ON ADT7462 Flexible temperature, voltage monitor system fan controller Datasheet

ADT7462
Flexible Temperature,
Voltage Monitor, and
System Fan Controller
The ADT7462 is a flexible systems monitor IC, suitable for use in a
wide variety of applications. It can monitor temperature in up to three
remote locations, as well as its ambient temperature.
There are up to four PWM outputs. These can be used to control the
speed of a cooling fan by varying the % duty cycle of the PWM drive
signal applied to the fan. The ADT7462 supports high frequency
PWM for 4-wire fans and low frequency PWM for 2-wire and 3-wire
fans. Up to eight TACH inputs can be used to measure the speed of
3-wire and 4-wire fans. There are up to 13 voltage monitoring inputs,
ranging from 12 V to 0.9 V.
The ADT7462 is fully compatible with SMBus 1.1 and SMBus 1.0.
The ADT7462 also includes a THERM I/O and a RESET I/O.
The ADT7462 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP_VQ. Many of the
pins are multi-functional. Five easy configuration options can be set
up using the easy configuration register. Users choose the
configuration closest to their requirements; individual pins can be
reconfigured after the easy configuration option has been chosen.

1. All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless otherwise specified. Typical values are at TA = 25°C and represent the most likely
parametric norm. Logic inputs accept input high voltages up to 5.0 V, even when the device is operating at supply voltages below 5.0 V. Timing
specifications are tested at logic levels of VIL = 0.8 V for a falling edge and VIH = 2.0 V for a rising edge.
2. Unused digital inputs connected to GND.
3. Guaranteed by design, not production tested.
4. Note that this specification does not apply if Pin 26 (VBATT, +1.2V) is being measured in single-channel mode. See Figure 16 in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section for VBATT accuracy.
5. For Pin 23 and Pin 24 configured as +1.8V or +2.5V only, restricted conditions of VCC ≥ 3.3 V and +25°C ≤ TA ≤ +125°C apply.

Function Description: Easy Configuration
Options
There are a number of multifunctional pins on the
ADT7462 that need to be configured on powerup to suit the
desired application. Note that due to the large number of pins
that need to be configured, it could take several SMBus
transactions to achieve the required configuration. For this
reason, the ADT7462 has five easy configuration options.
The user sets a bit in the easy configuration option register
(0x14) to set up the required configuration (see Table 5).

Table 6. CONFIGURATION OPTION 1
Once the most convenient easy configuration option has
been set, the user can configure any of the pins individually.
The setup complete bit (Bit 5 of Register 0x01) must then be
set to 1 to indicate that the ADT7462 is configured correctly,
and then monitoring of the selected channels begins.
The following is a detailed description of the five easy
configuration options that are available.
Configuration Option 1
Configuration Option 1 is the default configuration. It is
also the most suitable for thermal monitoring, voltage
monitoring, and fan control for single and dual processor
systems. Features of Configuration Option 1 include the
following:
• One Local and Three Remote Temperature Channels
• Four PWM Drives and Eight TACH Inputs
• Two THERM I/Os
• Voltage Monitoring
• +3.3V
• +2.5V
• +1.8V
• VBATT
• RESET I/O
• CI (Chassis Intrusion) or FAN2MAX

ADT7462
Serial Bus Interface
3. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of
nine clock pulses: eight bits of data followed by an
acknowledge bit from the slave device. Transitions
on the data line must occur during the low period
of the clock signal and remain stable during the
high period, because a low-to-high transition 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.
4. When all data bytes have been read or written,
stop conditions are established. In write mode, the
master releases the data line during the 10th clock
pulse to assert a stop condition. In read mode, the
master device overrides the acknowledge bit by
pulling the data line high during the low period
before the 9th clock pulse. This is known as a no
acknowledge. The master then takes the data line
low during the low period before the 10th clock
pulse and then takes it high during the 10th clock
pulse to assert a stop condition.
The ADT7462 is controlled through use of the serial
system management bus (SMBus). The ADT7462 is
connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of
a master controller. The SMBus interface in the ADT7462
is fully SMBus 1.1 and SMBus 1.0 compliant. The SMBus
address is determined by the state of the ADD input on
powerup.
ADD Input
The ADD pin is a three-state input to the ADT7462. It is
used to determine the SMBus address used. This pin is
sampled on powerup only. Any changes subsequent to
powerup are not reflected until the ADT7462 is powered
down and back up again. The corresponding 7-bit SMBus
address for the state of the ADD pin is shown in Table 11.

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.
For the ADT7462, 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 to read data from
it, the address pointer register must be set so that the correct
data register is addressed. Then data can be written into 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 24. 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 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.
When reading data from a register, there are two
possibilities.
• If the ADT7462 address pointer register value is
unknown or not the desired value, it must be set to the
correct value before data can be read from the desired
data register. This is done by performing a write to the
ADT7462 as before, but only the data byte containing
the register address is sent because no data is written to
the register (see Figure 25).
A read operation is then performed, consisting of the
serial bus address and the R/W bit set to 1, followed by
SMBus Fixed Address
The ADT7462 supports SMBus fixed address mode and
is fully backward compatible with SMBus 1.1 and SMBus
1.0. The ADT7462 powers up with a fixed SMBus address
that cannot be changed by the assign address call. The fixed
address is set by the state of the ADD input pin on powerup.
The ADT7462 also responds to the SMBus device default
address of 0x61.
SMBus Operation
The SMBus specification defines specific conditions for
different types of read and write operations. The general
SMBus protocol operates as follows:
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 a R/W bit,
which determines the direction of the data transfer,
that is, whether data is written to or read from the
slave device.
2. The peripheral whose address corresponds to the
transmitted address responds by pulling the data
line low during the low period before the 9th clock
pulse, known as the acknowledge bit. All other
devices on the bus remain idle while the selected
device waits for data to be read from it or written
to it. If the R/W bit = 0, the master writes to the
slave device. If the R/W bit = 1, the master reads
from the slave device.

pointer register.
In addition to supporting the send byte and receive byte
protocols, the ADT7462 also supports the read byte protocol

more information).
If several read or write operations must be performed in
succession, then the master can send a repeat start condition,
instead of a stop condition, to begin a new operation.
the data byte read from the data register
(see Figure 26).
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 26).
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

a send byte operation to set a RAM address. The user writes
the number of registers to be written to in the block read
command to the #Bytes bits of the Configuration 0 register.
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by the write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the
slave device to expect a block write. The
ADT7462 command code for a block write is
0xA0 (1010 0000).
5. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends the data bytes (the number of
data bytes sent is written to the #Bytes bits of the
Configuration 0 register).
7. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA after each data
byte.
8. The master sends a packet error checking (PEC) byte.
9. The ADT7462 checks the PEC byte and issues an

Block Read
In this operation, the master device reads a block of data
from a slave device. The start address for a block read must
be set previously, as well as the number of bytes to be read
(maximum = 32). In the case of the ADT7462, the start
address is activated by a send byte operation to set a RAM
address. The number of bytes to be read should be written to
the #Bytes bits in the Configuration 0 register. The block
read operation consists of a send byte operation that sends
a block read command to the slave, immediately followed by
a repeated start and a read operation that reads out multiple
data bytes, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by the write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block read. The ADT7462
command code for a block read is 0xA1 (1010 0001).
5. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a repeat start condition on SDA.
7. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by the read bit (high).
8. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA.
9. The ADT7462 sends a byte count telling the
master how many data bytes to expect. The
maximum number of bytes is 32.
10. The master asserts an ACK on SDA.
11. The master receives the expected number of data
bytes.
Alert Response Address
Alert Response Address (ARA) is a feature of SMBus
devices that allows an interrupting device to identify itself
to the host when multiple devices exist on the same bus.
The SMBALERT output can be used as either an interrupt
output or an SMBALERT. One or more outputs can be
connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the
master. If a device’s SMBALERT line goes low, the
following procedure occurs:
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.
2. The master initiates a read operation and sends the
alert response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is
a general call address that must not be used as a
specific device address.
3. The device whose SMBALERT output is low
responds to the ARA, 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 ADT7462 has responded to the ARA, the
master must read the status registers, and the
SMBALERT is cleared only if the error condition
has gone away.

SMBus Timeout
figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but
it could equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete
transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and should
be linked to the base. To prevent ground noise from
interfering with the measurement, the more negative
terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground but is
biased above ground by an internal diode at the D− input. C1
can optionally be added as a noise filter (recommended
maximum value 1000 pF). However, a better option in noisy
environments is to add a filter, as described in the Noise
Filtering section.
To measure DVBE, the operating current through the
sensor is switched among three related currents. As shown
in Figure 33, N1 × I and N2 × I are different multiples of the
Current I. The currents through the temperature diode are
switched between I and N1 × I, giving DVBE1, and then
between I and N2 × I, giving DVBE2. The temperature can
then be calculated using the two DVBE measurements. This
method can also be shown to cancel the effect of any series
resistance on the temperature measurement.
The resulting DVBE waveforms are passed through a
65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise and then to a
chopper-stabilized amplifier. This amplifies and rectifies the
waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to DVBE.
The ADC digitizes this voltage, and a temperature
measurement is produced. To reduce the effects of noise,
digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16
measurement cycles for low conversion rates.
Signal conditioning and measurement of the internal
temperature sensor are performed in the same manner (see
Figure 33).
The ADT7462 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If
there is no SMBus activity for 25 ms, the ADT7462 assumes
that the bus is locked and releases the bus. This prevents the
device from locking or holding the SMBus while the device
is expecting data. Some SMBus controllers cannot handle
the SMBus timeout feature, so it can be disabled.

