dBCOOLTM Remote Thermal Controller and Voltage Monitor ADT7463*
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT7463 dBCOOL controller is a complete systems monitor and multiple PWM fan controller for noise-sensitive applications requiring active system cooling. It can monitor 12 V, 5 V, and 2.5 V CPU supply voltages, plus its own supply voltage. It can monitor the temperature of up to two remote sensor diodes, plus its own internal temperature. It can measure and control the speed of up to four fans so that they operate at the lowest possible speed for minimum acoustic noise. The automatic fan speed control loop optimizes fan speed for a given temperature. A unique dynamic TMIN control mode enables the system thermals/acoustics to be intelligently managed. The effectiveness of the system's thermal solution can be monitored using the THERM input. The ADT7463 also provides critical thermal protection to the system using the bidirectional THERM pin as an output to prevent system or component overheating.

ADT7463
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General Description INTERNAL REGISTERS OF THE ADT7463
The ADT7463 is a complete systems monitor and multiple fan controller for any system requiring monitoring and cooling. The device communicates with the system via a serial system management bus. The serial bus controller has an optional address line for device selection (Pin 14), a serial data line for reading and writing addresses and data (Pin 1), and an input line for the serial clock (Pin 2). All control and programming functions of the ADT7463 are performed over the serial bus. In addition, two of the pins can be reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to indicate out-of-limit conditions.
Measurement Inputs
A brief description of the ADT7463's principal internal registers is given below. More detailed information on the function of each register is given in Tables IV to XLII.
Configuration Registers
The configuration registers provide control and configuration of the ADT7463, including alternate pinout functionality.
Address Pointer Register
This register contains the address that selects one of the other internal registers. When writing to the ADT7463, the first byte of data is always a register address, which is written to the address pointer register.
Status Registers
The device has six measurement inputs, four for voltage and two for temperature. It can also measure its own supply voltage and can measure ambient temperature with its on-chip temperature sensor. Pins 20 through 23 are analog inputs with on-chip attenuators, configured to monitor 5 V, 12 V, 2.5 V, and the processor core voltage (2.25 V input), respectively. Power is supplied to the chip via Pin 4, and the system also monitors VCC through this pin. In PCs, this pin is normally connected to a 3.3 V standby supply. This pin can, however, be connected to a 5 V supply and monitor it without overranging. Remote temperature sensing is provided by the D1 and D2 inputs, to which diode-connected, external temperature-sensing transistors, such as a 2N3904 or CPU thermal diode, may be connected. The ADC also accepts input from an on-chip band gap temperature sensor that monitors system ambient temperature.
Sequential Measurement
These registers provide the status of each limit comparison and are used to signal out-of-limit conditions on the temperature, voltage, or fan speed channels. If Pin 10 or Pin 22 is configured as SMBALERT, then this pin asserts low whenever a status bit gets set.
Interrupt Mask Registers
These registers allow each interrupt status event to be masked when Pin 10 or Pin 22 is configured as an SMBALERT output.
VID Register
The status of the VID0 to VID5 pins of the processor can read from this register. VID code changes can also generate SMBALERT interrupts.
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.
Offset Registers
When the ADT7463 monitoring sequence is started, it cycles sequentially through the measurement of analog inputs and the temperature sensors. 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 status registers, which can be read over the serial bus to flag out-of-limit conditions.
Processor Voltage ID
These registers allow each temperature channel reading to be offset by a twos complement value written to these registers.
TMIN Registers
These registers program the starting temperature for each fan under automatic fan speed control.
TRANGE Registers
These registers program the temperature-to-fan speed control slope in automatic fan speed control mode for each PWM output.
Operating Point Registers
Five digital inputs (VID0 to VID5--Pins 5 to 8, 19, and 21) read the processor voltage ID code and store it in the VID register, from which it can be read out by the management system over the serial bus. The VID code monitoring function is compatible with both VRM9.x and future VRM10 solutions. Additionally, an SMBALERT can be generated to flag a change in VID code.
ADT7463 Address Selection
These registers define the target operating temperatures for each thermal zone when running under dynamic TMIN control. This function allows the cooling solution to adjust dynamically in response to measured temperature and system performance.
Enhance Acoustics Registers
Pin 13 is the dual-function PWM3/ADDRESS ENABLE pin. If Pin 13 is pulled low on power-up, the ADT7463 reads the state of Pin 14 (TACH4/ADDRESS SELECT/ THERM pin) to determine the ADT7463's slave address. If Pin 13 is high on power-up, then the ADT7463 defaults to the SMBus slave Address 0x2E. This function is described in more detail later.
These registers allow each PWM output controlling fan to be tweaked to enhance the system's acoustics.

ADT7463
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADT7463 is carried out using the serial system management bus (SMBus). The ADT7463 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master controller. The ADT7463 has a 7-bit serial bus address. When the device is powered up with Pin 13 (PWM3/ADDRESS ENABLE) high, the ADT7463 has a default SMBus address of 0101110 or 0x2E. The read/write bit must be added to get the 8-bit address. If more than one ADT7463 is used in a system, then each ADT7463 should be placed in address select mode by strapping Pin 13 low on power-up. The logic state of Pin 14 then determines the device's SMBus address. The logic of these pins is sampled upon power-up. The device address is sampled and latched on the first valid SMBus transaction, more precisely on the low-to-high transition at the beginning of the 8th SCL pulse, when the serial bus address byte matches the selected slave address. The selected slave address is chosen using the address enable/address select pins. Any attempted changes in the address will have no effect after this.
Table I. Address Select Mode
The ability to make hardwired changes to the SMBus slave address allows the user to avoid conflicts with other devices sharing the same serial bus, for example, if more than one ADT7463 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 eight bits, consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus a 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.

CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT PIN 13 (PWM3/ADDR_EN) IS EITHER TIED HIGH OR LOW. LEAVING PIN 13 FLOATING COULD CAUSE THE ADT7463 TO POWER UP WITH AN UNEXPECTED ADDRESS. NOTE THAT IF THE ADT7463 IS PLACED INTO ADDRESS SELECT MODE, PINS 13 AND 14 CANNOT BE USED AS THE ALTERNATE FUNCTIONS (PWM3, TACH4/THERM) ONLY IF THE CORRECT CIRCUIT IS MUXED IN AT THE CORRECT TIME.

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, then the master writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master reads from the slave device.

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 pulls the data line high during the tenth 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 ninth clock pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low during the low period before the 10th clock pulse, and then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. 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. In the case of the ADT7463, 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. This is illustrated in Figure 7. The device address is sent over the bus followed by R/W being 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.

