adt7473 http://onsemi.com 8 product description the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is a complete thermal monitor and multiple fan controller for any system requiring thermal monitoring and cooling. the device communicates with the system via a serial system management bus. the serial bus controller has a serial data line for reading and writing addresses and data (pin 16), and an input line for the serial clock (pin 1). all control and programming functions for the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 are performed over the serial bus. additionally, a pin can be reconfigured as an smbalert output to signal out ? of ? limit conditions. table 1 illustrates the differences between the adt7473 and the adt7473 ? 1. table 1. adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 device comparison feature adt7473 adt7473 ? 1 pin 5 default: pwm2 default: therm_latch smbus address fixed address address selectable remote ch. 2 therm limit = 100 c = 136 c register 0x30, 0x31, 0x32 default: 0x00 default: 0xff register 0x3f revision reg default: 0x68 default: 0x69 register 0x40, bit 7 reserved (r/w) 1 = reset latch (lockable) register 0x42, bit 0 reserved (read ? only) 1 = therm limit latched registers 0x5c, 0x5d, 0x5e default: 0x82 default: 0x62 register 0x7c, bit 4 reserved therm output hysteresis register 0x7d, bit 4 reserved therm_latch configuration 0 = remote channel 2 1 = remote channel 1 and remote channel 2 comparison between adt7467 and adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 the following list shows some comparisons between the adt7467 and the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1: ? the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can be powered via a 3.3 v supply only, and does not support 5.0 v operation, while the adt7467 does. violating this specification results in irreversible damage to the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. see the specifications section for more information. ? a high frequency pwm drive can be independently selected for each pwm channel on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. this is not available on the adt7467. ? the range and resolution of the temperature offset register can be changed from a 64 c range at 0.5 c resolution to a 128 c range at 1 c resolution. this is not available on the adt7467. ? therm overtemperature events can be disabled/enabled individually on each temperature channel. this is not available on the adt7467. ? bit 7 of configuration register 1 is no longer supported because the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 cannot be powered via a 5.0 v supply. ? bit 0 of configuration register 1 (0x40) remains writable after the lock bit is set. this bit enables monitoring. ? 2 ? wire fan speed measurement is not supported on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. how to set the functionality of pin 9 pin 9 on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has four possible functions: smbalert , therm , gpio, and tach4. the user chooses the required functionality by setting bit 0 and bit 1 of configuration register 4 (0x7d). table 2. pin 9 settings bit 0 bit 1 function 0 0 tach4 0 1 therm 1 0 smbalert 1 1 gpio recommended implementation configuring the adt7473 as shown in figure 12 allows the system designer to use the following features: ? two pwm outputs for fan control of up to three fans. (the front and rear chassis fans are connected in parallel.) ? three tach fan speed measurement inputs. ? v cc measured internally through pin 3. ? cpu temperature measured using remote 1 temperature channel. ? ambient temperature measured through remote 2 temperature channel. ? bidirectional therm pin. this feature allows intel pentium 4 prochot monitoring and can function as an overtemperature therm output. it can alternatively be programmed as an smbalert system interrupt output.

(see system management bus (smbus) specifications version 2 for more information; this document is available from intel.) if several read or write operations must be performed in succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead of a stop condition to begin a new operation. write operations the smbus specification defines several protocols for various read and write operations. the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 uses the following smbus write protocols. the following abbreviations are used in the diagrams: s?start p?stop r?read w?write a?acknowledge a ?no acknowledge send 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 (active 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 adt7473/adt7473 ? 1, the send byte protocol is used to write a register address to ram for a subsequent single ? byte read from the same address. this operation is illustrated in figure 20. figure 20. setting a register address for subsequent read slave address wa sap register address 23 156 4 if the master is required to read data from the register immediately after setting up the address, it 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 (active 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, and the transaction ends. the single byte write operation is illustrated in figure 21. figure 21. single ? byte write to a register slave address w a data saap register address 23 15678 4
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 12 read operations the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 uses the following smbus read protocols. receive byte this operation is useful when repeatedly reading a single register. the register address must have been previously set up. 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 adt7473/adt7473 ? 1, 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. this operation is illustrated in figure 22. figure 22. single ? byte read from a register slave address data a r sap 24 3 156 alert response address alert response address (ara) is a feature of smbus devices that allows an interrupting device to identify itself to the host when multiple devices exist on the same bus. the smbalert output can be used as either an interrupt output or an smbalert . one or more outputs can be connected to a common smbalert line connected to the master. if a device?s smbalert line goes low, the following events occur: ? smbalert is pulled low. ? the master initiates a read operation and sends the alert response address (ara = 0001 100). this is a general call address that must not be used as a specific device address. ? 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 can be interrogated in the usual way. ? if more than one device?s smbalert output is low, the one with the lowest device address has priority in accordance with normal smbus arbitration. once the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has responded to the alert response address, the master must read the status registers, and the smbalert is cleared only if the error condition is gone. smbus timeout the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 includes an smbus timeout feature. if there is no smbus activity for 35 ms, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 assumes the bus is locked and releases the bus. this prevents the device from locking or holding the smbus expecting data. some smbus controllers cannot work with the smbus timeout feature, so it can be disabled. configuration register 1 (0x40) bit 6, todis = 0; smbus timeout enabled (default) bit 6, todis = 1; smbus timeout disabled voltage measurement input the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has one external voltage measurement channel and can also measure its own supply voltage, vcc. pin 14 can measure vccp. the vcc supply voltage measurement is carried out through the vcc pin (pin 3). the vccp input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage in computer systems. analog ? to ? digital converter all analog inputs are multiplexed into the on ? chip, successive approximation, analog ? to ? digital converter. (adc) this has a resolution of 10 bits. the basic input range is 0 v to 2.25 v, but the input has built ? in attenuators to allow measurement of v ccp without any external components. to allow for the tolerance of the supply voltage, the adc produces an output of 3/4 full scale (768 decimal or 300 hexadecimal) for the nominal input voltage and thus has adequate headroom to deal with overvoltages. input circuitry the internal structure for the v ccp analog input is shown in figure 23. th e input circuit consists of an input protection diode, an attenuator, plus a capacitor to form a first order low ? pass filter that provides the input immunity to high frequency noise. figure 23. structure of analog inputs v ccp 17.5k ? 52.5k ? 35pf voltage measurement registers register 0x21, v ccp reading = 0x00 default register 0x22, v cc reading = 0x00 default v ccp limit registers associated with the v ccp measurement channel is a high and low limit register. exceeding the programmed high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set. exceeding either limit can also generate smbalert interrupts. register 0x46, v ccp low limit = 0x00 default register 0x47, v ccp high limit = 0xff default
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 13 table 5 shows the input ranges of the analog inputs and output codes of the 10 ? bit adc. when the adc is running, it samples and converts a voltage input in 711 s and averages 16 conversions to reduce noise; a measurement takes nominally 11.38 ms. additional adc functions for voltage measurements a number of other functions are available on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 to offer the system designer increased flexibility. turn ? off averaging 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. when faster conversions are needed, setting bit 4 of configuration register 2 (0x73) turns averaging off. this effectively gives a reading 16 times faster (711 s), but the reading may be noisier. bypass voltage input attenuator setting bit 5 of configuration register 2 (0x73) removes the attenuation circuitry from the v ccp input. this allows the user to directly connect external sensors or to 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 setting bit 6 of configuration register 2 (0x73) places the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 into single ? channel adc conversion mode. in this mode, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can be made to read a single voltage channel only. if the internal adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 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). table 4. programming single ? channel adc mode bits [7:5], register 0x55 channel selected 001 v ccp 010 v cc 101 remote 1 temperature 110 local temperature 111 remote 2 temperature configuration register 2 (0x73) bit 4 = 1; averaging off. bit 5 = 1; bypass input attenuators. bit 6 = 1; single ? channel convert mode. tach1 minimum high byte register (0x55) bits [7:5] select adc channel for single ? channel convert mode.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 15 local temperature measurement the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 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 (0x26). because both positive and negative temperatures can be measured, the temperature data is stored in offset 64 format or twos complement format, as shown in table 10 and table 11. theoretically, the temperature sensor and adc can measure temperatures from ? 63 c to +127 c (or ? 63 c to +191 c in the extended temperature range) with a resolution of +0.25 c. however, this exceeds the operating temperature range of the device, so local temperature measurements outside the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 operating temperature range are not possible. table 6. twos complement temperature data format temperature digital output (10 ? bit) (note 1) ?128 c 1000 0000 00 (diode fault) ?63 c 1100 0001 00 ?50 c 1100 1110 00 ?25 c 1110 0111 00 ?10 c 1111 0110 00 0 c 0000 0000 00 10.25 c 0000 1010 01 25.5 c 0001 1001 10 50.75 c 0011 0010 11 75 c 0100 1011 00 100 c 0110 0100 00 125 c 0111 1101 00 127 c 0111 1111 00 1. bold numbers denote 2 lsbs of measurement in the extended resolution register 2 (register 0x77) with 0.25 c resolution. table 7. extended range, temperature data format temperature digital output (10 ? bit) (note 1) ?64 c 0000 0000 00 (diode fault) ?63 c 0000 0001 00 ?1 c 0011 1111 00 0 c 0100 0000 00 1 c 0100 0001 00 10 c 0100 1010 00 25 c 0101 1001 00 50 c 0111 0010 00 75 c 1000 1001 00 100 c 1010 0100 00 125 c 1011 1101 00 191 c 1111 1111 00 1. bold numbers denote 2 lsbs of measurement in the extended resolution register 2 (register 0x77) with 0.25 c resolution. remote temperature measurement the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can measure the temperature of two remote diode sensors or diode ? connected transistors connected to pin 10 and pin 11 or to pin 12 and pin 13. the forward voltage of a diode or diode ? connected transistor operated at a constant current exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of about ? 2 mv/ c. unfortunately, the absolute value of v be 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 adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is to measure the change in v be when the device is operated at three different currents. this is given by: v be = kt/q x ln(n) where: k is boltzmann?s constant. t is the absolute temperature in kelvin. q is the charge on the carrier. n is the ratio of the two currents. figure 24 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 micro ? processors. it could also be a discrete transistor such as a 2n3904/2n3906.