The ADT7462 can measure its own ambient temperature
and the temperature of up to three remote thermal diodes.
These diodes can be discrete diode-connected 2N3904/
2N3906s or they can be located on a processor die. Figure 32
shows how to connect a remote NPN or PNP transistor.

Temperature Measurement Results
The results of the local and remote temperature
measurements are stored in the local and remote temperature
value registers and are compared with limits programmed
into the local and remote high and low limit registers.
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit
the negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring
the base-emitter voltage (VBE) of a transistor, operated at
constant current. Unfortunately, this technique requires
calibration to cancel the effect of the absolute value of VBE,
which varies from device to device.
The technique used in the ADT7462 is to measure the
change in VBE when the device is operated at three different
currents. Previous devices have used only two operating
currents; use of a third current allows automatic cancellation
of any resistances in series with the external temperature
sensor.
Figure 33 shows the input signal conditioning used to
measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This

The temperature value is stored in two registers. The MSB

LSB register are used, Bit 7 and Bit 6, giving a temperature
measurement resolution of 0.25°C. The temperature
measurement range for both local and remote measurements
is from −64°C to +191°C. However, the ADT7462 itself
should never be operated outside its operating temperature
range, which is from −40°C to +125°C. For the remote

appears as a temperature offset in the remote sensor’s
temperature measurement. This error typically causes a
0.8°C offset per ohm of parasitic resistance in series with the
remote diode.
The ADT7462 automatically cancels out the effect of this
series resistance on the temperature reading, giving a more
accurate result, without the need for user characterization of
this resistance. The ADT7462 is designed to automatically
cancel typically up to 2 kW of resistance. By using an
advanced temperature measurement method, the process is
transparent to the user. This feature also allows an RCR filter
to be added to the sensor path, allowing the part to be used
accurately in noisy environments.

Each temperature measurement channel has a high and
low temperature limit associated with it. The temperature
measurements are compared with these limits, and the
results of these comparisons are stored in status registers. A
Logic 0 indicates an in-limit comparison, and a Logic 1
indicates an out-of-limit comparison. The ADT7462 can
generate an ALERT, if configured to do so, after a status bit
is set. For more information on the status registers and
ALERT, see the Status and Mask Registers ALERT section.
Each temperature channel also has a THERM1 and a
THERM2 temperature limit associated with it. When these
temperature limits are exceeded, the corresponding
THERM pin is asserted low (if THERM is configured as an
output), and the fans are boosted to full speed (if the boost
bit is set). Table 14 shows a complete list of all the
temperature limits and their default values.
Table 13. TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT

When reading the full temperature value, the LSB should
be read first and then the MSB. Reading the LSBs causes the
current MSBs to be frozen until they are read. Reading the
MSBs only does not cause any register to be locked. This is
useful when a temperature reading with 1°C resolution is
required.

Offset Registers
The ADT7462 has temperature offset registers at Register
0x56 to Register 0x59 for the local, Remote 1, Remote 2, and
Remote 3 temperature channels. By doing a one-time
calibration of the system, the user can determine the offset
caused by system board noise and cancel it using the offset
registers. The offset registers automatically add a twos
complement, 8-bit reading to every temperature
measurement. The LSBs add 0.5°C offset to the temperature
reading so the 8-bit register effectively allows temperature
offsets of up to ±64°C with a resolution of 0.5°C. This ensures
that the readings in the temperature measurement registers are
as accurate as possible.

Layout Considerations
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments.
The ADT7462 measures very small voltages from the
remote sensor, so care must be taken to minimize noise
induced at the sensor inputs. The following precautions
should be taken:
•
cause thermo-couple 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
because 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 large temperature differential
between them, thermocouple voltages should be much
less than 200 mV.
Place a 0.1 mF bypass capacitor close to the VCC pin. In
extremely noisy environments, an input filter capacitor
can be placed across D+ and D− close to the ADT7462.
This capacitance can affect the temperature
measurement, so care must be taken to ensure that any
capacitance seen at D+ and D− is a maximum of
1000 pF. This maximum value includes the filter
capacitance, plus any cable or stray capacitance
between the pins and the sensor diode.
If the distance to the remote sensor is more than
8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is recommended.
This works from about 6 feet up to 12 feet.
For really long distances (up to 100 feet), use shielded
twisted pair, such as Belden No. 8451 microphone
cable. Connect the twisted pair to D+ and D− and the
shield to GND close to the ADT7462. Leave the remote
end of the shield unconnected to avoid ground loops.
Because the measurement technique uses switched
current sources, excessive cable or filter capacitance
can affect the measurement. When using long cables,
the filter capacitance can be reduced or removed.

Noise Filtering
(2.25 V). All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip,
successive approximation ADC. This ADC has a resolution
of ten bits. The basic input range is from 0 V to 2.25 V, but
the inputs have built-in attenuators to allow measurement of
larger and smaller voltages. To allow a tolerance for these
voltages, the ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale
(decimal 768 or 0x300) for the nominal input voltage and so
has enough headroom to cope with overvoltages.
A list of corresponding LSB and full-scale values for each
input voltage is shown in Table 16.
For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments,
the industry-standard practice is to place a capacitor across
the D+ and D− pins to help combat the effects of noise.
However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the
temperature measurement, leading to a recommended
maximum capacitor value of 1000 pF. While this capacitor
does reduce noise, it does not eliminate it, making it difficult
to use the sensor in a very noisy environment.
The ADT7462 has a major advantage over other devices
in eliminating the effects of noise on the external sensor. The
series resistance cancellation feature allows a filter to be
constructed between the external temperature sensor and the
device. The effect of any filter resistance seen in series with
the remote sensor is automatically canceled from the
temperature result.
The construction of a filter allows the ADT7462 and the
remote temperature sensor to operate in noisy environments.
Figure 35 shows a low-pass RCR filter, with the following
values:
R = 100 W
C = 1 nF
This filtering reduces both common-mode noise and
differential noise.

measurement inputs and the corresponding input pins. Each
pin can be configured to measure the desired voltage option
using the Pin Configuration 1 (0x10) to Pin Configuration 4
(0x13) registers or the easy configuration options.

and a Logic 1 indicates an out-of-limit condition. The
ADT7462 can generate an ALERT, if configured to do so,
when a status bit is set. For more information on the status
registers and ALERT, see the Status and Mask Registers

Battery Measurement Input (VBATT)
Monitoring cycle time depends on the ADT7462
configuration. Calculating the monitoring cycle time is
described in more detail in the ADC Information section.
The VBATT input allows the condition of a CMOS backup
battery to be monitored. This is typically a lithium coin cell,
such as a CR2032. The VBATT input is accurate only for
voltages greater than 1.2 V. Note that when Pin 26 is
configured as a +1.2V input, voltages lower than 1.2 V are
not accurately measured. Input voltage and corresponding
voltage measured are shown in Figure 16.
Typically, the battery in a system is required to keep some
devices powered on when the system is in a powered-off
state. The VBATT measurement input is designed to minimize
battery drain. To reduce current drain from the battery, the
lower resistor of the VBATT attenuator is not connected,
except when a VBATT measurement is being made. The total
current drain on the VBATT pin is 80 nA typical (for a
maximum VBATT voltage = 4.0 V), so a CR2032 CMOS
battery functions in a system in excess of the expected
10 years. Note that when a VBATT measurement is not being
made, the current drain is reduced to 16 nA typical. Under
normal voltage measurement operating conditions, all
measurements are made in a round-robin format, and each
reading is actually the result of 16 digitally averaged
measurements. However, averaging is not carried out on the
VBATT measurement to reduce measurement time and,
therefore, reduce the current drain from the battery.
The VBATT current drain when a measurement is being
made is calculated by:
I+
V BATT
100 kW
VBATT Input Battery Protection
In addition to minimizing battery current drain, the VBATT
measurement circuitry is specifically designed with battery
protection in mind. Internal circuitry prevents the battery
from being back-biased by the ADT7462 supply or through
any other path under normal operating conditions. In the
unlikely event of a catastrophic ADT7462 failure, the
ADT7462 includes a second level of battery protection,
including a series 3 kW resistor to limit current to the battery,
as recommended by UL (see Figure 37). Thus, it is not
necessary to add a series resistor between the battery and the
VBATT input; the battery can be connected directly to the
VBATT input to improve voltage measurement accuracy.

Round Robin
Both temperature and voltage measurements are analog
inputs that are digitized using the on-board ADC. An
internal multiplexer switches between the different analog
inputs and digitizes them, in turn, in a round-robin manner.
The total conversion time depends upon how the ADT7462
is configured. The conversion times for each measurement
channel are shown in Table 18. The complete conversion
time is the sum of the time for the voltage and temperature
measurements.
For example, if the ADT7462 is configured as Easy
Configuration Option 1, the round-robin conversion time is
calculated as follows:
Total Conversion Time =
1 × (Local Conversion Time) +
3 × (Remote Conversion Time) +
4 × (Voltage Measurement Time)
The TACH is not measured using the ADC and so is not
part of the round-robin monitoring cycle.

Single-channel ADC Conversions
Setting Bit 2 of the EDO Enable register (0x16) places the
ADT7462 into single-channel mode. In this mode, the
ADT7462 can be made to convert on a single voltage or
temperature channel only. The channel to be converted on is
selected by writing to Bits [7:3] of the EDO (single-channel)
Enable register (0x16). When the device is in single-channel
mode, the pin configuration option should not be changed.
Note that when the Pin 26 voltage, which includes the
VBATT option, is selected in single-channel mode, this
means that voltage measurements are continuously made in
this mode. If a battery is connected to this input, this results
in an excessive current drain on the battery. The
specification of >10 years of battery life is valid only when
the battery voltage is measured as part of the round robin and
not in single-channel mode.

