GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT7462 is a flexible systems monitor IC, suitable for use
in a wide variety of applications. It can monitor temperature in
up to three remote locations, as well as its ambient temperature.
There are up to four PWM outputs. These can be used to control
the speed of a cooling fan by varying the % duty cycle of the
PWM drive signal applied to the fan. The ADT7462 supports
high frequency PWM for 4-wire fans and low frequency PWM
for 2-wire and 3-wire fans. There are up to eight TACH inputs,
which can be used to measure the speed of 3-wire and 4-wire
fans. There are up to 13 voltage monitoring inputs, ranging
from 12 V to 0.9 V.
The ADT7462 is fully compatible with SMBus 1.1 and SMBus 1.0.
The ADT7462 also includes a THERM I/O and a RESET I/O.
The ADT7462 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP_VQ. Many of the
pins are multifunctional. There are five easy configuration options,
which are set up using the easy configuration register. Users pick
the configuration closest to their requirements; individual pins
can be reconfigured after the easy configuration option has
been chosen.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
EASY CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
There are a number of multifunctional pins on the ADT7462
that need to be configured on power-up to suit the desired
application. Note that due to the large number of pins that need
to be configured, it could take several SMBus transactions to
achieve the required configuration. For this reason, the ADT7462
has five easy configuration options. The user sets a bit in the
easy configuration option register (0x14) to set up the required
configuration (see Table 5).
Table 5. Easy Configuration Register Settings
Easy Configuration Option Register 0x14 Setting
Option 1 Bit 0 = 1
Option 2 Bit 1 = 1
Option 3 Bit 2 = 1
Option 4 Bit 3 = 1
Option 5 Bit 4 = 1
Once the most convenient easy configuration option has been
set, the user can configure any of the pins individually. The
setup complete bit (Bit 5 of Register 0x01) must then be set to 1
to indicate that the ADT7462 is configured correctly, and then
monitoring of the selected channels begins.
The following is a detailed description of the five easy
configuration options that are available.
Configuration Option 1
Configuration Option 1 is the default configuration. It is also
the most suitable for thermal monitoring, voltage monitoring,
and fan control for single and dual processor systems.
Features of Configuration Option 1 include the following:
One local and three remote temperature channels
Four PWM drives and eight TACH inputs
Two THERM I/Os
Voltage monitoring
+3.3V
+2.5V
+1.8V
VBATT
RESET I/O
CI (chassis intrusion) or FAN2MAX

SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The ADT7462 is controlled through use of the serial system
management bus (SMBus). The ADT7462 is connected to this
bus as a slave device, under the control of a master controller.
The SMBus interface in the ADT7462 is fully SMBus 1.1- and
SMBus 1.0-compliant. The SMBus address is determined by the
state of the ADD input on power-up.
ADD INPUT
The ADD pin is a three-state input to the ADT7462. It is used
to determine the SMBus address used. This pin is sampled on
power-up only. Any changes subsequent to power-up are not
reflected until the ADT7462 is powered down and back up
again. The corresponding 7-bit SMBus address for the state of
the ADD pin is shown in Table 11.
Table 11. Corresponding SMBus Addresses for ADD Input
ADD Pin SMBus Version SMBus Address
High N/A N/A
Float SMBus 1.1 0x5C
Low SMBus 1.1 0x58
SMBUS FIXED ADDRESS
The ADT7462 supports SMBus fixed address mode and is fully
backwards-compatible with SMBus 1.1 and SMBus 1.0. The
ADT7462 powers up with a fixed SMBus address that cannot be
changed by the assign address call. The fixed address is set by the
state of the ADD input pin on power-up.
SMBUS OPERATION
The SMBus specification defines specific conditions for different
types of read and write operations. The general SMBus protocol
operates as follows:
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start condi-
tion, 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 follows. 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 an R/W bit, which determines
the direction of the data transfer, that is, whether data is
written to or read from the slave device.
2. The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the
low period before the 9th clock pulse, known as the
acknowledge bit. All other devices on the bus remain idle
while the selected device waits for data to be read from it or
written to it. If the R/W bit = 0, the master writes to the
slave device. If the R/W bit = 1, the master reads from the
slave device.
3. 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, because a low-to-high
transition when the clock is high can 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.
4. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop
conditions are established. In write mode, the master releases
the data line during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop
condition. In read mode, the master device overrides the
acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high during the
low period before the 9th clock pulse. This is known as a
No Acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low
during the low period before the 10th clock pulse and then
takes it high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop
condition.
Any number of bytes of data can be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write
in one operation because the type of operation is determined at
the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without
starting a new operation.
For the ADT7462, write operations contain either one or two
bytes, and read operations contain one byte. To write data to
one of the device data registers or read data from it, the address
pointer register must be set so that the correct data register is
addressed. Then data can be written into that register or read
from it. The first byte of a write operation always contains an
address that is stored in the address pointer register. If data is to
be written to the device, the write operation contains a second
data byte that is written to the register selected by the address
pointer register.
This write operation is shown in Figure 25. The device address
is sent over the bus, and then R/W is set to 0. This is followed
by two data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the
internal data register to be written to, which is stored in the
address pointer register. The second data byte is the data to be
written to the internal data register.