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 17 length. this series resistance appears as a temperature of fset in the remote sensor?s temperature measurement. this error typically causes a 0.5 c offset per of parasitic resistance in series with the remote diode. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 automatically cancels out the effect of this series resistance on the temperature reading, giving a more accurate result without the need for user characterization of this resistance. the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 is designed to automatically cancel up to 3 k of resistance, typically. this is transparent to the user by using an advanced temperature measurement method. this feature allows resistances to be added to the sensor path to produce a filter, allowing the part to be used in noisy environments. see the noise filtering section for details. factors affecting diode accuracy remote sensing diode the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is designed to work with either substrate transistors built into processors or discrete transistors. substrate transistors are generally pnp types with the collector connected to the substrate. discrete types can be either pnp or npn transistors connected as a diode (base ? shorted to the collector). if an npn transistor is used, the collector and base are connected to d+ and the emitter is connected to d ? . if a pnp transistor is used, the collector and base are connected to d ? and the emitter is connected to d+. to reduce the error due to variations in both substrate and discrete transistors, a number of factors should be taken into consideration: ? the ideality factor, n f , of the transistor is a measure of the deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is trimmed for an n f value of 1.008. use the following equation to calculate the error introduced at a temperature, t( c), when using a transistor whose n f does not equal 1.008. refer to the data sheet for the related cpu to obtain the n f values. (eq. 2) t n f 1.008 1.008 273.15 k t to factor this in, the user can write the t value to the offset register. then, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 automatically adds it to or subtracts it from the temperature measurement. ? some cpu manufacturers specify the high and low current levels of the substrate transistors. the high current level of the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1, i high , is 96 a and the low level current, i low , is 6 a. if the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 current levels do not match the current levels specified by the cpu manufacturer, it might be necessary to remove an offset. the cpu?s data sheet advises whether this offset needs to be removed and how to calculate it. this offset can be programmed to the offset register. it is important to note that, if more than one offset must be considered, the algebraic sum of these offsets must be programmed to the offset register. if a discrete transistor is used with the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1, the best accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according to the following criteria: ? base ? emitter voltage greater than 0.25 v at 6 a, at the highest operating temperature ? base ? emitter voltage less than 0.95 v at 100 a, at the lowest operating temperature ? base resistance less than 100 ? small variation in h fe (such as 50 to 150) that indicates tight control of v be characteristics transistors, such as 2n3904, 2n3906, or equivalents in sot ? 23 packages, are suitable devices to use. nulling out temperature errors as cpus run faster, it becomes more difficult to avoid high frequency clocks when routing the d+/d? traces around a system board. even when recommended layout guidelines are followed, some temperature errors can still be attributable to noise coupled onto the d+/d? lines. constant high frequency noise usually attenuates or increases temperature measurements by a linear, constant value. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has temperature offset registers at register 0x70 and register 0x72 for the remote 1 and remote 2 temperature channels. by performing a one ? time calibration of the system, the user 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 +0.5 c offset to the temperature reading so the 8 ? bit register effectively allows temperature offsets of up to 64 c with a resolution of +0.5 c. this ensures that the readings in the temperature measurement registers are as accurate as possible. temperature offset registers register 0x70, remote 1 temperature offset = 0x00 (0 c default) register 0x71, local temperature offset = 0x00 (0 c default) register 0x72, remote 2 temperature offset = 0x00 (0 c default) adt7460/adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 backwards ? compatible mode by setting bit 1 of configuration register 5 (0x7c), all temperature measurements are stored in the zone temperature value registers (register 0x25, register 0x26, and register 0x27) in twos complement, in the range ? 63 c to +127 c. (the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 still makes calculations based on the offset 64 extended range and clamps the results, if necessary.) the temperature limits must be reprogrammed in twos complement. if a twos complement temperature below ? 63 c is entered, the
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 18 temperature is clamped to ? 63 c. in this mode, the diode fault condition remains ? 128 c = 1000 0000, while in the extended temperature range ( ? 64 c to +191 c), the fault condition is represented by ? 64 c = 0000 0000. temperature measurement registers register 0x25, remote 1 temperature register 0x26, local temperature register 0x27, remote 2 temperature register 0x77, extended resolution 2 = 0x00 default bits [7:6] tdm2, remote 2 temperature lsbs bits [5:4] ltmp, local temperature lsbs bits [3:2] tdm1, remote 1 temperature lsbs temperature measurement limit registers associated with each temperature 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. register 0x4e, remote 1 temperature low limit = 0x01 default register 0x4f, remote 1 temperature high limit = 0x7f default register 0x50, local temperature low limit = 0x01 default register 0x51, local temperature high limit = 0x7f default register 0x52, remote 2 temper ature low limit = 0x01 default register 0x53, remote 2 temperature high limit = 0x7f default reading temperature from the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 it is important to note that the temperature can be read from the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 as an 8 ? bit value (with 1 c resolution) or as a 10 ? bit value (with 0.25 c resolution). if only 1 c 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, a 2 ? register read for each measurement is used. the extended resolution register (register 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 two lsbs are being read, and vice versa. additional adc functions for temperature measurement a number of other functions are available on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 to offer the system designer increased flexibility. turn ? off averaging 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 is necessary to take a very fast measurement. setting bit 4 of configuration register 2 (0x73) turns averaging off. table 8. conversion time with averaging disabled channel measurement time (ms) voltage channel 0.7 remote 1 temperature 7 remote 2 temperature 7 local temperature 1.3 table 9. conversion time with averaging enabled channel measurement time (ms) voltage channel 11 remote temperature 39 local temperature 12 single ? channel adc conversions setting bit 6 of configuration register 2 (0x73) places the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 into single ? channel adc conversion mode. in this mode, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can be made to read a single temperature channel only. the appropriate adc channel is selected by writing to bits [7:5] of the tach1 minimum high byte register (0x55). table 10. programming single ? channel adc mode for temperatures channel selected bits [7:4], register 0x55 101 remote 1 temperature 110 local temperature 111 remote 2 temperature configuration register 2 (0x73) bit 4 = 1, averaging off. bit 6 = 1, single ? channel convert mode. tach1 minimum high byte register (0x55) bits [7:5] select the adc channel for single ? channel convert mode. overtemperature events overtemperature events on any of the temperature channels can be detected and dealt with automatically in automatic fan speed control mode. register 0x6a to register 0x6c are the therm limits. when a temperature exceeds its therm limit, all pwm outputs run at 100% duty cycle or the maximum pwm duty cycle (register 0x38, register 0x39, and register 0x3a) if bit 3 of configuration register 4 (0x7d) is set. the fans remain running at this speed until the temperature drops below therm minus hysteresis; this can be disabled by setting the boost bit in configuration register 3 (0x78), bit 2. the hysteresis value for that therm limit is the value programmed into the hysteresis registers (register 0x6d and register 0x6e). the default hysteresis value is 4 c.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 20 monitoring cycle time for voltage and temperature monitoring with averaging disabled is 19 ms. the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 is a derivative of the adt7467. as a result, the total conversion time in the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 is the same as the total conversion time of the adt7467, even though the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has fewer monitored channels. fan tach measurements are made in parallel and are not synchronized with the analog measurements in any way. interrupt status registers the results of limit comparisons are stored in interrupt status register 1 and interrupt status register 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 can be polled by reading the status registers over the serial bus. in bit 7 (ool) of interrupt status register 1 (reg. 0x41), a 1 means an out ? of ? limit event has been flagged in interrupt status register 2. this means the user needs only to read interrupt status register 2 when this bit is set. alternatively, pin 5 or pin 9 on the adt7473 can be configured as an smbalert output, while only pin 9 can be configured to be an smbalert on the adt7473 ? 1. 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 (except ovt) are sticky. whenever a status bit is 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 mask registers (register 0x74 and register 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 is set in the interrupt status registers. ovt clears automatically. interrupt status register 1 (0x41) bit 7 (ool) = 1, denotes a bit in interrupt status register 2 is set and interrupt status register 2 should be read. bit 6 (r2t) = 1, remote 2 temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. bit 5 (lt) = 1, local temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. bit 4 (r1t) = 1, remote 1 temperature high or low limit has been exceeded. bit 2 (v cc ) = 1, v cc high or low limit has been exceeded. bit 1 (v ccp ) = 1, v ccp high or low limit has been exceeded. interrupt status register 2 (0x42) bit 7 (d2) = 1, indicates an open or short on d2+/d2? inputs. bit 6 (d1) = 1, indicates an open or short on d1+/d1? inputs. bit 5 (f4p) = 1, indicates fan 4 has dropped below the minimum speed. alternatively, it indicates the therm limit has been exceeded, if the therm function is used. bit 4 (fan3) = 1, indicates fan 3 has dropped below the minimum speed. bit 3 (fan2) = 1, indicates fan 2 has dropped below the minimum speed. bit 2 (fan1) = 1, indicates that fan 1 dropped below the minimum speed. bit 1 (ovt) = 1, indicates that a therm overtemperature limit has been exceeded. bit 0 (therm limit latch) = 1, indicates a remote channel 2 latch. smbalert interrupt behavior the adt747/adt7473 ? 1 can be polled for status, or an smbalert interrupt can be generated for out ? of ? limit conditions. it is important to note how the smbalert output and status bits behave when writing interrupt handler software. figure 29. smbalert and status bit behavior sticky status bit high limit temperature cleared on read (temp below limit) temp back in limit (status bit stays set) smbalert figure 29 shows how the smbalert output and sticky status bits behave. once a limit is exceeded, the corresponding status bit is set to 1. the interrupt status bit remains set until the error condition subsides and the interrupt status register is read. the status bits are referred to as sticky because they remain set until read by software. this ensures that an out ? of ? limit event cannot be missed if software is polling the device periodically. note that the smbalert output remains low for the entire duration that a reading is out of limit and until the interrupt status register has been read. this has implications on how software handles the interrupt. note that therm overtemperature events are not sticky, resetting immediately after the overtemperature condition ceases. this also applies to smbalert if associated with an ovt event. handling smbalert interrupts to prevent the system from being tied up servicing interrupts, it is recommended to handle the smbalert interrupt as follows: 1. detect the smbalert assertion. 2. enter the interrupt handler.
