A -5- ADM1027 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General Description Internal Registers of the ADM1027 A brief description of the ADM1027's principal internal registers follows. More detailed information on the function of each register is given in Tables IV to XXXVI. The ADM1027 is a complete systems monitor and multiple fan controller for any system requiring monitoring and cooling. The device communicates with the system via a serial system management bus. The serial bus controller has an optional address line for device selection (Pin 14), a serial data line for reading and writing addresses and data (Pin 1), and an input line for the serial clock (Pin 2). All control and programming functions of the ADM1027 are performed over the serial bus. In addition, one of the pins can be reconfigured as an SMBALERT output to indicate out-of-limit conditions. Configuration Registers Provide control and configuration of the ADM1027, including alternate pinout functionality. Address Pointer Register Contains the address that selects one of the other internal registers. When writing to the ADM1027, the first byte of data is always a register address, which is written to the Address Pointer Register. Status Registers Measurement Inputs The device has six measurement inputs, four for voltage and two for temperature. It can also measure its own supply voltage and can measure ambient temperature with its on-chip temperature sensor. Provide the status of each limit comparison and are used to signal out-of-limit conditions on the temperature, voltage, or fan speed channels. If Pin 10 is configured as SMBALERT, then this pin will assert low whenever a status bit gets set. Pins 20 to 23 are analog inputs with on-chip attenuators, configured to monitor 5 V, 12 V, 2.5 V, and the processor core voltage (2.25 V input), respectively. Interrupt Mask Registers Allow each interrupt status event to be masked when Pin 10 is configured as an SMBALERT output. This affects only the SMBALERT output and not the bits in the status register. Power is supplied to the chip via Pin 4, which the system also uses to monitor VCC. In PCs, this pin is normally connected to a 3.3 V standby supply. This pin can, however, be connected to a 5 V supply and monitor it without overranging. VID Register The status of the VID0 to VID4 pins of the processor can be read from this register. Remote temperature sensing is provided by the D1+/- and D2+/- inputs, to which diode-connected, external temperaturesensing transistors such as a 2N3906 or CPU thermal diode may be connected. Value and Limit Registers The ADC also accepts input from an on-chip band gap temperature sensor that monitors system ambient temperature. Offset Registers The results of analog voltage inputs, temperature, and fan speed measurements are stored in these registers, along with their limit values. Allow each temperature channel reading to be offset by a twos complement value written to these registers. Sequential Measurement TMIN Registers When the ADM1027 monitoring sequence is started, it cycles sequentially through the measurement of analog inputs and the temperature sensors. Measured values from these inputs are stored in value registers. These can be read out over the serial bus, or can be compared with programmed limits stored in the limit registers. The results of out-of-limit comparisons are stored in the status registers, which can be read over the serial bus to flag out-of-limit conditions. Program the starting temperature for each fan under automatic fan speed control. TRANGE Registers Program the temperature-to-fan speed control slope in automatic Fan Speed Control Mode for each PWM output. Enhance Acoustics Registers Allow each PWM output controlling fan to be tweaked to enhance the system's acoustics. Processor Voltage ID Five digital inputs (VID0 to VID4 -- Pins 5 to 8 and 19) read the processor Voltage ID code and store it in the VID register, from which it can be read out by the management system over the serial bus. The VID code monitoring function is compatible with both VRM9.x and future VRM10 solutions. The VID code monitoring function is compatible with VRM9.x. ADM1027 Address Selection Pin 13 is the dual function PWM3/ADDRESS ENABLE pin. If Pin 13 is pulled low on power-up, the ADM1027 will read the state of Pin 14 (TACH4/ADDRESS SELECT pin) to determine the ADM1027 slave address. If Pin 13 is high on power-up, then the ADM1027 will default to SMBus slave address 0x5C. This function is described later in more detail. Rev. 3 | Page 6 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -6- REV.

Supply Current vs. Supply Voltage ADM1027 SERIAL BUS INTERFACE VCC Control of the ADM1027 is carried out using the serial System Management Bus (SMBus). The ADM1027 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master controller. ADM1027 ADDR_SEL The ADM1027 has a 7-bit serial bus address. When the device is powered up with Pin 13 (PWM3/ADDRESS ENABLE) high, the ADM1027 will have a default SMBus address of 0101110 or 0x5C. If more than one ADM1027 is to be used in a system, then each ADM1027 should be placed in address select mode by strapping Pin 13 low on power-up. The logic state of Pin 14 then determines the device's SMBus address. 13 PWM3/ADDR_EN Pin 14 State 0 0 1 Low (10 kW to GND) High (10 kW pull-up) Don't Care Figure 5. Unpredictable SMBus Address if Pin 13 is Unconnected Care should be taken to ensure that Pin 13 (PWM3/ ADDR_EN) is either tied high or low. Leaving Pin 13 floating could cause the ADM1027 to power up with an unexpected address. Address 0101100 (0x58) 0101101 (0x5A) 0101110 (0x5C) (default) Note that if the ADM1027 is placed into address select mode, Pins 13 and 14 can be used as their alternate functions once address assignment has taken place (PWM3, TACH4). Care should be taken using muxes to connect in the appropriate circuit at the appropriate time. VCC ADM1027 ADDR_SEL The serial bus protocol operates as follows: 14 10kV 1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start condition, defined as a high to low transition on the serial data line SDA while the serial clock line SCL remains high. This indicates that an address/data stream will follow. All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus the R/W bit, which determines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data will be written to or read from the slave device. 13 PWM3/ADDR_EN ADDRESS = 0x5C Figure 2. Default SMBus Address = 0x5C ADM1027 ADDR_SEL 10kV 14 The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low during the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the acknowledge bit. All other devices on the bus now remain idle while the selected device waits for data to be read from or written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0, the master will write to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master will read from the slave device. 13 PWM3/ADDR_EN ADDRESS = 0x58 Figure 3. SMBus Address = 0x58 (Pin 14 = 0) The device address is sampled and latched on the first valid SMBus transaction, so any attempted addressing changes made thereafter will have no immediate effect. 2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses, eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit from the slave device. Transitions on the data line must occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable during the high period, as a low to high transition when the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop signal. The number of data bytes that can be transmitted over the serial bus in a single read or write operation is limited only by what the master and slave devices can handle. The facility to make hardwired changes to the SMBus slave address allows the user to avoid conflicts with other devices sharing the same serial bus (for example, if more than one ADM1027 is used in a system). Once the SMBus address has been assigned, these pins return to their original function. However, since the circuits required to set up the SMBus address are unworkable with the PWM and TACH circuits, it would require the use of muxes to switch in and out the correct circuit at the correct time. 3. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions are established. In write mode, the master will pull the data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In read mode, the master device will override the acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high during the low period before the ninth clock pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The master will then take the data line low during the low period before the 10th clock pulse, then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition.

The second data byte is the data to be written to the internal data register. Any number of bytes of data can be transferred over the serial bus in one operation. However, it is not possible to mix read and write in one operation because the type of operation is determined at the beginning and subsequently cannot be changed without starting a new operation. When reading data from a register, there are two possibilities: 1. If the ADM1027 address pointer register value is unknown or not the desired value, it is first necessary to set it to the correct value before data can be read from the desired data register. This is done by performing a write to the ADM1027 as before, but only sending the data byte containing the register address, as data is not to be written to the register. This is shown in Figure 7. In the case of the ADM1027, write operations contain either one or two bytes, and read operations contain one byte and perform the following functions: To write data to one of the device data registers or read data from it, the address pointer register must be set so the correct data register is addressed, then data can be written into that register or read from it. The first byte of a write operation always contains an address that is stored in the address pointer register. If data is to be written to the device, then the write operation contains a second data byte that is written to the register selected by the address pointer register. A read operation is then performed consisting of the serial bus address, R/W bit set to 1, followed by the data byte read from the data register. This is shown in Figure 8. 2. If the address pointer register is known to be already at the desired address, data can be read from the corresponding data register without first writing to the address pointer register, so Figure 7 can be omitted. This is illustrated in Figure 6. The device address is sent over the bus followed by R/W being set to 0. This is followed by two data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the internal data 1 9 9 1 SCL 0 SDA 1 0 1 1 A0 A1 D6 D7 R/W START BY MASTER D4 D5 D2 D3 D1 D0 ACK. BY ADM1027 ACK.