Figure 9. Reading Data from a Previously Selected Register
When reading data from a register, there are two possibilities: 1. If the ADT7463'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 ADT7463 as before, however, only the data byte is sent and this contains the register address. This is shown in Figure 8. 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 9. 2. If the address pointer register is already at the desired address, data can be read from the corresponding data register without first writing to the address pointer register, so Figure 8 can be omitted.
Notes
1. 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 first data byte of a write is always written to the address pointer register. 2. In Figures 7 to 9, the serial bus address is shown as the default value 01011(A1)(A0), where A1 and A0 are set by the address select mode function previously defined. 3. In addition to supporting the Send Byte and Receive Byte protocols, the ADT7463 also supports the Read Byte protocol (see System Management Bus specifications Rev. 2.0 for more information). 4. If it is required to perform several read or write operations in succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead of a stop condition to begin a new operation.

ADT7463
ADT7463 WRITE OPERATIONS ADT7463 READ OPERATIONS
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different types of read and write operations. The ones used in the ADT7463 are discussed below. The following abbreviations are used in the diagrams: S - START P - STOP R - READ W - WRITE A - ACKNOWLEDGE A - NO ACKNOWLEDGE The ADT7463 uses the following SMBus write protocols.
Send Byte
The ADT7463 uses the following SMBus read protocols.
Receive Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a single command byte to a slave device 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 ACK on SDA. 4. The master sends a command code. 5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA. 6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the transaction ends. For the ADT7463, the send byte protocol is used to write a register address to RAM for a subsequent single byte read from the same address. This is illustrated in Figure 10.
1 2 3 4 REGISTER ADDRESS 5 6
This is useful when repeatedly reading a single register. The register address needs to have been set up previously. In this operation, the master device receives a single byte from a slave device as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the read bit (high). 3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA. 4. The master receives a data byte. 5. The master asserts NO ACK on SDA. 6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the transaction ends. In the ADT7463, the receive byte protocol is used to read a single byte of data from a register whose address has previously been set by a send byte or write byte operation.

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 an interrupt output or can be used as 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. 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 alert response address, and the master reads its device address. The address of the device is now known and it 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 will have priority in accordance with normal SMBus arbitration. 5. Once the ADT7463 has responded to the alert response address, the master must read the status registers and the SMBALERT will only be cleared if the error condition has gone away.

Figure 10. Setting a Register Address for Subsequent Read
If it is required to read data from the register immediately after setting up the address, the master can assert a repeat start condition immediately after the final ACK and carry out a single byte read without asserting an intermediate stop condition.
Write Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and one data byte to the slave device 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 ACK on SDA. 4. The master sends a command code. 5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA. 6. The master sends a data byte. 7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA. 8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the transaction. This is illustrated in Figure 11.

The ADT7463 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If there is no SMBus activity for 35 ms, the ADT7463 assumes that the bus is locked and releases the bus. This prevents the device from locking or holding the SMBus expecting data. Some SMBus controllers cannot handle the SMBus timeout feature, so it can be disabled.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT INPUTS VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT LIMIT REGISTERS
The ADT7463 has four external voltage measurement channels. It can also measure its own supply voltage, VCC. Pins 20 to 23 are dedicated to measuring 5 V, 12 V, and 2.5 V supplies and the processor core voltage VCCP (0 V to 3 V input). The VCC supply voltage measurement is carried out through the VCC pin (Pin 4). Setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40) allows a 5 V supply to power the ADT7463 and be measured without overranging the VCC measurement channel. The 2.5 V input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage in computer systems.
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)
Associated with each voltage measurement channel are high and low limit registers. Exceeding the programmed high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set. Exceeding either limit can also generate SMBALERT interrupts.

All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip, successive approximation, ADC. This has a resolution of 10 bits. The basic input range is 0 V to 2.25 V, but the inputs have built-in attenuators to allow measurement of 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and the processor core voltage VCCP without any external components. To allow for the tolerance of these supply voltages, the ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale (decimal 768 or 300 hex) for the nominal input voltage and so has adequate headroom to cope with overvoltages.
INPUT CIRCUITRY
The internal structure for the analog inputs is shown in Figure 13. Each input circuit consists of an input protection diode, an attenuator, plus a capacitor to form a first-order, low-pass filter that gives the input immunity to high frequency noise.

VID CODE MONITORING
The ADT7463 has five dedicated voltage ID (VID code) inputs. These are digital inputs that can be read back through the VID register (Reg. 0x43) to determine the processor voltage required/being used in the system. Five VID code inputs support VRM9.x solutions. In addition, Pin 21 (12 V input) can be reconfigured as a sixth VID input to satisfy future VRM requirements.
VID CODE REGISTER - Register 0x43
logic states on the VID inputs are different than they were 11 s previously. The change of VID code can be used to generate an SMBALERT interrupt. If an SMBALERT interrupt is not required, Bit 0 of Interrupt Mask Register 2 (Reg. 0x75), when set, prevents SMBALERTs from occurring on VID code changes.
STATUS REGISTER 2 - Register 0x42
<0> = VID0 (reflects logic state of Pin 5) <1> = VID1 (reflects logic state of Pin 6) <2> = VID2 (reflects logic state of Pin 7) <3> = VID3 (reflects logic state of Pin 8) <4> = VID4 (reflects logic state of Pin 19) <5> = VID5 (reconfigurable 12 V input). This bit reads 0 when Pin 21 is configured as the 12 V input. This bit reflects the logic state of Pin 21 when the pin is configured as VID5.
VID CODE INPUT THRESHOLD VOLTAGE
<0> 12V/VC = 0; If Pin 21 is configured as VID5, then a Logic 0 denotes no change in VID code within last 11 s. <0> 12V/VC = 1; If Pin 21 is configured as VID5, then a Logic 1 means that a change has occurred on the VID code inputs within the last 11 s. An SMBALERT generates if this function is enabled.
ADDITIONAL ADC FUNCTIONS
A number of other functions are available on the ADT7463 to offer the systems designer increased flexibility, including:
Turn-Off Averaging
The switching threshold for the VID code inputs is approximately 1 V. To enable future compatibility, it is possible to reduce the VID code input threshold to 0.6 V. Bit 6 (THLD) of VID register (Reg. 0x43) controls the VID input threshold voltage.
VID CODE REGISTER - Register 0x43
<6> THLD = 0; VID Switching Threshold = 1 V, VOL < 0.8 V, VIH > 1.7 V, VMAX = 3.3 V THLD = 1; VID Switching Threshold = 0.6 V, VOL < 0.4 V, VIH > 0.8 V, VMAX = 3.3 V
RECONFIGURING PIN 21 (+12V/VID5) AS VID5 INPUT
For each voltage measurement read from a value register, 16 readings have actually been made internally and the results averaged before being placed into the value register. There may be an instance where you would like to speed up conversions. Setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) turns averaging off. This effectively gives a reading 16 times faster (711 s), but the reading may be noisier.
Bypass Voltage Input Attenuators
Pin 21 can be reconfigured as a sixth VID code input (VID5) for VRM10-compatible systems. Since the pin is configured as VID5, it is no longer possible to monitor a 12 V supply. Bit 7 of the VID register (Reg. 0x43) determines the function of Pin 21. System or BIOS software can read the state of Bit 7 to determine whether the system is designed to monitor 12 V or is monitoring a sixth VID input.
VID CODE REGISTER - Register 0x43
Setting Bit 5 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg 0x73) removes the attenuation circuitry from the 2.5 V, V CCP, VCC, 5 V, and 12 V inputs. This allows the user to directly connect external sensors or rescale the analog voltage measurement inputs for other applications. The input range of the ADC without the attenuators is 0 V to 2.25 V.
Single-Channel ADC Conversion
<7> VIDSEL = 0; Pin 21 functions as a 12 V measurement input. Software can read this bit to determine that there are five VID inputs being monitored. Bit 5 of Register 0x43 (VID5) always reads back 0. Bit 0 of Status Register 2 (Reg. 0x42) reflects 12 V out-of-limit measurements. VIDSEL = 1; Pin 21 functions as the sixth VID code input (VID5). Software can read this bit to determine that there are six VID inputs being monitored. Bit 5 of Register 0x43 reflects the logic state of Pin 21. Bit 0 of Status Register 2 (Reg. 0x42) reflects VID code changes.
VID CODE CHANGE DETECT FUNCTION
Setting Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) places the ADT7463 into single-channel ADC conversion mode. In this mode, the ADT7463 can be made to read a single voltage channel only. If the internal ADT7463 clock is used, the selected input is read every 711 s. The appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits <7:5> of the TACH1 Minimum High Byte Register (0x55).