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 21 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 (register 0x74 and register 0x75). 5. take the appropriate action for a given interrupt source. 6. exit the interrupt handler. 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 30. figure 30. how masking the interrupt source affects smbalert output sticky status bit high limit temperature cleared on read (temp below limit) temp back in limit (status bit stays set) interrupt mask bit set smbalert interrupt mask bit cleared (smbalert re ? armed) masking interrupt sources register 0x74, interrupt mask register 1 register 0x75, interrupt mask register 2 these registers allow individual interrupt sources to be masked out to prevent smbalert interrupts. masking an interrupt source prevents only the smbalert output from being asserted; the appropriate status bit is set normally. interrupt mask register 1 (0x74) bit 7 (ool) = 0, when one or more alerts are generated in interrupt status register 2, assuming all the mask bits in the interrupt mask register 2 (0x75) =1; smbalert is still asserted. ool=1, when one or more alerts are generated in interrupt status register 2, assuming all the mask bits in the interrupt mask register 2 (0x75) =1; smbalert is not asserted. 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 2 (v cc ) = 1, masks smbalert for v cc channel. bit 1 (v ccp ) = 1, masks smbalert for v ccp 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). enabling the smbalert interrupt output the smbalert interrupt function is disabled by default. pin 5 or pin 9 can be reconfigured as an smbalert output to signal out ? of ? limit conditions. (smbalert function is available only on pin 9 of adt7473 ? 1.) table 11. adt7473 configuring pin 5 as smbalert output register bit setting configuration register 3 (register 0x78) [0] alert = 1 the adt7473 ? 1 therm_latch function latches and asserts when temperature rises 0.25 c above the therm limit for the selected remote channel. due to a therm event, the fans spin at full speed. this can be disabled by setting bit 2 in configuration register 0x7d. pin 5 remains latched until temperature falls below therm limit for the selected zone, remote channel d1 or remote channel d2, and bit 0 in status register 2 is cleared. by default on the adt7473 ? 1, the therm limit is set as 136 c for remote channel 2 and 100 c for remote channel 1. assigning therm functionality to a pin pin 9 on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has four possible functions: smbalert , therm , gpio, and tach4. the user chooses the required functionality by setting bit 0 and bit 1 of configuration register 4 (0x7d). table 12. bit 1 bit 0 function 0 1 tach4 0 0 therm 1 1 smbusalert 1 0 gpio once pin 9 is configured as therm , it must be enabled by setting bit 1 of configuration register 3 (0x78).
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 22 therm as an input when therm is configured as an input, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 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 the therm timer section for more information. the user can also set up the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 so that, when the therm pin is driven low externally, the fans run at 100%. the fans run at 100% for the duration of the time the therm pin is pulled low. this is done by setting the boost bit (bit 2) in configuration register 3 (0x78) to 1. this works only 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 t min . if the temperature is below t min or if the duty cycle in manual mode is set to 0x00, then pulling the therm low externally has no effect. see figure 31 for more information. figure 31. asserting therm low as an input in automatic fan speed control mode therm t min therm asserted to low as an input: fans do not go to 100% because temperature is below t min . therm asserted to low as an input: fans do not go to 100% because temperature is above t min therm timer the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has an internal timer to measure therm assertion time. for example, the therm input can be connected to the prochot output of a pentium 4 cpu to measure system performance. the therm input can also be connected to the output of a trip point temperature sensor. the timer is started on the assertion of the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 therm input and stopped when therm is deasserted. the timer counts therm times cumulatively; that is, 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 status register (0x79) is designed so that bit 0 is 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 is set and bit 0 becomes the lsb of the timer with a resolution of 22.76 ms (see figure 32). when using the therm timer, be aware of the following. after a therm timer read (0x79): 1. the contents of the timer are cleared on read. 2. the f4p bit (bit 5) of interrupt status register 2 needs to be cleared (assuming that the therm timer limit has been exceeded). if the therm timer is read during a therm assertion, then the following happens: 1. the contents of the timer are cleared. 2. bit 0 of the therm timer is set to 1 (because a therm assertion is occurring). 3. the therm timer increments from 0. 4. if the therm timer limit (register 0x7a) = 0x00, the f4p bit is set. figure 32. understanding the therm timer therm therm timer (reg. 0x79) therm asserted 22.76ms 7 6 53 2 10 4 000 0001 0 therm timer (reg. 0x79) therm asserted 45.52ms 7 6 53 2 10 4 000 0010 0 therm timer (reg. 0x79) therm asserted 113.8ms (91.04ms + 22.76ms) 7 6 53 2 10 4 000 0101 0 therm accumulate therm low assertion times therm accumulate therm low assertion times generating smbalert interrupts from therm timer events the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can generate an smbalert when a programmable therm timer limit is exceeded. this allows the system designer to ignore brief, infrequent therm assertions, while capturing longer therm timer events. register 0x7a is the therm timer limit register. this 8 ? bit register allows a limit from 0 sec (first therm assertion) to 5.825 sec to be set before an smbalert is generated. the therm timer value is compared with the contents of the therm timer limit register. if the therm timer value exceeds the therm timer limit value, the f4p bit (bit 5) of interrupt status register 2 is set and an smbalert is generated. the f4p bit (bit 5) of interrupt mask register 2 (0x75) masks out the

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 25 many fans have internal pullups connected to the tach/pwm pins to a supply greater than 3.6 v. clamping or dividing down the voltage on these pins must be done where necessary. clamping these pins with a zener diode can also help prevent back ? emf related noise from being coupled into the system. for 3 ? wire fans, a single n ? channel mosfet 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; therefore, 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 must handle the higher current requirements. the only other stipulation is that the mosfet have a gate voltage drive, v gs < 3.3 v, for direct interfacing to the pwm output. the mosfet should also have a low on resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage drop across the fet, which would reduce the voltage applied across the fan and, therefore, the maximum operating speed of the fan. figure 35 shows how to drive a 3 ? wire fan using pwm control. figure 35. driving a 3 ? wire fan using an n ? channel mosfet adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 tach pwm 12v fan q1 ndt3055l 3.3v 12v 12v 10k? 4.7k? 10k? 10k? 1n4148 figure 35 uses a 10 k pullup resistor for the tach signal. this assumes that the tach signal is an open ? collector from the fan. in all cases, the tach signal from the fan must be kept below 3.6 v maximum to prevent damaging the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. if uncertain 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. figure 36 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 so that the transistor is saturated when the fan is powered on. figure 36. driving a 3 ? wire fan using an npn transistor adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 tach tach pwm 12v fan q1 mmbt2222 3.3v 12v 12v 665? 4.7k? 10k? 10k? 1n4148 because 4 ? wire fans are powered continuously, the fan speed is not switched on or off as with previous pwm driven/powered fans. this enables it to perform better than 3 ? wire fans, especially for high frequency applications. figure 37 shows a typical drive circuit for 4 ? wire fans. as the pwm input on 4 ? wire fans is usually internally pulled up to a voltage greater than 3.6 v (the maximum voltage allowed on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 pwm output), the pwm output should be clamped to 3.3 v using a zener diode. figure 37. driving a 4 ? wire fan adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 tach pwm 12v, 4 ? wire fan 3.3v 12v 12v 4.7k? 10k? 10k? v cc tach tach pwm driving two fans from pwm3 the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has four tach inputs available for fan speed measurement, but only three pwm drive outputs. if a fourth fan is used in the system, it should be driven from the pwm3 output in parallel with the third fan. figure 38 shows how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost npn transistors. figure 39 shows the equivalent circuit using a mosfet. because the mosfet can handle up to 3.5 a, it is simply a matter of connecting another fan directly in parallel with the first. care should be taken in designing drive circuits with transistors and fets to ensure 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.