It is possible to read a data byte from a data register without first writing to the address pointer register if the address pointer register is already at the correct value. However, it is not possible to write data to a register without writing to the address pointer register, because the first data byte of a write is always written to the address pointer register. 2. In Figures 6 to 8, the serial bus address is shown as the default value 01011(A1)(A0), where A1 and A0 are set by the address select mode function previously defined. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA. The master sends a command code. The slave asserts ACK on SDA. The master sends a data byte. The slave asserts ACK on SDA. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the transaction. This is illustrated in Figure 10. 1 3. In addition to supporting the send byte and receive byte protocols, the ADM1027 also supports the read byte protocol (see System Management Bus specifications Rev. 2.0 for more information).

If it is required to perform several read or write operations in succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead of a stop condition to begin a new operation. ADM1027 READ OPERATIONS ADM1027 WRITE OPERATIONS This is useful when repeatedly reading a single register. The register address needs to have been set up previously. In this operation, the master device receives a single byte from a slave device, as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the read bit (high). 3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA. 4. The master receives a data byte. 5. The master asserts NO ACK on SDA. 6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the transaction ends. The ADM1027 uses the following SMBus read protocols: Receive Byte The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different types of read and write operations. The ones used in the ADM1027 are discussed below. The following abbreviations are used in the diagrams: S - START P - STOP R - READ W - WRITE A - ACKNOWLEDGE A - NO ACKNOWLEDGE The ADM1027 uses the following SMBus write protocols: In the ADM1027, 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. 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 (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. 1 S 2 3 S SLAVE W A ADDRESS 4 REGISTER ADDRESS 5 3 4 SLAVE R A DATA ADDRESS 5 6 A P Figure 11. Single Byte Read from a Register Alert Response Address Alert Response Address (ARA) is a feature of SMBus devices, which allows an interrupting device to identify itself to the host when multiple devices exist on the same bus. For the ADM1027, the send byte protocol is used to write a register address to RAM for a subsequent single byte read from the same address. This is illustrated in Figure 9. 1 2 The SMBALERT output can be used as an interrupt output or can be used as an SMBALERT. One or more outputs can be connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the master. If a device's SMBALERT line goes low, the following procedure occurs: 6 A P Figure 9. Setting a Register Address for Subsequent Read 1. SMBALERT is pulled low. If it is required to read data from the register immediately after setting up the address, the master can assert a repeat start condition immediately after the final ACK and carry out a single byte read without asserting an intermediate stop condition. 2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the alert response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call address that must not be used as a specific device address. Write Byte In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and one data byte to the slave device, as follows: 1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA. 2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the write bit (low). 3. The device whose SMBALERT output is low responds to the alert response address, and the master reads its device address. The address of the device is now known and it can be interrogated in the usual way. 4. If more than one device's SMBALERT output is low, the one with the lowest device address will have priority, in accordance with normal SMBus arbitration. Rev. 3 | Page 10 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -10- REV. A ADM1027 5. Once the ADM1027 has responded to the alert response address, the master must read the status registers and the SMBALERT will only be cleared if the error condition has gone away. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT LIMIT REGISTERS Associated with each voltage measurement channel are high and low limit registers. Exceeding the programmed high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set. Exceeding either limit can also generate SMBALERT interrupts. SMBus Timeout The ADM1027 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If there is no SMBus activity for a minimum of 15 ms and a maximum of 35 ms, the ADM1027 assumes that the bus is locked and releases the bus. This prevents the device from locking or holding the SMBus expecting data. Some SMBus controllers cannot handle the SMBus timeout feature, so it can be disabled.

Reg. 0x4D 12 V High Limit = 0xFF default Pins 20 to 23 are dedicated to measuring 5 V, 12 V, 2.5 V supplies and the processor core voltage VCCP (0 V to 3 V input). The VCC supply voltage measurement is carried out through the VCC pin (Pin 4). Setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40) allows a 5 V supply to power the ADM1027 and be measured without overranging the VCC measurement channel. The 2.5 V input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage in computer systems. 12VIN 120kV 20kV 5VIN 30pF 93kV 47kV 30pF 68kV ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER 3.3VIN All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter. This has a resolution of 10 bits. The basic input range is 0 V to 2.25 V, but the inputs have built-in attenuators to allow measurement of 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V and the processor core voltage VCCP, without any external components. To allow for the tolerance of these supply voltages, the ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale (768 decimal or 300 hex) for the nominal input voltage, and so has adequate headroom to cope with overvoltages. 71kV 2.5VIN 30pF MUX 45kV 94kV 30pF 35kV VCCPIN 105kV 35pF INPUT CIRCUITRY The internal structure for the analog inputs is shown in Figure 12.

These are digital inputs that can be read back through the VID register (Reg. 0x43) to determine the processor voltage required/being used in the system. Five VID code inputs support VRM9.x solutions. Setting Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) places the ADM1027 into single-channel ADC conversion mode. In this mode, the ADM1027 can be made to read a single voltage channel only. If the internal ADM1027 clock is used, the selected input will be read every 711 ms. The appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits <7:5> of TACH1 minimum high byte register (0x55).

There may be an instance where the user would like to speed up conversions. Setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) turns averaging off. This effectively gives a reading 16 faster than 711 ms, but the reading may be noisier. TACH1 Minimum High Byte (Reg. 0x55) <7:5> Selects ADC channel for single-channel convert mode Bypass Voltage Input Attenuators Setting Bit 5 of Configuration Register 2 (Reg. 0x73) removes the attenuation circuitry from the 2.5 V, VCCP, VCC, 5 V, and 12 V inputs. This allows the user to directly connect external sensors or rescale the analog voltage measurement inputs for other applications. The input range of the ADC without the attenuators is 0 V to 2.25 V. Rev. 3 | Page 13 of 56 | www.onsemi.com REV. A -13- ADM1027 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Local Temperature Measurement The ADM1027 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 temp register (Address 0x26). As both positive and negative temperatures can be measured, the temperature data is stored in twos complement format, as shown in Table III. Theoretically, the temperature sensor and ADC can measure temperatures from -128oC to +127oC with a resolution of 0.25oC. However, this exceeds the operating temperature range of the device (0oC to 105oC), so local temperature measurements outside this range are not possible. Temperature measurement from -127oC to +127oC is possible using a remote sensor. The forward voltage of a diode or diode-connected transistor, operated at a constant current, exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of about -2 mV/oC. Unfortunately, the absolute value of Vbe varies from device to device, and individual calibration is required to null this out, so the technique is unsuitable for mass production. The technique used in the ADM1027 is to measure the change in Vbe when the device is operated at two different currents. This is given by DVbe = KT q ln ( N ) where: K is Boltzmann's constant. q is charge on the carrier. T is absolute temperature in kelvins. Remote Temperature Measurement N is the ratio of the two currents. The ADM1027 can measure the temperature of two remote diode sensors or diode-connected transistors connected to Pins 15 and 16, or 17 and 18. Figure 13 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of a remote temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, provided for temperature monitoring on some microprocessors. It could equally well be a discrete transistor such as a 2N3904/06.