When reading data from a register, there are two possibilities.
• If the ADT7462’s address pointer register value is
unknown or not the desired value, it must be set to the
correct value before data can be read from the desired data
register. This is done by performing a write to the ADT7462
as before, but only the data byte containing the register
address is sent because no data is written to the register
(see Figure 26).
A read operation is then performed, consisting of the serial
bus address and the R/W bit set to 1, followed by the data
byte read from the data register (see Figure 27).
• 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 (see Figure 27).
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.
In addition to supporting the send byte and receive byte
protocols, the ADT7462 also supports the read byte protocol
(see System Management Bus Specifications Rev. 2.0 for more
information).
If several read or write operations must be performed in
succession, then 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 different
types of read and write operations. The ones used in the ADT7462
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 ADT7462 uses the following SMBus write protocols.
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 an ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and the
transaction ends.
For the ADT7462, 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 shown in Figure 28.

condition.
Write Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and
one data byte to the slave device as follows:

Block Write
In this operation, the master device writes a block of data to a
slave device. The start address for a block write must have been
set previously. In the case of the ADT7462, this is done by a
send byte operation to set a RAM address. The user writes the
number of registers to be written to in the block read command
to the #Bytes bits of the Configuration 0 register.

2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

device to expect a block write. The ADT7462 command
code for a block write is 0xA0 (1010 0000).
5. The slave asserts ACK on the SDA.
6. The master sends the data bytes (the number of data bytes
sent is written to the #Bytes bits of the Configuration 0
register).
7. The slave asserts an ACK on the SDA after each data byte.
8. The master sends a packet error checking (PEC) byte.

if correct. If incorrect (NO ACK), the master resends the
data bytes.

READ OPERATIONS
The ADT7462 uses the following SMBus read protocols.
Receive Byte
The receive byte 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 an ACK on SDA.
4. The master receives a data byte.
5. The master asserts a NO ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
transaction ends.
In the ADT7462, 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.

Block Read
In this operation, the master device reads a block of data from
a slave device. The start address for a block read must have been
set previously, as well as the number of bytes to be read
(maximum = 32). In the case of the ADT7462, the start address
is activated by a send byte operation to set a RAM address. The
number of bytes to be read should be written to the #Bytes bits
in the Configuration 0 register. The block read operation
consists of a send byte operation that sends a block read
command to the slave, immediately followed by a repeated start
and a read operation that reads out multiple data bytes, as
follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on the SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an ACK on the SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block read. The ADT7462 command
code for a block read is 0xA1 (1010 0001).
5. The slave asserts an ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a repeat start condition on the SDA.
7. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

8. The slave asserts an ACK on the SDA.
9. The ADT7462 sends a byte count telling the master how
many data bytes to expect. The maximum number of bytes
is 32.
10. The master asserts an ACK on SDA.
11. The master receives the expected number of data bytes.
12. The master asserts an ACK on SDA after each data byte.
13. The ADT7462 issues a PEC byte to the master. The master
should check the PEC byte and issue another block read if
the PEC byte is incorrect.
14. A NO ACK is generated after the PEC byte to signal the
end of the read.
15. The master asserts a stop condition on the SDA to end the
transaction.