The ADT7463 has a VID code change detect function. When Pin 21 is configured as the VID5 input, VID code changes can be detected and reported back by the ADT7463. Bit 0 of Status Register 2 (Reg. 0x42) is the 12V/VC bit and denotes a VID change when set. The VID code change bit gets set when the

ADT7463
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Local Temperature Measurement
The ADT7463 contains an on-chip band gap temperature sensor whose output is digitized by the on-chip 10-bit ADC. The 8-bit MSB temperature data is stored in the local temperature register (Address 26h). As both positive and negative temperatures can be measured, the temperature data is stored in twos complement format, as shown in Table III. Theoretically, the temperature sensor and ADC can measure temperatures from -128 C to +127 C with a resolution of 0.25 C. However, this exceeds the operating temperature range of the device, so local temperature measurements outside this range are not possible.
Remote Temperature Measurement
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 ADT7463 is to measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at two different currents. This is given by
VBE = KT q x ln( N )
where: K is Boltzmann's constant. q is the charge on the carrier. T is the absolute temperature in Kelvins. N is the ratio of the two currents. Figure 14 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of a remote temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, provided for temperature monitoring on some microprocessors. It could equally well be a discrete transistor, such as a 2N3904.
The ADT7463 can measure the temperature of two remote diode sensors or diode-connected transistors connected to Pins 15 and 16, or 17 and 18. 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

ADT7463
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. Figures 15a and 15b show how to connect the ADT7463 to an NPN or PNP transistor for temperature measurement. 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. To measure VBE, 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 and to a chopper-stabilized 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 10-bit, twos complement format. To further reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles. A remote temperature measurement takes nominally 25.5 ms. The results of remote temperature measurements are stored in 10-bit, twos complement format, as illustrated in Table III. The extra resolution for the temperature measurements is held in the Extended Resolution Register 2 (Reg. 0x77). This gives temperature readings with a resolution of 0.25 C.

As CPUs run faster, it is getting more difficult to avoid high frequency clocks when routing the D+, D- traces around a system board. Even when recommended layout guidelines are followed, there may still be temperature errors attributed to noise being coupled onto the D+/D- lines. High frequency noise generally has the effect of giving temperature measurements that are too high by a constant amount. The ADT7463 has temperature offset registers at Addresses 0x70, 0x72 for the Remote 1 and Remote 2 temperature channels. By doing a one-time calibration of the system, one can determine the offset caused by system board noise and null it out using the offset registers. The offset registers automatically add a twos complement 8-bit reading to every temperature measurement. The LSBs add 0.25C offset to the temperature reading so the 8-bit register effectively allows temperature offsets of up to 32 C with a resolution of 0.25 C. This ensures that the readings in the temperature measurement registers are as accurate as possible.

Setting Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) places the ADT7463 into single-channel ADC conversion mode. In this mode, the ADT7463 can be made to read a single temperature channel only. If the internal ADT7463 clock is used, the selected input is read every 1.4 ms. The appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits <7:5> of TACH1 Minimum High Byte Register (0x55).

Overtemperature Events
It is important to note that temperature can be read from the ADT7463 as an 8-bit value (with 1C resolution) or as a 10-bit value (with 0.25C resolution). If only 1C resolution is required, the temperature readings can be read back at any time and in no particular order. If the 10-bit measurement is required, this involves a 2-register read for each measurement. The extended resolution register (Reg. 0x77) should be read first. This causes all temperature reading registers to be frozen until all temperature reading registers have been read from. This prevents an MSB reading from being updated while its 2 LSBs are being read and vice versa.
ADDITIONAL ADC FUNCTIONS
Overtemperature events on any of the temperature channels can be detected and dealt with automatically in automatic fan speed control mode. Registers 0x6A to 0x6C are the THERM limits. When a temperature exceeds its THERM limit, all fans run at 100% duty cycle. The fans stay running at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM - Hysteresis (this can be disabled by setting the boost bit in Configuration Register 3, Bit 2, Register 0x78). The hysteresis value for that THERM limit is the value programmed into Registers 0x6D, 0x6E (hysteresis registers). The default hysteresis value is 4C.

For each temperature measurement read from a value register, 16 readings have actually been made internally and the results averaged before being placed into the value register. Sometimes it may be necessary to take a very fast measurement, e.g., of CPU temperature. Setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) turns averaging off. This takes a reading every 13 ms. The measurement itself takes 4 ms.

Out-of-Limit Comparisons
Associated with each measurement channel on the ADT7463 are high and low limits. These can form the basis of system status monitoring: a status bit can be set for any out-of-limit condition and detected by polling the device. Alternatively, SMBALERT interrupts can be generated to flag a processor or microcontroller of out-of-limit conditions.