Signal Conditioning for Remote Diode Temperature Sensors Rev. 3 | Page 14 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -14- REV. A ADM1027 If a discrete transistor is used, the collector will not be grounded, and should be linked to the base. If a PNP transistor is used, the base is connected to the D- input and the emitter to the D+ input. If an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is connected to the D- input and the base to the D+ input. Figure 14 shows how to connect the ADM1027 to an NPN or PNP transistor for temperature measurement. To prevent ground noise from interfering with the measurement, the more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground, but is biased above ground by an internal diode at the D- input. To measure DVbe, the sensor is switched between operating currents of I and N 3 I. The resulting waveform is passed through a 65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise, and to a chopper-stabilized amplifier that performs the functions of amplification and rectification of the waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to DVbe. This voltage is measured by the ADC to give a temperature output in 10-bit, twos complement format. To further reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles. A remote temperature measurement takes nominally 25.5 ms. The results of remote temperature measurements are stored in 10-bit, twos complement format, as illustrated in Table III. The extra resolution for the temperature measurements is held in the Extended Resolution Register 2 (Reg. 0x77). This gives temperature readings with a resolution of 0.25oC. Table III.

Measuring Temperature Using an NPN Transistor ADM1027 D+ 2N3906 PNP D- Figure 14b. Measuring Temperature Using a PNP Transistor NULLING OUT TEMPERATURE ERRORS As CPUs run faster, it is getting more difficult to avoid high frequency clocks when routing the D-/D+ traces around a system board. Even when recommended layout guidelines are followed, there may still be temperature errors attributed to noise being coupled onto the D+/D- lines. High frequency noise generally has the effect of giving temperature measurements that are too high by a constant amount. The ADM1027 has temperature offset registers at addresses 0x70, 0x71, and 0x72 for the Remote 1, Local, and Remote 2 temperature channels. By doing a one-time calibration of the system, you 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 LSB adds a 1 C offset to the temperature reading so the 8-bit register effectively allows temperature offsets of up to 6127 C with a resolution of 1 C. This ensures that the readings in the temperature measurement registers are as accurate as possible.

If only 1 C resolution is required, the temperature readings can be read back at any time and in no particular order. TACH1 Minimum High Byte (Reg. 0x55) <7:5> Selects ADC channel for single-channel convert mode OVERTEMPERATURE EVENTS Overtemperature events on any of the temperature channels can be detected and dealt with automatically. Registers 0x6A to 0x6C are the THERM limits. When a temperature exceeds its THERM limit, all fans will run at 100% duty cycle. The fans will stay running at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM - 4 C. THERM LIMIT If the 10-bit measurement is required, this involves a 2-register read for each measurement. The extended resolution register (Reg. 0x77) should be read first. This causes all temperature reading registers to be frozen until all temperature reading registers have been read from. This prevents an MSB reading from being updated while its two LSBs are being read, and vice versa. HYSTERESIS = 48C TEMP FANS 100% Figure 15.

A ADM1027 SMBALERT, STATUS, AND MASK REGISTERS SMBALERT CONFIGURATION Pin 10 of the ADM1027 can be configured as either PWM2 or as an SMBALERT output. The SMBALERT output may be used to signal out-of-limit conditions as explained below. The default state of Pin 10 is PWM2. To configure Pin 10 as SMBALERT: Configuration Reg. 3 (Addr = 0x78), Bit 0 = 1 = SMBALERT Configuration Reg. 3 (Addr = 0x78), Bit 0 = 0 = PWM2 = default LIMIT VALUES Associated with each measurement channel on the ADM1027 are high and low limits. These can form the basis of system status monitoring; a status bit can be set for any out-of-limit condition and detected by polling the device. Alternatively, SMBALERT interrupts can be generated to flag a processor or microcontroller of out-of-limit conditions. 8-BIT LIMITS The following is a list of 8-bit limits on the ADM1027: Voltage Limit Registers 16-Bit Limits The fan TACH measurements are 16-bit results. The fan TACH limits are also 16 bits, consisting of a high byte and low byte. Since fans running underspeed or stalled are normally the only conditions of interest, only high limits exist for fan TACHs. Since fan TACH period is actually being measured, exceeding the limit indicates a slow or stalled fan.

