PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and
limit comparison of up to four power supplies and two processor core voltages, plus temperature, two fan speeds and chassis
intrusion. Measured values can be read out via an I2C-compatible serial System Management Bus, and values for limit comparisons can be programmed in over the same serial bus. The
high speed successive approximation ADC allows frequent
sampling of all analog channels to ensure a fast interrupt
response to any out-of-limit measurement.
The ADM9240’s 2.85 V to 5.75 V supply voltage range, low
supply current and I2C compatible interface, make it ideal for a
wide range of applications. These include hardware monitoring
and protection applications in personal computers, electronic
test equipment and office electronics.

ADM9240
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTERNAL REGISTERS OF THE ADM9240
The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
microprocessor-based systems. The device communicates with
the system via a serial System Management Bus. The serial bus
controller has two hardwired address lines for device selection
(Pin 1 and Pin 2), a serial data line for reading and writing
addresses and data (Pin 3), and an input line for the serial clock
(Pin 4). All control and programming functions of the ADM9240
are performed over the serial bus.
A brief description of the ADM9240’s principal internal registers is given below. More detailed information on the function
of each register is given in Tables V to XVII.
Configuration Register: Provides control and configuration.
Serial Address Register: Stores the serial bus address of the
ADM9240.
Address Pointer Register: Contains the address that selects
one of the other internal registers. When writing to the ADM9240,
the first byte of data is always a register address, which is written
to the Address Pointer Register.
An on-chip analog-to-digital converter with six multiplexed
analog inputs measures power supply voltages (+12 V, +5 V,
+3.3 V, +2.5 V—Pins 15 to 18) and processor core voltages
(+VCCP1 and +VCCP2—Pins 19 and 14). The ADC also accepts
input from an on-chip bandgap temperature sensor that monitors system ambient temperature.
Interrupt (INT) Status Registers: Two registers to provide
status of each Interrupt event.
Interrupt (INT) Mask Registers: Allow masking of individual Interrupt sources.
Two count inputs (Pins 5 and 6) are provided for monitoring
the speed of fans with tachometer outputs. To accommodate
fans with different speeds and different tacho outputs, a divisor
of 1, 2, 4 or 8 can be programmed into the counter.
Temperature Configuration Register: The configuration of
the temperature interrupt is controlled by the lower three bits of
this register.
Five digital inputs (VID4 to VID0—Pins 20 to 24) read the
processor Voltage ID code, while a chassis intrusion input
(Pin 7) is provided to detect unauthorized tampering with the
equipment.
VID/Fan Divisor Registers: The status of the VID0 to VID4
pins of the processor can be written to and read from these
registers. Divisor values for fan-speed measurement are also
stored in one of these registers.
When the ADM9240 monitoring sequence is started, it cycles
sequentially through the measurement of analog inputs and the
temperature sensor, while at the same time the fan speed inputs
are independently monitored. Measured values from these inputs are stored in value registers. These can be read out over the
serial bus, or can be compared with programmed limits stored
in the limit registers. The results of out-of-limit comparisons are
stored in the interrupt status registers and will generate an interrupt on the INT line (Pin 10).
Value and Limit Registers: The results of analog voltage
inputs, temperature and fan speed measurements are stored in
these registers, along with their limit values.
Analog Output Register: The code controlling the analog
output DAC is stored in this register.
Chassis Intrusion Clear Register: A signal latched on the
chassis intrusion pin can be cleared by writing to this register.
Any or all of the Interrupt Status Bits can be masked by appropriate programming of the Interrupt Mask Register.
A RESET input/output (Pin 12) is provided. Pulling this pin
low will reset all ADM9240 internal registers to default values.
The ADM9240 can also be programmed to give a low-going
20 ms reset pulse at this pin.
The ADM9240 contains an on-chip, 8-bit digital-to-analog
converter with an output range of zero to 1.25 V (Pin 11). This
is typically used to implement a temperature-controlled fan by
controlling the speed of a fan dependent upon the temperature
measured by the on-chip temperature sensor.
Testing of board level connectivity is simplified by providing a
NAND tree test function. The AOUT (Pin 11) also doubles as
a NAND test input, while Pin 1 doubles as a NAND tree output.