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
procedure occurs:
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.
2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the alert
response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call
address that must not be used as a specific device address.
3. The device whose SMBALERT output is low responds to
the alert response address, and the master reads its device
address. The address of the device is now known and 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 has priority in
accordance with normal SMBus arbitration.
5. Once the ADT7462 has responded to the alert response
address, the master must read the status registers, and
the SMBALERT is cleared only if the error condition has
gone away.
SMBUS TIMEOUT
The ADT7462 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If there is no
SMBus activity for 25 ms, the ADT7462 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.
Configuration Register 3 (0x03)
Bit 1 SCL_Timeout = 1; SCL timeout enabled.
Bit 1 SCL_Timeout = 0; SCL timeout disabled (default).
Bit 2 SDA_Timeout = 1; SDA timeout enabled.
Bit 2 SDA_Timeout = 0; SDA timeout disabled (default).

TEMPERATURE AND VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The ADT7462 can measure its own ambient temperature and
the temperature of up to three remote thermal diodes. These
diodes can be discrete diode-connected 2N3904/6s or can be
located on a processor die. Figure 33 shows how to connect a
remote NPN or PNP transistor.

Remote Thermal Diode 1 connects to Pin 15 and Pin 16.
Remote Thermal Diode 2 connects to Pin 17 and Pin 18.
Remote Thermal Diode 3 connects to Pin 19 and Pin 20.
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit the
negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring the base-
emitter voltage (VBE) of a transistor, operated at constant
current. Unfortunately, this technique requires calibration to
null out the effect of the absolute value of VBE, which varies
from device to device.
The technique used in the ADT7462 is to measure the change
in VBE when the device is operated at three different currents.
Previous devices have used only two operating currents;
use of a third current allows automatic cancellation of any
resistances in series with the external temperature sensor.
Figure 34 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure
the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows
the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but it could equally
be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor is used, the
collector is not grounded and should be linked to the base. 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. C1 can optionally be added as a noise filter
(recommended maximum value 1000 pF). However, a better
option in noisy environments is to add a filter, as described in
the Noise Filtering section.
To measure ∆VBE, the operating current through the sensor is
switched among three related currents. As shown in Figure 34,
N1 × I and N2 × I are different multiples of the Current I. The
currents through the temperature diode are switched between I
and N1 × I, giving ∆VBE1, and then between I and N2 × I, giving
∆VBE2. The temperature can then be calculated using the two
∆VBE measurements. This method can also be shown to cancel
the effect of any series resistance on the temperature
measurement.
The resulting ∆VBE waveforms are passed through a 65 kHz
low-pass filter to remove noise and then to a chopper-stabilized
amplifier. This amplifies and rectifies the waveform to produce
a dc voltage proportional to ∆VBE. The ADC digitizes this
voltage, and a temperature measurement is produced. To reduce
the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging
the results of 16 measurement cycles for low conversion rates.
Signal conditioning and measurement of the internal
temperature sensor are performed in the same manner.

Temperature Measurement Results
The results of the local and remote temperature measurements
are stored in the local and remote temperature value registers
and are compared with limits programmed into the local and
remote high and low limit registers.

Local Temperature, LSB Register 0x88, Bits [7:6]

Remote 2 Temperature, MSB Register 0x8D
Remote 3 Temperature, LSB Register 0x8E, Bits [7:6]
Remote 3 Temperature, MSB Register 0x8F
The temperature value is stored in two registers. The MSB has a
resolution of 1°C. Only two bits in the temperature LSB register
are used, Bit 7 and Bit 6, giving a temperature measurement a
resolution of 0.25°C. The temperature measurement range for
both local and remote measurements is from −64°C to +191°C.
However, the ADT7462 itself should never be operated outside
its operating temperature range, which is from −40°C to +125°C.
For the remote diode, the user should refer to the data sheet of
the diode.