The ADC measures each analog input in turn and as each measurement is completed, the result is automatically stored in the appropriate value register. This round-robin monitoring cycle continues unless disabled by writing a 0 to Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1. Bit 7 (OOL) = 1, denotes a bit in Status Register 2 is set and Status Register 2 should be read. Bit 6 (R2T) = 1, Remote 2 temp high or low limit has been exceeded. Bit 5 (LT) = 1, Local temp high or low limit has been exceeded. Since the ADC will normally be left to free-run in this manner, the time taken to monitor all the analog inputs will normally not be of interest as the most recently measured value of any input can be read out at any time. Bit 4 (R1T) = 1, Remote 1 temp high or low limit has been exceeded. Bit 3 (5 V) = 1, 5 V high or low limit has been exceeded. Bit 2 (VCC) = 1, VCC high or low limit has been exceeded. Bit 1 (VCCP) = 1, VCCP high or low limit has been exceeded. For applications where the monitoring cycle time is important, it can easily be calculated. Bit 0 (2.5 V) = 1, 2.5 V high or low limit has been exceeded. The total number of channels measured is Four dedicated supply voltage inputs 3.3 VSTBY or 5 V supply (VCC pin) Local temperature Two remote temperatures STATUS REGISTER 2 (REG. 0x42) Bit 7 (D2) = 1, indicates an open or short on D2+/D2- inputs. Bit 6 (D1) = 1, indicates an open or short on D2+/D2- inputs. Bit 5 (FAN4) = 1, indicates Fan 4 has dropped below minimum speed. As mentioned previously, the ADC performs round-robin conversions and takes 11.38 ms for each voltage measurement, 12 ms for a local temperature reading, and 25.5 ms for a remote temperature reading. The total monitoring cycle time for averaged voltage and temperature monitoring is therefore nominally Bit 4 (FAN3) = 1, indicates Fan 3 has dropped below minimum speed. Bit 3 (FAN2) = 1, indicates Fan 2 has dropped below minimum speed. Bit 2 (FAN1) = 1, indicates Fan 1 has dropped below minimum speed. (5 3 11.38) + 12 + (2 3 25.5) = 120 ms Bit 1 (OVT) = 1, indicates that a THERM overtemperature limit has been exceeded. Fan TACH measurements are made in parallel and are not synchronized with the analog measurements in any way. Bit 0 (12 V) = 1, 12 V high or low limit has been exceeded. STATUS REGISTERS The results of limit comparisons are stored in Status Registers 1 and 2. The status register bit for each channel reflects the status of the last measurement and limit comparison on that channel. If a measurement is within limits, the corresponding status register bit will be cleared to 0. If the measurement is out-of-limits, the corresponding status register bit will be set to 1. The state of the various measurement channels may be polled by reading the status registers over the serial bus. When 1, Bit 7 (OOL) of Status Register 1 (Reg. 0x41) means that an out-oflimit event has been flagged in Status Register 2. This means that the user need read only Status Register 2 when this bit is set. Alternatively, Pin 10 can be configured as an SMBALERT output. This will automatically notify the system supervisor of an out-of-limit condition. Reading the status registers clears the appropriate status bit as long as the error condition that caused the interrupt has cleared. Status register bits are "sticky." Whenever a status bit gets set, indicating an out-of-limit condition, it will remain set even if the event that caused it has gone away (until read). The only way to clear the status bit is to read the status register after the event has gone away. Interrupt status mask registers (Reg. 0x74, 0x75) allow individual interrupt sources to be masked from causing an SMBALERT. However, if one of these masked interrupt sources goes outof-limit, its associated status bit will get set in the interrupt status registers. Rev. 3 | Page 18 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -18- REV. A ADM1027 SMBALERT INTERRUPT BEHAVIOR HIGH LIMIT The ADM1027 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. TEMPERATURE CLEARED ON READ (TEMP BELOW LIMIT) HIGH LIMIT STICKY STATUS BIT SMBALERT TEMPERATURE CLEARED ON READ (TEMP BELOW LIMIT) STICKY STATUS BIT SMBALERT TEMP BACK IN LIMIT (STATUS BIT STAYS SET) INTERRUPT MASK BIT SET INTERRUPT MASK BIT CLEARED (SMBALERT REARMED) TEMP BACK IN LIMIT (STATUS BIT STAYS SET) Figure 17. How Masking the Interrupt Source Affects SMBALERT Output Figure 16. SMBALERT and Status Bit Behavior MASKING INTERRUPT SOURCES Interrupt Mask Registers 1 and 2 are located at Addresses 0x74 and 0x75. These allow individual interrupt sources to be masked out to prevent SMBALERT interrupts. Note that masking an interrupt source prevents only the SMBALERT output from being asserted; the appropriate status bit will be set as normal. Figure 16 shows how the SMBALERT output and sticky status bits behave. Once a limit is exceeded, the corresponding status bit is set to 1. The status bit remains set until the error condition subsides and the status register is read. The status bits are referred to as sticky since they remain set until read by software. This ensures that an out-of-limit event cannot be missed if software is polling the device periodically. Note that the SMBALERT output remains low for the entire duration that a reading is out-of-limit and until the status register has been read. This has implications on how software handles the interrupt. INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER 1 (REG. 0x74) Bit 7 (OOL) = 1, set this bit to 1 to allow masking of interrupts by Status Register 2. If this bit = 0, then setting a bit in Mask Register 2 to 1 will have no effect. Bit 6 (R2T) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Remote 2 temperature. HANDLING SMBALERT INTERRUPTS Bit 5 (LT) = 1, masks SMBALERT for local temperature. To prevent the system from being tied up servicing interrupts, it is recommend to handle the SMBALERT interrupt as follows: Bit 4 (R1T) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Remote 1 temperature. 1. Detect the SMBALERT assertion. Bit 3 (5 V) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 5 V channel. 2. Enter the interrupt handler. Bit 2 (VCC) = 1, masks SMBALERT for VCC channel. 3. Read the status registers to identify the interrupt source. Bit 1 (VCCP) = 1, masks SMBALERT for VCCP channel. 4. Mask the interrupt source by setting the appropriate mask bit in the interrupt mask registers (Reg. 0x74, 0x75). Bit 0 (2.5 V) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 2.5 V channel. INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER 2 (REG. 0x75) 5. Take the appropriate action for a given interrupt source. Bit 7 (D2) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Diode 2 errors. 6. Exit the interrupt handler. Bit 6 (D1) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Diode 1 errors. 7. Periodically poll the status registers. If the interrupt status bit has cleared, reset the corresponding interrupt mask bit to 0. This will cause the SMBALERT output and status bits to behave as shown in Figure 17. Bit 4 (FAN3) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 3. Bit 5 (FAN4) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 4. Bit 3 (FAN2) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 2. Bit 2 (FAN1) = 1, masks SMBALERT for Fan 1. Bit 1 (OVT) = 1, masks SMBALERT for overtemperature (exceeding THERM limits). Bit 0 (12 V) = 1, masks SMBALERT for 12 V channel. Rev. 3 | Page 19 of 56 | www.onsemi.com REV. A -19- ADM1027 FAN DRIVE CIRCUITRY Fan Drive Using PWM Control The ADM1027 uses Pulsewidth Modulation (PWM) to control fan speed. This relies on varying the duty cycle (or on/off ratio) of a square wave applied to the fan to vary the fan speed. The external circuitry required to drive a fan using PWM control is extremely simple. A single NMOSFET is the only drive device required. The specifications of the MOSFET depend on the maximum current required by the fan being driven. Typical notebook fans draw a nominal 170 mA, so SOT devices can be used where board space is a concern. In desktops, fans can typically draw 250 mA to 300 mA each. If you drive several fans in parallel from a single PWM output or drive larger server fans, the MOSFET will need to handle the higher current requirements. The only other stipulation is that the MOSFET should have a gate voltage drive, VGS < 3.3 V for direct interfacing to the PWM_OUT pin. VGS can be greater than 3.3 V as long as the pull-up on the gate is tied to 5 V. The MOSFET should also have a low on resistance to ensure that there is not significant voltage drop across the FET. This would reduce the voltage applied across the fan and thus the maximum operating speed of the fan. Figure 18 uses a 10 kW pull-up resistor for the TACH signal. This assumes that the TACH signal is open-collector from the fan. In all cases, the TACH signal from the fan must be kept below 5 V maximum to prevent damaging the ADM1027. If in doubt as to whether the fan used has an open-collector or totem pole TACH output, use one of the input signal conditioning circuits shown in the Fan Speed Measurement section. Figure 19 shows a fan drive circuit using an NPN transistor such as a general-purpose MMBT2222. While these devices are inexpensive, they tend to have much lower current handling capabilities and higher on resistance than MOSFETs. When choosing a transistor, care should be taken to ensure that it meets the fan's current requirements. Ensure that the base resistor is chosen such that the transistor is saturated when the fan is powered on. 12V 10kV 10kV TACH/AIN 12V FAN 4.7kV ADM1027 Figure 18 shows how a 3-wire fan may be driven using PWM control. 12V 12V 3.3V 10kV PWM 12V Q1 MMBT2222 10kV 10kV TACH/AIN 12V FAN Figure 19.

A ADM1027 NDT3055L MOSFET. Note that since the MOSFET can handle up to 3.5 A, it is simply a matter of connecting another fan directly in parallel with the first. Driving 2 Fans From PWM3 Note that the ADM1027 has four TACH inputs available for fan speed measurement, but only three PWM drive outputs. If a fourth fan is being used in the system, it should be driven from the PWM3 output in parallel with the third fan. Figure 20 shows how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost NPN transistors. Figure 21 is the equivalent circuit using the Care should be taken in designing drive circuits with transistors and FETs to ensure that the PWM pins are not required to source current, and that they sink less than the 8 mA max current specified on the data sheet. 12V 3.3V 3.3V ADM1027 TACH3 TACH4 10kV PWM3 2.2kV Q1 MMBT3904 Q2 MMBT2222 10V 10V Q3 MMBT2222 Figure 20.

A -21- ADM1027 Driving 2-Wire Fans Tek PreVu [ ] T T Figure 22 shows how a 2-wire fan may be connected to the ADM1027. This circuit allows the speed of a 2-wire fan to be measured even though the fan has no dedicated TACH signal. A series resistor, RSENSE, in the fan circuit converts the fan commutation pulses into a voltage. This is ac-coupled into the ADM1027 through the 0.01 mF capacitor. On-chip signal conditioning allows accurate monitoring of fan speed. For fans drawing approximately 200 mA, a 2 W RSENSE value is suitable. For fans that draw more current, such as larger desktop or server fans, RSENSE may be reduced. The smaller RSENSE is the better, since more voltage will be developed across the fan, and the fan will spin faster. Figure 23 shows a typical plot of the sensing waveform at a TACH/AIN pin. The most important thing is that the negative going spikes are more than 250 mV in amplitude. This allows fan speed to be reliably determined.

A ADM1027 With a pull-up voltage of 12 V and pull-up resistor less than 1 kW, suitable values for R1 and R2 would be 100 kW and 47 kW. This will give a high input voltage of 3.83 V. FAN SPEED MEASUREMENTS TACH Inputs Pins 11, 12, 9, and 14 are open-drain TACH inputs intended for fan speed measurement. 5V OR 12V Signal conditioning in the ADM1027 accommodates the slow rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The maximum input signal range is 0 V to 5 V, even where VCC is less than 5 V. In the event that these inputs are supplied from fan outputs that exceed 0 V to 5 V, either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode clamping must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range. VCC FAN PULL-UP TYP <1kV OR TOTEM POLE ADM1027 R1 10kV TACHO OUTPUT Figures 25a to 25d show circuits for most common fan TACH outputs.

