Optimized for the Pentium III, the higher 1°C accuracy offered allows systems designers to safely reduce temperature guardbanding and increase system performance. A Pulsewidth Modulated (PWM) Fan Control output controls the speed of a cooling fan by varying output duty cycle. Duty cycle values between 33%–100% allow smooth control of the fan. The speed of the fan can be monitored via a TACH input for a fan with a tach output. The TACH input can be programmed as an analog input, allowing the speed of a 2-wire fan to be determined via a sense resistor. The device will also detect a stalled fan. A dedicated Fan Speed Control Loop provides control even without the intervention of CPU software. It also ensures that if the CPU or system locks up, the fan can still be controlled based on temperature measurements, and the fan speed adjusted to correct any changes in system temperature. Fan Speed may also be controlled using existing ACPI software. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a remote temperaturesensing diode with an accuracy of ± 1°C, and a local temperature sensor allows ambient temperature to be monitored. The device has a programmable INT output to indicate error conditions. There is a dedicated FAN_FAULT output to signal fan failure. The THERM pin is a fail-safe output for over-temperature conditions that can be used to throttle a CPU clock.

The device communicates with the system via a serial System Management Bus. The serial bus controller has a hardwired address pin for device selection (Pin 13), a serial data line for reading and writing addresses and data (Pin 15), and an input line for the serial clock (Pin 16). All control and programming functions of the ADM1030 are performed over the serial bus. The device also supports the SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) function. three-state input that can be grounded, connected to VCC, or left open-circuit to give three different addresses. The state of the ADD pin is only sampled at power-up, so changing ADD with power on will have no effect until the device is powered off, then on again. Table I. ADD Pin Truth Table ADD Pin GND No Connect VCC INTERNAL REGISTERS OF THE ADM1030 A brief description of the ADM1030’s principal internal registers is given below. More detailed information on the function of each register is given in Table XII to Table XXVI. Configuration Register Provides control and configuration of various functions on the device. Address Pointer Register This register contains the address that selects one of the other internal registers. When writing to the ADM1030, the first byte of data is always a register address, which is written to the Address Pointer Register. Status Registers These registers provide status of each limit comparison. Value and Limit Registers The results of temperature and fan speed measurements are stored in these registers, along with their limit values. The facility to make hardwired changes at the ADD pin allows the user to avoid conflicts with other devices sharing the same serial bus, for example, if more than one ADM1030 is used in a system. The serial bus 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 will follow. All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the START condition, and shift in the next 8 bits, consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an R/W bit that determines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data will be written to or read from the slave device. The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low during the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the Acknowledge Bit. All other devices on the bus now remain idle while the selected device waits for data to be read from or written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0, the master will write to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master will read from the slave device. This register is used to program the PWM duty cycle for the fan. Offset Registers Fan Characteristics Register This register is used to select the spin-up time, PWM frequency, and speed range for the fan used. THERM Limit Registers These registers contain the temperature values at which THERM will be asserted. TMIN/TRANGE Registers These registers are read/write registers that hold the minimum temperature value below which the fan will not run when the device is in Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode. These registers also hold the values defining the range over that auto fan control will be provided, and hence determines the temperature at which the fan will run at full speed. SERIAL BUS INTERFACE Control of the ADM1030 is carried out via the SMBus. The ADM1030 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master device, e.g., the 810 chipset. The ADM1030 has a 7-bit serial bus address. When the device is powered up, it will do so with a default serial bus address. The five MSBs of the address are set to 01011, the two LSBs are determined by the logical state of Pin 13 (ADD). This is a REV. 0 A0 0 0 1 If ADD is left open-circuit, the default address will be 0101110. Fan Speed Config Register Allows the temperature channel readings to be offset by a 5-bit two’s complement value written to these registers. These values will automatically be added to the temperature values (or subtracted from if negative). This allows the systems designer to optimize the system if required, by adding or subtracting up to 15°C from a temperature reading. A1 0 1 0 2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses, eight bits of data followed by an Acknowledge Bit from the slave device. Transitions on the data line must occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable during the high period, as a low-to-high transition when the clock is high may be interpreted as a STOP signal. The number of data bytes that can be transmitted over the serial bus in a single READ or WRITE operation is limited only by what the master and slave devices can handle. 3. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions are established. In WRITE mode, the master will pull the data line high during the tenth clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. In READ mode, the master device will override the acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high during the low period before the ninth clock pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The master will then take the data line low during the low period before the tenth clock pulse, then high during the tenth clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. Any number of bytes of data may 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. –7– ADM1030 In the case of the ADM1030, write operations contain either one or two bytes, and read operations contain one byte, and perform the following functions. as before, but only the data byte containing the register address is sent, as data is not to be written to the register. This is shown in Figure 2b. To write data to one of the device data registers or read data from it, the Address Pointer Register must be set so that the correct data register is addressed; data can then be written 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, then the write operation contains a second data byte that is written to the register selected by the address pointer register. A read operation is then performed consisting of the serial bus address, R/W bit set to 1, followed by the data byte read from the data register. This is shown in Figure 2c. 2. If the Address Pointer Register is known to be already at the desired address, data can be read from the corresponding data register without first writing to the Address Pointer Register, so Figure 2b can be omitted. NOTES 1. Although it is possible to read a data byte from a data register without first writing to the Address Pointer Register, if the Address Pointer Register is already at the correct value, it is not possible to write data to a register without writing to the Address Pointer Register, because the first data byte of a write is always written to the Address Pointer Register. This is illustrated in Figure 2a. The device address is sent over the bus followed by R/W 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: 2. In Figures 2a to 2c, the serial bus address is shown as the default value 01011(A1)(A0), where A1 and A0 are set by the three-state ADD pin. 1. If the ADM1030’s Address Pointer Register value is unknown or not the desired value, it is first necessary to set it to the correct value before data can be read from the desired data register. This is done by performing a write to the ADM1030 3. The ADM1030 also supports the Read Byte protocol, as described in the System Management Bus specification. 1 9 9 1 SCL 0 SDA 1 0 1 1 A0 A1 D6 D7 R/W D4 D5 D2 D3 D1 D0 ACK.

