DS1780
2 of 28
DESCRIPTION
The DS1780 is a highly integrated system instrumentation monitor ideal for use in personal computers, or
any microprocessor-based system. It monitors ambient temperature, six power supply voltages, and the
speed of two fans. Fan speed can also be controlled with the use of an internal 8-bit DAC. All
measurements are internally converted to a digital format for easy processing by the CPU.
The DS1780 can be reset to its default power-up state via a remote reset function with internal debounce
and delay. It features an interrupt that can be programmed to become active should any of the functions
the DS1780 is monitoring fall out of spec.
For board-level testability, an internal NAND TREE function simplifies the system design. A chassis
intrusion input is featured to enhance system security.
Programming and data readout are accessed via a simple 2-wire interface with 2-bit addressability. The
DS1780 power supply range of 2.8V to 5.75V allows for monitoring of parameters for 3V or 5V systems.
The DS1780 is assembled in a compact 173-mil TSSOP package.

PIN SIGNAL DIRECTION DESCRIPTION
1 A0/NTOUT Digital I/O
The lowest order programmable bit of the 2-wire bus address. This pin
functions as an output when doing a NAND TREE test.
2 A1 Digital Input The highest order programmable bit of the 2-wire bus address.
3 SDA Digital I/O 2-wire bus bi-directional data. Open-drain output.
4 SCL Digital Input 2-wire bus synchronous clock.
5 FAN1 Digital Input 0 to VDD amplitude fan tachometer input.
6 FAN2 Digital Input 0 to VDD amplitude fan tachometer input.
7 CHS Digital I/O
An active high input from an external circuit, which latches a Chassis
Intrusion event. This line can go high without any clamping action regardless
of the powered state of the DS1780. The DS1780 provides an internal open
drain on this line, controlled by Bit 6 of Configuration Register, to provide a
minimum 20 ms reset of this signal.
8 GNDD GROUND Internally connected to all digital circuitry.
9 VDD POWER
+3.3V or +5V VDD power. Bypass with the parallel combination of 10 µF
(Electrolytic or Tantalum) and 0.1 µF (ceramic) bypass capacitors.
10 INT Digital Output Active-low Programmable interrupt output. The output is enabled when Bit 1
of the Configuration Register is set to 1. The default state is disabled.
11 VOUT/NTIN Digital Input/
Analog Output
An active-high input that enables NAND Tree board-level connectivity
testing. Refer to “NAND Tree Testing” Section. Used as DAC output when
NAND Tree is not selected.
12 RST Digital I/O
Master Reset, 5 mA open drain driver, active low output with at least a 20 ms
minimum pulse width. Available when enabled via Bit 4 in Configuration
Register. This is a bi-directional I/O pin. It acts as power on RESET input.
13 GNDA GROUND
Internally connected to all analog circuitry. The ground reference for all
analog inputs.
14 +2.5VS/+VCCP2 Analog Input
Analog input for monitoring -12V or +VCCP2. DS1780 will measure voltages
on this pin from 0V to 3.6V. An external resistor ladder is required for
monitoring a -12V supply (see Figure 1).
15-19 +xxVIN Analog Inputs A/D inputs for 5 positive voltages.
20-24 VIDx Digital Inputs
Voltage supply readouts from the processor. These values are read in the VID
and VID4 Status Registers.