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 26 driving up to three fans from pwm3 tach measurements for fans are synchronized to particular pwm channels; for example, tach1 is synchronized to pwm1. tach3 and tach4 are both synchronized to pwm3, so pwm3 can drive two fans. alternatively, pwm3 can be programmed to synchronize tach2, tach3, and tach4 to the pwm3 output. this allows pwm3 to drive two or three fans. in this case, the drive circuitry looks the same, as shown in figure 38 and figure 39. the sync bit in register 0x62 enables this function. synchronization is not required in high frequency mode when used with 4 ? wire fans. figure 38. interfacing two fans in parallel to the pwm3 output usinglow cost npn transistors adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 pwm3 3.3v 3.3v 12v 1n4148 q1 mmbt3904 q2 mmbt2222 q3 mmbt2222 10k 10k 2.2k 1k tach3 tach4 3.3v 3.3v figure 39. interfacing two fans in parallel to the pwm3 output using a single n ? channel mosfet adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 pwm3 tach3 tach4 3.3v 3.3v 3.3v +v +v tach tach q1 ndt3055l 1n4148 5v or 12v fan 5v or 12v fan 10k? typical 10k? typical 10k? typical 3.3v 3.3v bit [4] (sync) of enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) sync = 1, synchronizes tach2, tach3, and tach4 to pwm3. tach inputs pin 4, pin 6, pin 7, and pin 9 (when configured as tach inputs) are open ? drain tach inputs intended for fan speed measurement. signal conditioning in the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 accommodates the slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. the maximum input signal range is 0 v to 3.6 v. in the event that these inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 v to 3.6 v, either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range. figure 40 to figure 43 show circuits for most common fan tach outputs. if the fan t ach output has a resistive pullup to v cc , it can be connected directly to the fan input, as shown in figure 40. figure 40. fan with tach pullup to v cc 12v v cc pullup 4.7k? typical tach output fan speed counter tach adt7473/ adt7473-1 if the fan output has a resistive pullup to 12 v (or other voltage greater than 3.6 v), the fan output can be clamped with a zener diode, as shown in figure 41. the zener diode voltage should be chosen so that it is greater than v ih of the tach input, but less than 3.6 v, allowing for the voltage tolerance of the zener. a value of between 3.0 v and 3.6 v is suitable. figure 41. fan with tach pullup to voltage > 3.6 v clamped with zener diode 12v v cc pullup 4.7k? typical tach output fan speed counter tach zd1* *choose zd1 voltage approximately 0.8 v cc adt7473/ adt7473-1 if the fan has a strong pullup (less than 1 k ) to 12 v or a totem ? pole output, a series resistor can be added to limit the zener current, as shown in figure 42. figure 42. fan with strong tach pullup to > v cc or totem ? pole output, clamped with zener and resistor 12v v cc pullup 4.7k? or typical tach output fan speed counter tach zd1 zener* *choose zd1 voltage approximately 0.8 v cc adt7473/ adt7473-1 alternatively, a resistive attenuator can be used, as shown in figure 43. r1 and r2 should be chosen such that (eq. 3) 2v v pullup r2 r pullup r1 r2 3.6 v the fan inputs have an input resistance of nominally 160 k to ground, which should be taken into account when calculating resistor values.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 30 sleep states the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 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 t min mode, lowering the core voltage of the processor changes the cpu temperature and the dynamics of the system under dynamic t min control. likewise, when monitoring therm , the therm timer should be disabled during these states. dynamic t min control register 1 (0x36) bit [1] vccplo = 1 when the v ccp voltage drops below the v ccp low limit, the following occurs: 1. status bit 1 (v ccp ) in status register 1 is set. 2. smbalert is generated, if enabled. 3. therm monitoring is disabled. the therm timer should hold its value prior to the s3 or s5 state. 4. dynamic t min control is disabled. this prevents t min from being adjusted due to an s3 or s5 state. 5. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is prevented from entering the shutdown state. once the core voltage, v ccp , goes above the v ccp low limit, everything is re ? enabled, and the system resumes normal operation. xnor tree test mode the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 includes an xnor 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 xnor tree, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the system board. figure 45 shows the signals that are exercised in the xnor tree test mode. the xnor tree test is invoked by setting bit 0 (xen) of the xnor tree test enable register (0x6f). figure 45. xnor tree test pwm1/xto pwm3 pwm2 tach4 tach3 tach2 tach1 power ? on default when the adt7473 is powered up, it polls the v ccp input. by default, the adt7473 ? 1 powers up with fans running, eliminating the need for polling of v ccp . if v ccp stays below 0.75 v (the system cpu power rail is not powered up), the adt7473 assumes the functionality of the default registers after the adt74731 is addressed via any valid smbus transaction. if v cc goes high (the system processor power rail is powered up), a fail ? safe timer begins to count down. if the adt7473 is not addressed by any valid smbus transactions before the fail ? safe timeout (4.6 seconds) lapses, the adt7473 drives the fans to full speed. if the adt7473 is addressed by a valid smbus transaction after this point, the fans stop, and the adt7473 assumes its default settings and begins normal operation. if v ccp goes high (the system processor power rail is powered up), then a fail ? safe timer begins to count down. if the adt7473 is addressed by a valid smbus transaction before the fail ? safe timeout (4.6 seconds) lapses, then the adt7473 operates normally, assuming the functionality of all the default registers. see the flow chart in figure 46. figure 46. power ? on flow chart adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 is powered up has the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 been accessed by a valid smbus transaction? has the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 been accessed by a valid smbus transaction? has the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 been accessed by a valid smbus transaction? has the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 been accessed by a valid smbus transaction? is v ccp above 0.75v? check v ccp runs the fans to full speed switch off fans start fail ? safe timer fail ? safe timer elapses after the fail ? safe timeout start up the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 normally y y y y n n n n n y programming the automatic fan speed control loop to understand the automatic fan speed control loop, it is strongly recommended to use the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 evaluation board and software while reading this section. this section provides the system designer with an understanding of the automatic fan control loop, and provides step ? by ? step guidance on effectively evaluating and selecting critical system parameters. to optimize the system characteristics, the designer needs to consider the system configuration, including the number of fans, where they a re located, and what temperatures are measured in the particular system.