Reading Data from a Previously Selected Register –8– REV. 0 ADM1030 ALERT RESPONSE ADDRESS Alert Response Address (ARA) is a feature of SMBus devices that allows an interrupting device to identify itself to the host when multiple devices exist on the same bus. The INT output can be used as an interrupt output or can be used as an SMBALERT. One or more INT outputs can be connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the master. If a device’s INT line goes low, the following procedure occurs: Figure 3 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, provided for temperature monitoring on some microprocessors, but it could equally well be a discrete transistor. VDD I NⴛI IBIAS 1. SMBALERT pulled low. 2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the Alert Response Address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call address that must not be used as a specific device address. 3. The device whose INT output is low responds to the Alert Response Address, and the master reads its device address. The address of the device is now known and can be interrogated in the usual way. 4. If more than one device’s INT output is low, the one with the lowest device address will have priority, in accordance with normal SMBus arbitration. 5. Once the ADM1030 has responded to the Alert Response Address, it will reset its INT output; however, if the error condition that caused the interrupt persists, INT will be reasserted on the next monitoring cycle. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Internal Temperature Measurement The ADM1030 contains an on-chip bandgap temperature sensor. The on-chip ADC performs conversions on the output of this sensor and outputs the temperature data in 10-bit two’s complement format. The resolution of the local temperature sensor is 0.25°C. The format of the temperature data is shown in Table II. TO ADC BIAS DIODE D– VOUT– LOW-PASS FILTER fC = 65kHz Figure 3. Signal Conditioning If a discrete transistor is used, the collector will not be grounded, and should be linked to the base. If a PNP transistor is used, the base is connected to the D– input and the emitter to the D+ input. If an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is connected to the D– input and the base to the D+ input. One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 0.125°C, so the ADM1030 can theoretically measure temperatures from –127°C to +127.75°C, although –127°C is outside the operating range for the device. The extended temperature resolution data format is shown in Tables III and IV. Table II. Temperature Data Format (Local Temperature and Remote Temperature High Bytes) External Temperature Measurement The ADM1030 can measure the temperature of an external diode sensor or diode-connected transistor, connected to Pins 9 and 10. These pins are a dedicated temperature input channel. The function of Pin 7 is as a THERM input/output and is used to flag overtemperature conditions. The forward voltage of a diode or diode-connected transistor, operated at a constant current, exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of about –2 mV/°C. Unfortunately, the absolute value of VBE, varies from device to device, and individual calibration is required to null this out, so the technique is unsuitable for mass production. The technique used in the ADM1030 is to measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at two different currents. This is given by: ∆VBE = KT/q × ln (N) where: K is Boltzmann’s constant. q is charge on the carrier. T is absolute temperature in Kelvins. N is ratio of the two currents.

