768KHz cycles that would occur during the time it takes the fan to complete a single revolution
when it is spinning at 3000RPMs.

DATASHEET
SMSC EMC2303
Multiple RPM-Based PWM Fan Controller
Datasheet
The EMC2303’s RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm has programmable configuration settings
for parameters such as ramp-rate control and spin up conditions. The fan driver automatically detects
and attempts to alleviate a stalled/stuck fan condition while also asserting the ALERT# pin. The
EMC2303 works with fans that operate up to 16,000 RPMs and provide a valid tachometer signal.
The fan controller will function either with an externally supplied 32.768kHz clock source or with it’s
own internal 32kHz oscillator depending on the required accuracy. The EMC2303 offers a clock output
that enables additional devices to be slaved to the same clock source.
4.3.1
Programming the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm
The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is disabled upon device power up. The following
registers control the algorithm. The EMC2303 fan control registers are pre-loaded with defaults that
will work for a wide variety of fans so only the TACH Target Register is required to set a fan speed.
The other fan control registers can be used to fine-tune the algorithm behavior based on application
requirements.
Note that steps 1 - 6 are optional and need only be performed if the default settings do not provide
the desired fan response.
1. Set the Spin Up Configuration Register to the Spin Up Level and Spin Time desired.
2. Set the Fan Step Register to the desired step size.
3. Set the Fan Minimum Drive Register to the minimum drive value that will maintain fan operation.
4. Set the Update Time and Edges options in the Fan Configuration Register.
5. Set the Valid TACH Count Register to the highest tach count that indicates the fan is spinning.
Refer to AN17.4 RPM to TACH Counts Conversion for examples and tables for supported RPM
ranges (500, 1k, 2k, 4k).
6. Set the TACH Target Register to the desired tachometer count.
7. Enable the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm by setting the EN_ALGO bit.
4.4
Tachometer Measurement
The tachometer measurement circuitry is used in conjunction with the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm to update the fan driver output. Additionally, it can be used in Direct Setting mode as a
diagnostic for host based fan control.
This method monitors the TACHx signal in real time. It constantly updates the tachometer
measurement by reporting the number of clocks between a user programmed number of edges on the
TACHx signal (see Table 5.12).
The tachometer measurement provides fast response times for the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm and the data is presented as a count value that represents the fan RPM period.
APPLICATION NOTE: The tachometer measurement method works independently of the drive settings. If the
device is put into Direct Setting and the fan drive is set at a level that is lower than the fan
can operate (including zero drive), then the tachometer measurement may signal a Stalled
Fan condition and assert an interrupt.
4.4.1
Stalled Fan
A Stalled fan is detected if the tach counter exceeds the user-programmable Valid TACH Count setting.
If a stall is detected, the device will flag the fan as stalled and trigger an interrupt.
If the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is enabled, the algorithm will automatically attempt to
restart the fan until it detects a valid tachometer level or is disabled.
The FAN_STALL Status bit indicates that a stalled fan was detected. This bit is checked conditionally
depending on the mode of operation.

Revision 1.1 (10-12-09)

4.4.2
„
Whenever the Direct Setting Mode or the Spin Up Routine is enabled, the FAN_STALL interrupt
will be masked for the duration of the programmed Spin Up Time (see Table 5.22) to allow the fan
to reach a valid speed without generating unnecessary interrupts.
„
In Direct Setting Mode, whenever the TACH Reading Register value exceeds the Valid TACH Count
Register setting, the FAN_STALL status bit will be set.
„
When using the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm, the stalled fan condition is checked
whenever the Update Time is met and the fan drive setting is updated. It is not a continuous check.
Aging Fan or Invalid Drive Detection
This is useful to detect aging fan conditions (where the fan’s natural maximum speed degrades over
time) or a speed setting that is faster than the fan is capable of. The EMC2303 contains circuitry that
detects that the programmed fan speed can be reached by the fan. If the target fan speed cannot be
reached within a user defined band of tach counts at maximum drive, the DRIVE_FAIL status bits are
set and the ALERT# pin is asserted.
4.5
CLK Pin
The CLK pin has multiple functionality as determined by the pull-up decode of the ADDR_SEL pin and
the settings of the Configuration register. The functionality associated with the CLK pin upon device
power up is independent of the CLK pin functionality after the device has been configured.
4.5.1
Pull Up Decode
If additional functionality is enabled via the ADDR_SEL pin (see Section 3.1.2), then the CLK pin
should be configured with a pull-up resistor to VDD and should not be used. The value of the pull-up
resistor on the CLK pin is used to determine the default drive state of all fan drivers as shown in
Table 4.2.

External Clock
The EMC2303 allows the user to choose between supplying an external 32.768kHz clock or use of
the internal 32kHz oscillator to measure the tachometer signal. This clock source is used by the RPMbased Fan Speed Control Algorithm to calculate the current fan speed. This fan controller accuracy is
directly proportional to the accuracy of the clock source.
When this function is used, the external clock is driven into the device via the CLK pin.