Table 20. SINGLE-CHANNEL MODE OPTIONS
For each ADC temperature and voltage measurement read
from their value registers, 16 readings have actually been
made internally and the results averaged before being placed
in the value register.
Bypass Voltage Attenuators
There are up to 13 voltage measurement channels on the
ADT7462. Each of these voltage measurement channels has
an input structure (see Figure 36 for input structures for each
of the voltage channels). Because the ADC has a voltage
input range from 0 V to 2.25 V, these input circuits attenuate
the voltage input using a resistor divider network to match
the input range of the ADC. However, the user may
occasionally want to remove the attenuators and directly
apply a voltage of between 0 V and 2.25 V to the ADC.
These attenuators can be disabled by setting relevant bits in
the voltage attenuator configuration registers (see Table 19).
This feature also allows the user to rescale the voltage inputs
using an external attenuator circuit. However, when the
attenuators are disabled, the user should ensure that the
voltage on the pin never exceeds 2.25 V.

Dynamic VID Functionality
VR10 requires only six VID lines (see Table 22). Pin 28
should be connected to ground when monitoring VR10 VID
codes. VID6 reports a 0.
VID Code
The ADT7462 can be configured to monitor up to seven
VID inputs. The VID code is output on seven lines from the
CPU to tell the power controller what input voltage it
requires. The ADT7462 can monitor the VID code and the
voltage applied to the CPU to ensure that they match within
an acceptable range. This acceptable range is programmable
in the ADT7462.
The VID lines are monitored by the ADT7462, and the
VID code is stored in the VID Value register (0x97), which
can be read back over the SMBus.
VID monitoring is enabled by setting Bit 7 (VIDs) of Pin
Configuration Register 1 (0x10) to 1. See Table 21 and
Table 22 for information on which pin should be connected
to each VID line. When VID monitoring is enabled, all seven
pins are automatically configured as VID inputs. It is not
possible to select six pins as VID inputs and use the
remaining pin as an alternate function.
Table 22. VR10 VID CODES
The ADT7462 supports both the VR10 and the VR11
specifications. The default option supports the VR10
specification. To switch to the VR11 specification, set Bit 6
of Configuration Register 0 (0x00) to 1. VR11 is defined as
eight bits; the ADT7462 monitors only seven VID lines (see
Table 21).

The ADT7462 supports dynamic VID monitoring. The
purpose of the VID code is to tell the voltage controller what
VCCP voltage should be applied to the CPU. The VCCP
voltage applied to the processor changes as the power
requirements of the processor change. The VID is compared
with VCCP1 only. Note that when the VIDs are enabled, the
LSB value for VCCP1 becomes 0.0125 V (see Table 16).
The VID values can represent voltages from 0.8375 V to
1.6 V. The VID code is sampled by the ADT7462 every
11 ms and is stored in Register 0x97. Once the VID code has
been stable (that is, does not change) for 55 ms, the measured
VCCP is then compared with the VID code. The comparison
table used is for either the VR10 or the VR11 specification
(set by Bit 6 of Register 0x00). If the VID code and the
measured VCCP do not match within a certain limit, an
ALERT is generated.
The VID value decoded and the VCCP measurement must
be within a window controlled by the VID high and low
limits. The VID is compared with VCCP1 only. Register 0x78
holds the 4-bit VID high and low limits. The high limit has
a range of 0 mV to 375 mV with a resolution of 25 mV (four
bits). The low limit has a range of 0 mV to −187.5 mV with
a resolution of 12.5 mV (four bits). The high limit is used in
a greater-than comparison, and the low limit is used in a
less-than-or-equal-to comparison. Note that if both limits
are set to 0x00, because the low limit is less than or equal to
the comparison, an ALERT always results. Therefore, the
minimum value for low limit is 0x01.
If the VCCP voltage measured and the VID code do not
match to within the programmed limit, Status Bit 6 of the
digital status register is set (Register 0xBE). This, in turn,
can generate an ALERT if it is not masked.
Bit 0 = VID0 (reflects the logic state of Pin 1)
Bit 1 = VID1 (reflects the logic state of Pin 2)
Bit 2 = VID2 (reflects the logic state of Pin 3)

Example
ALERT Output
VID high limit: 100 mV (Register 0x78), four MSBs set to
0100.
VID low limit: 50 mV (Register 0x78), four LSBs set to 0100.
VID value equates to 1.1 V. This is the read VID decoded,
using either VR10 or VR11 tables.
The ADT7462 has an SMBus ALERT output that is
asserted when one of the status bits is set. This is to alert the
master that an out-of-limit measurement has taken place or
that there is a fault on one of the fan channels.
An ALERT is generated as a result of a status bit being set
in any of the registers.
VCCP1 must be in the window of 1.05 V to 1.2 V. If the
VCCP1 value is outside this window, the status bit is set and
an ALERT is generated.
To clear an ALERT generated in this way, read the digital
status register. If the VID code and VCCP are now matching
within the programmed window (that is, the error condition
that caused the ALERT has gone away), then the status bit
is reset and so is the ALERT.
The VID to VCCP voltage tables for both VR10 and VR11
can be found on the Intel website. See the Voltage Regulator
Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down
(EVRD) 10.0 Design Guidelines, Page 18 and Page 19, for
additional information.

Figure 38. ALERT and Status Bit Behavior
Figure 38 shows how the ALERT output and “sticky”
status bits behave. When a limit is exceeded, the
corresponding status bit is set to 1. The status bit remains set
until the error condition goes away 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 ALERT output remains
low for the entire duration that a reading is out of limit and
until the status register has been read.
Status and Mask Registers and ALERT
Status Registers
Each measured temperature and voltage has an associated
high and low limit. The measured values are compared with
these programmable limits. The results of these
comparisons are stored in the status registers. A Logic 0 in
the status register represents an in-limit comparison, while
a Logic 1 represents an out-of-limit comparison.
Once a status bit is set, it remains set until the status
register is read by the SMBus master. Once read, the status
bit is cleared if the error condition has gone away. The status
registers are duplicated to accommodate situations where
there are two SMBus masters. If one master reads the host
status registers and consequently clears them, the second
master has no way of knowing what bits were set and what
bits were cleared. The second SMBus master can read from
the duplicate BMC status registers to determine which status
bits were set.
Table 23 is a list of the status registers and corresponding
addresses.
Mask Registers
The user has the option of masking any of the individual
status bits that generate an ALERT. This is achieved by
setting the appropriate bit in the mask registers. The ALERT
output is not asserted on the setting of a status bit if it has
been masked. The status bit itself is not affected and
continues to be set when an out-of-limit condition exists.

(or on/off ratio) of a square wave applied to the fan to vary
the fan speed. The advantage of using PWM control is that
it uses a very simple external circuit. The specific circuit
used depends upon the type of fan.
There are three main fan types in use: 2-wire fans, 3-wire
fans, and 4-wire fans. The 2-wire fan has only power and
ground connections. The 3-wire fan has power and ground
connections and a TACH output to indicate the speed of the
fan. The 4-wire fan has power and ground connections, a
TACH output, and a PWM input. The PWM input is
connected directly to the PWM drive of the ADT7462 and
is used to control the speed of the fans.
For 2-wire and 3-wire fans, the low frequency PWM drive
signal should be selected. For 4-wire fans, the high
frequency PWM drive signal should be selected.
current required by the fan being driven. A typical PC fan
can draw a nominal current ranging from a few hundred
milliamps to over an amp of current. Depending on the
current rating of the fan, a SOT device can be used where
board space is a concern. If several fans in parallel are driven
from a single PWM output or if larger server fans are driven,
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 pins. VGS can be greater than 3.3 V as long as the
pullup on the gate is tied to 5.0 V. The MOSFET should also
have a low on resistance to ensure that there is not a
significant voltage drop across the FET, which would reduce
the voltage applied across the fan and reduce the full speed
of the fan.
Figure 40 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 5.0 V maximum to prevent
damaging the ADT7462. 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.
Driving a 3-wire fan with a PWM signal makes the fan
speed measurement more difficult because the TACH signal
is chopped by the PWM drive signal. Pulse stretching is
required in this case to make accurate fan speed
measurements. For more information, see the Fan Speed
Measurement section.
Using the ADT7462 with 2-wire Fans
Figure 39 shows the most typical circuit used with a
2-wire fan and illustrates how a 2-wire fan can be connected

Because the electronics in a 4-wire fan are powered
continuously, unlike previous PWM driven/powered fans,
4-wire fans tend to perform better than 3-wire fans,
especially for high frequency applications. 4-wire frames
also eliminate the requirement for pulse stretching, because
the TACH signal is always available.

drive outputs. If all eight fans are being used in the system,
two fans should be driven in parallel from each PWM
output. Figure 42 shows how to drive two fans in parallel
using the NDT3055L MOSFET. This information is
relevant for low frequency mode only (2-wire and 3-wire
fans), because the PWM and TACHs need to be
synchronized to obtain accurate fan speed measurements
using pulse stretching (see the Fan Speed Measurement with
Pulse Stretching section). In high frequency mode and when
using 4-wire fans, the TACH signal is always valid because
the fan is always powered on.
Note that because the MOSFET can handle up to 3.5 A, it
is simply a matter of connecting another fan directly in
parallel with the first. Care should be taken in designing
drive circuits with transistors and FETs to ensure that the
PWM pins are not required to source current and that they
sink less than the 8 mA maximum current specified on the
MOSFET data sheet.