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 31 the mechanical or thermal engineer who is tasked with the system thermal characterization should also be involved at the beginning of the process. automatic fan control overview the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can automatically control the speed of fans based on the measured temperature. this is done independently of cpu intervention once initial parameters are set up. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has a local temperature sensor and two remote temperature channels that can be connected to a cpu on ? chip thermal diode (available on intel pentium class cpus and other cpus). these three temperature channels can be used as the basis for automatic fan speed control to drive fans using pwm. automatic fan speed control reduces acoustic noise by optimizing fan speed according to accurately measured temperature. reducing fan speed can also decrease system current con sumption. the automatic fan speed control mode is very flexible due to the number of programmable parameters, including t min and t range . the t min and t range values for a temperature channel and, therefore, for a given fan, are critical because they define the thermal characteristics of the system. the thermal validation of the system is one of the most important steps in the design process, so these values should be selected carefully. figure 47 gives a top ? level overview of the automatic fan control circuitry on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. from a systems ? level perspective, up to three system temperatures can be monitored and used to control three pwm outputs. the three pwm outputs can be used to control up to four fans. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 allows the speed of four fans to be monitored. each temperature channel has a thermal calibration block, allowing the designer to individually configure the thermal characteristics of each temperature channel. for example, a designer can decide to run the cpu fan when cpu temperature increases above 60 c, and a chassis fan when the local temperature increases above 45 c. at this stage, the designer has not assigned these thermal calibration settings to a particular fan drive (pwm) channel. the right side of figure 47 shows controls that are fan ? specific. the designer has individual control over parameters such as minimum pwm duty cycle, fan speed failure thresholds, and even ramp control of the pwm outputs. automatic fan control, then, ultimately allows graceful fan speed changes that are less perceptible to the system user. figure 47. automatic fan control block diagram mux thermal calibration 0% t min t range thermal calibration 100% 0% t min t range thermal calibration 100% 0% t min t range remote 1 temp local temp remote 2 temp tachometer 1 measurement pwm config pwm min pwm1 ramp control (acoustic enhancement) pwm generator tachometer 2 measurement pwm config pwm min pwm2 ramp control (acoustic enhancement) pwm generator tachometer 3 and 4 measurement pwm config pwm min pwm3 ramp control (acoustic enhancement) pwm generator 100% tach1 tach2 tach3
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 32 step 1: hardware configuration during system design, the motherboard sensing and control capabilities should be addressed early in the design stages. decisions about how these capabilities are used should involve the system thermal/mechanical engineer. consider the following questions: 1. what adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 functionality will be used? ? pwm2 or smbalert for adt7473? ? therm_latch or pwm2 for adt7473 ? 1? ? tach4 fan speed measurement or over ? temperature therm function? the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 offers multifunctional pins that can be reconfigured to suit different system requirements and physical layouts. these multifunction pins are software programmable. 2. how many fans will be supported in the system, three or four? this influences the choice of whether to use the tach4 pin or to reconfigure it for the therm function. 3. is the cpu fan to be controlled using the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 or will it run at full speed 100% of the time? if run at full speed, 100% of the time, this frees up a pwm output, but the system is louder. 4. where will the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 be physically located in the system? this influences the assignment of the temperature measurement channels to particular system thermal zones. for example, locating the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 close to the vrm controller circuitry allows the vrm temperature to be monitored using the local temperature channel. figure 48. hardware configuration example
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 33 recommended implementation 1 configuring the adt7473, as in figure 49 provides the system designer with the following features: ? two pwm outputs for fan control of up to three fans.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 34 step 2: configuring the mux after the system hardware configuration is determined, the fans can be assigned to particular temperature channels. not only can fans be assigned to individual channels, but the behavior of the fans is also configurable. for example, fans can be run under automatic fan control, manually (under software control), or at the fastest speed calculated by multiple temperature channels. the mux is the bridge between temperature measurement channels and the three pwm outputs. bits [7:5] (bhvr) of register 0x5c, register 0x5d, and register 0x5e (pwm configuration registers) control the behavior of the fans connected to the pwm1, pwm2, and pwm3 outputs. the values selected for these bits determine how the mux connects a temperature measurement channel to a pwm output. automatic fan control mux options bits [7:5] (bhvr), register 0x5c, register 0x5d, register 0x5e. 000 = remote 1 temperature controls pwmx 001 = local temperature controls pwmx 010 = remote 2 temperature controls pwmx 101 = fastest speed calculated by local and remote 2 temperature controls pwmx 110 = fastest speed calculated by all three temperature channel controls pwmx the fastest speed calculated options pertain to controlling one pwm output based on multiple temperature channels. the thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones can be set to drive a single fan. an example is the fan turning on when remote 1 temperature exceeds 60 c, or if the local temperature exceeds 45 c. other mux options bits [7:5] (bhvr), register 0x5c, register 0x5d, register 0x5e. 011 = pwmx runs full speed (default for adt7473 ? 1) 100 = pwmx disabled (default for adt7473) 111 = manual mode in normal mode, pwmx runs under software control. in this mode, pwm duty cycle registers (register 0x30 to register 0x32) are writable and control the pwm outputs. figure 50. assigning temperature channels to fan channels
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 35 mux configuration example this is an example of how to configure the mux in a system using the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 to control three fans. the cpu fan sink is controlled by pwm1, the front chassis fan is controlled by pwm2, and the rear chassis fan is controlled by pwm3. the mux is configured for the following fan control behaviors: ? pwm1 (cpu fan sink) is controlled by the fastest speed calculated by the local (vrm temperature) and remote 2 (processor) temperature. in this case, the cpu fan sink is also used to cool the vrm. ? pwm2 (front chassis fan) is controlled by the remote 1 temperature (ambient). ? pwm3 (rear chassis fan) is controlled by the remote 1 temperature (ambient). example mux settings bits [7:5] (bhvr), pwm1 configuration register (0x5c) 101 = fastest speed calculated by local and remote 2 temperature controls pwm1 bits [7:5] (bhvr), pwm2 configuration register (0x5d) 000 = remote 1 temperature controls pwm2 bits [7:5] (bhvr), pwm3 configuration register (0x5e) 000 = remote 1 temperature controls pwm3 these settings configure the mux, as shown in figure 51. figure 51. mux configuration example step 3: t min settings for thermal calibration channels t min is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on under automatic fan control. the speed at which the fan runs at t min is programmed later. the t min values chosen are temperature channel specific, for example, 25 c for ambient channel, 30 c for vrm temperature, and 40 c for processor temperature. t min is an 8 ? bit value, either twos complement or offset 64, that can be programmed in 1 c increments. a t min register is associated with each temperature measurement channel: remote 1 local and remote 2 temperature. once the t min value is exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at the minimum pwm duty cycle. the fan turns off once the temperature drops below t min ? t hyst . to overcome fan inertia, the fan is spun up until two valid tach rising edges are counted. see the fan startup timeout section for more details. in some cases, primarily for psycho ? acoustic reasons, it is desirable that the fan never switches of f below t min . bits [7:5] of enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62), when set, can keep the fans running at the pwm minimum duty cycle, if the temperature falls below t min . t min registers register 0x67, remote 1 temperature t min = 0x9a (90 c) register 0x68, local temperature t min = 0x9a (90 c) register 0x69, remote 2 temperature t min = 0x9a (90 c) enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) bit 7 (min3) = 0, pwm3 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 7 (min3) = 1, pwm3 runs at pwm3 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst . bit 6 (min2) = 0, pwm2 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 6 (min2) = 1, pwm2 runs at pwm2 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst . bit 5 (min1) = 0, pwm1 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 5 (min1) = 1, pwm1 runs at pwm1 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst .
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 36 figure 52. understanding the t min parameter step 4: pwm min for each pwm (fan) output pwm min is the minimum pwm duty cycle at which each fan in the system runs. it is also the start speed for each fan under automatic fan control once the temperature rises above t min (see figure 53). for maximum system acoustic benefit, pwm min should be set as low as possible. depending on the fan used, the pwm min setting is usually in the 20% to 33% duty cycle range. this value can be found through fan validation. figure 53. pwm min determines minimum pwm duty cycle temperature t min 100% pwm min 0% pwm duty cycle more than one pwm output can be controlled from a single temperature measurement channel. for example, remote 1 temperature can control pwm1 and pwm2 outputs. if two dif ferent fans are used on pwm1 and pwm2, the fan characteristics can be set up differently. as a result, fan 1 driven by pwm1 can have a dif ferent pwm min value than that of fan 2 connected to pwm2. figure 54 illustrates this as pwm1 min (front fan) is turned on at a minimum duty cycle of 20%, while pwm2 min (rear fan) turns on at a minimum of 40% duty cycle. however, both fans turn on at exactly the same temperature, defined by t min .