When reading the full temperature value, the LSB should be
read first and then the MSB. Reading the LSBs causes the
current MSBs to be frozen until they are read. Reading the
MSBs only does not cause any register to be locked. This is
useful when a temperature reading with 1°C resolution is
required.
SERIES RESISTANCE CANCELLATION
Parasitic resistance in series with the remote diode D+ and D−
inputs can be caused by a variety of factors, including PCB track
resistance and track length. This series resistance appears as a
temperature offset in the remote sensor’s temperature measure-
ment. This error typically causes a 0.8°C offset per ohm of
parasitic resistance in series with the remote diode.
The ADT7462 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 ADT7462 is designed to automatically cancel
typically up to 2 kΩ of resistance. By using an advanced
temperature measurement method, the process is transparent to
the user. This feature also allows an RCR filter to be added to
the sensor path, allowing the part to be used accurately in noisy
environments.
Temperature Limits
Each temperature measurement channel has a high and low
temperature limit associated with it. The temperature measure-
ments are compared with these limits, and the results of these
comparisons are stored in status registers. A Logic 0 indicates
an in-limit comparison, and a Logic 1 indicates an out-of-limit
comparison. The ADT7462 can generate an ALERT, if configured
to do so, once a status bit is set. For more information on the
status registers and ALERT, see the Status and Mask Registers
and ALERT section of this datasheet.
Each temperature channel also has a THERM1 and a THERM2
temperature limit associated with it. Once these temperature
limits are exceeded, the corresponding THERM pin is asserted
low (if THERM is configured as an output), and the fans are
boosted to full speed (if the boost bit is set). Table 14 shows
a complete list of all the temperature limits and their default
values.

Offset Registers
The ADT7462 has temperature offset registers at Register 0x56
to Register 0x59 for the local, Remote 1, Remote 2, and Remote 3
temperature channels. By doing 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 0x56 Local Temperature Offset = 0x00 (0°C default)

Layout Considerations
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments. The
ADT7462 measures very small voltages from the remote sensor,
so care must be taken to minimize noise induced at the sensor
inputs. The following precautions should be taken:
Place the ADT7462 as close as possible to the remote sensing
diode. Provided that the worst noise sources, such as clock
generators, data/address buses, and CRTs, are avoided, this
distance can be 4 inches to 8 inches.
Route the D+ and D− tracks close together, in parallel, with
grounded guard tracks on each side. To minimize inductance
and reduce noise pick-up, a 5 mil track width and spacing is
recommended. If possible, provide a ground plane under the
tracks.

Figure 35. Typical Arrangement of Signal Tracks
Minimize the number of copper/solder joints that 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.
• Thermocouple effects should not be a major problem because
1°C corresponds to about 200 mV, and thermocouple voltages
are about 3 mV/°C of temperature difference. Unless there
are two thermocouples with a big temperature differential
between them, thermocouple voltages should be much less
than 200 mV.
Place a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to the VDD pin. In
extremely noisy environments, an input filter capacitor can
be placed across D+ and D− close to the ADT7462. This
capacitance can affect the temperature measurement, so care
must be taken to ensure that any capacitance seen at D+ and
D− is a maximum of 1000 pF.
This maximum value includes the filter capacitance, plus any
cable or stray capacitance between the pins and the sensor diode.
If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches, the
use of twisted pair cable is recommended. This works up to
about 6 feet to 12 feet.
For really long distances (up to 100 feet), use shielded twisted
pair, such as Belden No. 8451 microphone cable. Connect the
twisted pair to D+ and D− and the shield to GND close to the
ADT7462. Leave the remote end of the shield unconnected to
avoid ground loops.
• Because the measurement technique uses switched current
sources, excessive cable or filter capacitance can affect the
measurement. When using long cables, the filter capacitance
can be reduced or removed.
Noise Filtering
For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments, the
industry-standard practice is to place a capacitor across the D+
and D− pins to help combat the effects of noise. However, large
capacitances affect the accuracy of the temperature
measurement, leading to a recommended maximum capacitor
value of 1000 pF. While this capacitor does reduce the noise,
it does not eliminate it, making it difficult to use the sensor in
a very noisy environment.
The ADT7462 has a major advantage over other devices when it
comes to eliminating the effects of noise on the external sensor.
The series resistance cancellation feature allows a filter to be
constructed between the external temperature sensor and the
device. The effect of any filter resistance seen in series with the
remote sensor is automatically cancelled from the temperature
result.
The construction of a filter allows the ADT7462 and the remote
temperature sensor to operate in noisy environments. Figure 36
shows a low-pass RCR filter, with the following values:
R = 100 Ω
C = 1 nF
This filtering reduces both common-mode noise and
differential noise.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
The ADT7462 is capable of measuring up to 13 different voltage
inputs at one time. Table 15 is a list of the voltage measurement
inputs and the corresponding input pins. Each pin can be
configured to measure the desired voltage option using Pin
Configuration 1 (0x10) to Pin Configuration 4 (0x13) or the