Analog Monitoring Cycle Time
INT
The analog monitoring cycle begins when a 1 is written to the start bit (Bit 0) of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40). The ADC measures each analog input in turn and as each measurement is completed, the result is automatically stored in the appropriate value register. This round-robin monitoring cycle continues unless disabled by writing a 0 to Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1. Because the ADC is normally left to free-run in this manner, the time taken to monitor all the analog inputs is normally not of interest, since the most recently measured value of any input can be read out at any time. For applications where the monitoring cycle time is important, it is easily calculated.
LOW LIMIT
TEMP = LOW LIMIT
The total number of channels measured is: * Four dedicated supply voltage inputs * 3.3 VSTBY or 5 V supply (VCC pin) * Local temperature * Two remote temperatures As mentioned previously, the ADC performs round-robin conversions and takes 11.38 ms for each voltage measurement, 12 ms for a local temperature reading, and 25.5 ms for each remote temperature reading. The total monitoring cycle time for averaged voltage and temperature monitoring is therefore nominally

(5 x 11.38) + 12 + (2 x 25.5) = 120 ms
Fan TACH measurements are made in parallel and are not synchronized with the analog measurements in any way.
Status Registers
TEMP = HIGH LIMIT
21.00C
Figure 19. Temperature = High Limit: No INT
The results of limit comparisons are stored in Status Registers 1 and 2. The status register bit for each channel reflects the status of the last measurement and limit comparison on that channel. If a measurement is within limits, the corresponding status register bit is cleared to 0. If the measurement is out-of-limits, the corresponding status register bit is set to 1. The state of the various measurement channels may be polled by reading the status registers over the serial bus. In Bit 7 (OOL) of Status Register 1 (Reg. 0x41), 1 means that an out-of-limit event has been flagged in Status Register 2. This means that a user need only read Status Register 2 when this bit is set. Alternatively, Pin 10 or Pin 22 can be configured as an SMBALERT output. This automatically notifies the system supervisor of an out-of-limit condition. Reading the status registers clears the appropriate status bit as long as the error condition that caused the interrupt has cleared. Status register bits are "sticky." Whenever a status bit gets set, indicating an out-of-limit condition, it remains set even if the event that caused it has gone away (until read). The only way to clear the status bit is to read the status register after the event has gone away. Interrupt status mask registers (Reg. 0x74, 0x75) allow individual interrupt sources to be masked from causing an SMBALERT. However, if one of these masked interrupt sources goes out-of-limit, its associated status bit gets set in the interrupt status registers.

Figure 23. SMBALERT and Status Bit Behavior
Figure 23 shows how the SMBALERT output and "sticky" status bits behave. Once a limit is exceeded, the corresponding status bit gets set to 1. The status bit remains set until the error condition subsides and the status register gets read. The status bits are referred to as sticky since 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 SMBALERT output remains low for the entire duration that a reading is out-of-limit and until the status register has been read. This has implications on how software handles the interrupt.

To prevent the system from being tied up servicing interrupts, it is recommend to handle the SMBALERT interrupt as follows: 1. Detect the SMBALERT assertion. 2. Enter the interrupt handler. 3. Read the status registers to identify the interrupt source. 4. Mask the interrupt source by setting the appropriate mask bit in the interrupt mask registers (Reg. 0x74, 0x75). 5. Take the appropriate action for a given interrupt source. 6. Exit the Interrupt Handler. 7. Periodically poll the status registers. If the interrupt status bit has cleared, reset the corresponding interrupt mask bit to 0. This causes the SMBALERT output and status bits to behave as shown in Figure 24.

ADT7463
Masking Interrupt Sources To Assign THERM Functionality to a Pin
Interrupt Mask Registers 1 and 2 are located at Addresses 0x74 and 0x75. These allow individual interrupt sources to be masked out to prevent SMBALERT interrupts. Note that masking an interrupt source only prevents the SMBALERT output from being asserted; the appropriate status bit gets set as normal.
Interrupt Mask Register 1 (Reg. 0x74)
Pin 14 or Pin 20 can be configured as the THERM pin on the ADT7463. To enable the THERM functionality, users must first set the THERM enable bit. The TH5V bit then determines which pin the THERM functionality is enabled on (i.e., users cannot enable THERM on two pins at once). To configure Pin 20 as the THERM pin: 1. Set the TH5V bit (Bit 1) in the Configuration Register 4 (Address = 0x7D) = 1. 2. Set the THERM Enable Bit (Bit 1) in Configuration Register 3 (Address = 0x78) = 1. To configure Pin 14 as the THERM pin: 1. Set the TH5V bit (Bit 1) in the Configuration Register 4 (Address = 0x7D) = 0. 2. Set the THERM Enable Bit (Bit 1) in Configuration Register 3 (Address = 0x78) = 1.
THERM as an Input
Bit 7 (OOL) = 1, masks SMBALERT for any alert condition flagged in Status Register 2. Bit 6 (R2T) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Remote 2 Temperature. Bit 5 (LT) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Local Temperature. Bit 4 (R1T) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Remote 1 Temperature. Bit 3 (5V) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 5 V channel. Bit 2 (VCC) = 1, masks SMBALERT for VCC channel. Bit 1 (VCCP) = 1, masks SMBALERT for VCCP channel. Bit 0 (2.5V) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 2.5 V channel.
Interrupt Mask Register 2 (Reg. 0x75)
Bit 7 (D2) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Diode 2 errors. Bit 6 (D1) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Diode 1 errors. Bit 5 (FAN4) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 4 failure. If the TACH4 pin is being used as the THERM input, this bit masks SMBALERT for a THERM event. Bit 4 (FAN3) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 3. Bit 3 (FAN2) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 2. Bit 2 (FAN1) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 1. Bit 1 (OVT) = 1, masks SMBALERT for overtemperature (exceeding THERM limits). Bit 0 (12V/VC) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 12 V channel or for a VID code change, depending on the function used.
Enabling the SMBALERT Interrupt Output
When configured as an input, the user can time assertions on the THERM pin. This can be useful for connecting to the PROCHOT output of a CPU to gauge system performance. See this data sheet for more information on timing THERM assertions and generating ALERTs based on THERM. The user can also setup the ADT7463 so when the THERM pin is driven low externally the fans run at 100%. The fans run at 100% for the duration of the THERM pin being pulled low. This is done by setting the BOOST bit (Bit 2) in Configuration Register 3 (Address = 0x78) to 1. This only works if the fan is already running, for example, in manual mode when the current duty cycle is above 0x00 or in automatic mode when the temperature is above TMIN. If the temperature is below TMIN or if the duty cycle in manual mode is set to 0x00, then pulling the THERM low externally has no effect. See Figure 25 for more information.
The SMBALERT interrupt function is disabled by default. Pin 10 or Pin 22 can be reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to signal out-of-limit conditions.