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.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADM9240 is carried out via the serial bus. The
ADM9240 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the
control of a master device, e.g., the PIIX4.
The ADM9240 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 states of Pin 1(NTEST_OUT/A0)
and Pin 2 (A1) at power-up. These pins have internal 75 kΩ
pull-down resistors, so if they are left open-circuit the default
address will be 0101100.
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.
The facility to make hardwired changes to A1 and A0 allows the
user to avoid conflicts with other devices sharing the same serial
bus, for example if more than one ADM9240 is used in a system. Once the ADM9240 has been powered up, the five MSBs
of the serial bus address may be changed by writing a 7-bit word
to the serial Address Pointer Register (the hardwired values of
A0 and A1 cannot be overwritten). Thereafter, the new serial
bus address must be used to select the ADM9240, until it is
changed again, or the device is powered off.
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.
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 eight bits, consisting
of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an R/W bit, which determines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data
will be written to or read from the slave device.
In the case of the ADM9240, write operations contain either
one or two bytes, and read operations contain one byte and
perform the following functions:
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, 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, then the write
operation contains a second data byte that is written to the
register selected by the Address Pointer Register.
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 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.
2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit

ADM9240
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
hardwired to either Logic 0 or Logic 1.
1. If the ADM9240’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
ADM9240 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.
ANALOG INPUTS
The ADM9240 has six analog inputs. Four of these are dedicated to monitoring the following power supply voltages: +12 V,
+5 V, +3.3 V, +2.5 V.
These inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter. This has a resolution
of ten bits, but only eight bits are used for the voltage measurement and limit comparison. The basic input range of the ADC
is 0 V to 2.5 V, and the power supply inputs are scaled by onchip attenuators such that the ADC produces an output of 3/4 ×
full scale or 192 decimal, when the input voltage is at its nominal value. The use of on-chip scaling guarantees accuracy and
removes the need for precision external resistors.
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

The +VCCP1 and +VCCP2 inputs are used to measure processor
core voltages, and have an input range from 0 V to 3.6 V. If
only a single processor core voltage is being monitored, the
VCCP2 input may be used to monitor the –12 V supply. This is
achieved by using a resistive divider network referenced to a
known positive dc voltage. This is illustrated in Figure 4.

the 5 V supply increases the ADC input by the DV × RP/
(R2+RP), while a decrease in the 5 V supply correspondingly
decreases the input to the ADC.
SETTING OTHER INPUT RANGES
If any of the inputs is unused, and there is a requirement for
monitoring another power supply such as –12 V, the input range
of the unused input can easily be scaled and offset to accommodate this. For example, if only one processor core voltage is to
be monitored, the unused VCCP input can be used to monitor
another supply voltage.
If the voltage to be monitored is positive, it is simply a matter of
using an input with a lower full scale than the voltage to be
measured and adding an external input attenuator, but bear in
mind that the input resistance (≈140 kΩ) of the on-chip attenuator will load the external attenuator. This can be accounted for
in the calculation, but the values of the on-chip attenuator resistors are not precise and vary with temperature. Therefore, the
external attenuator should have a much lower output resistance
to minimize the loading. If this is not acceptable, a buffer amplifier can be used.
If the input voltage range is negative, it must first be converted
to a positive voltage. The simplest way to do this is simply to
attenuate and offset the voltage, as shown in Figure 4, which
shows the +VCCP2 input scaled to measure a –12 V input. Using
the values shown, the input range is zero to –13.5 V, which will
accommodate a +12.5% tolerance on the nominal value.
3. The on-chip input attenuators will load the external attenuator, as mentioned earlier.
This technique can be applied to any other unused input. By
suitable choice of V+ and the input resistors, a variety of negative and/or bipolar input ranges can be obtained.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The ADM9240 contains an on-chip bandgap temperature sensor. The on-chip ADC performs 9-bit conversions on the output
of this sensor and outputs the temperature data in 9-bit twos
complement format, but only the eight most significant bits are
used for temperature limit comparison. The full 9-bit temperature data can be obtained by reading the 8 MSBs from the Temperature Value Register (Address 27h) and the LSB from Bit 7
of the Temperature Configuration Register (Address 4Bh).
The format of the temperature data is shown in Table II. Theoretically, the temperature sensor and ADC can measure temperatures from –128°C to +127°C with a resolution of 0.5°C,
although temperatures below –40°C and above +125°C are
outside the operating temperature range of the device.