The Zener diode voltage should be chosen so that it is greater than VIH of the TACH input but less than 5 V, allowing for the voltage tolerance of the Zener. A value of between 3 V and 5 V is suitable. 5V OR 12V TACH X Figure 25d. Fan with Strong TACH Pull-Up to > VCC or Totem-Pole Output, Attenuated with R1/R2 Fan Speed Measurement The fan counter does not count the fan TACH output pulses directly because the fan speed may be less than 1000 RPM and it would take several seconds to accumulate a reasonably large and accurate count. Instead, the period of the fan revolution is measured by gating an on-chip 90 kHz oscillator into the input of a 16-bit counter for N periods of the fan TACHO output (Figure 26), so the accumulated count is actually proportional to the fan tachometer period and inversely proportional to the fan speed.

Alternatively, a resistive attenuator may be used, as shown in Figure 25d. 1 2 3 4 R1 and R2 should be chosen such that 2 V < VPULLUP R2 ( RPULLUP + R1 + R2) > 5 V The fan inputs have an input resistance of nominally 160 kW to ground; this should be taken into account when calculating resistor values. Figure 26. Fan Speed Measurement N, the number of pulses counted, is determined by the settings of Register 0x7B (fan pulses per revolution register). This register contains two bits for each fan, allowing 1, 2 (default), 3, or 4 TACH pulses to be counted. Rev. 3 | Page 23 of 56 | www.onsemi.com REV. A -23- ADM1027 Fan Speed Measurement Registers Fan Speed Measurement Rate The fan tachometer readings are 16-bit values consisting of a 2-byte read from the ADM1027. The fan TACH readings are normally updated once every second. Reg. 0x28 TACH1 Low Byte = 0x00 default Reg. 0x29 TACH1 High Byte = 0x00 default The fast bit (Bit 3) of Configuration Register 3 (Reg. 0x78), when set, updates the fan TACH readings every 250 ms. Reg. 0x2C TACH3 Low Byte = 0x00 default If any of the fans are not being driven by a PWM channel but are powered directly from 5 V or 12 V, their associated dc bit in Configuration Register 3 should be set. This allows TACH readings to be taken on a continuous basis for fans connected directly to a dc source. Reg. 0x2D TACH3 High Byte = 0x00 default Calculating Fan Speed Reg. 0x2A TACH2 Low Byte = 0x00 default Reg. 0x2B TACH2 High Byte = 0x00 default Reg. 0x2E TACH4 Low Byte = 0x00 default Reg. 0x2F TACH4 High Byte = 0x00 default Reading Fan Speed From the ADM1027 If fan speeds are being measured, this involves a 2-register read for each measurement. The low byte should be read first. This causes the high byte to be frozen until both high and low byte registers have been read from. This prevents erroneous TACH readings. The fan tachometer reading registers report back the number of 11.11 ms period clocks (90 kHz oscillator) gated to the fan speed counter, from the rising edge of the first fan TACH pulse to the rising edge of the third fan TACH pulse (assuming two pulses per revolution are being counted). Since the device is essentially measuring the fan TACH period, the higher the count value, the slower the fan is actually running. A 16-bit fan tachometer reading of 0xFFFF indicates that the fan either has stalled or is running very slowly (< 100 RPM). HIGH LIMIT: > COMPARISON PERFORMED Since actual fan TACH period is being measured, exceeding a fan TACH limit by 1 will set the appropriate status bit and can be used to generate an SMBALERT. Fan Tach Limit Registers The fan TACH limit registers are 16-bit values consisting of two bytes. Reg. 0x54 TACH1 Minimum Low Byte = 0xFF default Reg. 0x55 TACH1 Minimum High Byte = 0xFF default Reg. 0x56 TACH2 Minimum Low Byte = 0xFF default Assuming a fan with 2 pulses/revolution (and 2 pulses/rev being measured), fan speed is calculated by: Fan Speed ( RPM ) = (90, 000 60) Fan Tach Reading where Fan Tach Reading = 16-bit fan tachometer reading. Example: TACH1 high byte (Reg. 0x29) = 0x17 TACH1 low byte (Reg. 0x28) = 0xFF What is Fan 1 speed in RPM? Fan 1 TACH reading = 0x17FF = 6143 decimal RPM = (f 60)/fan 1 TACH reading RPM = (90000 60)/6143 Fan Speed = 879 RPM FAN PULSES PER REVOLUTION Different fan models can output either 1, 2, 3, or 4 TACH pulses per revolution. Once the number of fan TACH pulses has been determined, it can be programmed into the fan pulses per revolution register (Reg. 0x7B) for each fan. Alternatively, this register can be used to determine the number or pulses/ revolution output by a given fan. By plotting fan speed measurements at 100% speed with different pulses/rev setting, the smoothest graph with the lowest ripple determines the correct pulses/rev value. Fan Pulses Per Revolution Register <1:0> FAN1 default = 2 pulses/rev <3:2> FAN2 default = 2 pulses/rev <5:4> FAN3 default = 2 pulses/rev <7:6> FAN4 default = 2 pulses/rev Reg. 0x57 TACH2 Minimum High Byte = 0xFF default 00 = 1 pulse/rev Reg. 0x58 TACH3 Minimum Low Byte = 0xFF default 01 = 2 pulses/rev Reg. 0x59 TACH3 Minimum High Byte = 0xFF default 10 = 3 pulses/rev Reg. 0x5A TACH4 Minimum Low Byte = 0xFF default 11 = 4 pulses/rev Reg. 0x5B TACH4 Minimum High Byte = 0xFF default Rev. 3 | Page 24 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -24- REV. A ADM1027 2-Wire Fan Speed Measurements PWM1 CONFIGURATION (REG. 0x5C) The ADM1027 is capable of measuring the speed of 2-wire fans, i.e., fans without TACH outputs. To do this, the fan must be interfaced as shown in the Fan Drive Circuitry section of the data sheet. In this case, the TACH inputs need to be reprogrammed as analog inputs, AIN. <2:0> SPIN CONFIGURATION REGISTER 2 (REG. 0x73) Bit 3 (AIN4) = 1, Pin 14 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. Bit 2 (AIN3) = 1, Pin 9 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. These bits control the start-up timeout for PWM1. 000 = No startup timeout 001 = 100 ms 010 = 250 ms (default) 011 = 400 ms 101 = 1 sec 110 = 2 sec 111 = 4 sec PWM2 CONFIGURATION (REG. 0x5D) <2:0> SPIN Bit 1 (AIN2) = 1, Pin 12 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. Bit 0 (AIN1) = 1, Pin 11 is reconfigured to measure the speed of a 2-wire fan using an external sensing resistor and coupling capacitor. These bits control the start-up timeout for PWM2. 000 = No startup timeout 001 = 100 ms 010 = 250 ms (default) 011 = 400 ms 101 = 1 sec 110 = 2 sec 111 = 4 sec FAN SPIN-UP PWM3 CONFIGURATION (REG. 0x5E) The ADM1027 has a unique fan spin-up function. It will spin the fan at 100% PWM duty cycle until two TACH pulses are detected on the TACH input. Once two pulses have been detected, the PWM duty cycle will go to the expected running value, e.g., 33%. The advantage of this is that fans have different spin-up characteristics and will take different times to overcome inertia. The ADM1027 just runs the fans fast enough to overcome inertia and will be quieter on spin-up than fans programmed to spin up for a given spin-up time. <2:0> SPIN Disabling Fan Start-Up Timeout FAN START-UP TIMEOUT To prevent false interrupts being generated as a fan spins up (since it is below running speed), the ADM1027 includes a fan start-up timeout function. This is the time limit allowed for two TACH pulses to be detected on spin-up. For example, if 2 seconds fan start-up timeout is chosen, and no TACH pulses occur within 2 seconds of the start of spin-up, a fan fault is detected and flagged in the interrupt status registers. Although fan start-up makes fan spin-ups much quieter than fixed-time spin-ups, the option is there to use fixed spin-up times. Bit 5 (FSPDIS) = 1 in Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40) disables the spin-up for two TACH pulses. Instead, the fan will spin up for the fixed time as selected in registers 0x5C to 0x5E.