ADT7463
THERM TIMER
The ADT7463 has an internal timer to measure THERM assertion time. For example, the THERM input may be connected to the PROCHOT output of a Pentium 4 CPU and measure system performance. The THERM input may also be connected to the output of a trip point temperature sensor. The timer is started on the assertion of the ADT7463's THERM input and stopped on the negation of the pin. The timer counts THERM times cumulatively, i.e., the timer resumes counting on the next THERM assertion. The THERM timer continues to accumulate THERM assertion times until the timer is read (it is cleared on read) or until it reaches full scale. If the counter reaches full scale, it stops at that reading until cleared. The 8-bit THERM timer register (Reg. 0x79) is designed such that Bit 0 gets set to 1 on the first THERM assertion. Once the cumulative THERM assertion time has exceeded 45.52 ms, Bit 1 of the THERM timer gets set and Bit 0 now becomes the LSB of the timer with a resolution of 22.76 ms.
THERM
Figure 26 illustrates how the THERM timer behaves as the THERM input is asserted and negated. Bit 0 gets set on the first THERM assertion detected. This bit remains set until such time as the cumulative THERM assertions exceed 45.52 ms. At this time, Bit 1 of the THERM timer gets set, and Bit 0 is cleared. Bit 0 now reflects timer readings with a resolution of 22.76 ms. When using the THERM timer, be aware of the following: After a THERM timer read (Reg. 0x79): a) The contents of the timer get cleared on read. b) The F4P bit (Bit 5) of Status Register 2 needs to be cleared (assuming the THERM limit has been exceeded). If the THERM timer is read during a THERM assertion, then the following will happen: a) The contents of the timer are cleared. b) Bit 0 of the THERM timer is set to 1 (since a THERM assertion is occurring). c) The THERM timer increments from zero. d) If the THERM limit (Reg. 0x7A) = 0x00, then the F4P bit gets set.

The ADT7463 can generate SMBALERTs when a programmable THERM limit has been exceeded. This allows the systems designer to ignore brief, infrequent THERM assertions, while capturing longer THERM events. Register 0x7A is the THERM Limit Register. This 8-bit register allows a limit from 0 seconds (first THERM assertion) to 5.825 seconds to be set before an SMBALERT is generated. The THERM timer value is compared with the contents of the THERM limit register. If the THERM timer value exceeds the THERM limit value, then the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Status Register 2 gets set, and an SMBALERT is generated. Note that the F4P bit (Bit 5) of Mask Register 2 (Reg. 0x75) masks out SMBALERTs if this bit is set to 1, although the F4P bit of Interrupt Status Register 2 still gets set if the THERM limit is exceeded. Figure 27 is a Functional Block Diagram of the THERM timer, limit, and associated circuitry. Writing a value of 0x00 to the THERM limit register (Reg. 0x7A) causes SMBALERT to be generated on the first THERM assertion. A THERM limit value of 0x01 generates an SMBALERT once cumulative THERM assertions exceed 45.52 ms.

Configuring the Desired THERM Behavior
1. Configure the desired pin as the THERM input. Setting Bit 1 (THERM Enable) of Configuration Register 3 (Reg. 0x78) enables the THERM monitoring functionality. This is enabled on Pin 14 by default. Setting Bit 1 (TH5V) of Configuration Register 4 (Reg. 0x7D) enables THERM monitoring on Pin 20 (Bit 1 of Configuration Register 3 must also be set). Pin 14 can be used as TACH4. 2. Select the desired fan behavior for THERM events. Setting Bit 2 (BOOST bit) of Configuration Register 3 (Reg. 0x78) causes all fans to run at 100% duty cycle whenever THERM gets asserted. This allows fail-safe system cooling. If this bit = 0, the fans run at their current settings and are not affected by THERM events. 3. Select whether THERM events should generate SMBALERT interrupts. Bit 5 (F4P) of Mask Register 2 (Reg. 0x75), when set, masks out SMBALERTs when the THERM limit value gets exceeded. This bit should be cleared if SMBALERTs based on THERM events are required.
4. Select a suitable THERM limit value. This value determines whether an SMBALERT is generated on the first THERM assertion, or only if a cumulative THERM assertion time limit is exceeded. A value of 0x00 causes an SMBALERT to be generated on the first THERM assertion. 5. Select a THERM monitoring time. This is how often OS or BIOS level software checks the THERM timer. For example, BIOS could read the THERM timer once an hour to determine the cumulative THERM assertion time. If, for example, the total THERM assertion time is <22.76 ms in Hour 1, >182.08 ms in Hour 2, and >5.825 s in Hour 3, this can indicate that system performance is degrading significantly since THERM is asserting more frequently on an hourly basis. Alternatively, OS or BIOS level software can time-stamp when the system is powered on. If an SMBALERT is generated due to the THERM limit being exceeded, another time-stamp can be taken. The difference in time can be calculated for a fixed THERM limit time. For example, if it takes one week for a THERM limit of 2.914 s to be exceeded and the next time it takes only 1 hour, then this is an indication of a serious degradation in system performance.

ADT7463
Configuring the ADT7463 THERM Pin as an Output
In addition to the ADT7463 being able to monitor THERM as an input, the ADT7463 can optionally drive THERM low as an output. The user can preprogram system critical thermal limits. If the temperature exceeds a thermal limit by 0.25C, THERM asserts low. If the temperature is still above the thermal limit on the next monitoring cycle, THERM stays low. THERM remains asserted low until the temperature is equal to or below the thermal limit. Since the temperature for that channel is measured only every monitoring cycle, once THERM asserts it is guaranteed to remain low for at least one monitoring cycle. The THERM pin can be configured to assert low if the Remote 1, Local, or Remote 2 Temperature THERM limits get exceeded by 0.25C. The THERM limit registers are at locations 0x6A, 0x6B, and 0x6C, respectively. Setting Bit 3 of Registers 0x5F, 0x60, and 0x61 enables the THERM output feature for the Remote 1, Local, and Remote 2 Temperature channels, respectively. Figure 28 shows how the THERM pin asserts low as an output in the event of a critical overtemperature.
THERM LIMIT +0.25 C THERM LIMIT
pull-up on the gate is tied to 5 V. The MOSFET should also have a low on resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage drop across the FET. This reduces the voltage applied across the fan and therefore the maximum operating speed of the fan. Figure 29 shows how a 3-wire fan may be driven using PWM control.

In all cases, the TACH signal from the fan must be kept below 5 V maximum to prevent damaging the ADT7463. 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 of the data sheet. Figure 30 shows a fan drive circuit using an NPN transistor such as a general-purpose MMBT2222. While these devices are inexpensive, they tend to have much lower current handling capabilities and higher on resistance than MOSFETs. When choosing a transistor, care should be taken to ensure that it meets the fan's current requirements. Ensure that the base resistor is chosen such that the transistor is saturated when the fan is powered on.

FAN DRIVE USING PWM CONTROL
The ADT7463 uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control fan speed. This relies on varying the duty cycle (or on/off ratio) of a square wave applied to the fan to vary the fan speed. The external circuitry required to drive a fan using PWM control is extremely simple. A single NMOSFET is the only drive device 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 concern. In desktops, fans can typically draw 250 mA to 300 mA each. If you drive several fans in parallel from a single PWM output or drive larger server fans, the MOSFET needs 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. VGS can be greater than 3.3 V as long as the

ADT7463
Driving Two Fans from PWM3 Driving up to Three Fans from PWM2
Note that the ADT7463 has four TACH inputs available for fan speed measurement, but only three PWM drive outputs. If a fourth fan is being used in the system, it should be driven from the PWM3 output in parallel with the third fan. Figure 31 shows how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost NPN transistors. Figure 32 is the equivalent circuit using the NDT3055L MOSFET. Note that since 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 data sheet.
TACH measurements for fans are synchronized to particular PWM channels, e.g., TACH1 is synchronized to PWM1. TACH3 and TACH4 are both synchronized to PWM3 so PWM3 can drive 2 fans. Alternatively, PWM2 can be programmed to synchronize TACH2, TACH3, and TACH4 to the PWM2 output. This allows PWM2 to drive two or three fans. In this case, the drive circuitry looks the same as shown in Figures 31 and 32. The SYNC bit in Register 0x62 enables this function. <4> (SYNC) ENHANCE ACOUSTICS REG 1 (0X62) SYNC = 1 Synchronizes TACH2, TACH3, and TACH4 to PWM2.