Arrangement of Signal Tracks Thermocouple effects should not be a major problem as 1°C corresponds to about 200 µV, and thermocouple voltages are about 3 µV/°C of temperature difference. Unless there are two thermocouples with a big temperature differential between them, thermocouple voltages should be much less than 200 µV. 5. Place a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to the ADM1030. 6. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is recommended. This will work up to about 6 to 12 feet. To measure ∆VΒΕ, the sensor is switched between operating currents of I and N × I. The resulting waveform is passed through a 65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise, then to a chopperstabilized amplifier that performs the functions of amplification and rectification of the waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to ∆VBE. This voltage is measured by the ADC to give a temperature output in 11-bit two’s complement format. To further reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles. An external temperature measurement nominally takes 9.6 ms. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments and care must be taken to protect the analog inputs from noise, particularly when measuring the very small voltages from a remote diode sensor. The following precautions should be taken: 7. For really long distances (up to 100 feet) use shielded twisted pair such as Belden #8451 microphone cable. Connect the twisted pair to D+ and D– and the shield to GND close to the ADM1030. Leave the remote end of the shield unconnected to avoid ground loops. Because the measurement technique uses switched current sources, excessive cable and/or filter capacitance can affect the measurement. When using long cables, the filter capacitor C1 may be reduced or removed. In any case the total shunt capacitance should not exceed 1000 pF. Cable resistance can also introduce errors. 1 Ω series resistance introduces about 0.5°C error. ADDRESSING THE DEVICE ADD (Pin 13) is a three-state input. It is sampled, on power-up to set the lowest two bits of the serial bus address. Up to three addresses are available to the systems designer via this address pin. This reduces the likelihood of conflicts with other devices attached to the System Management Bus. THE ADM1030 INTERRUPT SYSTEM 1. Place the ADM1030 as close as possible to the remote sensing diode. Provided that the worst noise sources such as clock generators, data/address buses, and CRTs are avoided, this distance can be 4 to 8 inches. 3. Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise pickup. 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is recommended. 10MIL 4. Try to minimize the number of copper/solder joints, which can cause thermocouple effects. Where copper/solder joints are used, make sure that they are in both the D+ and D– path and at the same temperature. To prevent ground noise 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. If the sensor is used in a very noisy environment, a capacitor of value up to 1000 pF may be placed between the D+ and D– inputs to filter the noise. 2. Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in parallel, with grounded guard tracks on each side. Provide a ground plane under the tracks if possible. 10MIL 10MIL Table IV. Local Sensor Extended Temperature Resolution Local Temperature Low Bits 10MIL 10MIL The extended temperature resolution for the local and remote channels is stored in the Extended Temperature Resolution Register (Register 0x06), and is outlined in Table XVIII. Extended Resolution (ⴗC) 10MIL The ADM1030 has two interrupt outputs, INT and THERM. These have different functions. INT responds to violations of software programmed temperature limits and is maskable (described in more detail later). THERM is intended as a “fail-safe” interrupt output that cannot be masked. If the temperature is below the low temperature limit, the INT pin will be asserted low to indicate an out-of-limit condition. If the temperature exceeds the high temperature limit, the INT pin will also be asserted low. A third limit; THERM limit, may be programmed into the device to set the temperature limit above which the overtemperature THERM pin will be –10– REV. 0 ADM1030 asserted low. The behavior of the high limit and THERM limit is as follows: fan is no longer at Alarm Speed. Bit 1 (Fan Fault) is set whenever a fan tach failure is detected. 1. Whenever the temperature measured exceeds the high temperature limit, the INT pin is asserted low. Once cleared, it will reassert on subsequent fan tach failures. Bits 2 and 3 of Status Register 1 are the Remote Temperature High and Low status bits. Exceeding the high or low temperature limits for the external channel sets these status bits. Reading the status register clears these bits. However, these bits will be reasserted if the out-of limit condition still exists on the next monitoring cycle. Bits 6 and 7 are the Local Temperature High and Low status bits. These behave exactly the same as the Remote Temperature High and Low status bits. Bit 4 of Status Register 1 indicates that the Remote Temperature THERM limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of Status Register 1 (see Figure 5). Bit 5 indicates a Remote Diode Error. This bit will be a 1 if a short or open is detected on the Remote Temperature channel on power-up. If this bit is set to 1 on power-up, it cannot be cleared. Bit 6 of Status Register 2 (0x03) indicates that the Local THERM limit has been exceeded. This bit is cleared on a read of Status Register 2. Bit 7 indicates that THERM has been pulled low as an input. This bit can also be cleared on a read of Status Register 2. 2. If the temperature exceeds the THERM limit, the THERM output asserts low. This can be used to throttle the CPU clock. If the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit (Bit 7 of THERM behavior/revision register) is cleared to 0, the fan will not run full-speed. The THERM limit may be programmed at a lower temperature than the high temperature limit. This allows the system to run in silent mode, where the CPU can be throttled while the cooling fan is off. If the temperature continues to increase, and exceeds the high temperature limit, an INT is generated. Software may then decide whether the fan should run to cool the CPU. This allows the system to run in SILENT MODE. 3. If the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit is set to 1, the fan will run full-speed whenever THERM is asserted low. In this case, both throttling and active cooling take place. If the high temperature limit is programmed to a lower value than the THERM limit, exceeding the high temperature limit will assert INT low. Software could change the speed of the fan depending on temperature readings. If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds the THERM limit, THERM asserts low to throttle the CPU and the fan runs full-speed. This allows the system to run in PERFORMANCE MODE, where active cooling takes place and the CPU is only throttled at high temperature. THERM LIMIT 5ⴗ TEMP Using the high temperature limit and the THERM limit in this way allows the user to gain maximum performance from the system by only slowing it down, should it be at a critical temperature. THERM Although the ADM1030 does not have a dedicated Interrupt Mask Register, clearing the appropriate enable bits in Configuration Register 2 will clear the appropriate interrupts and mask out future interrupts on that channel. Disabling interrupt bits will prevent out-of-limit conditions from generating an interrupt or setting a bit in the Status Registers. INT USING THERM AS AN INPUT The THERM pin is an open-drain input/output pin. When used as an output, it signals over-temperature conditions. When asserted low as an output, the fan will be driven full-speed if the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit is set to 1 (Bit 7 of Register 0x3F). When THERM is pulled low as an input, the THERM bit (Bit 7) of Status Register 2 is set to 1, and the fan is driven full-speed. Note that the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit has no effect whenever THERM is used as an input. If THERM is pulled low as an input, and the THERM-to-Fan Enable bit = 0, the fan will still be driven full-speed. The THERM-to-Fan Enable bit only affects the behavior of THERM when used as an output. STATUS REGISTERS All out-of-limit conditions are flagged by status bits in Status Registers 1 and 2 (0x02, 0x03). Bits 0 and 1 (Alarm Speed, Fan Fault) of Status Register 1, once set, may be cleared by reading Status Register 1. Once the Alarm Speed bit is cleared, this bit will not be reasserted on the next monitoring cycle even if the condition still persists. This bit may be reasserted only if the REV. 0 INT REARMED STATUS REG. READ Figure 5. Operation of THERM and INT Signals Figure 5 shows the interaction between INT and THERM. Once a critical temperature THERM limit is exceeded, both INT and THERM assert low. Reading the Status Registers clears the interrupt and the INT pin goes high. However, the THERM pin remains asserted until the measured temperature falls 5°C below the exceeded THERM limit. This feature can be used to CPU throttle or drive a fan full-speed for maximum cooling. Note, that the INT pin for that interrupt source is not rearmed until the temperature has fallen below the THERM limit –5°C. This prevents unnecessary interrupts from tying up valuable CPU resources. MODES OF OPERATION The ADM1030 has four different modes of operation. These modes determine the behavior of the system. 1. Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode. 2. Filtered Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode. 3. PWM Duty Cycle Select Mode (directly sets fan speed under software control). 4. RPM Feedback Mode. –11– ADM1030 The Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop is shown in Figure 6 below. = 40 ⴗC C 80 66 RA NG E 73 T HOW DOES THE CONTROL LOOP WORK? 87 TR PWM DUTY CYCLE – % 93 ANGE = 1 0ⴗC RA NG E =2 0ⴗ 100 T The ADM1030 has a local temperature channel and a remote temperature channel, which may be connected to an on-chip diode-connected transistor on a CPU. These two temperature channels may be used as the basis for an automatic fan speed control loop to drive a fan using Pulsewidth Modulation (PWM).