LIMIT VALUES
This is a simple and cheap solution, but the following points
should be noted.
1. Since the input signal is not inverted, an increase in the magnitude of the –12 V supply (going more negative), will cause
the input voltage to fall and give a lower output code from
the ADC. Conversely, a decrease in the magnitude of the
–12 V supply will cause the ADC code to increase. This
means that the upper and lower limits will be transposed.
2. Since the offset voltage is derived from the +5 V supply,
variations in this supply will affect the ADC code.
Temperature
Limit values for analog measurements are stored in the appropriate limit registers. In the case of voltage measurements, high
and low limits can be stored so that an interrupt request will be
generated if the measured value goes above or below acceptable
values. In the case of temperature, a Hot Temperature Limit
can be programmed, and a Hot Temperature Hysteresis Limit,
which will usually be some degrees lower. This can be useful as
it allows the system to be shut down when the hot limit is exceeded, and automatically restarted when it has cooled down to
a safe temperature.
It is therefore a good idea to read the value of the +5 V supply and adjust the limits for the –12 V supply accordingly.
The 5 V supply is attenuated by a factor RP/(R2+R P), where
RP is the parallel combination of R1 and R3. An increase in

MONITORING CYCLE TIME
The monitoring cycle begins when a one is written to the Start
Bit (Bit 0), and a zero to the INT_Clear Bit (Bit 3) of the Configuration Register. INT_Enable (Bit 1) should be set to one to
enable the INT output. The ADC measures each analog input
in turn, starting with VCCP2 and finishing with the on-chip temperature sensor. As each measurement is completed the result
is automatically stored in the appropriate value register. This
“round-robin” monitoring cycle continues until it is disabled by
writing a 0 to Bit 0 of the Configuration Register.
If the op amp is powered from –12 V, precautions such as a
clamp diode to ground may be needed to prevent the baseemitter junction of the transistor being reverse-biased in the
unlikely event that the output of the op amp should swing negative for any reason.
The positive output swing of the op amp should be as close to
+12 V as possible so that the maximum voltage can be obtained
from the transistor. Even if the op amp swings to the rail, the
maximum voltage from the emitter of the transistor will be
about 11.4 V. typical values for this condition would be:
The counter controlling the multiplexer is driven by an on-chip
clock of nominally 22.5 kHz, so the entire measurement sequence
takes (nominally):
Gain = 11.4/1.25 = 9.12 = 1 + R1/R2
R1 = 82 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ (nearest preferred value)
44.4 µs × 7 = 310.8 µs
giving an actual gain of 9.2.
This rapid sampling of the analog inputs ensures a quick response in the event of any input going out of limits, unlike other
monitoring chips that employ slower ADCs.
When a monitoring cycle is started, monitoring of the fan speed
inputs begins at the same time as monitoring of the analog inputs. However, the two monitoring cycles are not synchronized
in any way, and the monitoring cycle time for the fan inputs is
dependent on fan speed and much slower than for the analog
inputs. For more details see the Fan Speed Measurement section.
The transistor should have a reasonably high hFE to avoid its
base current pulling down the output of the op amp, it must
have an ICMAX greater than the maximum fan current and be
capable of dissipating power due to the voltage dropped across it
when the fan is not operating at full speed. Depending on the
fan parameters, some suitable devices would be 2N2219A,
2N3019 or ZTX450.