Driving 2-Wire Fans LAYING OUT 2-WIRE AND 3-WIRE FANS
Figure 33 shows how a 2-wire fan may be connected to the ADT7463. This circuit allows the speed of a 2-wire fan to be measured, even though the fan has no dedicated TACH signal. A series resistor, RSENSE, in the fan circuit converts the fan commutation pulses into a voltage. This is ac-coupled into the ADT7463 through the 0.01 F capacitor. On-chip signal conditioning allows accurate monitoring of fan speed. The value of RSENSE chosen depends upon the programmed input threshold and the current drawn by the fan. For fans drawing approximately 200 mA, a 2 RSENSE value is suitable when the threshold is programmed as 40 mV. For fans that draw more current, such as larger desktop or server fans, RSENSE may be reduced for the same programmed threshold. The smaller the threshold programmed the better, since more voltage is developed across the fan and the fan spins faster. Figure 34 shows a typical plot of the sensing waveform at the TACH/AIN pin. The most important thing is that the voltage spikes (either negative going or positive going) are more than 40 mV in amplitude. This allows fan speed to be reliably determined.

TACH Inputs
Pins 9, 11, 12, and 14 are open-drain TACH inputs intended for fan speed measurement. Signal conditioning in the ADT7463 accommodates the slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The maximum input signal range is 0 V to 5 V, even where VCC is less than 5 V. In the event that these inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 V to 5 V, either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range. Figures 36a to 36d show circuits for most common fan TACH outputs. If the fan TACH output has a resistive pull-up to VCC, it can be connected directly to the fan input, as shown in Figure 36a.

If the fan output has a resistive pull-up to 12 V (or other voltage greater than 5 V) then the fan output can be clamped with a Zener diode, as shown in Figure 36b. The Zener diode voltage should be chosen so that it is greater than VIH of the TACH input but less than 5 V, allowing for the voltage tolerance of the Zener. A value of between 3 V and 5 V is suitable.

If the fan has a strong pull-up (less than 1 k) to 12 V or a totempole output, then a series resistor can be added to limit the Zener current, as shown in Figure 36c. Alternatively, a resistive attenuator may be used, as shown in Figure 36d. R1 and R2 should be chosen such that 2 V < VPULLUP x R2 / ( RPULLUP + R1 + R2) < 5 V The fan inputs have an input resistance of nominally 160 k to ground, so this should be taken into account when calculating resistor values. With a pull-up voltage of 12 V and pull-up resistor less than 1 k, suitable values for R1 and R2 would be 100 k and 47 k. This gives a high input voltage of 3.83 V.

If fan speeds are being measured, this 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 from. This prevents erroneous TACH readings. The fan tachometer reading registers report back the number of 11.11 s 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 (assuming two pulses per revolution are being counted). Since 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).

Fan Speed Measurement Rate
The ADT7463 is capable of measuring the speed of 2-wire fans, i.e., fans without TACH outputs. To do this, the fan must be interfaced as shown in the Fan Drive Circuitry section of the data sheet. In this case, the TACH inputs need to be reprogrammed as analog inputs, AIN.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 2 (REG. 0x73)
The fan TACH readings are normally updated once every second. The FAST bit (Bit 3) of Configuration Register 3 (Reg. 0x78), when set, updates the fan TACH readings every 250 ms. If any of the fans are not being driven by a PWM channel but are powered directly from 5 V or 12 V, its associated dc bit in Configuration Register 3 should be set. This allows TACH readings to be taken on a continuous basis for fans connected directly to a dc source.
Calculating Fan Speed
Bit 3 (AIN4) = 1, Pin 14 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. Bit 2 (AIN3) = 1, Pin 9 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. Bit 1 (AIN2) = 1, Pin 12 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. Bit 0 (AIN1) = 1, Pin 11 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor.
AIN Switching Threshold
Assuming a fan with a two pulses/revolution (and two pulses/ revolution being measured), fan speed is calculated by Fan Speed (RPM) = (90,000 where Fan TACH Reading = 16-Bit Fan Tachometer Reading

Fan Spin-Up
Different fan models can output either 1, 2, 3, or 4 Tach pulses per revolution. Once the number of fan Tach pulses has been determined, it is programmed into the fan pulses per revolution register (Reg. 0x7B) for each fan. Alternatively, this register can be used to determine the number or pulses/revolution output by a given fan. By plotting fan speed measurements at 100% speed with different pulses/revolution setting, the smoothest graph with the lowest ripple determines the correct pulses/revolution value.
Fan Pulses per Revolution Register
The ADT7463 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 pulses are detected, the PWM duty cycle goes to the expected running value, e.g., 33%. The advantage of this is that fans have different spin-up characteristics and takes different times to overcome inertia. The ADT7463 just runs the fans fast enough to overcome inertia and are quieter on spin-up than fans programmed to spin-up for a given spin-up time.
Fan Start-Up Timeout
<1:0> FAN 1 Default = 2 Pulses per Revolution. <3:2> FAN 2 Default = 2 Pulses per Revolution. <5:4> FAN 3 Default = 2 Pulses per Revolution. <7:6> FAN 4 Default = 2 Pulses per Revolution.
To prevent false interrupts being generated as a fan spins up (since it is below running speed), the ADT7463 includes a fan start-up timeout function. This is the time limit allowed for two TACH pulses to be detected on spin-up. For example, if 2-second fan start-up timeout is chosen and no TACH pulses occur within 2 seconds of the start of spin-up, a fan fault is detected and flagged in the interrupt status registers.

The ADT7463 can control fan speed using two different modes. The first is automatic fan speed control mode. In this mode, fan speed is automatically varied with temperature and without CPU intervention, once initial parameters are set up. The advantage of this is in the case of the system hanging, the user is guaranteed that 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 and how to program the automatic fan speed control loop and dynamic TMIN calibration, see the AN-613 Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop application note (www.analog.com/ UploadedFiles/Application_Notes/331085006AN613_0.pdf). The second fan speed control method is manual fan speed control which is described in the next paragraph.
Manual Fan Speed Control
The ADT7463 allows the duty cycle of any PWM output to be manually adjusted. This can be useful if users wish to change fan speed in software or want to adjust PWM duty cycle output for test purposes. Bits <7:5> of Registers 0x5C to 0x5E (PWM Configuration) control the behavior of each PWM output.
PWM CONFIGURATION (REG. 0x5C to 0x5E)
Disabling Fan Start-Up Timeout
Although fan start-up makes fan spin-ups much quieter than fixed-time spin-ups, the option exists to use fixed spin-up times. Bit 5 (FSPDIS) = 1 in Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40) disables the spin-up for two TACH pulses. Instead, the fan spins up for the fixed time as selected in Registers 0x5C to 0x5E.