If the fan output has a resistive pullup to 12 V (or other

with a Zener diode, as shown in Figure 44. The Zener diode
voltage should be chosen so that it is greater than VIH of the
TACH input but less than 5.0 V, allowing for the voltage
tolerance of the Zener diode. A value of between 3.0 V and
5.0 V is suitable.

The maximum input signal range is 0 V to 5.0 V, even when
VCC is less than 5.0 V. In the event that these inputs are
supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 V to 5.0 V, either
resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping

Fan Speed Measurement with Pulse Stretching
*SEE TEXT
The method for measuring fan speed for 3-wire fans
requiring pulse stretching is similar to the method described
in the Fan Speed Measurement without Pulse Stretching
section for continuous measurements. The main difference
is that the PWM drive must be synchronized to the TACH
input so that the ADT7462 knows that pulse stretching is
taking place while the TACH is being measured.
PWM1 is synchronized with TACH1 and TACH2.
PWM2 is synchronized with TACH3 and TACH4.
PWM3 is synchronized with TACH5 and TACH6.
PWM4 is synchronized with TACH7 and TACH8.

Fan Speed Measurement
The method of fan speed measurement when using 3-wire
fans differs from that used with 4-wire fans. When 3-wire
fans are in use, power is continuously applied and removed
from the fan, thereby chopping the TACH information. As
a result, every time a fan speed measurement is to be made,
the fan must be switched on for a long enough period of time
that a measurement can be made. This is called pulse
stretching. With 4-wire fans, power is always applied to the
fan, so fan speed measurements can be made continuously,
and there is no need for pulse stretching. Pulse stretching is
also not necessary when driving a 3-wire fan with a dc input.
The Fan Speed Measurement with Pulse Stretching section,
which describes how fan speed is measured both when pulse
stretching is required and when it is not.
Driving and Measuring the Speed of Two Fans from
One PWM Output
When pulse stretching is enabled, the ADT7462 measures
fan speed once a second. The counter then counts up from
the first to the third TACH pulse; this value is stored in the
TACH value register. The PWM drive returns to its previous
programmed value. Each TACH input is synchronized to a
particular PWM output. The PWM and TACH pins must be
connected as shown in Figure 48 to ensure that pulse
stretching is synchronized between the PWM output and the
TACH inputs, and an accurate fan speed measurement is
made on each fan.
Fan Speed Measurement Without Pulse Stretching
Fan speed is measured by the ADT7462, and the result is
stored in the fan TACH value registers. 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

Fan Speed Measurement Registers
Fan speed measurement 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 (because 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 either that the fan has stalled or is running
very slowly (< 100 rpm).
The actual fan TACH period is being measured; therefore,
an ALERT is generated if the reading falls below a fan
TACH limit. This ALERT sets the appropriate status bit and
can be used to generate an SMBALERT. The TACH limit is
an 8-bit value that is compared with the TACH high byte of
the TACH reading.

The PWM output is pulse stretched until a valid TACH is
read on both TACH inputs synchronized to the particular
PWM output. If one fan is connected to one PWM output,
the PWM output is pulse stretched until the counter has
timed out on the disconnected TACH input. In this case, the
pulse is stretching longer than necessary in an effort to sense
a disconnected fan. The speed of the connected fan may be
increased and an audible change in fan speed may be
observed. There are two options to prevent the PWM output
from being stretched longer than necessary in this case.

Low Frequency Mode PWM Drive Frequency
(eq. 5)
The PWM drive frequency can be adjusted for the
application. The ADT7462 supports both high frequency
and low frequency PWM. High or low frequency PWM
mode is selected in Register 0x02, Bit 2. In high frequency
mode, the PWM drive frequency is always 22.5 kHz and
cannot be changed. Register 0x25 and Register 0x26
configure the PWM frequency in low frequency mode for
PWM1 to PWM4.
PWM Drive Frequency 1 is set using Bits [4:2] of the
PWM1 and PWM2 frequency register (0x25).
PWM Drive Frequency 2 is set using Bits [7:5] of the
PWM1 and PWM2 frequency register (0x25).
PWM Drive Frequency 3 is set using Bits [4:2] of the
PWM3 and PWM4 frequency register (0x26).
PWM Drive Frequency 4 is set using Bits [7:5] of the
PWM3 and PWM4 frequency register (0x26).
If the fan is a 6-pole fan, the count value is representative
of 2/3 of a revolution. Therefore, the result of Equation 5
should be divided by 1.5. Similarly, if the fan used is an
8-pole fan, then the result should be divided by 2.
Fan Spin-Up
The ADT7462 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 of this
process is that fans have different spin-up characteristics and
require different times to overcome inertia. The ADT7462
runs the fans just fast enough to overcome inertia and the
fans are quieter on spin-up than fans programmed to spin up
for a given spin-up time.
Fan Startup Timeout
Table 27. LOW FREQUENCY PWM OPTIONS
To prevent false interrupts being generated as a fan spins
up (because it is below running speed), the ADT7462
includes a fan startup timeout function. During this time, the
ADT7462 looks for two TACH pulses. If two TACH pulses
are not detected, an interrupt is generated. Using
Configuration Register 1 (0x01), Bit 4, this functionality
can be changed to spinning the fans for a programmable time
instead of two TACH pulses.
The startup timeout for each PWM drive is programmed
by Bits [2:0] in the PWMx configuration registers.

Fan Speed Control
The ADT7462 controls fan speed using two different
modes: automatic and manual.
In automatic fan speed control mode, fan speed is
automatically varied with temperature and without CPU
intervention, after initial parameters are set up. The
advantage of this mode is that if the system hangs, the system
is protected from overheating. The automatic fan speed
control incorporates a feature called dynamic TMIN
calibration. This feature reduces the design effort required
to program the automatic fan speed control loop. For more
information on how to program the automatic fan speed
control loop and dynamic TMIN operation, see the
Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop
section.
In manual fan speed control mode, the ADT7462 allows
the duty cycle of any PWM output to be manually adjusted.
This is useful if the user wants to change fan speed in the
software or adjust PWM duty cycle output for test purposes.
Bits [7:5] of Register 0x21 to Register 0x24 (PWM
configuration registers) control the behavior of each PWM
output. Under manual control, each PWM output can be
manually updated by writing to Register 0xAA to
Register 0xAD (PWM duty cycle registers).

Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop
Note that to better understand the automatic fan speed
control loop, use of the ADT7462 evaluation board and
software is strongly recommended while reading this
section.
This section provides the system designer with an
understanding of the automatic fan control loop and
provides step-by-step guidance on effectively evaluating
and selecting critical system parameters. To optimize
system characteristics, the designer needs to carefully plan
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 the process.
Programming the PWM Current Duty Cycle Registers
The PWM current duty cycle registers are 8-bit registers
that allow the PWM duty cycle for each output to be set
anywhere from 0% to 100% in steps of 0.39%.
The value to be programmed into the PWMMIN register is
given by:
Value (decimal) = PWMMIN/0.39
Example 1: For a PWM duty cycle of 50%,
Value (decimal) = 50/0.39 = 128 decimal
Value = 128 decimal or 0x80
Example 2: For a PWM duty cycle of 33%,
Value (decimal) = 33/0.39 = 85 decimal
Value = 84 decimal or 0x54
Automatic Fan Control Overview
The ADT7462 can automatically control the speed of fans
based upon the measured temperature. This is done
independently from CPU intervention once initial parameters
are set up.
The ADT7462 has a local temperature sensor and up to
three remote temperature channels that can be connected to
a CPU on-chip thermal diode (available on Intel Pentium
class and other CPUs/GPUs). These four 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, including TMIN and TRANGE. The TMIN and
PWM Duty Cycle Registers
Register 0xAA PWM1 Duty Cycle = 0x00 (0% default)
Register 0xAB PWM2 Duty Cycle = 0x00 (0% default)
Register 0xAC PWM3 Duty Cycle = 0x00 (0% default)
Register 0xAD PWM4 Duty Cycle = 0x00 (0% default)
By reading the PWMx current duty cycle registers, the
user can keep track of the current duty cycle on each PWM
output, even when the fans are running in automatic fan
speed control mode or acoustic enhancement mode.

ADT7462
individually configure the thermal characteristics of those
temperature channels. For example, the CPU fan can be run
when CPU temperature increases above 60°C and a chassis
fan can be run 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 51 shows controls that are
fan-specific. The designer has control over individual
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.
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 these values should be selected carefully.
Figure 51 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan
control circuitry on the ADT7462. From a systems-level
perspective, up to four system temperatures can be
monitored and used to control four PWM outputs. The four
PWM outputs can be used to control up to eight fans. The
ADT7462 allows the speed of eight fans to be monitored.
The Remote 1 and Remote 2 temperature channels have a
thermal calibration block, allowing the designer to

Step 1 − Configuring the MUX
PWM1, PWM2, PWM3, and PWM4 outputs. The values
selected for these bits determine how the MUX connects a
temperature measurement channel to a PWM output (see
Figure 52).
First, the user needs to decide how many temperature
channels are being measured and how many fans need to be
controlled and monitored. When these decisions have been
made, 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;
they can be run manually (under software control) or they
can be run 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 0x21, Register 0x22,
Register 0x23, and Register 0x24 (PWM configuration
registers) control the behavior of the fans connected to the
Automatic Fan Control MUX Options
Bits [7:5] (BHVR), of Register 0x21, Register 0x22,
Register 0x23, and Register 0x24, control the behavior of the
corresponding PWM outputs (see Table 61 and Table 62).
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 the Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60°C or when
the local temperature exceeds 45°C.