Once under manual control, each PWM output may be manually updated by writing to Registers 0x30 to 0x32 (PWMx current duty cycle registers).

Registers 0x5F to 0x61 configure the PWM frequency for PWM1 to PWM3, respectively. PWM1 FREQUENCY REGISTERS (REG. 0x5F to 0x61) <2:0> FREQ 000 = 11.0 Hz 001 = 14.7 Hz 010 = 22.1 Hz 011 = 29.4 Hz 100 = 35.3 Hz (default) 101 = 44.1 Hz 110 = 58.8 Hz 111 = 88.2 Hz Manual Fan Speed Control The ADM1027 allows the duty cycle of any PWM output to be manually adjusted. This can be useful if you want to change fan speed in software or want to adjust PWM duty cycle output for test purposes. Bits <7:5> of Registers 0x5C to 0x5E (PWM configuration) control the behavior of each PWM output. Programming the PWM Current Duty Cycle Registers The PWM current duty cycle registers are 8-bit registers that allow the PWM duty cycle for each output to be set anywhere from 0% to 100%. This allows the PWM duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. The value to be programmed into the PWMMIN register is given by Value (decimal ) = PWM MIN 0.39 Example 1: for a PWM duty cycle of 50%, Value (decimal) = 50/0.39 = 128 decimal Value = 128 decimal or 80 hex. Example 2: for a PWM duty cycle of 33%, Value (decimal) = 33/0.39 = 85 decimal Value = 85 decimal or 54 hex. PWM Duty Cycle Registers Reg. 0x30 PWM1 Duty Cycle = 0xFF (100% default) Reg. 0x31 PWM2 Duty Cycle = 0xFF (100% default) Reg. 0x32 PWM3 Duty Cycle = 0xFF (100% default) By reading the PWMx current duty cycle registers, you can keep track of the current duty cycle on each PWM output, even when the fans are running in automatic fan speed control mode or acoustic enhancement mode. Rev. 3 | Page 26 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -26- REV. A ADM1027 AUTOMATIC FAN SPEED CONTROL MODE The ADM1027 has a local temperature sensor and two remote temperature channels that may be connected to an on-chip diode-connected transistor on a CPU. These three temperature channels may be used as the basis for automatic fan speed control to drive fans using pulsewidth modulation (PWM). In general, the greater the number of fans in a system, the better the cooling, but to the detriment of system acoustics. Automatic fan speed control reduces acoustic noise by optimizing fan speed according to measured temperature. Reducing fan speed can also decrease system current consumption. The automatic fan speed control mode is very flexible, owing to the number of programmable parameters, including TMIN and TRANGE, as discussed in detail later. The TMIN and TRANGE values chosen for a given fan are critical, since these define the thermal characteristics of the system. The thermal validation of the system is one of the most important steps of the design process, so these values should be carefully selected. The aim of this section is not only to provide the system designer with an understanding of the automatic fan control loop, but also to provide step-by-step guidance as to how to most effectively evaluate and select the critical system parameters. To optimize the system characteristics, the designer needs to give some forethought to how the system will be configured, e.g., the number of fans, where they are located, and what temperatures are being measured in the particular system. The mechanical or thermal engineer who is tasked with the actual system evaluation should also be involved at the beginning of the process. Automatic Fan Control Overview Figure 27 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan control circuitry on the ADM1027. 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 ADM1027 allows the speed of four fans to be monitored. The right side of the block diagram shows controls that are fan-specific. The designer has control over individual parameters such as minimum PWM duty cycle, fan speed failure thresholds, and even ramp control of the PWM outputs. This ultimately allows graceful fan speed changes that are less perceptible to the system user.

Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise pickup. A 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is recommended. Step 1 Determine the Hardware Configuration Essentially this means choosing whether to use Pin 10 as a PWM2 output or as an SMBALERT output and deciding which SMBus address is to be used. To set Pin 10 as SMBALERT, set Bit 0 of Configuration Register 3 (Addr = 0x78) equal to 1. The default state is PWM2, where this bit equals 0. It also refers to the layout recommendations of the ADM1027 on a motherboard, for example. 4. Try to minimize the number of copper/solder joints, which can cause thermocouple effects. Where copper/solder joints are used, make sure that they are in both the D+ and D- path and at the same temperature. Avoid routing D+/D- on multiple layers or through vias if possible. These increase series resistance that will cause temperature error. ADM1027 Placement Considerations 5. Place a 0.1 mF supply bypass capacitor close to the ADM1027. Motherboards are electrically noisy environments, and care must be taken to protect the analog inputs from noise, particularly the D+/D- lines of a remote diode sensor. The following precautions should be taken: 6. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches, the use of shielded twisted pair cable is recommended. This will work up to 100 feet. Connect the twisted pair to D+/D- and the shield to GND close to the ADM1027. Leave the remote end of the shield unconnected to avoid ground loops. 1. Place the ADM1027 as close as possible to the remote sensing diode. Provided that the worst noise sources such as clocks and data/address buses are avoided, this distance can be 4 inches to 8 inches. 2. Route the D+ and D- tracks close together, in parallel, with grounded guard tracks on each side. Provide a ground plane under the tracks if possible. Do NOT run the D+/D- lines in different directions. Because the measurement technique uses switched current sources, excessive cable (adds resistance) and/or filter capacitance can affect the measurement. A 1 W series resistance introduces about 0.8oC error. Rev. 3 | Page 28 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -28- REV. A ADM1027 Step 2 Automatic Fan Control Mux Options Configuring the Mux: Which Temperature Controls Which Fan? <7:5> (BHVR) REGISTERS 0x5C, 0x5D, 0x5E Having decided on the system hardware configuration, the fans can be assigned to particular temperature channels. Not only can fans be assigned to individual channels, but how a fan behaves is configurable. For example, fans can run under automatic fan control, manually (software control), or can run 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 bits) of Registers 0x5C, 0x5D, and 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. 000 = Remote 1 temp controls PWMx 001 = Local temp controls PWMx 010 = Remote 2 temp controls PWMx 101 = Fastest speed calculated by local and remote 2 temp controls PWMx 110 = Fastest speed calculated by all three temperature channels controls PWMx The fastest speed calculated options refer to the ability to control one PWM output based on multiple temperature channels. While the thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones can be set up differently, they can drive a single fan. An example would be if the fan turns on when Remote 1 temp exceeds 60 C or local temp exceeds 45 C.

The speed at which the fan runs at TMIN is programmed later. The TMIN values chosen will be temperature channel specific, e.g., 25 C for ambient channel, 30 C for VRM temperature, and 40 C for processor temperature. Reg. 0x68 Local Temperature TMIN = 0x5A (90 C default) TMIN is an 8-bit twos complement value that can be programmed in 1 C increments. There is a TMIN register associated with each temperature measurement channel, Remote 1, Local and Remote 2 Temp. Once the TMIN value is exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at minimum PWM duty cycle. The fan will turn off once temperature has dropped below TMIN - THYST (detailed later). To overcome fan inertia, the fan is spun up until two valid TACH rising edges are counted. See the Fan Start-Up Timeout section for more details. In some cases, primarily for psycho-acoustic reasons, it is desirable that the fan never switches off below TMIN.