Internal Clock
Alternately, the EMC2303 may be configured to use its internal clock as a clock output to drive other
fan driver devices. When configured to operate in this mode, the device uses its internal clock for
tachometer reading and drives the CLK pin using a push-pull driver.
4.6
Spin Up Routine
The EMC2303 also contains programmable circuitry to control the spin up behavior of the fan driver
to ensure proper fan operation.
The Spin Up Routine is initiated in Direct Setting mode when the setting value changes from 00h to
anything else.
When the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is enabled, the Spin Up Routine is initiated under the following
conditions:
1. The TACH Target Register value changes from a value of FFh to a value that is less than the Valid
TACH Count (see Section 5.15).
2. The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm’s measured TACH Reading Register value is greater
than the Valid TACH Count setting.
When the Spin Up Routine is operating, the fan driver is set to full scale (optional) for one quarter of
the total user defined spin up time. For the remaining spin up time, the fan driver output is set at a
user defined level (30% through 65% drive).
After the Spin Up Routine has finished, the EMC2303 measures the TACHx signal. If the measured
TACH Reading Register value is higher than the Valid TACH Count Register setting, the FAN_SPIN
status bit is set and the Spin Up Routine will automatically attempt to restart the fan.
Figure 4.2 shows an example of the Spin Up Routine in response to a programmed fan speed change
based on the first condition above.

Power Up Options
The EMC2303 allows for one of four fan speed options upon device power up depending on the status
of the pull-up resistor on the ADDR_SEL pin and the CLK pin. If the ADDR_SEL pin decode enables
the CLK pin (see Table 3.1), then the value of the pull-up resistor on the CLK pin is used to determine
the default fan drive setting (see Section 4.5.1).
If the Fan drive setting is set at a non-zero value (as determined by the CLK pin), then the drive setting
will be set to the desired setting. The Spin Up Routine will not be activated. This function does not
disable the Watchdog timer which will continue to function normally. See Section 4.8.
4.7
Ramp Rate Control
The Fan Driver can be configured with automatic ramp rate control. Ramp rate control is accomplished
by adjusting the drive output settings based on the Maximum Fan Step Register settings and the
Update Time settings.
If the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is used, then this ramp rate control is automatically
used. The user programs a maximum step size for the fan drive setting and an update time. The
update time varies from 100ms to 1.6s while the fan drive maximum step can vary from 1 count to 31
counts.
When a new fan drive setting is entered, the delta from the next fan drive setting and the previous fan
drive setting is determined. If this delta is greater than the Max Step settings, then the fan drive setting
is incrementally adjusted every 100ms to 1.6s as determined by the Update Time until the target fan
drive setting is reached. See Figure 4.3.

Watchdog Timer
The EMC2303 contains an internal Watchdog Timer for all fan drivers. The Watchdog timer monitors
the SMBus traffic for signs of activity and works in two different modes based upon device operation.
These modes are Power Up Operation and Continuous Operation as described below.
For either mode of operation, if four (4) seconds elapse without activity detected by the host, then the
watchdog will be triggered and the following will occur:
1. The WATCH status bit will be set.
2. The fan driver will be set to full scale drive. It will remain at full scale drive until it is disabled.
APPLICATION NOTE: When the Watchdog timer is activated, the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is automatically
disabled. Disabling the Watchdog will not automatically set the fan drive nor re-activate the
Fan Speed Control Algorithm. This must be done manually.
4.8.1
Power Up Operation
The Watchdog Timer only starts immediately after power-up. Once it has been triggered or deactivated,
it will not restart although it can be configured to operate in Continuous operation. While the Watchdog
timer is active, the device will not check for a Stalled Fan condition.
In the Power Up Operation, the Watchdog Timer is disabled by any of the following actions:
1. Writing the Fan Setting Register will disable the Watchdog Timer.
2. Enabling the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm by setting the EN_ALGO bit will disable the
Watchdog Timer. The fan driver will be set based on the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm.
Writing any other configuration registers will not disable the Watchdog Timer upon power up.

The Fan Setting register always displays the current setting of the respective fan driver. Reading from
any of the registers will report the current fan speed setting of the appropriate fan driver regardless of
the operating mode. Therefore it is possible that reading from this register will not report data that was
previously written into this register.
While the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is active, the register is read only. Writing to the
register will have no effect and the data will not be stored.
The contents of the register represent the weighting of each bit in determining the final output voltage.
The output drive for a PWM output is given by Equation [1].