INPUT SAFETY
R1
Scaling of the analog inputs is performed on-chip, so external
attenuators are normally not required. However, since the
power supply voltages will appear directly at the pins, it is advisable to add small external resistors in series with the supply
traces to the chip to prevent damaging the traces or power supplies should an accidental short such as a probe connect two
power supplies together.
As the resistors will form part of the input attenuators, they will
affect the accuracy of the analog measurement if their value is
too high. The analog input channels are calibrated assuming an
external series resistor of 500 Ω, and the accuracy will remain
within specification for any value from zero to 1 kΩ, so a standard 510 Ω resistor is suitable.
R2
Figure 5. Analog Output Driving Fan
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
The worst such accident would be connecting –12 V to +12 V—
a total of 24 V difference, with the series resistors this would
draw a maximum current of approximately 24 mA.
ANALOG OUTPUT
Analog inputs will provide best accuracy when referred to the
GNDA pin. A separate, low impedance ground plane for analog
ground, which provides a ground point for the voltage dividers
and analog components, will provide best performance but is
not mandatory.
The power supply bypass, the parallel combination of 10 µF
(electrolytic or tantalum) and 0.1 µF (ceramic) bypass capacitors connected between Pin 9 and ground, should also be located as close as possible to the ADM9240.
The ADM9240 has a single analog output from an unsigned
8-bit DAC which produces 0 V–1.25 V. The analog output
register defaults to FF during power-on reset, which produces
maximum fan speed. The analog output may be amplified and
buffered with external circuitry such as an op amp and transistor
to provide fan speed control.
A suitable drive circuit is given in Figure 5.
Care must be taken when choosing the op amp to ensure that its
input common-mode range and output voltage swing are suitable.
The op amp may be powered from the +12 V rail alone or from
± 12 V. If it is powered from +12 V then the input commonmode range should include ground to accommodate the minimum output voltage of the DAC, and the output voltage should
swing below 0.6 V to ensure that the transistor can be turned
fully off.

If the fans are powered while the ADM9240 is unpowered, the

the maximum value in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
The pull-up resistor of the fan tacho output may provide this
current limiting but, if its value is too low, it may be necessary
to add additional resistance in series with the fan input pins.

The fan counter does not count the fan tacho 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 22.5 kHz oscillator into the
input of an 8-bit counter for two periods of the fan tacho output, as shown in Figure 7, so the accumulated count is actually
proportional to the fan tacho period and inversely proportional
to the fan speed.

If the fan has a strong pull-up (less than 1 kΩ) to +12 V, or a
totem-pole output, a series resistor can be added to limit the
zener current, as shown in Figure 6c. Alternatively, a resistive
attenuator may be used, as shown in Figure 6d.
The monitoring cycle begins when a one is written to the start
bit (Bit 0), and a zero to the INT_Clear bit (Bit 3) of the Configuration Register INT_Enable (Bit 1) should be set to one to
enable the INT output. The measurement begins on the rising
edge of a fan tacho pulse, and ends on the next-but-one rising
edge. Once the fan speeds have been measured, they will be
stored in the Fan Speed Value Registers and can be read at any
time. The measurements will be updated as long as the monitoring cycle continues.
R1 and R2 should be chosen such that:

If the value of the pull-up resistor is not known, the value of R1
and R2 should be made fairly large, but not so large that the
input leakage current will cause a large voltage drop across
them.
With a pull-up voltage of 12 V and pull-up resistor less than
1 kΩ, suitable values for R1 and R2 would be 100 kΩ and
47 kΩ. This will give a high input voltage of 3.83 V.

slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The
maximum input signal range is 0 to VCC. In the event that these
inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 to VCC,
either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping

To accommodate fans of different speed and/or different numbers of output pulses per revolution, a prescaler (divisor) of 1, 2,
4 or 8 may be added before the counter. The default value is 2,
which gives a count of 153 for a fan running at 4400 rpm producing two output pulses per revolution.
The count is calculated by the equation:
Count = (22.5 × 103 × 60) /(rpm × Divisor)
For constant speed fans, fan failure is normally considered to
have occurred when the speed drops below 70% of nominal,
which would correspond to a count of 219. Full scale (255)
would be reached if the fan speed fell to 60% of its nominal
value. For temperature controlled variable speed fans the situation will be different.
Table III shows the relationship between fan speed and time per
revolution at 60%, 70% and 100% of nominal rpm for fan
speeds of 1100 rpm, 2200 rpm, 4400 rpm and 8800 rpm, and
the divisor that would be used for each of these fans, based on
two tacho pulses per revolution.