A ADM1027 Step 4 Programming the PWMMIN Registers Determine PWMMIN for Each PWM (Fan) Output The PWMMIN 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 minimum PWM duty cycle to be set in steps of 0.39%. PWMMIN is the minimum PWM duty cycle that each fan in the system will run at. It is also the start speed for each fan under automatic fan control once the temperature rises above TMIN. For maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMIN should be as low as possible. Starting the fans at higher speeds than necessary will merely make the system louder than needed. Depending on the fan used, the PWMMIN setting should be in the range 20% to 33% duty cycle. This value can be found through fan validation. The value to be programmed into the PWMMIN 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 100% PWM DUTY CYCLE Example 2: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 33%, Value (decimal) = 33/0.39 = 85 decimal Value = 85 decimal or 54 hex PWMMIN Registers PWMMIN Reg. 0x64 PWM1 Minimum Duty Cycle = 0x80 (50% default) 0% Reg. 0x65 PWM2 Minimum Duty Cycle = 0x80 (50% default) TMIN Reg. 0x66 PWM3 Minimum Duty Cycle = 0x80 (50% default) TEMPERATURE Figure 30. PWMMIN Determines Minimum PWM Duty Cycle It is important to note that 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 different fans are used on PWM1 and PWM2, then the fan characteristics can be set up differently. So Fan 1 driven by PWM1 can have a different PWMMIN value than that of Fan 2 connected to PWM2. Figure 31 illustrates this as PWM1MIN (front fan) is turned on at a minimum duty cycle of 20%, whereas PWM2MIN (rear fan) turns on at a minimum of 40% duty cycle. Note however, that both fans turn on at the exact same temperature, defined by TMIN. Fan Speed and PWM Duty Cycle Note that 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 relates to the square root of PWM duty cycle. Given a PWM square wave as the drive signal, fan speed in RPM equates to PWM DUTY CYCLE 100% M2 PW M1 PW PWM2MIN PWM1MIN 0% TMIN TEMPERATURE Figure 31.

TRANGE is actually a temperature slope and not an arbitrary value, i.e., a TRANGE of 40 C only holds true for PWMMIN = 33%. If PWMMIN is increased or decreased, the effective TRANGE is changed, as described later. TRANGE is implemented as a slope, which means as PWMMIN is changed, TRANGE changes, but the actual slope remains the same. The higher the PWMMIN value, the smaller the effective TRANGE will be, i.e., the fan will reach full speed (100%) at a lower temperature.

TRANGE Parameter Affects Cooling Slope The TRANGE or fan control slope is determined by the following procedure: 1. Determine the maximum operating temperature for that channel, e.g., 70 C. For a given TRANGE value, the temperature at which the fan will run full-speed for different PWMMIN values can easily be calculated: TMAX = TMIN + ( MaxD.C. - MinD.C.) TRANGE 170 where: 2. Determine experimentally the fan speed (PWM duty cycle value) will not exceed that temperature at the worst-case operating points, e.g., 70 C is reached when the fans are running at 50% PWM duty cycle. TMAX = Temperature at which the fan runs full-speed 3. Determine the slope of the required control loop to meet these requirements. MinD.C. = PWMMIN 4.

A -33- ADM1027 Step 6 Determine TTHERM for Each Temperature Channel TTHERM is the absolute maximum temperature allowed on a temperature channel. Above this temperature, a component such as the CPU or VRM may be operating beyond its safe operating limit. When the measured temperature exceeds TTHERM, all fans are driven at 100% PWM duty cycle (full speed) to provide critical system cooling. The fans remain running at 100% until the temperature drops below TTHERM - hysteresis. The hysteresis value is 4 C. The TTHERM limit should be considered the maximum worstcase operating temperature of the system. Since exceeding any TTHERM limit runs all fans at 100%, it has very negative acoustic effects. Ultimately, this limit should be set up as a fail-safe, and the user should ensure that it is not exceeded under normal system operating conditions. Note that the TTHERM limits are nonmaskable and affect the fan speed no matter what automatic fan control settings are configured. This allows some flexibility since a TRANGE value can be selected based on its slope, while a hard limit, e.g., 70 C, can be programmed as TMAX (the temperature at which the fan reaches full speed) by setting TTHERM to 70 C. THERM hysteresis is 4 C.

Understanding How TTHERM Relates to Automatic Fan Control Rev. 3 | Page 34 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -34- REV. A ADM1027 Step 7 Determine THYST for Each Temperature Channel THYST is the amount of extra cooling a fan provides after the measured temperature has dropped back below TMIN before the fan turns off. The premise for temperature hysteresis (THYST) is that without it, the fan would merely chatter, or cycle on and off regularly, whenever the temperature is hovering about the TMIN setting. The THYST value chosen will determine the amount of time needed for the system to cool down or heat up, as the fan is turning on and off. Values of hysteresis are programmable in the range 1 C to 15 C. Larger values of THYST prevent the fans chattering on and off as previously described. The THYST default value is 4 C. Hysteresis Registers Note that in some applications it is required that the fans not turn off below TMIN, but remain running at PWMMIN. Bits <7:5> of Enhance Acoustics Register 1 (Reg. 0x62) allow the fans to be turned off or kept spinning below TMIN. If the fans are always on, the THYST value has no effect on the fan when the temperature drops below TMIN.

The THYST Value Applies to Fan On/Off Hysteresis and THERM Hysteresis Rev. 3 | Page 35 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -35- REAR CHASSIS ADM1027 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, since the fan reaction is merely delayed. The user also has no control over noise from different fans driven by the same temperature source. Consider controlling a CPU cooler fan (on PWM1) and a chassis fan (on PWM2) using Remote 1 temperature. Because the Remote 1 temperature is smoothed, both fans will be 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. ENHANCING SYSTEM ACOUSTICS Automatic fan speed control mode reacts instantaneously to changes in temperature, i.e., the PWM duty cycle will respond immediately to temperature change. Any impulses in temperature can cause an impulse in fan noise. For psycho-acoustic reasons, the ADM1027 can prevent the PWM output from reacting instantaneously to temperature changes. Enhanced acoustic mode will control the maximum change in PWM duty cycle in a given time. The objective is to prevent the fan cycling up and down and annoying the system user. Acoustic Enhancement Mode Overview Figure 37 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan control circuitry on the ADM1027 and where acoustic enhancement fits in. Acoustic enhancement is intended as a post-design tweak when a system or mechanical engineer is evaluating best settings for the system. Having determined the optimal settings for the thermal solution, the engineer can adjust the system acoustics. The goal is to implement a system that is acoustically pleasing without causing the user annoyance due to fan cycling. It is important to realize that although a system may pass an acoustic noise requirement specification, e.g., 36 dB, if the fan is annoying, it will fail the consumer test. The Approach There are two different approaches to implementing system acoustic enhancement. The first method is temperature-centric. This involves smoothing transient temperatures as they are measured by a temperature source, e.g., Remote 1 temperature. The temperature values used to calculate PWM duty cycle values would be smoothed, reducing fan speed variation. However, The second approach is fan-centric. The idea is to control the PWM duty cycle driving the fan at a fixed rate, e.g., 6%. Each time the PWM duty cycle is updated, it is incremented by a fixed 6%. So the fan ramps smoothly to its newly calculated speed. If the temperature starts to drop, the PWM duty cycle immediately decreases by 6% every update. So the fan ramps smoothly up or down without inherent system delay. Consider controlling the same CPU cooler fan (on PWM1) and chassis fan (on PWM2) using Remote 1 temperature. The TMIN and TRANGE settings have already been defined in automatic fan speed control mode, i.e., thermal characterization of the control loop has been optimized. Now the chassis fan is noisier than the CPU cooling fan. So PWM2 can be placed into acoustic enhancement mode independent 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 being controlled by Remote 1 temperature. This is exactly how acoustic enhancement works on the ADM1027.

