PECIFICATION
aSC7512
The aSC7512 has a two wire digital interface compatible
with SMBus 2.0. Using a 10-bit
ΣΔ
- ADC, the aSC7512
measures the temperature of a remote diode connected
transistor as well as its own die.
Using temperature information from these two zones, an
automatic fan speed control algorithm is employed to
minimize acoustic impact while achieving recommended
CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
To set fan speed, the aSC7512 has a pulse width
modulation (PWM) output that is controlled by one of two
temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM
ranges are supported. The aSC7512 also includes a digital
filter that can be invoked to smooth temperature readings
for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
impact. The aSC7512 has a tachometer input to measure
fan speed or alternatively, an alert pin that may be
triggered by exceeding a temperature limit setting. Limit
and status registers for all measured values are included to
alert the system host that any measurements are outside of
programmed limits.