CHASSIS INTRUSION INPUT
The Chassis Intrusion (CI) input is an active high input/opendrain output intended for detection and signalling of unauthorized tampering with the system. An external circuit powered
from the system’s CMOS backup battery is used to detect and
latch a chassis intrusion event, whether the system is powered up
or not. Once a chassis intrusion has been detected and latched,
the CI input will generate an interrupt when the system is powered up.
Note that Fan 1 and Fan 2 Divisors are programmed into Bits 4
to 7 of the VID0–VID3/Fan Divisor Register.
LIMIT VALUES
Fans in general will not overspeed if run from the correct voltage, so the failure condition of interest is underspeed due to
electrical or mechanical failure. For this reason only low speed
limits are programmed into the limit registers for the fans. It
should be noted that, since fan period rather than speed is being
measured, a fan failure interrupt will occur when the measurement exceeds the limit value.
The actual detection of chassis intrusion is performed by an
external circuit that will, for example, detect when the cover has
been removed. A wide variety of techniques may be used for the
detection:
MONITORING CYCLE TIME
The monitoring cycle time depends on the fan speed and number of tacho output pulses per revolution. Two complete periods
of the fan tacho output (three rising edges) are required for each
fan measurement. Therefore, if the start of a fan measurement
just misses a rising edge, the measurement can take almost three
tacho periods. In order to read a valid result from the fan value
registers, the total monitoring time allowed after starting the
monitoring cycle should therefore be three tacho periods of
FAN1 plus three tacho periods of FAN2 at the lowest normal
fan speed.
–
–
–
–
The chassis intrusion interrupt will remain asserted until the
external detection circuit is reset. This can be achieved by setting Bit 6 of the Configuration Register, or Bit 7 of the Chassis
Intrusion Clear Register to one, which will cause the CI pin to be
pulled low for at least 20 ms. These register bits are self-clearing.
Although the fan monitoring cycle and the analog input monitoring cycle are started together, they are not synchronized in
any other way.

ADM9240
The chassis intrusion circuit should be designed so that it can be
reset by pulling its output low. A suitable chassis intrusion circuit using a phototransistor is shown in Figure 8. Light falling
on the phototransistor when the PC cover is removed will cause
it to turn on and pull up the input of N1, thus setting the latch
N3/N4. After the cover is replaced, a low reset on the CI output
will pull down the input of N4, resetting the latch.

THE ADM9240 INTERRUPT STRUCTURE
The Interrupt Structure of the ADM9240 is shown in Figure 9.
As each measurement value is obtained and stored in the
appropriate value register, the value and the limits from the
corresponding limit registers are fed to the high and low limit
comparators. The result of each comparison (1 = out of limit,
0 = in limit) is routed to the corresponding bit input of the
Interrupt Status Registers via a data demultiplexer and used to
set that bit high or low as appropriate.
10kV
Figure 8a. Chassis Intrusion Detector and Latch
The Chassis Intrusion input can also be used for other types of
alarm input. Figure 8b shows a temperature alarm circuit using
an AD22105 temperature switch sensor. This produces a lowgoing output when the preset temperature is exceeded, so the
output is inverted by Q1 to make it compatible with the CI
input. Q1 can be almost any small-signal NPN transistor, or a
TTL or CMOS inverter gate may be used if one is available. See
the AD22105 data sheet for information on selecting RSET.
The Interrupt Mask Registers have bits corresponding to each of
the Interrupt Status Register Bits. Setting an Interrupt Mask Bit
high forces the corresponding Status Bit output low, while setting an Interrupt Mask Bit low allows the corresponding Status
Bit to be asserted. After masking, the status bits are all ORed
together to produce the INT output, which will pull low if any
unmasked status bit goes high, i.e., when any measured value
goes out of limit.
The INT output is enabled when Bit 1 of the Configuration
Register (INT_Enable) is high, and Bit 3 (INT_Clear) is low.