Input Circuit
The internal structure for the voltage inputs is shown in Figure 37.
Each input circuit consists of an input protection diode; an
attenuator; plus a capacitor to form a first-order, low-pass filter
that gives the input immunity to high frequency noise.
Voltages with full-scale values greater than the reference are
divided down so that the full-scale value equals the reference
(2.25 V). All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip,
successive approximation ADC. This ADC has a resolution of
ten bits. The basic input range is from 0 V to 2.25 V, but the
inputs have built-in attenuators to allow measurement of larger
and smaller voltages. To allow a tolerance for these voltages, the
ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale (decimal 768 or
0x300) for the nominal input voltage and so has enough
headroom to cope with overvoltages.

Voltage Measurement and Limit Registers
The corresponding register locations for voltage measurements
are listed in Table 17. Each voltage measurement channel has a
high and low voltage limit associated with it. The voltage
measurements are compared with these limits. The results of
these comparisons are stored in status registers. A Logic 0
indicates an in-limit condition, and a Logic 1 indicates an out-
of-limit condition. The ADT7462 can generate an ALERT, if
configured to do so, once a status bit is set. For more
information on the status registers and ALERT, see the Status
and Mask Registers and ALERT section of this datasheet. A
complete list of all the high and low voltage limits in the
ADT7462 and their default values is contained in Table 17.

BATTERY MEASUREMENT INPUT (VBATT)
The VBATT input allows the condition of a CMOS backup battery
to be monitored. This is typically a lithium coin cell, such as a
CR2032. The VBATT input is accurate only for voltages greater
than 1.2 V. Note that when Pin 26 is configured as a +1.2V
input, voltages lower than 1.2 V are not accurately measured.
Input voltage and corresponding voltage measured are shown in
Figure 22. Typically, the battery in a system is required to keep
some devices powered on when the system is in a powered-off
state. The VBATT measurement input is designed to minimize
battery drain. To reduce current drain from the battery, the
lower resistor of the VBATT attenuator is not connected, except
when a VBATT measurement is being made. The total current
drain on the VBATT pin is 80 nA typical (for a maximum VBATT
voltage = 4 V), so a CR2032 CMOS battery functions in a
system in excess of the expected 10 years. Note that when a
VBATT measurement is not being made, the current drain is
reduced to 6 nA typical. Under normal voltage measurement
operating conditions, all measurements are made in a round-
robin format, and each reading is actually the result of 16
digitally averaged measurements. However, averaging is not
carried out on the VBATT measurement to reduce measurement
time and, therefore, reduce the current drain from the battery.
The VBATT current drain when a measurement is being made is
calculated by
PERIOD
PULSE
BATT T
T
V
I×= kΩ100
where:
TPULSE is VBATT measurement time (~711 µs typical).
TPERIOD is the time required to measure all analog inputs.
Monitoring cycle time depends on the ADT7462 configuration.
Calculating the monitoring cycle time is described in more
detail in the ADC Information section.
VBATT Input Battery Protection
In addition to minimizing battery current drain, the VBATT
measurement circuitry is specifically designed with battery
protection in mind. Internal circuitry prevents the battery from
being back-biased by the ADT7462 supply or through any other
path under normal operating conditions. In the unlikely event
of a catastrophic ADT7462 failure, the ADT7462 includes a
second level of battery protection, including a series 3 kΩ
resistor to limit current to the battery, as recommended by UL.
Thus, it is not necessary to add a series resistor between the
battery and the VBATT input; the battery can be connected
directly to the VBATT input to improve voltage measurement
accuracy.