PWM Duty Cycle vs. Temperature Slopes (TRANGE) Figure 8 shows how, for a given TRANGE, changing the TMIN value affects the loop. Increasing the TMIN value will increase the TMAX (temperature at which the fan runs full speed) value, since TMAX = TMIN + TRANGE. Note, however, that the PWM Duty Cycle vs Temperature slope remains exactly the same. Changing the TMIN value merely shifts the control slope. The TMIN may be changed in increments of 4°C.

The temperature at which the fan will be at its maximum speed. At this temperature, the PWM duty cycle driving the fan will be 100%. TMAX is given by TMIN + TRANGE. Since this parameter is the sum of the TMIN and TRANGE parameters, it does not need to be programmed into a register on-chip. 4. A hysteresis value of 5°C is included in the control loop to prevent the fan continuously switching on and off if the temperature is close to TMIN. The fan will continue to run until such time as the temperature drops 5°C below TMIN. Figure 7 shows the different control slopes determined by the TRANGE value chosen, and programmed into the ADM1030. TMIN was set to 0 °C to start all slopes from the same point. It can be seen how changing the TRANGE value affects the PWM duty cycle versus temperature slope. ⴗC 40 = RA NG E T RA NG E 60 T 66 = = 40 40 73 ⴗC ⴗC 80 RA NG E 2. TRANGE.

The temperature at which the fan should switch on and run at minimum speed. The fan will only turn on once the temperature being measured rises above the TMIN value programmed. The fan will spin up for a predetermined time (default = 2 secs). See Fan Spin-Up section for more details. 53 47 40 33 0 TMIN 20 40 60 80 TMAX = T MIN + T RANGE TEMPERATURE – ⴗC Figure 8. Effect of Increasing TMIN Value on Control Loop FAN SPIN-UP As was previously mentioned, once the temperature being measured exceeds the TMIN value programmed, the fan will turn on at minimum speed (default = 33% duty cycle). However, the problem with fans being driven by PWM is that 33% duty cycle is not enough to reliably start the fan spinning. The solution is to spin the fan up for a predetermined time, and once the fan has spun up, its running speed may be reduced in line with the temperature being measured. The ADM1030 allows fan spin-up times between 200 ms and 8 seconds. Bits <2:0> of Fan Characteristics Register 1 (Register 0x20) program the fan spin-up time. –12– REV. 0 ADM1030 Table V.

The ADM1030 is placed into Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode by setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Register 0x00). The device powers up into Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode by default. The control mode offers further flexibility in that the user can decide which temperature channel/channels control the fan. 0ⴗ C =4 RA NG E 53 20 40 60 TMAX = T MIN + T RANGE TMIN LOCAL TEMPERATURE – ⴗC a. 100 Remote Temperature Controls the Fan.

Thus, the fan will be driven at 50% PWM duty cycle. Consider the local temperature measuring 60°C while the remote temperature is measuring 70°C. The PWM duty cycle calculated by the local temperature control loop will be 100% (since the temperature = TMAX). The PWM duty cycle calculated by the remote temperature control loop at 70°C will be approximately 90%. So the fan will run full-speed (100% duty cycle). Remember, that the fan speed will be based on the fastest speed calculated, and is not necessarily based on the highest temperature measured. Depending on the control loop parameters programmed, a lower temperature on 66 33 Control Operation (Config Register 1) Consider if both temperature channels measure 40°C. Both control loops will calculate a PWM duty cycle of 66%. Therefore, the fan will be driven at 66% duty cycle. 73 40 Bits 6, 5 Figure 9 shows how the fan’s PWM duty cycle is determined by two independent control loops. This is the type of Auto Mode Fan Behavior seen when Bits 5 and 6 of Config Register 1 are set to 11. Figure 9a shows the control loop for the Local Temperature channel. Its TMIN value has been programmed to 20°C, and its TRANGE value is 40°C. The local temperature’s TMAX will thus be 60°C. Figure 9b shows the control loop for the Remote Temperature channel. Its TMIN value has been set to 0°C, while its TRANGE = 80°C. Therefore, the Remote Temperature’s TMAX value will be 80°C. 80 47 Table VI. Auto Mode Fan Behavior When Bits 5 and 6 of Config Register 1 are both set to 1, it offers increased flexibility. The local and remote temperature channels can have independently programmed control loops with different control parameters.