ADT7463
By reading the PWMx current duty cycle registers, users 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. Note that since other voltages can drop or be turned off during a low power state, these voltage channels set status bits or generate SMBALERTs. It is still necessary to mask out these channels prior to entering a low power state using the interrupt mask registers. When exiting the low power state, the mask bits can be cleared. This prevents the device from generating unwanted SMBALERTs during the low power state.
XOR TREE TEST MODE
The ADT7463 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 Tree, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the system board. Figure 39 shows the signals that are exercised in the XOR Tree Test Mode.

The ADT7463 has been specifically designed to operate from a 3.3 V STBY supply. In computers that support S3 and S5 states, the core voltage of the processor is lowered in these states. If using the dynamic TMIN mode, lowering the core voltage of the processor would change the CPU temperature and change the dynamics of the system under dynamic TMIN control. Likewise, when monitoring THERM, the THERM timer should be disabled during these states. DYNAMIC TMIN CONTROL REGISTER 1 (REG. 0x36) <1> VCCPLO = 1 When the power is supplied from 3.3 V STBY and the VCCP voltage drops below the VCCP low limit, the following occurs: * Status Bit 1 (VCCP) in Status Register 1 gets set. * SMBALERT gets generated if enabled. * THERM monitoring is disabled. The THERM timer should hold its value prior to the S3 or S5 state. * Dynamic TMIN control is disabled. This prevents TMIN from being adjusted due to an S3 or S5 state. * The ADT7463 is prevented from entering the shutdown state. Once the core voltage, VCCP, goes above the VCCP low limit, everything gets re-enabled and the system resumes normal operation.

Monitoring of temperature and fan speed is enabled by setting the Start Bit in Configuration Register 1 (Bit 0, Address 0x40) to 1. The fans run at full speed on powerup. This is because the BHVR bits (Bits 7:5) in the PWMx configuration registers are set to 100 (fans run full speed) by default.

Register Address 0x20 0x21 0x22 0x23 0x24
R/W Read-Only Read-Only Read-Only Read-Only Read-Only
Description 2.5 V Reading (8 MSBs of reading) VCCP Reading: holds processor core voltage measurement (8 MSBs of reading) VCC Reading: measures VCC through the VCC pin (8 MSBs of reading) 5 V Reading (8 MSBs of reading) 12 V Reading (8 MSBs of reading)
If the extended resolution bits of these readings are also being read, the extended resolution registers (Reg. 0x76, 0x77) should be read first. Once the extended resolution registers get read, the associated MSB reading registers get frozen until read. Both the extended resolution registers and the MSB registers get frozen.

These temperature readings are in twos complement format. *Note that a reading of 0x80 in a temperature reading register indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel. If the extended resolution bits of these readings are also being read, the extended resolution registers (Reg. 0x76, 0x77) should be read first. Once the extended resolution registers get read, all associated MSB reading registers get frozen until read. Both the extended resolution registers and the MSB registers get frozen.

Description TACH1 Low Byte TACH1 High Byte TACH2 Low Byte TACH2 High Byte TACH3 Low Byte TACH3 High Byte TACH4 Low Byte TACH4 High Byte
These registers count the number of 11.11 s periods (based on an internal 90 kHz clock) that occur between a number of consecutive fan TACH pulses (default = 2). The number of TACH pulses used to count can be changed using the fan pulses per revolution register (Reg. 0x7B). This allows the fan speed to be accurately measured. Since a valid fan tachometer reading requires that two bytes are read, the low byte MUST be read first. Both the low and high bytes are then frozen until read. At power-on, these registers contain 0x0000 until such time as the first valid fan TACH measurement is read in to these registers. This prevents false interrupts from occurring while the fans are spinning up.
A count of 0xFFFF indicates that a fan is:
1. Stalled or blocked (object jamming the fan). 2. Failed (internal circuitry destroyed). 3. Not populated (the ADT7463 expects to see a fan connected to each TACH. If a fan is not connected to that TACH, its TACH minimum high and low byte should be set to 0xFFFF). 4. Alternate function, e.g., TACH4 reconfigured as THERM pin. 5. 2-Wire Instead of 3-Wire Fan.

Description PWM1 Current Duty Cycle (0% to 100% Duty Cycle = 0x00 to 0xFF) PWM2 Current Duty Cycle (0% to 100% Duty Cycle = 0x00 to 0xFF) PWM3 Current Duty Cycle (0% to 100% Duty Cycle = 0x00 to 0xFF)
These registers reflect the PWM duty cycle driving each fan at any given time. When in automatic fan speed control mode, the ADT7463 reports the PWM duty cycles back through these registers. The PWM duty cycle values vary according to temperature in automatic fan speed control mode. During fan startup, these registers report back 0x00. In software mode, the PWM duty cycle outputs can be set to any duty cycle value by writing to these registers.

These registers set the target operating point for each temperature channel when the dynamic T MIN control feature is enabled. The fans being controlled adjust to maintain temperature about an operating point. *These registers become read-only when the Configuration Register 1 Lock bit is set to 1. Any subsequent attempts to write to these registers fail.

Bit <0>
Name CYR2
R/W Read/Write
Description MSB of 3-Bit Remote 2 Cycle Value. The other two bits of the code reside in Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (Reg. 0x37). These three bits define the delay time between making subsequent TMIN adjustments in the control loop, in terms of number of monitoring cycles. The system has associated thermal time constants that need to be found to optimize the response of fans and the control loop. VCCPLO = 1. When the power is supplied from 3.3 V STANDBY and the core voltage (VCCP) drops below its VCCP low limit value (Reg. 0x46), the following occurs: * Status Bit 1 in Status Register 1 gets set. * SMBALERT gets generated if enabled. * PROCHOT monitoring is disabled. * Dynamic TMIN control is disabled. * The device is prevented from entering shutdown. * Everything re-enabled once VCCP increases above VCCP low limit. PHTR1 = 1 copies the Remote 1 current temperature to the Remote 1 Operating Point Register if THERM gets asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted. This allows the system to run as quietly as possible without system performance being affected. PHTR1 = 0 ignores any THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The Remote 1 Operating Point Register reflects its programmed value. PHTL = 1 copies the local channel's current temperature to the Local Operating Point Register if THERM gets asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted. This allows the system to run as quietly as possible without system performance being affected. PHTL = 0 ignores any THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The Local Temp Operating Point Register reflects its programmed value. PHTR2 = 1 copies the Remote 2 current temperature to the Remote 2 Operating Point Register if THERM gets asserted. The operating point contains the temperature at which THERM is asserted. This allows the system to run as quietly as possible without system performance being affected. PHTR2 = 0 ignores any THERM assertions on the THERM pin. The Remote 2 Operating Point Register reflects its programmed value. R1T = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 1 Temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. R1T = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted and the channel behaves as described in the Automatic Fan Control section. LT = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Local Temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. LT = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted and the channel behaves as described in the Automatic Fan Control section. R2T = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the Remote 2 Temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. R2T = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value chosen is not adjusted and the channel behaves as described in the Automatic Fan Control section.