ADC INFORMATION
Round Robin
Both temperature and voltage measurements are analog inputs
that are digitized using the on-board ADC. An internal
multiplexer switches between the different analog inputs and
digitizes them, in turn, in a round-robin manner. The total
conversion time depends upon how the ADT7462 is configured.
The conversion times for each measurement channel are shown
in Table 18. The complete conversion time is the sum of the time
for the voltage and temperature measurements.
For example, if the ADT7462 is configured as Easy Configuration
Option 1, the round-robin conversion time is calculated as follows:
Total Conversion Time = 1 × (Local Conversion Time) + 3 ×
(Remote Conversion Time) + 4 × (Voltage Measurement Time).
The TACH is not measured using the ADC and so is not part of
the round-robin monitoring cycle.
Table 18. Measurement Channel Conversion Times
Channel Conversion Time
Local Temperature 9.01 ms
Remote Temperature 38.36 ms
Voltage 8.53 ms
For each ADC temperature and voltage measurement read from
their value registers, 16 readings have actually been made
internally and the results averaged before being placed in the
value register.
Bypass Voltage Attenuators
There are up to 13 voltage measurement channels on the
ADT7462. Each of these voltage measurement channels has an
input structure (see Figure 37 for input structures for each of
the voltage channels). Because the ADC has a voltage input
range from 0 V to 2.25 V, these input circuits attenuate the
voltage input using a resistor divider network to match the
input range of the ADC. However, the user may occasionally
want to remove the attenuators and directly apply a voltage of
between 0 V and 2.25 V to the ADC. These attenuators can be
disabled by setting relevant bits in the voltage attenuator
configuration registers. This feature also allows the user to
rescale the voltage inputs using an external attenuator circuit.
However, when the attenuators are disabled, the user should
ensure that the voltage on the pin never exceeds 2.25 V.
Table 19. Voltage Attenuator Configuration Registers

Single-Channel ADC Conversions
Setting Bit 2 of the EDO/single-channel enable register (0x16)
places the ADT7462 into single-channel mode. In this mode the
ADT7462 can be made to convert on a single voltage or
temperature channel only. The channel to be converted on is
selected by writing to Bits [7:3] of the EDO/single-channel
enable register (0x16). When the device is in single-channel
mode, the pin configuration option should not be changed.
Note that when the Pin 26 voltage, which includes the VBATT
option, is selected in single-channel mode, this means that
voltage measurements are continuously made in the mode.
If a battery is connected to this input, then this results in an
excessive current drain on the battery. The specification of >10
years of battery life is valid only when the battery voltage is meas-
ured as part of the round robin and not in single-channel mode.

DYNAMIC VID MONITORING
VID CODE
The ADT7462 can be configured to monitor up to seven VID
inputs. The VID code is output on seven lines from the CPU
to tell the power controller what input voltage it requires. The
ADT7462 can monitor the VID code and the voltage applied to
the CPU to ensure that they match within an acceptable range.
This acceptable range is programmable in the ADT7462.
The VID lines are monitored by the ADT7462, and the VID
code is stored in the VID value register (0x97), which can be
read back over the SMBus.
VID monitoring is enabled by setting Bit 7 (VIDs) of Pin
Configuration Register 1 (0x10) to 1. See Table 21 and Table 22
for information on which pin should be connected to each VID
line. When VID monitoring is enabled, all seven pins are
automatically configured as VID inputs. It is not possible to select
six pins as VID inputs and use the remaining pin as their
alternate functions.
VID Value Register (0x97)
Bit 0 = VID0 (reflects the logic state of Pin 1)
Bit 1 = VID1 (reflects the logic state of Pin 2)
Bit 2 = VID2 (reflects the logic state of Pin 3)
Bit 3 = VID3 (reflects the logic state of Pin 4)
Bit 4 = VID4 (reflects the logic state of Pin 31)
Bit 5 = VID5 (reflects the logic state of Pin 32)
Bit 6 = VID6 (reflects the logic state of Pin 28)
The ADT7462 supports both the VR10 and the VR11 specifica-
tions. The default option supports the VR10 specification.
To switch to the VR11 specification, set Bit 6 of Configuration
Register 0 (0x00) to 1. VR11 is defined as eight bits; the ADT7462
monitors only seven VID lines (see Table 21).