ADT7462
Step 2 − TMIN Settings for Thermal Calibration
Channels
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: local, Remote 1, Remote 2, and Remote 3. When the
TMIN value is exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at the
minimum PWM duty cycle. The fan turns off after the
temperature has dropped below TMIN − THYST.
TMIN is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on
under automatic fan control. The speed at which the fan runs
at TMIN is programmed later. 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.

Step 3 − PWMMIN for Each PWM (Fan) Output
REAR CAHSSIS
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 that of Fan 2 connected to PWM2. Figure 55
illustrates this as PWM1MIN (the front fan) turns on at a
minimum duty cycle of 20%, while PWM2MIN (the rear fan)
turns on at a minimum duty cycle of 40%. Note, however,
that both fans turn on at exactly the same temperature,
defined by TMIN.
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 when the temperature rises
above TMIN. For maximum system acoustic benefit,
PWMMIN should be as low as possible. Depending on the
fan used, the PWMMIN setting is usually in the 20% to 33%
duty cycle range. This value can be found through fan
validation.

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
Example 1: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 50%,
Value (decimal) = 50/0.39 = 128 (decimal)
Value = 128 (decimal) or 0x80 (hexadecimal)
Example 2: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 33%,

Note on Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle
The PWM duty cycle does not directly correlate to fan
speed in rpm. Running a fan at 33% PWM duty cycle does
not equate to running the fan at 33% speed. Driving a fan at
33% PWM duty cycle 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 PWM duty cycle.
Given a PWM square wave as the drive signal, fan speed in
rpm approximates to:
% fanspeed + ǸPWM duty cycle

Step 5 − TRANGE for Temperature Channels
TRANGE is the range of temperatures over which
automatic fan control occurs when the programmed TMIN
temperature is exceeded. TRANGE is a temperature slope, not
an arbitrary value; that is, a TRANGE of 40°C holds true only
for PWMMIN = 33%. If PWMMIN is increased or decreased,
the effective TRANGE changes.
Step 4 − PWMMAX for PWM (Fan) Outputs
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 one PWMMAX limit (Register 0x2C) for all fan
channels.

The TRANGE or fan control slope is determined by the

that channel (for example, 70°C).
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

where:
TMAX is the temperature at which the fan runs full speed.
TMIN is the temperature at which the fan turns on.
Max DC is the maximum duty cycle (100%) = 255 decimal.

TRANGE is the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature slope.

This example uses the MUX configuration described in
the Step 1 − Configuring the MUX section. Both CPU
temperature and VRM temperature drive the CPU fan
connected to PWM1. 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%.
Figure 60. TRANGE vs. Actual Fan Speed Profile
The graphs in Figure 60 assume that the fan starts from
0% PWM duty cycle. Clearly, the minimum PWM duty
cycle, PWMMIN, needs to be factored in to see how the loop
actually performs in the system. Figure 61 shows how
TRANGE is affected when the PWMMIN value is set to 20%.
It can be seen that the fan runs about 45% fan speed when the
temperature exceeds TMIN.

Note on 4-wire Fans
The TTHERM limit should be considered as 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 it must not be exceeded under
normal system operating conditions.
Note that the TTHERM limits cannot be masked, and they
affect the fan speed no matter how the 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).
The control range for 4-wire fans is much wider than that
of 2-wire or 3-wire fans. In many cases, 4-wire fans can start
with a PWM drive of as little as 20%.

Step 6 − TTHERM for Temperature Channels
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 measured
temperature exceeds TTHERM, all fans are driven at 100%
PWM duty cycle (full speed) to provide critical system
cooling. The fans remain running at 100% until the
temperature drops below TTHERM minus hysteresis, where
hysteresis is the number programmed into Local/Remote 1

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 value disables hysteresis. In effect, this
value causes the fans to cycle between normal speed and
100% speed, creating unsettling acoustic noise.

In addition to the automatic fan speed control mode
described in the Automatic Fan Control Overview section,
the ADT7462 has a mode that extends the basic automatic
fan speed control loop. Dynamic TMIN control allows the
ADT7462 to intelligently adapt the system’s cooling
solution for best system performance or lowest possible
system acoustics, depending on user or design requirements.
Use of dynamic TMIN control alleviates the need to design
for worst-case conditions and significantly reduces system
design and validation time.

Designing for Worst-Case Conditions
System design must always allow for worst-case
conditions. In PC design, the worst-case conditions include,
but are not limited to, the following:
• Worst-Case Altitude
A computer can be operated at different altitudes.
Altitude affects the relative air density, which alters the
effectiveness of the fan cooling solution. For example,
when comparing 40°C air temperature at 10,000 feet to
20°C air temperature at sea level, relative air density is
increased by 40%. This means that the fan can spin
40% slower and make less noise at sea level than at
10,000 feet while keeping the system at the same
temperature at both locations.
• Worst-Case Fan
Due to manufacturing tolerances, fan speeds in rpm are
normally quoted with a tolerance of ±20%. The
designer must assume that the fan rpm can be 20%
below tolerance. This translates to reduced system
airflow and elevated system temperature. Note that fans
20% out of tolerance can negatively impact system
acoustics because they run faster and generate more
noise.
• Worst-Case Chassis Airflow
The same motherboard can be used in a number of
different chassis configurations. The design of the
chassis and the physical location of fans and
components determine the system’s thermal
characteristics. Moreover, for a given chassis, the
addition of add-in cards, cables, or other system
configuration options can alter the system airflow and
reduce the effectiveness of the system cooling solution.
The cooling solution can also be inadvertently altered
by the end user. (For example, placing a computer
against a wall can block the air ducts and reduce system
airflow.)
Step 7 − THYST for Temperature Channels
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 hovers near 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 is
turning on and off. Values of hysteresis are programmable in
the range of 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.

Register 0x61, Bits [3:0] Remote 1 HYS
Register 0x62, Bits [3:0] Remote 2 HYS

In some applications, it is required that fans not turn off
below TMIN but remain running at PWMMIN. Bits [1:0] of
the PWM1, PWM2 Frequency Register (0x25) and the
PWM3, PWM4 Frequency Register (0x26) 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.

based on system performance and measured temperature.
This is important because, instead of designing for the worst
case, the system thermals can be defined as operating zones.
The ADT7462 can self-adjust its fan control loop to
maintain either an operating zone temperature or a system
target temperature. For example, it can be specified that
ambient temperature in a system be maintained at 50°C. If
the temperature is below 50°C, the fans might not need to run
or might run very slowly. If the temperature is higher than
50°C, the fans need to throttle up.
The challenge presented by any thermal design is finding
the right settings to suit the system’s fan control solution.
This can involve designing for the worst case, followed by
weeks of system thermal characterization and, finally, fan
acoustic optimization (for psycho-acoustic reasons).
Obtaining the greatest benefit from the automatic fan
control mode involves characterizing the system to find the
best TMIN and TRANGE settings for the control loop and the
best PWMMIN value for the quietest fan speed setting. Using
the ADT7462 dynamic TMIN control mode, however,
shortens the characterization time and alleviates tweaking the
control loop settings, because the device can self-adjust
during system operation.
Dynamic TMIN control mode is operated by specifying the
operating zone temperatures required for the system.
Remote 1 and Remote 2 channels have dedicated operating
point registers. This allows the system thermal solution to be
broken down into distinct thermal zones. For example, CPU
operating temperature is 70°C, VRM operating temperature
is 80°C, and ambient operating temperature is 50°C. The
ADT7462 dynamically alters the control solution to
maintain each zone temperature as close as possible to its
target operating point.
Figure 67 shows an overview of the parameters that affect
the operation of the dynamic TMIN control loop.

•
This data sheet maximum does not necessarily reflect
the true processor power consumption. Designing for
worst-case CPU power consumption can result in a
processor becoming over-cooled (generating excess
system noise).
Worst-Case Peripheral Power Consumption
The tendency is to design to data sheet maximums for
peripheral components (again over-cooling the system).
Worst-Case Assembly
Every system manufactured is unique because of
manufacturing variations. Heat sinks may be loose
fitting or slightly misaligned. Too much or too little
thermal grease may be used. Variations in application
pressure for thermal interface material can affect the
efficiency of the thermal solution. Accounting for
manufacturing variations in every system is difficult;
therefore, the system must be designed for the