Bit <0>
Name STRT
R/W Read/Write
Description Logic 1 enables monitoring and PWM control outputs based on the limit settings programmed. Logic 0 disables monitoring and PWM control based on the default power-up limit settings. Note that the limit values programmed are preserved even if a Logic 0 is written to this bit and the default settings are enabled. This bit becomes read-only and cannot be changed once Bit 1 (LOCK bit) has been written. All limit registers should be programmed by BIOS before setting this bit to 1. (Lockable.) Logic 1 locks all limit values to their current settings. Once this bit is set, all lockable registers become read-only and cannot be modified until the ADT7463 is powered down and powered up again. This prevents rogue programs such as viruses from modifying critical system limit settings. (Lockable.) This bit gets set to 1 by the ADT7463 to indicate that the device is fully powered-up and ready to begin systems monitoring. When set to 1, this runs all fans at full speed. Power-on default = 0. This bit does not get locked at any time. BIOS should set this bit to a 1 when the ADT7463 is configured to measure current from an ADI ADOPTTM VRM controller and measure the CPU's core voltage. This allows monitoring software to display CPU watts usage. (Lockable.) Logic 1 disables fan spin-up for two TACH pulses. Instead, the PWM outputs go high for the entire fan spin-up timeout selected. When this bit is set to 1, the SMBus timeout feature is disabled. This allows the ADT7463 to be used with SMBus controllers that cannot handle SMBus timeouts. (Lockable.) When this bit is set to 1, the ADT7463 rescales its VCC pin to measure a 5 V supply. If this bit is 0, the ADT7463 measures VCC as a 3.3 V supply. (Lockable.)

Description A one indicates the 2.5 V high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the VCCP high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the VCC high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the 5 V high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the Remote 1 Low or High temp limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the Local Low or High temp limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates the Remote 2 Low or High temp limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. A one indicates that an out-of-limit event has been latched in Status Register 2. This bit is a logical OR of all status bits in Status Register 2. Software can test this bit in isolation to determine whether any of the voltage, temperature, or fan speed readings represented by Status Register 2 are out-of-limit. This saves the need to read Status Register 2 every interrupt or polling cycle.

Name 12V/VC
R/W Read-Only
Description A one indicates the 12 V high or low limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register only if the error condition has subsided. If Pin 21 is configured as VID5, this bit is the VID change bit. This bit gets set when the levels on VID0 to VID5 are different than they were 11 s previously. This can be used to generate an SMBALERT whenever the VID code changes. A one indicates that one of the THERM overtemperature limits has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a read of the status register when the temperature drops below THERM - THYST. A one indicates that Fan 1 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit does NOT get set when the PWM 1 output is off. A one indicates that Fan 2 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit does NOT get set when the PWM 2 output is off. A one indicates that Fan 3 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit does NOT get set when the PWM 3 output is off. A one indicates that Fan 4 has dropped below minimum speed or has stalled. This bit does NOT get set when the PWM 3 output is off. If Pin 14 or Pin 20 is configured as the THERM timer input for THERM monitoring, then this bit gets set when the THERM assertion time exceeds the limit programmed in the THERM Limit Register (Reg. 0x7A). A one indicates either an open or short circuit on the Thermal Diode 1 inputs. A one indicates either an open or short circuit on the Thermal Diode 2 inputs.

Name VID[4:0] VID5 THLD
R/W Read-Only Read-Only Read/Write
Description The VID[4:0] inputs from the CPU to indicate the expected processor core voltage. On power-up, these bits reflect the state of the VID pins even if monitoring is not enabled. Reads VID5 from the CPU when Bit 7 = 1. If Bit 7 = 0, then the VID5 bit always reads back 0 (power-on default). This selects the input switching threshold for the VID inputs. THLD = 0 selects a threshold of 1 V (VOL < 0.8 V, VIH > 1.7 V). THLD = 1 lowers the switching threshold to 0.6 V (VOL < 0.4 V, VIH > 0.8 V). VIDSEL = 0 configures Pin 21 as the 12 V measurement input (default). VIDSEL = 1 configures Pin 21 as the VID5 input. This also allows VID code changes to be detected.

These bits control the startup timeout for PWMx. The PWM output stays high until two valid TACH rising edges are seen from the fan. If there is not a valid TACH signal during the fan TACH measurement directly after the fan startup timeout period, then the TACH measurement reads 0xFFFF and Status Register 2 reflects the fan fault. If the TACH Minimum High and Low Byte contains 0xFFFF or 0x0000, then the Status Register 2 Bit is not set, even if the fan has not started. 000 = No Startup Timeout. 001 = 100 ms. 010 = 250 ms (Default). 011 = 400 ms. 100 = 667 ms. 101 = 1 s. 110 = 2 s. 111 = 4 s. Slow = 1 makes the ramp rates for acoustic enhancement four times longer. This bit inverts the PWM output. The default is 0, which corresponds to a logic high output for 100% duty cycle. Setting this bit to 1 inverts the PWM output, so 100% duty cycle corresponds to a logic low output.

If any temperature measured exceeds its THERM limit, all PWM outputs drive their fans at 100% duty cycle. This is a fail-safe mechanism incorporated to cool the system in the event of a critical overtemperature. It also ensures some level of cooling in the event that software or hardware locks up. If set to 0x80, this feature is disabled. The PWM output remains at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM Limit - Hysteresis. If the THERM pin is programmed as an output, then exceeding these limits by 0.25 C can cause the THERM pin to assert low as an output. *These registers become read-only when the Configuration Register 1 Lock bit is set to 1.

Each 4-bit value controls the amount of temperature hysteresis applied to a particular temperature channel. Once the temperature for that channel falls below its TMIN value, the fan remains running at PWM MIN duty cycle until the temperature = T MIN - Hysteresis. Up to 15C of hysteresis may be assigned to any temperature channel. The hysteresis value chosen also applies to that temperature channel if its THERM limit is exceeded. The PWM output being controlled goes to 100% if the THERM limit is exceeded and remains at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM - Hysteresis. For acoustic reasons, it is recommended that the hysteresis value not be programmed less than 4C. Setting the hysteresis value lower than 4C causes the fan to switch on and off regularly when the temperature is close to T MIN. *These registers become read-only when the Configuration Register 1 Lock bit is set to 1.