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 37 figure 54. operating two different fans from a single temperature channel temperature t min 100% pwm1 min 0% pwm duty cycle pwm1 pwm2 pwm2 min programming the pwm min registers the pwm min registers are 8 ? bit registers that allow the minimum pwm duty cycle for each output to be configured anywhere from 0% to 100%. this allows the minimum pwm duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. the value to be programmed into the pwm min register is given by: value (decimal) = pwm min /0.39 example 1 for a minimum pwm duty cycle of 50% value (decimal) = 50/0.39 = 128 (decimal) value = 128 (decimal) or 80 (hex) example 2 for a minimum pwm duty cycle of 33% value (decimal) = 33/0.39 = 85 (decimal) value = 85 (decimal) or 54 (hex) pwm min registers register 0x64, pwm1 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) register 0x65, pwm2 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) register 0x66, pwm3 minimum duty cycle = 0x80 (50% default) note on fan speed and pwm duty cycle the pwm duty cycle does not directly correlate to fan speed in rpm. running a fan at 33% pwm duty cycle does not equate to running the fan at 33% speed. driving a fan at 33% pwm duty cycle actually runs the fan at closer to 50% of its full speed. this is because fan speed in %rpm generally relates to the square root of pwm duty cycle. given a pwm square wave as the drive signal, fan speed in rpm approximates to: % fanspeed pwm duty cycle 10
(eq. 4) step 5: pwm max for pwm (fan) outputs pwm max is the maximum duty cycle at which each fan in the system runs under the automatic fan speed control loop. for maximum system acoustic benefit, pwm max should be as low as possible, but should be capable of maintaining the processor temperature limit at an acceptable level. if the therm temperature limit is exceeded, the fans are still boosted to 100% for fail ? safe cooling (see figure 55). there is a pwm max limit for each fan channel. the default value of this register is 0xff and thus has no effect unless it is programmed. figure 55. pwm max determines maximum pwm duty cycle below the therm temperature limit temperature t min 100% pwm min 0% pwm duty cycle pwm max programming the pwm max registers the pwm max registers are 8 ? bit registers that allow the maximum pwm duty cycle for each output to be configured anywhere from 0% to 100%. this allows the maximum pwm duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. the value to be programmed into the pwm max register is given by: value (decimal) = pwm max /0.39 example 1 for a maximum pwm duty cycle of 50% value (decimal) = 50/0.39 = 128 (decimal) value = 128 (decimal) or 80 (hex) example 2 for a minimum pwm duty cycle of 75% value (decimal) = 75/0.39 = 85 (decimal) value = 192 (decimal) or c0 (hex) pwm max registers register 0x38, pwm1 maximum duty cycle = 0xff (100% default) register 0x39, pwm2 maximum duty cycle = 0xff (100% default) register 0x3a, pwm3 maximum duty cycle = 0xff (100% default) see the note on fan speed and pwm duty cycle section.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 42 the t hyst setting applies not only to the temperature hysteresis for fan on/off, but the same setting is used for the t therm hysteresis value, described in step 6: t range for temperature channels section. therefore, programming register 0x6d and register 0x6e sets the hysteresis for both fan on/off and the therm function. hysteresis registers register 0x6d, remote 1, local hysteresis register bits [7:4], remote 1 temperature hysteresis (4 c default) bits [3:0], local temperature hysteresis (4 c default) register 0x6e, remote 2 temperature hysteresis register bits [7:4], remote 2 temperature hysteresis (4 c default) in some applications, it is required that fans not turn off below t min , but remain running at pwm min . bits [7:5] of the enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) allow the fans to be turned off or to be kept spinning below t min . if the fans are always on, the t hyst value has no effect on the fan when the temperature drops below t min . figure 63. the t hyst value applies to fan on/off hysteresis and therm hysteresis enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) bit 7 (min3) = 0, pwm3 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 7 (min3) = 1, pwm3 runs at pwm3 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst . bit 6 (min2) = 0, pwm2 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 6 (min2) = 1, pwm2 runs at pwm2 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst . bit 5 (min1) = 0, pwm1 is off (0% pwm duty cycle) when temperature is below t min ? t hyst . bit 5 (min1) = 1, pwm1 runs at pwm1 minimum duty cycle below t min ? t hyst . dynamic t min control mode in addition to the automatic fan speed control mode described in the automatic fan control overview section, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 has a mode that extends the basic automatic fan speed control loop. dynamic t min
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 43 control allows the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 to intelligently adapt the system?s cooling solution for best system performance or lowest possible system acoustics, depending on user or design requirements. use of dynamic t min control alleviates the need to design for worst ? case conditions and significantly reduces system design and validation time. designing for worst ? case conditions system design must always allow for worst ? case conditions. in pc design, the worst ? case conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: worst ? case altitude a computer can be operated at different altitudes. the altitude affects the relative air density, which alters the effectiveness of the fan cooling solution. for example, comparing 40 c air temperature at 10,000 feet to 20 c air temperature at sea level, relative air density is increased by 40%. this means that the fan can spin 40% slower and make less noise at sea level than at 10,000 feet while keeping the system at the same temperature at both locations. worst ? case fan due to manufacturing tolerances, fan speeds in rpm are normally quoted with a tolerance of 20%. the designer needs to assume that the fan rpm can be 20% below tolerance. this translates to reduced system airflow and elevated system temperature. note that fans 20% out of tolerance can negatively impact system acoustics because they run faster and generate more noise. worst ? case chassis airflow the same motherboard can be used in a number of different chassis configurations. the design of the chassis and the physical location of fans and components determine the system thermal characteristics. moreover, for a given chassis, the addition of add ? in cards, cables, or other system configuration options can alter the system airflow and reduce the ef fectiveness of the system cooling solution. the cooling solution can also be inadvertently altered by the end user. (for example, placing a computer against a wall can block the air ducts and reduce system airflow.) figure 64. chassis airflow issues fan i/o cards poor cpu airflow vents power supply cpu drive bays good venting = good air exchange poor venting = poor air exchange vents fan i/o cards good cpu airflow fan vents power supply cpu drive bays worst ? case processor power consumption this data sheet maximum does not necessarily reflect the true processor power consumption. designing for worst ? case cpu power consumption can result in a processor becoming overcooled (generating excess system noise). worst ? case peripheral power consumption the tendency is to design to data sheet maximums for peripheral components, again overcooling the system. worst ? case assembly every system is unique because of manufacturing variations. heat sinks may be loose fitting or slightly misaligned. too much or too little thermal grease might be used, or variations in application pressure for thermal interface material could affect the efficiency of the thermal solution. accounting for manufacturing variations in every system is difficult; therefore, the system must be designed for the worst ? case conditions. figure 65. thermal model substrate heat sink thermal interface material integrated heat spreader epoxy thermal interface material processor t a t j ca sa tims ctim timc jtim cs t c t tim t s t tim ja although a design usually accounts for worst ? case conditions in all these cases, the actual system is almost never operated at worst ? case conditions. the alternative to designing for the worst case is to use the dynamic t min control function. dynamic t min control overview dynamic t min control mode builds on the basic automatic fan control loop by adjusting the t min value based on system performance and measured temperature. this is important because, instead of designing for the worst case, the system thermals can be defined as operating zones. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 can self ? adjust its fan control loop to maintain either an operating zone temperature or a system target temperature. for example, it can be specified that the ambient temperature in a system should be maintained at 50 c. if the temperature is below 50 c, the fans might not need to run, or might run very slowly. if the temperature is higher than 50 c, the fans need to throttle up. the challenge presented by any thermal design is finding the right settings to suit the system?s fan control solution. this can involve designing for the worst case, followed by weeks of system thermal characterization, and finally fan acoustic optimization (for psycho ? acoustic reasons).
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 44 getting the most benefit from the automatic fan control mode involves characterizing the system to find the best t min and t range settings for the control loop, and the best pwm min value for the quietest fan speed setting. using the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1?s dynamic t min control mode, however, shortens the characterization time and alleviates tweaking the control loop settings because the device can self ? adjust during system operation. dynamic t min control mode is operated by specifying the operating zone temperatures required for the system. associated with this control mode are three operating point registers, one for each temperature channel. this allows the system thermal solution to be broken down into distinct thermal zones. for example, cpu operating temperature is 70 c, vrm operating temperature is 80 c, and ambient operating temperature is 50 c. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 dynamically alters the control solution to maintain each zone temperature as closely as possible to its tar get operating point. operating point registers register 0x33, remote 1 operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default) register 0x34, local temperature operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default) register 0x35, remote 2 operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default) figure 66 shows an overview of the parameters that af fect the operation of the dynamic t min control loop. figure 66. dynamic t min control loop pwm duty cycle t low t min operating point t high t range temperature t therm table 14 provides a brief description of each parameter. table 14. t min control loop parameters parameter description t low if the temperature drops below the t low limit, an error flag is set in a status register and an smbalert interrupt can be generated. t high if the temperature exceeds the t high limit, an error flag is set in a status register and an smbalert interrupt can be generated. t min the temperature at which the fan turns on under automatic fan speed control. operating point the target temperature for a particular temperature zone. the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 attempts to maintain system temperature at about the operating point by adjusting the t min parameter of the control loop. t therm if the temperature exceeds this critical limit, the fans can be run at 100% for maximum cooling. t range programs the pwm duty cycle vs. temperature control slope. dynamic t min control programming because the dynamic t min control mode is a basic extension of the automatic fan control mode, program the automatic fan control mode parameters first, as described in the step 1: hardware configuration section to the step 8: t hyst for t emperature channels section, then proceed with dynamic t min control mode programming. step 9: operating points for temperature channels the operating point for each temperature channel is the optimal temperature for that thermal zone. the hotter each zone is allowed to be, the quieter the system, because the fans are not required to run as fast. the adt7473/ adt7473 ? 1 increases or decreases fan speeds as necessary to maintain the operating point temperature, allowing for system ? to ? system variation and removing the need for worst ? case design. if a sensible operating point value is chosen, any t min value can be selected in the system characterization. if the t min value is too low, the fans run sooner than required, and the temperature is below the operating point. in response, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 increases t min to keep the fans off longer and to allow the temperature zone to get closer to the operating point. likewise, too high a t min value causes the operating point to be exceeded, and in turn, the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 reduces t min to turn the fans on sooner to cool the system.