OTHER CONTROL LOOP PARAMETERS Having programmed all the above loop parameters, are there any other parameters to worry about? TMIN was defined as being the temperature at which the fan switched on and ran at minimum speed. This minimum speed is 33% duty cycle by default. If the minimum PWM duty cycle is programmed to 33%, the fan control loops will operate as previously described. –13– ADM1030 The temperature at which the fan will run full-speed (100% duty cycle) is given by: It should be noted however, that changing the minimum PWM duty cycle affects the control loop behavior. Slope 1 of Figure 10 shows TMIN set to 0°C and the TRANGE chosen is 40°C. In this case, the fan’s PWM duty cycle will vary over the range 33% to 100%. The fan will run full-speed at 40°C. If the minimum PWM duty cycle at which the fan runs at TMIN is changed, its effect can be seen on Slopes 2 and 3. Take Case 2, where the minimum PWM duty cycle is reprogrammed from 33% (default) to 53%. TMAX = TMIN + ((Max DC – Min DC) × TRANGE/10) where, TMAX = Temperature at which fan runs full-speed. TMIN = Temperature at which fan will turn on. Max DC = Maximum Duty Cycle (100%) = 15 decimal. Min DC = Duty Cycle at TMIN, programmed into Fan Speed Config Register (default = 33% = 5 decimal). 100 TRANGE = PWM Duty Cycle versus Temperature Slope.

Effect of Changing Minimum Duty Cycle on Control Loop with Fixed TMIN and TRANGE Values The fan will actually reach full-speed at a much lower temperature, 28°C. Case 3 shows that when the minimum PWM duty cycle was increased to 73%, the temperature at which the fan ran full-speed was 16°C. So the effect of increasing the minimum PWM duty cycle, with a fixed TMIN and fixed TRANGE, is that the fan will actually reach full-speed (TMAX) at a lower temperature than TMIN + TRANGE. How can TMAX be calculated? In Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode, the register that holds the minimum PWM duty cycle at TMIN, is the Fan Speed Config Register (Register 0x22). Table VII shows the relationship between the decimal values written to the Fan Speed Config Register and PWM duty cycle obtained. Table VII.

TMAX = TMIN + ((Max DC – Min DC) × TRANGE/10) TMAX = 0 + ((100% DC – 33% DC) × 40/10) TMAX = 0 + ((15 – 5) × 4) = 40 TMAX = 40ⴗC (As seen on Slope 1 of Figure 10) In this case, since the Minimum Duty Cycle is the default 33%, the equation for TMAX reduces to: TMAX = TMIN + ((Max DC – Min DC) × TRANGE/10) TMAX = TMIN + ((15 – 5) × TRANGE/10) TMAX = TMIN + (10 × TRANGE/10) TMAX = TMIN + TRANGE –14– REV. 0 ADM1030 RELEVANT REGISTERS FOR AUTOMATIC FAN SPEED CONTROL MODE Register 0x00 Configuration Register 1 <7> Logic 1 selects Automatic Fan Speed Control, Logic 0 selects software control (Default = 1). <6:5> 00 = Remote Temperature controls Fan 11 = Fastest Calculated Speed controls the fan when Bit 7 = Logic 1.

In certain circumstances, we may not want the PWM output to react instantaneously to temperature changes. If significant variations in temperature were found in a system, it would have the effect of changing the fan speed, which could be obvious to someone in close proximity. One way to improve the system’s acoustics would be to slow down the loop so that the fan ramps slowly to its newly calculated fan speed. This also ensures that temperature transients will effectively be ignored, and the fan’s operation will be smooth. READ TEMPERATURE CALCULATE NEW PWM DUTY CYCLE IS NEW PWM VALUE > PREVIOUS VALUE? There are two means by which to apply filtering to the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop. The first method is to ramp the fan speed at a predetermined rate, to its newly calculated value instead of jumping directly to the new fan speed. The second approach involves changing the on-chip ADC sample rate, to change the number of temperature readings taken per second. The filtered mode on the ADM1030 is invoked by setting Bit 0 of the Fan Filter Register (Register 0x23). Once the Fan Filter Register has been written to, and all other control loop parameters (TMIN, TRANGE, etc.) have been programmed, the device may be placed into Automatic Fan Speed Control Mode by setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Register 0x00) to 1. NO DECREMENT PREVIOUS PWM VALUE BY RAMP RATE YES INCREMENT PREVIOUS PWM VALUE BY RAMP RATE Figure 12. Filtered Mode Algorithm Effect of Ramp Rate on Filtered Mode Bits <6:5> of the Fan Filter Register determine the ramp rate in Filtered Mode. The PWM_OUT signal driving the fan will have a period, T, given by the PWM_OUT drive frequency, f, since T = 1/f. For a given PWM period, T, the PWM period is subdivided into 240 equal time slots. One time slot corresponds to the smallest possible increment in PWM duty cycle. A PWM signal of 33% duty cycle will thus be high for 1/3 × 240 time slots and low for 2/3 × 240 time slots. Therefore, 33% PWM duty cycle corresponds to a signal which is high for 80 time slots and low for 160 time slots. The Filtered Mode algorithm calculates a new PWM duty cycle based on the temperature measured. If the new PWM duty cycle value is greater than the previous PWM value, the previous PWM duty cycle value is incremented by either 1, 2, 4, or 8 time slots (depending on the setting of bits <6:5> of the Fan Filter Register). If the new PWM duty cycle value is less than the previous PWM value, the previous PWM duty cycle is decremented by 1, 2, 4, or 8 time slots. Each time the PWM duty cycle is incremented or decremented, it is stored as the previous PWM duty cycle for the next comparison. So what does an increase of 1, 2, 4, or 8 time slots actually mean in terms of PWM duty cycle? A Ramp Rate of 1 corresponds to one time slot, which is 1/240 of the PWM period. In Filtered Auto Fan Speed Control Mode, incrementing or decrementing by 1 changes the PWM output duty cycle by 0.416%. PWM_OUT 33% DUTY CYCLE Table VIII. Effect of Ramp Rates on PWM_OUT 80 TIME SLOTS 160 TIME SLOTS PWM OUTPUT (ONE PERIOD) = 240 TIME SLOTS Figure 11. 33% PWM Duty Cycle Represented in Time Slots The ramp rates in Filtered Mode are selectable between 1, 2, 4, and 8. The ramp rates are actually discrete time slots. For example, if the ramp rate = 8, then eight time slots will be added to the PWM_OUT high duty cycle each time the PWM_OUT duty cycle needs to be increased. Figure 12 shows how the Filtered Mode algorithm operates. Ramp Rate PWM Duty Cycle Change 1 2 4 8 0.416% 0.833% 1.66% 3.33% So programming a ramp rate of 1, 2, 4, or 8 simply increases or decreases the PWM duty cycle by the amounts shown in Table V, depending on whether the temperature is increasing or decreasing. Figure 13 shows remote temperature plotted against PWM duty cycle for Filtered Mode. The ADC sample rate is the highest sample rate; 11.25 kHz. The ramp rate is set to 8 which would correspond to the fastest ramp rate. With these settings it took approximately 12 seconds to go from 0% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full-speed). The TMIN value = 32°C and the TRANGE = 80°C. It can be seen that even though the temperature increased very rapidly, the fan gradually ramps up to full speed. –16– REV. 0 ADM1030 100 100 PWM DUTY CYCLE – % RTEMP 80 80 60 60 PWM DUTY CYCLE 40 40 120 140 120 110 RTEMP 100 80 0 RTEMP – ⴗC 20 20 0 0 80 60 60 12 PWM DUTY CYCLE TIME – s 40 40 Figure 13.