VID4 31 100 mV
VID3 4 50 mV
VID2 3 25 mV
VID1 2 12.5 mV
VID0 1 6.25 mV
VR10 requires only six VID lines (see Table 22). Pin 28 should
be connected to ground when monitoring VR10 VID codes.
VID6 reports a 0.

DYNAMIC VID MONITORING
The ADT7462 supports dynamic VID monitoring. The purpose
of the VID code is to tell the voltage controller what voltage,
VCCP, should be applied to the CPU. The VCCP voltage applied to
the processor changes as the power requirements of the
processor change. The VID is compared with VCCP1 only. Note
that when the VIDs are enabled, the LSB value for VCCP1
becomes 0.0125 V (see Tabl e 16).
The VID values can represent voltages from 0.8375 V to 1.6 V.
The VID code is sampled by the ADT7462 every 11 s and is
stored in Register 0x97. Once the VID code has been stable
(that is, does not change) for 55 s, the measured VCCP is then
compared with the VID code. The comparison table used is
for either the VR10 or the VR11 specification (set by Bit 6 of
Register 0x00). If the VID code and the measured VCCP do not
match within a certain limit, then an ALERT is generated.
The VID value decoded and the VCCP measurement must be
within a window controlled by the VID high and low limits.
The VID is compared with VCCP1 only. Register 0x78 holds
the 4-bit VID high and low limits. The high limit has a range
of 0 mV to +375 mV with a resolution of 25 mV (four bits). The
low limit has a range of 0 mV to −187.5 mV with resolution of
12.5 mV (four bits). The high limit is used in a greater-than
comparison, and the low limit is used in a less-than or equal-to
comparison. Note that if both limits are set to 0x00, then
because low limit is less than or equal to comparison, an
ALERT always results. Therefore, the minimum value for low
limit is 0x01.
If the VCCP voltage measured and the VID code do not match to
within the programmed limit, then Status Bit 6 of the digital
status register gets set (Register 0xBE). This, in turn, can
generate an ALERT if it is not masked.
ADT7462
Rev. 0 | Page 31 of 92
Example:
VID high limit: 100 mV (Register 0x78), four MSBs set to 0100.
VID low limit: 50 mV (Register 0x78), four LSBs set to 0100.
VID value equates to 1.1 V. This is the read VID decoded, using
either VR10 or VR11 tables.
VCCP1 must be in the window of 1.05 V to 1.2 V. If the VCCP1
value is outside this window, the status bit is set and an ALERT
is generated.
To clear an ALERT generated in this way, read the digital status
register. If the VID code and VCCP are now matching within the
programmed window (that is, the error condition that caused
the ALERT has gone away), then the status bit is reset and so is
the ALERT.
The VID to VCCP voltage tables for both VR10 and VR11 can be
found on the Intel website. See the VRM and EVRD 10.0 Design
Guidelines (Reg. 0.5), Page 18 and Page 19, for additional
information.

STATUS AND MASK REGISTERS AND ALERT
Status Registers
Each measured temperature and voltage has an associated high
and low limit. The measured values are compared with these
programmable limits. The results of these comparisons are
stored in the status registers. A Logic 0 in the status register
represents an in-limit comparison, while a Logic 1 represents an
out-of-limit comparison.
Once a status bit is set, it remains set until the status register is
read by the SMBus master. Once read, the status bit clears if the
error condition has gone away. The status registers are duplicated
to accommodate situations where there are two SMBus masters.
If one master reads the host status registers and consequently
clears them, the second master has no way of knowing what bits
were set and what bits were cleared. The second SMBus master
can read from the duplicate BMC status registers for what status
bits were set.
Table 23 is a list of the status registers and corresponding
addresses.

Fan Status Register 1 0xBD 0xC5
Digital Status Register 1 0xBE 0xC6
GPIO Status Register 0xBF
ALERT Output
The ADT7462 has an SMBus ALERT output that is asserted
when one of the status bits gets set. This is to alert the master
that an out-of-limit measurement has taken place or that there
is a fault on one of the fan channels.
An ALERT is generated as a result of a status bit being set in any
of the registers.