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 45 programming operating point registers there are three operating point registers, one for each temperature channel. these 8 ? bit registers allow the operating point temperatures to be programmed with 1 c resolution. operating point registers register 0x33, remote 1 operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default) register 0x34, local operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default) register 0x35, remote 2 operating point = 0xa4 (100 c default). figure 67. operating point value dynamically adjusts automatic fan control settings step 10: high and low limits for temperature channels the low limit defines the temperature at which the t min value starts to be increased, if temperature falls below this value. this has the net effect of reducing the fan speed, allowing the system to get hotter. an interrupt can be generated when the temperature drops below the low limit. the high limit defines the temperature at which the t min value starts to be reduced, if temperature increases above this value. this has the net effect of increasing fan speed to cool down the system. an interrupt can be generated when the temperature rises above the high limit. programming high and low limits there are six limit registers; a high limit and low limit are associated with each temperature channel. these 8 ? bit registers allow the high and low limit temperatures to be programmed with 1 c resolution. temperature limit registers register 0x4e, remote 1 temperature low limit = 0x01 register 0x4f, remote 1 temperature high limit = 0x7f register 0x50, local temperature low limit = 0x01 register 0x51, local temperature high limit = 0x7f register 0x52, remote 2 temperature low limit = 0x01 register 0x53, remote 2 temperature high limit = 0x7f how dynamic t min control works the basic premise is as follows: 1. set the target temperature for the temperature zone, which could be, for example, the remote 1 thermal diode. this value is programmed to the remote 1 operating temperature register. 2. as the temperature in that zone (remote 1 temperature) rises toward and exceeds the operating point temperature, t min is reduced, and the fan speed increases. 3. as the temperature drops below the operating point temperature, t min is increased, and the fan speed is reduced. however, the loop operation is not as simple as described in these steps. a number of conditions govern the situations in which t min can increase or decrease.
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 46 short cycle and long cycle the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 implements two loops: a short cycle and a long cycle. the short cycle takes place every n monitoring cycles. the long cycle takes place every 2n monitoring cycles. the value of n is programmable for each temperature channel. the bits are located at the following register locations: remote 1 = cyr1 = bits [2:0] of dynamic t min control register 2 (0x37). local = cyl = bits [5:3] of dynamic t min control register 2 (0x37). remote 2 = cyr2 = bits [7:6] of dynamic t min control register 2 (0x37) and bit 0 of dynamic t min control register 1 (0x36). table 15. cycle bit assignments code short cycle secs long cycle secs 000 8 cycles 1 sec 16 cycles 2 sec 001 16 cycles 2 sec 32 cycles 4 sec 010 32 cycles 4 sec 64 cycles 8 sec 011 64 cycles 8 sec 128 cycles 16 sec 100 128 cycles 16 sec 256 cycles 32 sec 101 256 cycles 32 sec 512 cycles 64 sec 110 512 cycles 64 sec 1024 cycles 128 sec 111 1024 cycles 128 sec 2048 cycles 256 sec care should be taken when choosing the cycle time. a long cycle time means that t min is updated less often. if your system has very fast temperature transients, the dynamic t min control loop is always lagging. if a cycle time is chosen that is too fast, the full benefit of changing t min might not be realized and needs to change again on the next cycle; in ef fect, it is overshooting. it is necessary to carry out some calibration to identify the most suitable response time. figure 68 shows the steps taken during the short cycle. figure 68. short cycle steps is t1(n) - t1(n - 1) = 0.5 - 0.75 c is t1(n) - t1(n - 1) = 1.0 - 1.75 c is t1(n) - t1(n - 1) > 2.0 c is t1(n) > (op1 ? hys) yes is t1(n) ? t1(n ? 1) 0.25 c do nothing (system is cooling off for constant) yes no no do nothing wait n monitoring cycles previous temperature measurement t1 (n ? 1) current temperature measurement t1(n) operating point temperature op1 decrease t min by 1 c decrease t min by 2 c decrease t min by 4 c figure 69 shows the steps taken during the long cycle. figure 69. long cycle steps wait 2n monitoring cycles is t1(n) < low temp limit and t min < high temp limit and t min < op1 and t1(n) > t min is t1(n) > op1 yes increase t min by 1 c yes no no decrease t min by 1 c current temperature measurement t1(n) operating point temperature op1 do not change the following examples illustrate some of the circumstances that might cause t min to increase, decrease, or stay the same. example 1: normal operation?no t min adjustment ? if measured temperature never exceeds the programmed operating point minus the hysteresis temperature, then t min is not adjusted; that is, it remains at its current setting. ? if measured temperature never drops below the low temperature limit, then t min is not adjusted. figure 70. temperature between operating point and low temperature limit t min therm limit operating point high temp limit low temp limit actual temp hysteresis because neither the operating point minus the hysteresis temperature nor the low temperature limit has been exceeded, the t min value is not adjusted, and the fan runs at a speed determined by the fixed t min and t range values defined in the automatic fan speed control mode. example 2: operating point exceeded?t min reduced when the measured temperature is below the operating point temperature minus the hysteresis, t min remains the same. once the temperature exceeds the operating temperature minus the hysteresis (op ? hyst), t min starts to decrease. this occurs during the short cycle (see figure 68). the rate
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 47 at which t min decreases depends on the programmed value of n. it also depends on how much the temperature has increased between this monitoring cycle and the last monitoring cycle; that is, if the temperature has increased by 1 c, then t min is reduced by 2 c. decreasing t min has the effect of increasing the fan speed, thus providing more cooling to the system. if the temperature slowly increases only in the range (op ? hyst), that is, 0.25 c per short monitoring cycle, then t min does not decrease. this allows small changes in temperature in the desired operating zone without changing t min . the long cycle makes no change to t min in the temperature range (op ? hyst) because the temperature has not exceeded the operating temperature. once the temperature exceeds the operating temperature, the long cycle causes t min to be reduced by 1 c every long cycle while the temperature remains above the operating temperature. this takes place in addition to the decrease in t min that occurs due to the short cycle. in figure 71, because the temperature is increasing at a rate 0.25 c per short cycle, no reduction in t min takes place during the short cycle. once the temperature falls below the operating temperature, t min stays the same. even when the temperature starts to increase slowly, t min stays the same because the temperature increases at a rate 0.25 c per cycle. example 3: increase t min cycle when the temperature drops below the low temperature limit, t min can increase in the long cycle. increasing t min has the effect of running the fan slower and, therefore, quieter. the long cycle diagram in figure 69 shows the conditions required for t min to increase. a quick summary of those conditions and the reasons they need to be true follows. t min can increase if: ? the measured temperature falls below the low temperature limit. this means the user must choose the low limit carefully. it should not be so low that the temperature never falls below it because t min would never increase, and the fans would run faster than necessary. ? t min is below the high temperature limit. t min is never allowed to increase above the high temperature limit. as a result, the high limit should be sensibly chosen because it determines how high t min can go. ? t min is below the operating point temperature. t min should never be allowed to increase above the operating point temperature because the fans would not switch on until the temperature rose above the operating point. ? the temperature is above t min . the dynamic t min control is turned off below t min . figure 71. effect of exceeding operating point minus hysteresis temperature decrease here due to short cycle only t1(n) - t1 (n - 1) = 0.5 c or 0.75 c = > t min decreases by 1 c every short cycle decrease here due to long cycle only t1(n) - t1 (n - 1) 0.25 c and t1(n) > op = > t min decreases by 1 c every long cycle t min therm limit operating point high temp limit low temp limit hysteresis no change in t min here due to any cycle becaus e t1(n) - t1 (n - 1) 0.25 c and t1(n) < op = > t min stays the same actual temp figure 72 shows how t min increases when the current temperature is above t min and below the low temperature limit, and t min is below the high temperature limit and below the operating point. once the temperature rises above the low temperature limit, t min stays the same. figure 72. increasing t min for quieter operation t min operating point high temp limit low temp limit actual temp hysteresis therm limit example 4: preventing t min from reaching full scale because t min is dynamically adjusted, it is undesirable for t min to reach full scale (127 c) because the fan would never switch on. as a result, t min is allowed to vary only within a specified range: ? the lowest possible value for t min is ? 127 c (twos complement mode) or ? 64 c (offset 64 mode). ? t min cannot exceed the high temperature limit. ? if the temperature is below t min , the fan is switched off or runs at minimum speed and dynamic t min control is disabled.