Filtered Mode with Ramp Rate = 1 As can be seen from Figures 13 through 16, the rate at which the fan will react to temperature change is dependent on the ramp rate selected in the Fan Filter Register. The higher the ramp rate, the faster the fan will reach the newly calculated fan speed. Figure 17 shows the behavior of the PWM output as temperature varies. As the temperature is rising, the fan speed will ramp up. Small drops in temperature will not affect the ramp-up function since the newly calculated fan speed will still be higher than the previous PWM value. The Filtered Mode allows the PWM output to be made less sensitive to temperature variations. This will be dependent on the ramp rate selected and the ADC sample rate programmed into the Fan Filter Register. Figure 14.

The ramp rate is set to 1, while all other control parameters remain the same. With the slowest ramp rate selected it took 112 seconds for the fan to reach full speed. 120 PWM DUTY CYCLE – % 140 –17– ADM1030 Effect of ADC Sample Rate on Filtered Mode The second means by which to change the Filtered Mode characteristics is to adjust the ADC sample rate. The faster the ADC sample rate, the more temperature samples are obtained per second. One way to apply filtering to the control loop is to slow down the ADC sampling rate. This means that the number of iterations of the Filtered Mode algorithm per second are effectively reduced. If the number of temperature measurements per second are reduced, how often the PWM_OUT signal controlling the fan is updated is also reduced. Bits <4:2> of the Fan Filter Register (Reg 0x23) set the ADC sample rate. The default ADC sample rate is 1.4 kHz. The ADC sample rate is selectable from 87.5 Hz to 11.2 kHz. Table IX shows how many temperature samples are obtained per second, for each of the ADC sample rates. Table IX.

PWM DUTY CYCLE SELECT MODE The ADM1030 may be operated under software control by clearing Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Register 0x00). This allows the user to directly control PWM Duty Cycle. Clearing Bit 5 of Configuration Register 1 allows fan control by varying PWM duty cycle. Values of duty cycle between 0% to 100% may be written to the Fan Speed Config Register (0x22) to control the speed of the fan. Table X shows the relationship between hex values written to the Fan Speed Configuration Register and PWM duty cycle obtained. Table X.