SMBALERT interrupt can be generated.
TMIN
The temperature at which the fan turns on
under automatic fan speed control.
Operating
Point
The maximum target temperature for a
particular temperature zone. The system
attempts to maintain system temperature
around the operating point by adjusting the
TMIN parameter of the control loop.
TTHERM
If the temperature exceeds this critical limit, the
fans can be run at 100% for maximum cooling.
TRANGE
Programs the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature
control slope.
Operating Point Hysteresis Register
The operating point hysteresis register sets the value
below the operating point at which TMIN begins to reduce.
Register 0x64, Bits [7:4] Operating Point Hysteresis = 0x40
(4°C Default)
Step 9 − High and Low Limits for Temperature
Channels
The low limit defines the temperature at which the TMIN
value starts to be increased, if temperature falls below this
value. This has the net effect of reducing the fan speed,
allowing the system to get hotter. An interrupt can be
generated when the temperature drops below the low limit.
The high limit should be set above the operating point but
below the critical THERM point. An interrupt can be
generated when the temperature rises above the high limit.
Dynamic TMIN Control Programming
Because the dynamic TMIN control mode is a basic
extension of the automatic fan control mode, the automatic
fan control mode parameters should be programmed first
(see Step 1 − Configuring the MUX through Step 8 −
Operating Points for Temperature Channels). Then proceed
with dynamic TMIN control mode programming.
How Dynamic TMIN Control Works
The basic operation of dynamic TMIN control is as
follows:
1. Set the target temperature for the temperature
zone, which could be, for example, the Remote 1
thermal diode. This value is programmed to the
Remote 1 operating point register.
2. As the temperature in that zone rises toward and
exceeds the operating point temperature minus
hysteresis, TMIN is reduced and fan speed
increases.
3. As the temperature drops below the low limit
value, TMIN is increased and the fan speed is
reduced.
Step 8 − Operating Points for Temperature Channels
The operating point for each temperature channel is the
optimal temperature for that thermal zone. The hotter each
zone is allowed to be, the quieter the system, because the fans
are not required to run as fast. The ADT7462 increases or
decreases fan speeds as necessary to maintain the operating
point temperature, allowing for system-to-system variation
and removing the need for worst-case design. If a sensible
operating point value is chosen, any TMIN value can be
selected in the system characterization. If the TMIN value is
too low, the fans run sooner than required, and the
temperature is below the operating point. In response, the
ADT7462 increases TMIN to keep the fans off longer and to
allow the temperature zone to get closer to the operating
point. Likewise, too high a TMIN value causes the operating
point to be exceeded, and in turn, the ADT7462 reduces TMIN
to turn the fans on sooner to cool the system.
Short Cycle and Long Cycle
The ADT7462 implements two loops: a short (or
decrease) cycle and a long (or increase) cycle. The short
cycle takes place every n monitoring cycles. The long cycle
takes place every 2n monitoring cycles. The value of n is
programmable for each temperature channel. The bits are
located at the following register locations.
Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (0x0C)
Programming the Operating Point Registers
Bits [2:0] (CYR1) = Remote 1
Bits [5:3] (CYR2) = Remote 2
There are two operating point registers, one for the
Remote 1 temperature channel and one for the Remote 2
temperature channel. These 8-bit registers allow the
operating point temperatures to be programmed with 1°C
resolution.

The following examples illustrate some of the
circumstances that may cause TMIN to increase, decrease, or
stay the same.
Example 1: Normal Operation, No TMIN Adjustment
1. If the measured temperature never exceeds the
programmed operating point minus the hysteresis
temperature, TMIN is not adjusted; that is, it
remains at its current setting.
2. If the measured temperature never drops below the
low temperature limit, TMIN is not adjusted.

The cycle time must be chosen carefully. A long cycle
time means that TMIN is updated less often. If a system has
very fast temperature transients, the dynamic TMIN control
loop is always lagging. If a cycle time that is too short is
chosen, the full benefit of changing TMIN is not realized and
TMIN needs to change again on the next cycle. In effect, it is
overshooting. It is necessary to carry out some calibration to
identify the most suitable response time.
Figure 68 shows the steps taken during the short cycle.

Figure 70. Temperature Between the Operating Point
and the Low Temperature Limit
Because neither the operating point minus the hysteresis
temperature nor the low temperature limit has been
exceeded, the TMIN value is not adjusted, and the fan runs at
a speed determined by the fixed TMIN and TRANGE values
defined in the automatic fan speed control mode.
Example 2: Operating Point Exceeded, TMIN Reduced
When the measured temperature is below the operating
point temperature minus the hysteresis, TMIN remains the
same. Once the temperature exceeds the operating
temperature minus the hysteresis (OP − Hyst), TMIN starts
to decrease as illustrated in Figure 71. This occurs during the
short cycle (see Figure 68). The rate at which TMIN
decreases depends on the programmed value of n. It also
depends on how much the temperature has increased
between this monitoring cycle and the last monitoring cycle;
that is, if the temperature has increased by 1°C, then TMIN
is reduced by 2°C. Decreasing TMIN has the effect of
increasing the fan speed, thus providing more cooling to the
system.
If the temperature is slowly increasing only in the range
(OP − Hyst), that is, ≤0.25°C per short monitoring cycle,
then TMIN does not decrease. This allows small changes in
temperature in the desired operating zone without changing
TMIN. The long cycle makes no change to TMIN in the
temperature range (OP − Hyst), because the temperature has
not exceeded the operating temperature.
When the temperature exceeds the operating temperature,
the long cycle causes TMIN to be reduced by 1°C every long
cycle while the temperature remains above the operating
temperature. This takes place in addition to the decrease in
TMIN that would occur due to the short cycle. In Figure 70,
because the temperature is increasing at a rate ≤0.25°C per
short cycle, no reduction in TMIN takes place during the
short cycle.

Example 3: Temperature Below Low Limit, TMIN Increased
When the temperature drops below the low temperature
limit, TMIN may increase, as shown in Figure 72. Increasing
TMIN has the effect of running the fan more slowly and,
therefore, more quietly. The long cycle diagram in Figure 69
shows the conditions that need to be true for TMIN to
increase. The following is a quick summary of those
conditions and the reasons they need to be true:
TMIN may increase, if
• The measured temperature has fallen below the low
temperature limit. This means the user must choose the
low limit carefully. It should not be so low that the
temperature never falls below it, because TMIN would
never increase and the fans would run faster than
necessary.
• TMIN is below the high temperature limit. TMIN is
never allowed to increase above the high temperature
limit. As a result, the high limit should be sensibly
chosen, because it determines how high TMIN can go.
• TMIN is below the operating point temperature. TMIN
should never be allowed to increase above the operating
point temperature, because the fans do not switch on
until the temperature rises above the operating point.
• The temperature is above TMIN. The dynamic TMIN
control is turned off below TMIN.

temperatures can be copied into the operating point registers
on a THERM assertion. Setting these bits to 1 uses the
remote temperature as the operating point temperature,
overwriting the programmed operating point value in the
event of a THERM assertion. Setting these bits to 0 ignores
a THERM assertion, and the operating point register
remains at the programmed value.
Enhancing System Acoustics
Automatic fan speed control mode reacts instantaneously
to changes in temperature; that is, the PWM duty cycle
responds immediately to temperature change. Any impulses
in temperature can cause an impulse in fan noise. For
psycho-acoustic reasons, the ADT7462 can prevent the
PWM output from reacting instantaneously to temperature
changes. Enhanced acoustic mode controls the maximum
change in PWM duty cycle at a given time. The objective is
to prevent the fan from cycling up and down, annoying the
user.
Step 10 − Monitoring THERM
Using the operating point limit ensures that the dynamic
TMIN control mode is operating in the best possible acoustic
position, while ensuring that the temperature never exceeds
the maximum operating temperature. Using the operating
point limit allows TMIN to be independent of system-level
issues because of its self-corrective nature. In PC design, the
operating point for the chassis is usually the worst-case
internal chassis temperature.
The optimal operating point for the processor is
determined by monitoring the thermal monitor in the Intel
Pentium® 4 processor. To do this, the PROCHOT output of
the Pentium® 4 is connected to the THERM input of the
ADT7462.
The operating point for the processor can be determined
by allowing the current temperature to be copied to the
operating point register when the PROCHOT output pulls
the THERM input low on the ADT7462. This gives the
maximum temperature at which the Pentium® 4 can run
before clock modulation occurs.
Acoustic Enhancement Mode Overview
Figure 74 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan
control circuitry on the ADT7462 and shows where acoustic
enhancement fits in. Acoustic enhancement is intended as a
post-design tweak made by a system or mechanical engineer
evaluating best settings for the system. Having determined
the optimal settings for the thermal solution, the engineer
can adjust the system acoustics. The goal is to implement a
system that is acoustically pleasing without causing user
annoyance due to fan cycling. It is important to realize that
although a system might pass an acoustic noise requirement
specification (for example, 36 dB), if the fan is annoying, it
fails the consumer test.

Approaches to System Acoustic Enhancement
Effect of Ramp Rate on Enhanced Acoustic Mode
There are two different approaches to implementing
system acoustic enhancement: temperature-centric and
fan-centric.
The temperature-centric approach involves smoothing
transient temperatures as they are measured by a
temperature source (for example, Remote 1 temperature).
The temperature values used to calculate the PWM duty
cycle values are smoothed, reducing fan speed variation.
However, this approach causes an inherent delay in updating
fan speed and causes the thermal characteristics of the
system to change. It also causes the system fans to stay on
longer than necessary, because the fan’s reaction is merely
delayed. The user has no control over noise from different
fans driven by the same temperature source. Consider, for
example, a system in which control of a CPU cooler fan (on
PWM1) and a chassis fan (on PWM2) uses Remote 1
temperature. Because the Remote 1 temperature is
smoothed, both fans are updated at exactly the same rate. If
the chassis fan is much louder than the CPU fan, there is no
way to improve its acoustics without changing the thermal
solution of the CPU cooling fan.
The fan-centric approach to system acoustic enhancement
controls the PWM duty cycle, driving the fan at a fixed rate
(for example, 6%). Each time the PWM duty cycle is
updated, it is incremented by a fixed 6%. As a result, the fan
ramps smoothly to its newly calculated speed. If the
temperature starts to drop, the PWM duty cycle immediately
decreases by 6% at every update. Therefore, the fan ramps
smoothly up or down without inherent system delay.
Consider, for example, controlling the same CPU cooler
fan (on PWM1) and chassis fan (on PWM2) using Remote 1
temperature. The TMIN and TRANGE settings have already
been defined in automatic fan speed control mode; that is,
thermal characterization of the control loop has been
optimized. The chassis fan is noisier than the CPU cooling
fan. Using the fan-centric approach, PWM2 can be placed
into acoustic enhancement mode independently of PWM1.
The acoustics of the chassis fan can, therefore, be adjusted
without affecting the acoustic behavior of the CPU cooling
fan, even though both fans are controlled by Remote 1
temperature. The fan centric approach is how acoustic
enhancement works on the ADT7462.
The PWM signal driving the fan has a period, t, given by
the PWM drive frequency, f, because t = 1/f. For a given
PWM period, t, the PWM period is subdivided into 255
equal time slots. One time slot corresponds to the smallest
possible increment in the PWM duty cycle. A PWM signal
of 33% duty cycle is, therefore, high for 1/3 × 255 time slots
and low for 2/3 × 255 time slots. Therefore, a 33% PWM
duty cycle corresponds to a signal that is high for 85 time
slots and low for 170 time slots.