IS NEW PWM VALUE > PREVIOUS VALUE? Effect of Ramp Rate on Enhanced Acoustics Mode The PWM signal driving the fan will have a period, T, given by the PWM drive frequency, f, since 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 PWM duty cycle. A PWM signal of 33% duty cycle will thus be high for 1/3 3 255 time slots and low for 2/3 3 255 time slots. Therefore, 33% PWM duty cycle corresponds to a signal that is high for 85 time slots and low for 170 time slots. PWM_OUT 33% DUTY CYCLE 85 TIME SLOTS 170 TIME SLOTS PWM OUTPUT (ONE PERIOD) = 255 TIME SLOTS Figure 38. 33% PWM Duty Cycle Represented in Time Slots The ramp rates in enhanced acoustics mode are selectable between 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, and 48. The ramp rates are actually discrete time slots. For example, if the ramp rate = 8, then eight time slots will be 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 will be decreased by eight time slots. Figure 39 shows how the enhanced acoustics mode algorithm operates. DECREMENT PREVIOUS PWM VALUE BY RAMP RATE YES INCREMENT PREVIOUS PWM VALUE BY RAMP RATE Figure 39. Enhanced Acoustics Algorithm 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, then 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, it 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 3 100%. It is important to note that when using the enhanced acoustics mode, the fan spin-up should be disabled. Rev. 3 | Page 37 of 56 | www.onsemi.com REV. A NO -37- ADM1027 Figure 40 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 took approximately 0.76 seconds to go from 33% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle (full speed). It can be seen that even though the temperature increased very rapidly, the fan ramps up to full speed gradually. CHOOSING 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. Each ramp rate's effects should be logged, if possible, to determine the best setting for a given solution.

The overall response of the fan is slower. Since the ramp rate is reduced, it takes longer for the fan to achieve full running speed. In this case, it took approximately 4.4 sec for the fan to reach full speed. 120 140 120 100 Enhanced Acoustics Register 2 (Reg. 0x63) 100 <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 80 80 60 60 40 40 20 20 0 0 <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 Figure 41. Enhanced Acoustics Mode with Ramp Rate = 8 120 Figure 42 shows the behavior of the PWM output as temperature varies. As the temperature rises, the fan speed ramps up. Small drops in temperature will not affect the ramp-up function since the newly calculated fan speed will still be higher than the previous PWM value. The enhanced acoustics mode allows the PWM output to be made less sensitive to temperature variations. This will be dependent on the ramp rate selected and programmed into the enhanced acoustics. 90 120 0 4.4 As can be seen from the preceding examples, the rate at which the fan will react to temperature change is dependent on the ramp rate selected in the enhance acoustics registers. The higher the ramp rate, the faster the fan will reach the newly calculated fan speed. Another way to view the ramp rates is as the time it takes for the PWM output to ramp from 0% to 100% duty cycle for an instantaneous change in temperature. This can be tested by putting the ADM1027 into manual mode and changing the PWM output from 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. The PWM output takes 35 sec to reach 100% with a ramp rate of 1 time slot selected. 140 TIME - sec 90 100 RTEMP (8C) 80 100 80 60 60 60 40 80 70 70 80 POWER DUTY CYCLE (%) PWM DUTY CYCLE RTEMP 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 40 20 20 0 0 TIME - sec 0 0.76 0 0 Figure 40.

A ADM1027 OPERATING FROM 3.3 V STANDBY VID0 The ADM1027 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 will be lowered in these states. VID1 VID2 Note that since other voltages can drop or be turned off during a low power state, these voltage channels will set status bits or generate SMBALERTs. It is still necessary to mask out these channels prior to entering a low power state by using the interrupt mask registers. When exiting the low power state, the mask bits can be cleared. This prevents the device from generating unwanted SMBALERTs during the low power state. XOR TREE TEST MODE VID3 VID4 TACH1 TACH2 The ADM1027 includes an XOR tree test mode. This mode is useful for in-circuit test equipment at board-level testing. By applying stimulus to the pins included in the XOR tree, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the system board. Figure 43 shows the signals that are exercised in the XOR tree test mode. TACH3 TACH4 The XOR tree test is invoked by setting Bit 0 (XEN) of the XOR tree test enable register (Reg. 0x6F).

The number of tach pulses used to count can be changed using the fan pulses per revolution register (Reg. 0x7B). This allows the fan speed to be accurately measured. Since a valid fan tachometer reading requires that two bytes are read; the low byte MUST be read first. Both the low and high bytes are then frozen until read. At power-on, these registers contain 0x0000 until such time as the first valid fan tach measurement is read in to these registers. This prevents false interrupts from occurring while the fans are spinning up. A count of 0xFFFF indicates that a fan is: 1. Stalled or Blocked (object jamming the fan) 2. Failed (internal circuitry destroyed) 3. Not Populated (The ADM1027 expects to see a fan connected to each TACH. If a fan is not connected to that TACH, its TACH minimum high and low bytes should be set to 0xFFFF.) 4. 2-Wire Instead of 3-Wire Fan Rev. 3 | Page 42 of 56 | www.onsemi.com -42- REV.

When in automatic fan speed control mode, the ADM1027 reports the PWM duty cycles back through these registers. The PWM duty cycle values will vary according to temperature in automatic fan speed control mode. During fan startup, these registers report back 0x00. In software mode, the PWM duty cycle outputs can be set to any duty cycle value by writing to these registers. Table IX. Register 0x40 - Configuration Register 1 (Power-On Default = 0x00) Bit Name R/W Description <0> STRT Read/Write Logic 1 enables monitoring and PWM control outputs based on the limit settings programmed. Logic 0 disables monitoring and PWM control based on the default power-up limit settings. Note that the limit values programmed are preserved even if a LOGIC 0 is written to this bit and the default settings are enabled. This bit becomes read-only and cannot be changed once Bit 1 (lock bit) has been written. All limit registers should be programmed by BIOS before setting this bit to 1 (lockable). <1> LOCK Write Once Logic 1 locks all limit values to their current settings. Once this bit is set, all lockable registers become read-only and cannot be modified until the ADM1027 is powered down and powered up again. This prevents rogue programs such as viruses from modifying critical system limit settings (lockable). <2> RDY Read-Only This bit gets set to 1 by the ADM1027 to indicate that the device is fully powered up and ready to begin systems monitoring. <3> FSPD Read/Write When set to 1, this runs all fans at full speed. Power-on default = 0. This bit does not get locked at any time. <4> VI Read/Write BIOS should set this bit to 1 when the ADM1027 is configured to measure current from an ADI ADOPT(R) VRM controller and measure the CPU's core voltage. This will allow monitoring software to display CPU watts usage (lockable). <5> FSPDIS Read/Write Logic 1 disables fan spin-up for two TACH pulses. Instead, the PWM outputs will go high for the entire fan spin-up timeout selected. <6> TODIS Read/Write When this bit is set to 1, the SMBus timeout feature is disabled. This allows the ADM1027 to be used with SMBus controllers that cannot handle SMBus timeouts (lockable). <7> VCC Read/Write When this bit is set to 1, the ADM1027 rescales its VCC pin to measure a 5 V supply. If this bit is 0, the ADM1027 measures VCC as a 3.3 V supply (lockable). Rev. 2 | Page 3 of 56 | www.onsemi.com REV. A -43- ADM1027 Table X.

This bit is a logical OR of all status bits in Status Register 2. Software can test this bit in isolation to determine whether any of the voltage, temperature, or fan speed readings represented by Status Register 2 are out-of-limit.

This is a fail-safe mechanism incorporated to cool the system in the event of a critical overtemperature. It also ensures some level of cooling in the event that software or hardware locks up. If set to 0x80, this feature is disabled. The PWM output will remain at 100% until the temperature drops below THERM limit - 4 C .

Once the temperature for that channel falls below its TMIN value, the fan will remain running at PWMMIN duty cycle until the temperature = TMIN - hysteresis. Up to 15oC of hysteresis may be assigned to any temperature channel. Setting the hysteresis value lower than 4oC will cause the fan to switch on and off regularly when the temperature is close to TMIN.