This involves programming the desired fan RPM value to the device to set fan speed. The advantages include a very tightly maintained fan RPM over the fan’s life, and virtually no acoustic pollution due to fan speed variation. If the desired value for RPM Feedback Mode is 5000 RPM, what value needs to be programmed for Count? Fans typically have manufacturing tolerances of ± 20%, meaning a wide variation in speed for a typical batch of identical fan models. If it is required that all fans run at exactly 5000 RPM, it may be necessary to specify fans with a nominal fan speed of 6250 RPM. However, many of these fans will run too fast and make excess noise. A fan with nominal speed of 6250 RPM could run as fast as 7000 RPM at 100% PWM duty cycle. RPM Mode will allow all of these fans to be programmed to run at the desired RPM value. Clearing Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg 0x00) to 0 places the ADM1030 under software control. Once under software control, the device may be placed in to RPM Feedback Mode by writing to Bit 5 of Configuration Register 1. Writing a 1 to Bit 5 selects RPM Feedback Mode for the fan. Once RPM Feedback Mode has been selected, the required fan RPM may be written to the Fan Tach High Limit Register (0x10). The RPM Feedback Mode function allows a fan RPM value to be programmed into the device, and the ADM1030 will maintain the selected RPM value by monitoring the fan tach and speeding up the fan as necessary, should the fan start to slow down. Conversely, should the fan start to speed up due to aging, the RPM feedback will slow the fan down to maintain the correct RPM speed. The value to be programmed into each Fan Tach High Limit Register is given by: Count = (f × 60)/R × N where: Count = (f × 60)/R × N Since the desired RPM value, R, is 5000 RPM, the value for Count is: N = 2: Count = (11250 × 60)/5000 × 2 Count = 675000/10000 Count = 67 (assumes 2 tach pulses/rev). Example 2: If the desired value for RPM Feedback Mode is 3650 RPM, what value needs to be programmed for Count? Count = (f × 60)/R × N Since the desired RPM value, R, is 3650 RPM, the value for Count is: N = 2: Count = (11250 × 60)/3650 × 2 Count = 675000/7300 Count = 92 (assumes 2 tach pulses/rev). Once the count value has been calculated, it should be written to the Fan Tach High Limit Register. It should be noted that in RPM Feedback Mode, there is no high limit register for underspeed detection that can be programmed as there are in the other fan speed control modes. The only time each fan will indicate a fan failure condition is whenever the count reaches 255. Since the speed range N = 2, the fan will fail if its speed drops below 1324 RPM. Programming RPM Values f = 11.25 kHz R = desired RPM value N = Speed Range; MUST be set to 2 The speed range, N, really determines what the slowest fan speed measured can be before generating an interrupt. The slowest fan speed will be measured when the count value reaches 255. Since speed range, N, = 2, Count = (f × 60)/R × N R = (f × 60)/Count × N R = (11250 × 60)/255 × 2 R = (675000)/510 R = 1324 RPM, fan fail detect speed. Programming RPM Values in RPM Feedback Mode Rather than writing a value such as 5000 to a 16-bit register, an 8-bit count value is programmed instead. The count to be programmed is given by: Count = (f × 60)/R × N where: 1. Choose the RPM value to be programmed. 2. Set speed range value, N = 2. 3. Calculate count value based on RPM and speed range values chosen. Use Count Equation to calculate Count Value. 4. Clear Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x00) to place the ADM1030 under software control. 5. Write a 1 to Bit 5 of Configuration Register 1 to place the device in RPM Feedback Mode. 6. Write the calculated Count value to the Fan Tach High Limit Register (Reg. 0x10). The fan speed will now go to the desired RPM value and maintain that fan speed. RPM Feedback Mode Limitations RPM feedback mode only controls Fan RPM over a limited fan speed range of about 75% to 100%. However, this should be enough range to overcome fan manufacturing tolerance. In practice, however, the program must not function at too low an RPM value for the fan to run at, or the RPM Mode will not operate. To find the lowest RPM value allowed for a given fan, do the following: f = 11.25 kHz R = desired RPM value N = Speed Range = 2 REV. 0 –19– ADM1030 1. Run the fan at 53% PWM duty cycle in Software Mode. Clear Bits 5 and 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg 0x00) to enter PWM duty cycle mode. Write 0x08 to the Fan Speed Config Register (Reg 0x22) to set the PWM output to 53% duty cycle. +V 3.3V 10k⍀ TYPICAL TACH/AIN 2. Measure the fan RPM.

One distinguishing feature of fans is the number of poles that a fan has internally. The most common fans available have four, six, or eight poles. The number of poles the fan has generally affects the number of pulses per revolution the fan outputs. If the ADM1030 is used to drive fans other than 4-pole fans that output 2 tach pulses/revolution, then the fan speed measurement equation needs to be adjusted to calculate and display the correct fan speed, and also to program the correct count value in RPM Feedback Mode. Figure 18. Interfacing the ADM1030 to a 3-Wire Fan The NDT3055L n-type MOSFET was chosen since it has 3.3 V gate drive, low on-resistance, and can handle 3.5 A of current.

FAN DRIVE USING PWM CONTROL The external circuitry required to drive a fan using PWM control is extremely simple. A single NMOS FET is the only drive transistor required. The specifications of the MOSFET depend on the maximum current required by the fan being driven. Typical notebook fans draw a nominal 170 mA, and so SOT devices can be used where board space is a constraint. If driving several fans in parallel from a single PWM output, or driving larger server fans, the MOSFET will need to handle the higher current requirements. The only other stipulation is that the MOSFET should have a gate voltage drive, VGS < 3.3 V, for direct interfacing to the PWM_OUT pin. The MOSFET should also have a low on-resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage drop across the FET. This would reduce the maximum operating speed of the fan. Figure 18 shows how a 3-wire fan may be driven using PWM control. Figure 19. Interfacing the ADM1030 to a 2-Wire Fan Figure 19 shows how a 2-wire fan may be connected to the ADM1030. This circuit allows the speed of the 2-wire fan to be measured even though the fan has no dedicated Tach signal. A series RSENSE resistor in the fan circuit converts the fan commutation pulses into a voltage. This is ac-coupled into the ADM1030 through the 0.01 µF capacitor. On-chip signal conditioning allows accurate monitoring of fan speed. For typical notebook fans drawing approximately 170 mA, a 2 Ω RSENSE value is suitable. For fans such as desktop or server fans, that draw more current, RSENSE may be reduced. The smaller RSENSE is the better, since more voltage will be developed across the fan, and the fan will spin faster. Figure 20 shows a typical plot of the sensing waveform at the TACH/AIN pin. The most important thing is that the negative-going spikes are more than 250 mV in amplitude. This will be the case for most fans when RSENSE = 2 Ω. The value of RSENSE can be reduced as long as the voltage spikes at the TACH/AIN pin are greater than 250 mV. This allows fan speed to be reliably determined. –20– REV. 0 ADM1030 T Tek PreVu CLOCK ⌬: 250mV @: –258mV T CONFIG 2 REG. BIT 2 1 FAN INPUT START OF MONITORING CYCLE FAN MEASUREMENT PERIOD Figure 21.