The ramp rates in the enhanced acoustics mode are
selectable from 1 to 8. The ramp rates are discrete time slots.
For example, if the ramp rate is 8, then eight time slots are
added to the PWM high duty cycle each time the PWM duty
cycle needs to be increased. If the PWM duty cycle value
needs to be decreased, it is decreased by eight time slots.

ADT7462
Another way to view the ramp rates is to measure the time
it takes for the PWM output to ramp up from 0% to 100%
duty cycle for an instantaneous change in temperature. This
can be tested by putting the ADT7462 into manual mode and
changing the PWM output from 0% to 100% PWM duty
cycle. The PWM output takes 35 seconds to reach 100%
when a ramp rate of one time slot is selected.
Figure 77 shows remote temperature plotted against PWM
duty cycle for enhanced acoustics mode. The ramp rate is set
to 48, which corresponds to the fastest ramp rate. Assume that
a new temperature reading is available every 115 ms. With
these settings, it takes approximately 0.76 seconds to go from
33% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full speed). Even though
the temperature increases very rapidly, the fan ramps up to
full speed gradually.
previous PWM value, the previous PWM duty cycle is
decremented by 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, or 48 time slots. Each
time the PWM duty cycle is incremented or decremented, its
value is stored as the previous PWM duty cycle for the next
comparison.
A ramp rate of 1 corresponds to one time slot, which is
1/255 of the PWM period. In enhanced acoustics mode,
incrementing or decrementing by 1 changes the PWM
output by 1/255 × 100%.
Step 11 − Ramp Rate for Acoustic Enhancement
The optimal ramp rate for acoustic enhancement can be
found through system characterization after the thermal
optimization has been finished. The effect of each ramp rate
should be logged, if possible, to determine the best setting
for a given solution.

Fan Freewheeling Test Mode
The fan freewheeling test mode is intended to diagnose
whether fans connected to the ADT7462 are working
properly. It is particularly useful where fans coupled in the
duct can affect the airflow of another fan. If one fan has
failed, it may not be apparent, because moving air from other
fans can cause air to flow through the faulty fan, which in
turn can cause the faulty fan to rotate.
The fan freewheeling test is most useful in a system using
primary and redundant setup. In such a system, the
following setup is recommended. The primary fans are
Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3, and Fan 4. The redundant fans are
Fan 5, Fan 6, Fan 7, and Fan 8. In this setup, each primary
and redundant fan can be driven separately because they are
driven by different PWMs.

Figure 80. Enhanced Acoustics Mode with Ramp
Rate = 1
As Figure 77 to Figure 80 show, the rate at which the fan
reacts to temperature change is dependent on the ramp rate
selected in the enhanced acoustics registers. The higher the
ramp rate, the faster the fan reaches the newly calculated fan
speed.
Figure 81 shows the behavior of the PWM output as
temperature varies. As the temperature increases, the fan
speed ramps up. Small drops in temperature do not affect the
ramp-up function, because the newly calculated fan speed is
still higher than the previous PWM value. Enhanced
acoustics mode allows the PWM output to be made less
sensitive to temperature variations. This is dependent on the
ramp rate selected and programmed into the enhanced
acoustics registers.

register (0xBD) should be read directly after completion of
the test.
The freewheeling test procedure is as follows:
1. PWM1 and PWM2 go to full speed, and PWM3
and PWM4 are switched off.
2. After the spin-up time of PWM1 and PWM2 has
elapsed, the speed of Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3, and
Fan 4 is measured.
3. After the speed of Fan 1 and Fan 2 is measured,
PWM1 is switched off and PWM3 is spun up.
After the spin-up time for PWM3 has elapsed, the
speed of Fan 5 and Fan 6 is measured.
4. After the speed of Fan 3 and Fan 4 is measured,
PWM2 is switched off and PWM4 is switched on.
After the spin-up time of PWM4 has elapsed, the
speed of Fan 7 and Fan 8 is measured.
5. After the speed of all eight fans has been
measured, the TACH and PWM configurations
return to their previous values.
• Fans must be in continuous mode for the
freewheeling test; that is, the dc bits must be set
(Register 0x08).
• To enable the freewheeling test, set the
freewheeling test enable register (0x1E) to a
nonzero value. Set Bit 0 = 1 to enable the
freewheeling test for Fan 1, and set Bit 1 for Fan 2,
all the way to Bit 7 for Fan 8. The freewheeling
test enable register should be programmed after the
fans present register is programmed. If the fans
present register is not programmed first, then the
values in the two registers do not match, and the
ADT7462 assumes that a fan is missing.
THERM I/O Operation
This section describes the operation of THERM1 and
THERM2. Pin 28 and Pin 29 can both be configured as
THERM inputs or outputs.
THERM Output
THERM is not enabled as an output by default on powerup,
but it can be enabled by setting the appropriate bits in
Register 0x0E (THERM1 configuration register) and
Register 0x0F (THERM2 configuration register). THERM1
and THERM2 can be configured to assert whenever a
specific channel exceeds the specified THERM limit (see
Table 30).

As an output, THERM is asserted low to signal that the
measured THERM temperature has exceeded preprogrammed THERM temperature limits. The output is
automatically pulled high again when the temperature falls
below the (THERM − Hysteresis) limit. The value of
hysteresis for each channel is programmable in Register
0x54 and Register 0x55, where 1 LSB = 1°C, and the
maximum hysteresis for each channel is 15°C.
Setting the THERM boost bits, Bit 0 and Bit 1, to Logic 0
(default setting) in the THERM configuration register
(0x0D), sets the fans to full speed on an internal THERM
event.
The following registers must be programmed for the fan
freewheeling test:
Fans Present Register (0x1D)
Set Bit 0 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH1.
Set Bit 1 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH2.
Set Bit 2 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH3.
Set Bit 3 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH4.
Set Bit 4 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH5.
Set Bit 5 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH6.
Set Bit 6 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH7.
Set Bit 7 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH8.
Fan Freewheeling Test Enable Register (0x1E)
Set Bit 0 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 1.
Set Bit 1 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 2.
Set Bit 2 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 3.
Set Bit 3 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 4.
Set Bit 4 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 5.
Set Bit 5 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 6.
Set Bit 6 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 7.
Set Bit 7 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 8.
Fan Freewheeling Test Register (0x1C)
Both the Fans Present register (0x1D) and the
freewheeling test enable register (0x1E) should be
programmed before setting the relevant bits in the fan
freewheeling test register (0x1C). The host fan status
THERM Input
To configure THERM as an input, the
THERM1_Timer_Enable (T1TE) bit (Bit 0) in the
THERM1 configuration register (0x0E) and the
THERM2_Timer_Enable (T2TE) bit (Bit 0) in the
THERM2 configuration register (0x0F) must be set to
Logic 1. The ADT7462 can then be used to detect when the
THERM pins are asserted low. The THERM pins can be
connected to a trip point temperature sensor or to the
PROCHOT output of a CPU.
With processor core voltages reducing all the time, the
threshold for the AGTL + PROCHOT output is also reduced
as new processors become available.
Because the THERM input is typically an AGTL + input,
the thresholds can be referenced to VCCP. By setting Bit 4 of
Configuration Register 3 (0x03) to 1, the THERM threshold
www.onsemi.com
50
ADT7462
is 2/3 × VCCP, the correct threshold for an AGTL + signal.
The THERM assert bits in Host Thermal Status Register 2
(0xB9) are set to Logic 1 whenever the THERM input is
asserted low. The THERM state bits in Host Thermal Status
Register 2 (0xB9) indicate that a high-to-low transition has
taken place on the THERM pin.
When the measured percentage exceeds the
corresponding percentage limit, the T1% bit in Host
Thermal Status Register 2 (0xB9) is asserted, and an
ALERT is generated (that is, if the mask bit is not set). If the
limit is set to 0x00, an ALERT is generated on the first
assertion. If the limit is set to 0xFF, an ALERT is never
generated because 0xFF corresponds to the THERM input
being asserted all the time.
When THERM is configured as an input only, setting Bits
[4:1] of the THERM zone in the THERM1 configuration
register (0x0E) and the THERM2 configuration register
(0x0F) allows Pin 28/Pin 29 to operate as an I/O.