Bits 4-3 - EDGESx[1:0] - determines the minimum number of edges that must be detected on the
TACHx signal to determine a single rotation. A typical fan measured 5 edges (for a 2-pole fan). For
more accurate tachometer measurement, the minimum number of edges measured may be increased.
Increasing the number of edges measured with respect to the number of poles of the fan will cause
the TACH Reading registers to indicate a fan speed that is higher or lower than the actual speed. In
order for the FSC Algorithm to operate correctly, the TACH Target must be updated by the user to
accommodate this shift. The Effective Tach Multiplier shown in Table 5.12 is used as a direct multiplier
term that is applied to the Actual RPM to achieve the Reported RPM. It should only be applied if the
number of edges measured does not match the number of edges expected based on the number of
poles of the fan (which is fixed for any given fan).
Contact SMSC for recommended settings when using fans with more or less than 2 poles.

The Fan Max Step registers, along with the Update Time, control the ramp rate of the fan driver
response calculated by the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm. The value of the register
represents the maximum step size each fan driver will take between update times (see Section 5.9).
When the FSC algorithm is enabled, Ramp Rate control is automatically used. When the FSC is not
active, then Ramp Rate control can be enabled by asserting the EN_RRC bit (see Section 5.10).
APPLICATION NOTE: The UPDATE bits and Fan Step Register settings operate independently of the RPM-based
Fan Speed Control Algorithm and will always limit the fan drive setting. That is, if the
programmed fan drive setting (either as determined by the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm or by manual settings) exceeds the current fan drive setting by greater than the
Fan Step Register setting, the EMC2303 will limit the fan drive change to the value of the
Fan Step Register. It will use the Update Time to determine how often to update the drive
settings.
APPLICATION NOTE: If the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is used, the default settings in the Fan Configuration 2
Register will cause the maximum fan step settings to be ignored.
The Fan Max Step registers are software locked.

The Fan Minimum Drive registers store the minimum drive setting for each RPM-based Fan Speed
Control Algorithm. The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm will not drive the fan at a level lower
than the minimum drive unless the target Fan Speed is set at FFh (see Section 5.17).
During normal operation, if the fan stops for any reason (including low drive), the RPM-based Fan
Speed Control Algorithm will attempt to restart the fan. Setting the Fan Minimum Drive Register to a
setting that will maintain fan operation is a useful way to avoid potential fan oscillations as the control
circuitry attempts to drive it at a level that cannot support fan operation.
The Fan Minimum Drive Registers are software locked.

The Valid TACH Count registers store the maximum TACH Reading Register value to indicate that
each fan is spinning properly. The value is referenced at the end of the Spin Up Routine to determine
if the fan has started operating and decide if the device needs to retry. See Equation [2] in Section 5.18
for translating the count to an RPM.
If the TACH Reading Register value exceeds the Valid TACH Count Register (indicating that the Fan
RPM is below the threshold set by this count), then a stalled fan is detected. In this condition, the
algorithm will automatically begin its Spin Up Routine.
If a TACH Target setting is set above the Valid TACH Count setting, then that setting will be ignored
and the algorithm will use the current fan drive setting.
The Valid TACH Count registers are software locked.

The Fan Drive Fail Band Registers store the number of tach counts used by the Fan Drive Fail
detection circuitry. This circuitry is activated when the fan drive setting high byte is at FFh. When it is
enabled, the actual measured fan speed is compared against the target fan speed. These registers
are only used when the FSC is active.
This circuitry is used to indicate that the target fan speed at full drive is higher than the fan is actually
capable of reaching. If the measured fan speed does not exceed the target fan speed minus the Fan
Drive Fail Band Register settings for a period of time longer than set by the DRIVE_FAIL_CNTx[1:0]
bits, then the DRIVE_FAIL status bit will be set and an interrupt generated.

The TACH Target Registers hold the target tachometer value that is maintained by the RPM-based
Fan Speed Control Algorithm.
The value in the TACH Target Registers will always reflect the current TACH Target value.
If one of the algorithms is enabled, setting the TACH Target Register to FFh will disable the fan driver
(set the fan drive setting to 0%). Setting the TACH Target to any other value (from a setting of FFh)
will cause the algorithm to invoke the Spin Up Routine after which it will function normally.
The Tach Target is not applied until the high byte is written. Once the high byte is written, the current
value of both high and low bytes will be used as the next Tach target.

The TACH Reading Registers’ contents describe the current tachometer reading for each of the fans.
By default, the data represents the fan speed as the number of 32kHz clock periods that occur for a
single revolution of the fan.
Equation [2] shows the detailed conversion from TACH measurement (COUNT) to RPM while Equation
[3] shows the simplified translation of TACH Reading Register count to RPM assuming a 2-pole fan,
measuring 5 edges, with a frequency of 32.768kHz. These equations are solved and tabulated for ease
of use in AN17.4 RPM to TACH Counts Conversion.
Whenever the high byte register is read, the corresponding low byte data will be loaded to internal
shadow registers so that when the low byte is read, the data will always coincide with the previously
read high byte.