goes below THOTHYST. Operation in the one-time interrupt
mode is illustrated in Figure 11. Again, the interval between
read operations is shown as being longer than the monitoring
cycle time.
Reading an Interrupt Status Register will output the contents of
the Register, then clear it. It will remain cleared until the monitoring cycle updates it, so the next read operation should not be
performed on the register until this has happened, or the result
will be invalid. The time taken for a complete monitoring cycle
is mainly dependent on the time taken to measure the fan speeds,
as described earlier.
THOT
The INT output is cleared with the INT_Clear bit, which is Bit
3 of the Configuration Register, without affecting the contents
of the Interrupt (INT) Status Registers. When this bit is high,
the ADM9240 monitoring loop will stop. It will resume when
the bit is low.

Figure 11. INT Output in One-Time Interrupt Mode
As mentioned earlier, two limit values can be programmed for
the temperature measurement, a Hot Temperature Limit (THOT),
and a Hot Temperature Hysteresis Limit (THOTHYST ), which is
normally some degrees lower.
COMPARATOR MODE
The interrupt function of the temperature sensor differs from
the interrupt operation of the other inputs in that there are three
interrupt modes, called “One-Time Interrupt” mode, “Default
Interrupt” mode and “Comparator” mode.
Exceeding THOT causes the INT output to go Low. INT will
remain Low until the temperature goes below THOT. Once the
temperature goes below THOT, INT will go High. THOTHYST is
ignored. In other words, Comparator Mode operates like a
thermostat with no hysteresis. Operation in the comparator
mode is illustrated in Figure 12.
DEFAULT INTERRUPT MODE
Exceeding THOT causes an Interrupt that will remain active
indefinitely until reset by reading Interrupt Status Register 1 or
cleared by the INT_Clear bit in the Configuration register.
Once an Interrupt event has occurred by crossing THOT , then
reset, an Interrupt will occur again once the next temperature
conversion has completed. The interrupts will continue to occur
in this manner until the temperature goes below THOTHYST.
Operation in the default interrupt mode is illustrated in Figure
10. For clarity, in this illustration the interval between read
operations is shown as considerably longer than the monitoring
cycle time, so that the interrupt is always reasserted after being
reset, before the next read operation occurs.

RESET INPUT/OUTPUT
RESET (Pin 12) is an I/O pin that can function as an opendrain output, providing a low going 20 ms output pulse when
Bit 4 of the Configuration Register is set to 1, provided the reset
function has first been enabled by setting Bit 7 of Interrupt
Mask Register #2 to 1. The bit is automatically cleared when
the reset pulse is output. Pin 11 can also function as a RESET
input by pulling this pin low to reset the internal registers of the
ADM9240 to default values. Only those registers that have
power on default values as listed in Table VI are affected by this
function. The DAC register, Value and Limit Registers are not
affected.

NAND TREE TESTS
A NAND tree is provided in the ADM9240 for Automated Test
Equipment (ATE) board level connectivity testing. The device
is placed into NAND Test Mode by powering up with Pin 11
held high. This pin is sampled automatically after power-up and
if it connected high, then the NAND test mode is invoked.
In NAND test mode, all digital inputs may be tested as illustrated below. A0/NTEST_OUT will become the NAND tree
output pin. To perform a NAND tree test, all pins included in
the NAND tree should be driven high.
–15–
ADM9240
The structure of the NAND tree is shown in Figure 13.
Beginning with A1 and working clockwise around the chip, each
pin can be toggled and a resulting toggle can be observed on
NTEST_OUT/A0.
Allow for a typical propagation delay of 500 ns.
Bit 0 of the Configuration Register controls the monitoring loop
of the ADM9240. Setting Bit 0 low stops the monitoring loop
and puts the ADM9240 into a low power mode thereby reducing power consumption. Serial bus communication is still possible with any register in the ADM9240 while in low power
mode. Setting Bit 0 high starts the monitoring loop.
Bit 1 of the Configuration Register enables or disables the INT
Interrupt output. Setting Bit 1 high enables the INT output,
setting Bit 1 low disables the output.