adt7473 http://onsemi.com 49 solution, the engineer can adjust the system acoustics. the goal is to implement a system that is acoustically pleasing without causing user annoyance due to fan cycling. it is important to realize that although a system might pass an acoustic noise requirement specification (for example, 36 db), if the fan is annoying, it fails the consumer test. approaches to system acoustic enhancement there are two different approaches to implementing system acoustic enhancement: temperature ? centric and fan ? centric. the temperature ? centric approach involves smoothing transient temperatures as they are measured by a temperature source (for example, remote 1 temperature). the temperature values used to calculate the pwm duty cycle values are smoothed, reducing fan speed variation. however, this approach causes an inherent delay in updating fan speed and causes the thermal characteristics of the system to change. it also causes the system fans to stay on longer than necessary because the fan?s reaction is merely delayed. the user has no control over noise from different fans driven by the same temperature source. consider, for example, a system in which control of a cpu cooler fan (on pwm1) and a chassis fan (on pwm2) use remote 1 temperature. because the remote 1 temperature is smoothed, both fans are updated at exactly the same rate. if the chassis fan is much louder than the cpu fan, there is no way to improve its acoustics without changing the thermal solution of the cpu cooling fan. figure 74. acoustic enhancement smoothes fan speed variations under automatic fan speed control the fan ? centric approach to system acoustic enhancement controls the pwm duty cycle, driving the fan at a fixed rate (for example, 6%). each time the pwm duty cycle is updated, it is incremented by a fixed 6%. as a result, the fan ramps smoothly to its newly calculated speed. if the temperature starts to drop, the pwm duty cycle immediately decreases by 6% at every update. therefore, the fan ramps smoothly up or down without inherent system delay. consider, for example, controlling the same cpu cooler fan (on pwm1) and chassis fan (on pwm2) using remote 1 temperature. the t min and t range settings have already been defined in automatic fan speed control mode, that is, thermal characterization of the control loop has been optimized. here, the chassis fan is noisier than the cpu cooling fan. using the fan ? centric approach, pwm2 can be placed into acoustic enhancement mode independently of pwm1. the acoustics of the chassis fan can, therefore, be adjusted without affecting the acoustic behavior of the cpu cooling fan, even though both fans are controlled by remote 1 temperature. the fan ? centric approach is how acoustic enhancement works on the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1. enabling acoustic enhancement for each pwm output enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) bit 3 = 1, enables acoustic enhancement on pwm1 output enhanced acoustics register 2 (0x63) bit 7 = 1, enables acoustic enhancement on pwm2 output bit 3 = 1, enables acoustic enhancement on pwm3 output
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 50 effect of ramp rate on enhanced acoustics mode the pwm signal driving the fan has a period, t, given by the pwm drive frequency, f, because t = 1/f. for a given pwm period, t, the pwm period is subdivided into 255 equal time slots. one time slot corresponds to the smallest possible increment in the pwm duty cycle. a pwm signal of 33% duty cycle is, therefore, high for 1/3 x 255 time slots and low for 2/3 x 255 time slots. therefore, a 33% pwm duty cycle corresponds to a signal that is high for 85 time slots and low for 170 time slots. 170 time slots 85 time slots pwm output (one period) = 255 time slots pwm_out 33% duty cycle figure 75. 33% pwm duty cycle represented in time slots the ramp rates in the enhanced acoustics mode are selectable from the values 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, and 48. the ramp rates are discrete time slots. for example, if the ramp rate is 8, then eight time slots are added to the pwm high duty cycle each time the pwm duty cycle needs to be increased. if the pwm duty cycle value needs to be decreased, it is decreased by eight time slots. figure 76 shows how the enhanced acoustics mode algorithm operates. the enhanced acoustics mode algorithm calculates a new pwm duty cycle based on the temperature measured. if the new pwm duty cycle value is greater than the previous pwm value, then the previous pwm duty cycle value is incremented by either 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, or 48 time slots, depending on the settings of the enhanced acoustics registers. if the new pwm duty cycle value is less than the previous pwm value, the previous pwm duty cycle is decremented by 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, or 48 time slots. each time the pwm duty cycle is incremented or decremented, its value is stored as the previous pwm duty cycle for the next comparison. a ramp rate of 1 corresponds to one time slot, which is 1/255 of the pwm period. in enhanced acoustics mode, incrementing or decrementing by 1 changes the pwm output by 1/255 x 100%. figure 76. enhanced acoustics algorithm read temperature calculate new pwm duty cycle is new pwm value > previous value? increment previous pwm value by ramp rate yes no decrement previous pwm value by ramp rate step 12: ramp rate for acoustic enhancement the optimal ramp rate for acoustic enhancement can be found through system characterization after the thermal optimization has been finished. the effect of each ramp rate should be logged, if possible, to determine the best setting for a given solution. enhanced acoustics register 1 (0x62) bits [2:0] acou, select the ramp rate for pwm1. 000 = 1 time slot = 35 sec 001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 sec 010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 sec 011 = 5 time slots = 7 sec 100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 sec 101 = 12 time slots = 3 sec 110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 sec 111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 sec enhanced acoustics register 2 (0x63) bits [2:0] acou3, select the ramp rate for pwm3. 000 = 1 time slot = 35 sec 001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 sec 010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 sec 011 = 5 time slots = 7 sec 100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 sec 101 = 12 time slots = 3 sec 110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 sec 111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 sec bits [6:4] acou2, select the ramp rate for pwm2. 000 = 1 time slot = 35 sec 001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 sec 010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 sec 011 = 5 time slots = 7 sec 100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 sec 101 = 12 time slots = 3 sec 110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 sec 111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 sec
adt7473 http://onsemi.com 51 another way to view the ramp rates is to measure the time it takes for the pwm output to ramp up from 0% to 100% duty cycle for an instantaneous change in temperature. this can be tested by putting the adt7473/adt7473 ? 1 into manual mode and changing the pwm output from 0% to 100% pwm duty cycle. the pwm output takes 35 seconds to reach 100% when a ramp rate of 1 time slot is selected. figure 77 shows remote temperature plotted against pwm duty cycle for enhanced acoustics mode. the ramp rate is set to 48, which corresponds to the fastest ramp rate. assume that a new temperature reading is available every 115 ms. with these settings, it takes approximately 0.76 seconds to go from 33% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full speed). even though the temperature increases very rapidly, the fan ramps up to full speed gradually. figure 77. enhanced acoustics mode with ramp rate = 48 time (s) 140 0 0.76 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 r temp ( c) pwm cycle (%) r temp ( c) pwm cycle (%) figure 78 shows how changing the ramp rate from 48 to 8 affects the control loop. the overall response of the fan is slower. because the ramp rate is reduced, it takes longer for the fan to achieve full running speed. in this case, it takes approximately 4.4 seconds for the fan to reach full speed. figure 78. enhanced acoustics mode with ramp rate = 8 time (s) 120 0 4.4 140 120 100 80 60 40 0 20 100 80 60 40 20 0 r temp ( c) pwm duty cycle (%) r temp ( c) pwm duty cycle (%) figure 79 shows the pwm output response for a ramp rate of 2. in this instance, the fan takes about 17.6 seconds to reach full running speed. figure 79. enhanced acoustics mode with ramp rate = 2 time (s) 140 0 17.6 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 r temp ( c) r temp ( c) pwm duty cycle (%) pwm duty cycle (%) figure 80 shows how the control loop reacts to temperature with the slowest ramp rate. the ramp rate is set to 1, while all other control parameters remain the same. with the slowest ramp rate selected, it takes 35 seconds for the fan to reach full speed. figure 80. enhanced acoustics mode with ramp rate = 1 time (s) 0 35 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 r temp ( c) r temp ( c) pwm duty cycle (%) pwm duty cycle (%) as figure 77 to figure 80 show, the rate at which the fan reacts to temperature change is dependent on the ramp rate selected in the enhanced acoustics registers. the higher the ramp rate, the faster the fan reaches the newly calculated fan speed.

[2] phtr1 r/w phtr1 = 1 copies the remote 1 current temperature to the remote 1 operating point register if therm is asserted. the operating point contains the temperature at which therm is asserted, allowing the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. phtr1 = 0 ignores any therm assertions on the therm pin. the remote 1 operating point register reflects its programmed value. [3] phtl r/w phtl = 1 copies the local channel?s current temperature to the local operating point register if therm is asserted. the operating point contains the temperature at which therm is asserted. this allows the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. phtl = 0 ignores any therm assertions on the therm pin. the local temperature operating point register reflects its programmed value. [4] phtr2 r/w phtr2 = 1 copies the remote 2 current temperature to the remote 2 operating point register if therm is asserted. the operating point contains the temperature at which therm is asserted, allowing the system to run as quietly as possible without affecting system performance. phtr2 = 0 ignores any therm assertions on the therm pin. the remote 2 operating point register reflects its programmed value. [5] r1t r/w r1t = 1 enables dynamic t min control on the remote 1 temperature channel. the chosen t min value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. r1t = 0 disables dynamic t min control. the t min value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the fan speed control section. [6] lt r/w lt=1 enables dynamic t min control on the local temperature channel. the chosen t min value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. lt = 0 disables dynamic t min control. the t min value chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in the fan speed control section. [7] r2t r/w r2t = 1 enables dynamic t min control on the remote 2 temperature channel. the chosen t min value is dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature, operating point, and high and low limits for this zone. r2t = 0 disables dynamic t min control. the t min value chosen is not adjusted and the channel behaves as described in the fan speed control section. 1. this register becomes read ? only when the configuration register 1 lock bit is set to 1. any subsequent attempts to write to this register fail.