The ADT7462 can also measure assertion times on the
THERM inputs as a percentage of a timer window. The timer
window for the THERM1 input is programmed using
Bits [4:2] of the THERM configuration register (0x0D). The
timer window for the THERM2 input is programmed using
Bits [7:5] of the THERM configuration register (0x0D).
Values from 0.25 sec to 8 sec are programmable (see

General-Purpose I/O Pins
The ADT7462 has eight open-drain GPIO pins. GPIO1 to
GPIO4 can be configured to enable event driven outputs
(EDOs), and GPIO5 and GPIO6 can act as EDOs, if the EDO
functionality is enabled. Two other GPIOs (GPIO7 and
GPIO8) are standard GPIO pins that are dedicated to
general-purpose logic input/output.
Each GPIO pin has five data bits associated with it: three
bits in a GPIO configuration register (0x09 and 0x0A), one
in the GPIO status register (0xBF), and one in the GPIO
mask register (0x36).
Setting a direction bit to 1 in a GPIO configuration register
makes the corresponding GPIO pin an output.
Clearing the direction bit to 0 makes the corresponding
GPIO pin an input.
Setting a polarity bit to 1 in a GPIO configuration register
makes the corresponding GPIO pin active high.
Clearing the polarity bit to 0 makes the corresponding
GPIO pin active low.
When a GPIO pin is configured as an input, the
corresponding bit in the GPIO status register is read-only,
and it is set when the input is asserted (“asserted” can be high
or low, depending on the setting of the polarity bit).
Table 32. THERM ON-TIME AND TIMER LIMIT
REGISTER
% On-Time Register
FF + 100%
When the time window has elapsed, if the THERM limit
has been exceeded, then an ALERT is generated.
The assertion time as a percentage of the timer window is
stored in the THERM % on-time registers. This is a
cumulative sum of the percentage of time during the
THERM timer window that THERM is asserted. The %
on-time and associated timer limit registers are listed in
Table 32.

ADT7462
When a GPIO pin is configured as an output, the
corresponding bit in the GPIO status register becomes
read/write. Setting this bit then asserts the GPIO output.
(Again, “asserted” can be high or low, depending on the
setting of the polarity bit.) The effect of a GPIO status
register bit on the ALERT output can be masked by setting
the corresponding bit in one of the GPIO mask registers.
When the pin is configured as an output, the
corresponding status bit is automatically masked to prevent
the data written to the status bit from causing an interrupt.
When configured as inputs, the GPIO pins can be connected
to external interrupt sources such as temperature sensors
with digital output.
The polarity of the EDOs is set in the GPIO configuration
registers (0x09 and 0x0A).
Setting a polarity bit to 1 in one of the GPIO configuration
registers makes the corresponding GPIO pin active high.
Clearing the polarity bit to 0 makes it active low.

The ADT7462 has the added functionality that the
assertion of one of the four GPIOs (GPIO1 to GPIO4) can
be used to latch one of the two EDOs high or low. The
ADT7462 has two EDO event mask registers (0x37 and
0x38): one mask for each EDO. See Table 33 for an
explanation of event mask register functionality.
Bits [7:5] of each event mask register (0x37 and 0x38)
allow the EDO output to be driven high or low (depending
on the polarity bit of the configuration register) and latched
(depending on the EDO latch bit of the configuration
register), if the ADT7462 detects an overtemperature, an
over/undervoltage, or a fan failure condition.

GPIO Events Ignored by Output X
Behavior: What Drives and
Latches Output X (G = GPIO)
Other Digital Inputs
Table 33 shows that any of the four designated GPIO pins
can be used to set or reset either one of the two EDO outputs.
Using this functionality, it is possible to have the
ADT7462 drive LEDs or signals based on rules. For
example, if a GPIO1 (power fail), a GPIO2 (overcurrent), or
an overtemperature condition occurs, EDO1 (power supply
fault LED) can be latched. This does not require software
handling and makes the part more autonomous.
The ADT7462 contains other specific digital inputs that
can be found on PC motherboards. These inputs can be
monitored and configured for actions to occur on their
assertion.
www.onsemi.com
52
ADT7462
VR_HOT Inputs
Software Reset
Pin 25 and Pin 26 can be configured as VR_HOT inputs.
These are specific digital signals from the CPU voltage
regulator that indicate an overtemperature. On assertion of
these inputs, the relevant status bits are set in Thermal Status
Register 2 (Host Register 0xB9 or BMC Register 0xC1).
Assertion of these inputs can also be used to boost the fans
to full speed, thus providing emergency cooling in the event
of VR overtemperature. This is set using Bit 3 (VRD1) and
Bit 4 (VRD2) of Configuration Register 2 (0x02). There is
also an associated mask bit in Register 0x31 to mask the
assertion of these inputs from the ALERT output.
The ADT7462 can be reset in software by setting Bit 7 of
Configuration Register 0 (0x00). The code 0x6D must be
written to Register 0x7B before setting the software reset bit.
This register is cleared to the power-on default after the
software reset.
Note that not all registers are restored to their default
values on a reset. The same registers are reset by a hardware
and software reset. The Register Map section provides a
complete reference of registers that are reset.
Chassis Intrusion Input
The chassis intrusion (CI) input is an active high input
intended for detection and signaling of unauthorized
tampering with the system. When this input goes high, the
event is latched in Bit 7 of Host Digital Status Register
(0xBE), and an interrupt is generated. The bit remains set
until cleared by writing a 1 to CI reset (CI_R), Bit 5 of
Configuration Register 3 (0x03). The CI reset bit is cleared
by writing a 0 to it.
The CI circuit is powered from the VBATT voltage
channel. Pin 26 must be configured to monitor VBATT and
a battery must be connected to monitor CI events. CI
monitoring is disabled if the measured VBATT value (0x93)
is less than the lower voltage limit (0x75) of Pin 26.
The CI input detects chassis intrusion events even when
the ADT7462 is powered off (provided battery voltage is
applied to VBATT) but does not immediately generate an
interrupt. When a chassis intrusion event is detected and
latched, an interrupt is generated when the system is
powered on.
The actual detection of chassis intrusion is performed by
an external circuit that detects, for example, when the cover
has been removed. A wide variety of techniques can be used
for chassis detection. For example,
• A microswitch that opens or closes when the cover is
removed
• A reed switch operated by a magnet affixed to the cover
• A hall-effect switch operated by a magnet affixed to the
cover
• A photo-transistor that detects light when the cover is
removed
SCSI_TERM Inputs
Pin 16 and Pin 20 can be configured as SCSI_TERM
inputs. An assertion on the SCSI_TERM is recorded in Bit 4
and Bit 5 of Host Digital Status Register (0xBE) or BMC
Digital Status Register (0xC6). There is also an associated
mask bit in Register 0x35 to mask the assertion of these
inputs from the ALERT output.
Reset I/O
The ADT7462 includes an active low reset pin (Pin 14).
The RESET pin can be both a reset input and output. RESET
monitors the VCC input to the ADT7462. At powerup,
RESET is asserted (pulled low) until 180 ms after the power
supply has risen above the supply threshold. A power-on
reset initializes all registers to the default values.
VCC
1.0 V
RESET
180 ms
Figure 85. Operation of RESET Output on Powerup
The RESET pin can also function as a reset input. Pulling
this pin low externally resets the ADT7462. The user should
wait at least 180 ms after powerup before doing a hardware
reset. The reset pulse width should be greater than 0.8 ms to
ensure that a reset is registered.
A hardware reset differs from a power-on reset in that not
all of the registers are reinitialized to the default values. For
example, limit registers are not all restored to the default
values. This can be useful if the user needs to reset the part
but does not want to completely reprogram the device. The
Register Map section show, which registers, are reset.
Locked registers are not restored to default values by a
hardware reset.
Note that if two ADT7462 devices are used in one system,
the RESET pins should not be connected together between
devices. Doing so causes one device to reset the other on a
power-on reset.
Powerup Sequence
The powerup sequence of the ADT7462 is as follows:
1. The temperature of the thermal diode connected to
Pin 17 and Pin 18 (only dedicated thermal diode
channel) is monitored immediately on powerup of
the ADT7462. Ideally, the hottest zone should be
connected to this channel so protection is provided
immediately on powerup.
2. VCCP1 is also monitored immediately on powerup.
VCCP1 is typically connected to a main power rail.
www.onsemi.com
53
ADT7462
Switching on the VCCP1 rail gates the fan’s quiet
startup counter.
3. VBATT is monitored immediately on powerup
before the setup complete bit (Register 0x01,
Bit 5) is set. The chassis intrusion circuit (CI) is
powered from VBATT. If the measured VBATT
reading is lower than the lower limit
(default = 0x80), the CI circuit is turned off.
4. PWM1, PWM2, and PWM4 are not on dedicated
pins. Because these pins are shared with inputs,
they are allowed to float high on powerup. This
means that if a fan is connected to these pins, it
spins at full speed on powerup.
5. PWM3 is switched off by default (because this is a
dedicated pin). If no SMBus communication takes
place within 4.6 seconds of the VCCP rail
switching on, this PWM drive is driven to full
speed. If SMBus communication does take place,
this pin behaves as programmed.
6. No temperature or voltage (other than VCCP1,
Diode 2, and VBATT) is monitored until the setup
complete bit (Bit 5) is set in Configuration
Register 1 (0x01). This allows the user to program
the ADT7462 as required before monitoring of all
channels is enabled, thereby not generating false
ALERTs. The setup complete bit should not be set
PIN 1
until the device is fully configured for the desired
monitoring functions.
The following steps describe how to set up the ADT7462:
1. Powerup the device.
2. Choose the best-suited easy configuration option
for the application, changing pin functions as
required.
3. Program all appropriate limits for monitored
inputs. Program device parameters, fan control
parameters, mask bits, and anything else required
for the application.
4. Set the setup complete bit. Do not set this bit until
the device is fully set up.
XOR Tree Test
The ADT7462 includes an XOR tree test mode. This
mode is useful for in-circuit test equipment at board-level
testing. By applying stimulus to the pins included in the
XOR test, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the
system board. Figure 86 shows the signals exercised in the
XOR tree test. The XOR tree test is invoked by setting Bit 6
(XOR) of Configuration Register 3 (0x03).
Note that the digital inputs must be selected on
multifunctional pins for the XOR tree test mode. Pin 13 is
the open-drain output of the XOR tree test.