Fan Speed Sensing Waveform at TACH/AIN Pin FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT The fan counter does not count the fan tach output pulses directly, because the fan speed may be less than 1000 RPM and it would take several seconds to accumulate a reasonably large and accurate count. Instead, the period of the fan revolution is measured by gating an on-chip 11.25 kHz oscillator into the input of an 8-bit counter. The fan speed measuring circuit is initialized on the rising edge of a PWM high output if fan speed measurement is enabled (Bit 2 of Configuration Register 2 = 1). It then starts counting on the rising edge of the second tach pulse and counts for two fan tach periods, until the rising edge of the fourth tach pulse, or until the counter overranges if the fan tach period is too long. The measurement cycle will repeat until monitoring is disabled. The fan speed measurement is stored in the Fan Speed Reading register at address 0x08. The fan speed count is given by: Count = (f × 60)/R × N where: f = 11.25 kHz R = Fan Speed in RPM. N = Speed Range (Either 1, 2, 4, or 8) The frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted to suit the expected running speed of the fan by varying N, the Speed Range. The oscillator frequency is set by Bits 7 and 6 of Fan Characteristics Register 1 (20h) as shown in Table XI. Figure 21 shows how the fan measurements relate to the PWM_OUT pulse trains. Table XI.

Setting Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 (0x00) to 1, inverts the PWM_OUT signal. This makes the PWM_OUT pin high for 100% duty cycle. Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 should generally be set to 1, when using an n-MOS device to drive the fan. If using a p-MOS device, Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 should be cleared to 0. FAN FAULTS The FAN_FAULT output (Pin 8) is an active-low, open-drain output used to signal fan failure to the system processor. Writing a Logic 1 to Bit 4 of Configuration Register 1 (0x00) enables the FAN_FAULT output pin. The FAN_FAULT output is enabled by default. The FAN_FAULT output asserts low only when five consecutive interrupts are generated by the ADM1030 device due to the fan running underspeed, or if the fan is completely stalled. Note that the Fan Tach High Limit must be exceeded by at least one before a FAN_FAULT can be generated. For example, if we are only interested in getting a FAN_FAULT if the fan stalls, then the fan speed value will be 0xFF for a failed fan. Therefore, we should make the Fan Tach High Limit = 0xFE to allow FAN_FAULT to be asserted after five consecutive fan tach failures. Figure 22 shows the relationship between INT, FAN_FAULT, and the PWM drive channel. The PWM_OUT channel is driving a fan at some PWM duty cycle, say 50%, and the fan’s tach signal (or fan current for a 2-wire fan) is being monitored at the TACH/AIN pin. Tach pulses are being generated by the fan, during the high time of the PWM duty cycle train. The tach is pulled high during the off time of the PWM train because the fan is connected high-side to the n-MOS device. Suppose the fan has already failed its fan speed measurement twice previously. Looking at Figure 22, PWM_OUT is brought high for two seconds, to restart the fan if it has stalled. Sometime later a third tach failure occurs. This is evident by the tach signal being low during the high time of the PWM pulse, causing the Fan Speed Reading register to reach its maximum count of 255. Since the tach limit has been exceeded, an interrupt is generated on the INT pin. The Fan Fault bit (Bit 1) of Interrupt Status Register 1 (Register 0x02) will also be asserted. Once the processor has acknowledged the INT by reading the status register, the INT is cleared. PWM_OUT is then brought high for another 2 seconds to restart the fan. Subsequent fan failures cause INT to be reasserted and the PWM_OUT signal is brought high for 2 seconds (fan spin-up default) each time to restart the fan. Once the fifth tach failure occurs, the failure is deemed to be catastrophic, and the FAN_FAULT pin is asserted low. PWM_OUT is brought high to attempt to restart the fan. –21– ADM1030 The INT pin will continue to generate interrupts after the assertion of FAN_FAULT since tach measurement continues even after fan failure. Should the fan recover from its failure condition, the FAN_FAULT signal will be negated, and the fan will return to its normal operating speed. PWM_OUT Figure 23 shows a typical application circuit for the ADM1030. Temperature monitoring can be based around a CPU diode or discrete transistor measuring thermal hotspots.

This allows the system to be run in performance mode. Clearing this bit to 0 disables the fan from running full-speed whenever THERM is asserted low. This allows the system to run in silent mode. (Power-On Default = 1.) Note that this bit has no effect whenever THERM is pulled low as an input. Unused. Read back zeros. This nibble contains the revision number for the ADM1030. Table XXV. Register 0x0D Local Temp Offset Power-On Default = 00H Bit Name R/W Description <7> Sign Read/Write <6:4> <3:0> Reserved Local Offset Read/Write Read/Write When this bit is 0, the local offset will be added to the Local Temperature Reading. When this bit is set to 1, the local temperature offset will be subtracted from the Local Temperature Reading. Unused. Normally read back zeros. These four bits are used to add a two’s complement offset to the Local Temperature Reading, allowing 15°C to be added to or subtracted from the temperature reading. C02401–2.5–4/01(0) Table XXIV.