Figure 13. NAND Tree
Note: If any of the inputs shown in Figure 9 are unused, they
should not be connected directly to ground, but via a resistor
such as 10 kΩ. This will allow the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) to drive every input high so that the NAND tree test can
be properly carried out.
Bit 4 of the Configuration Register is used to initiate a minimum 20 ms RESET signal on the RESET output if the function
is enabled by Bit 7 in Register 44.
Bit 6 of the Configuration Register is used to reset the Chassis
Intrusion (CI) output pin when set high.
Bit 7 of the Configuration Register is used to start a Configuration Register Initialization when taken high.
USING THE ADM9240
POWER-ON RESET
STARTING CONVERSION
When power is first applied, the ADM9240 performs a “poweron reset” on several of its registers. Registers whose power-on
values are not shown have power-on conditions that are indeterminate (this includes the Value and Limit Registers). The ADC
is inactive. In most applications, usually the first action after
power-on would be to write limits into the Limit Registers.
The monitoring function (analog inputs, temperature and fan
speeds) in the ADM9240 is started by writing to the Configuration Register and setting Start (Bit 0), high, INT_Enable (Bit 1)
high and INT_Clear (Bit 3) low. Apart from initially starting
together, the analog measurements and fan speed measurements
proceed independently and are not synchronized in any way.
Power-on reset clears or initializes the following registers (the
initialized values are shown in Table VI:
The analog measurements will be completed in no more than
353 µs. The time taken to complete the fan speed measurements
depends on the fan speed and the number of tacho output pulses
per revolution.

LOW POWER AND SHUTDOWN MODE
Using the Configuration Register
Control of the ADM9240 is provided through the Configuration
Register. The ADC is stopped upon power-up, and the INT_Clear
signal is asserted, clearing the INT output. The Configuration
Register is used to start and stop the ADM9240; enable or disable interrupt outputs and modes, and provide the initialization
function described above.
The ADM9240 can be placed in a low power mode by setting
Bit 0 of the Configuration register to 0. This disables the internal ADC. Full shutdown mode may then be achieved by setting
Bit 0 of the Test Register to 1. This turns off the analog output
and stops the monitoring cycle, if running, but it does not affect
the condition of any of the registers. The device will return to its
previous state when this bit is reset to zero.

APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Figure 14 shows a generic application circuit using the
AD9240. The analog monitoring inputs are connected to the
power supplies including two processor core voltage inputs. The
VID inputs are connected to the processor voltage ID pins.
There are two tacho inputs from fans, and the analog output is
used to control the speed of a third fan. A chassis intrusion
latch with an opto-sensor is connected to the CI input. Of
course, in an actual application, every input and output may not
be used, in which case unused analog and digital inputs should
be tied to analog or digital ground as appropriate.

If Bit 0 and Bit 1 of this register are both zero or one, this selects the default
interrupt mode, which gives the user an interrupt if the temperature goes above
the hot limit. The interrupt will be cleared once the status register is read, but it
will again be generated when the next conversion has completed. It will continue to
do so until the temperature goes below the hysteresis limit.
A 0 on Bit 1 and a 1 on Bit 0 selects the one-time interrupt mode, which gives the
user an interrupt when the temperature goes above the hot limit. The interrupt will
be cleared once the status register is read. Another interrupt will not be generated
until the temperature first goes below the hysteresis limit. No more interrupts will
be generated until the temperature again goes above the hot limit. The corresponding bit will be cleared in the status register every time it is read, but may not set
again when the next conversion is done. Note that this is the power-up default
mode.
A 1 on Bit 1 and a 0 on Bit 0 selects the comparator mode. This gives an INT
when the temperature exceeds the hot limit. This INT remains active until the
temperature goes below the hot limit (no hysteresis), when the INT will become
inactive.
Default = 00000
LSB of Temperature Reading = 0.5°C