Figure 39. ALERT and Status Bit Behavior
Figure 39 shows how the ALERT 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 goes
away and the 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 ALERT output
remains low for the entire duration that a reading is out-of-limit
and until the status register has been read.
Mask Registers
The user has the option to mask out any of the individual status
bits that generate an ALERT. This is achieved by setting the
appropriate bit in the mask registers. The ALERT output is not
asserted on the setting of a status bit if it has been masked. The
status bit itself is not affected and continues to be set when an
out-of-limit condition exists.

addresses.

FAN CONTROL
FAN DRIVE USING PWM CONTROL
The ADT7462 uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to control
fan speed. Control relies on varying the duty cycle (or on/off
ratio) of a square wave applied to the fan to vary the fan speed.
The advantage of using PWM control is that it uses a very
simple external circuit. The specific circuit used depends upon
the type of fan.
There are three main fan types in use: 2-wire fans, 3-wire fans,
and 4-wire fans. The 2-wire fan has only power and ground
connections. The 3-wire fan has power and ground connections
and a TACH output to indicate the speed of the fan. The 4-wire
fan has power and ground connections, a TACH output, and a
PWM input. The PWM input is connected directly to the PWM
drive of the ADT7462 and is used to control the speed of the
fans.
For 2-wire and 3-wire fans, the low frequency PWM drive
signal should be selected. For 4-wire fans, the high frequency
PWM drive signal should be selected.
Using the ADT7462 with 2-Wire Fans
Figure 40 shows the most typical circuit used with a 2-wire
fan and illustrates how a 2-wire fan can be connected to the
ADT7462. The low frequency PWM mode must be selected
when using a 2-wire fan.

Figure 41. Driving a 3-Wire Fan
The external circuitry required is very simple. A MOSFET, such
as the NDT3055L, is used as the pass device. The specifications
of the MOSFET depend on the maximum current required by
the fan being driven. A typical PC fan can draw a nominal
current ranging from a few hundred milliamps to over an amp
of current. Depending on the current rating of the fan, a SOT
device can be used where board space is a concern. 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
should have a gate voltage drive, VGS < 3.3 V, for direct interfac-
ing to the PWM pins. 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, which would reduce the voltage
applied across the fan and reduce the full speed of the fan.
Figure 41 uses a 10 kΩ pull-up 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 5 V maximum to prevent damaging the ADT7462. If in
doubt as to whether the fan used has an open-collector or
totem-pole TACH output, use one of the input signal
conditioning circuits shown in the Fan Speed Measurement
section of the data sheet.
Driving a 3-wire fan with a PWM signal makes the fan speed
measurement more difficult because the TACH signal is
chopped by the PWM drive signal. Pulse stretching is required
in this case to make accurate fan speed measurements. For
more information, see the Fan Speed Measurement section.

Figure 42. Driving a 4-Wire Fan
Because the electronics in a 4-wire fan are powered continuously,
unlike previous PWM driven/powered fans, 4-wire fans tend to
perform better than 3-wire fans, especially for high frequency
applications. It also eliminates the requirement for pulse
stretching, because the TACH signal is always available.
Driving Two Fans from Each PWM
Note that the ADT7462 has up to eight TACH inputs available
for fan speed measurement, but only four PWM drive outputs.
If all eight fans are being used in the system, two fans should be
driven in parallel from each PWM output. Figure 43 shows how
to drive two fans in parallel using the NDT3055L MOSFET.
This information is relevant for low frequency mode only
(2-wire and 3-wire fans), because the PWM and TACHs need to
be synchronized to obtain accurate fan speed measurements
using pulse stretching (see the Fan Speed Measurement with
Pulse Stretching section). In high frequency mode and when
using 4-wire fans, the TACH signal is always valid because the
fan is always powered on.
Note that 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 that the PWM pins are not
required to source current and that they sink less than the 8 mA
maximum current specified on the data sheet.

FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL
TACH INPUTS
Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 3, Pin 4, Pin 7, Pin 8, Pin 21, and Pin 22 are
TACH inputs intended for fan speed measurement.
Signal conditioning in the ADT7462 accommodates the slow
rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The maxi-
mum 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.
Figure 44 to Figure 47 show circuits for most common fan
TACH circuits.
If the fan TACH output has a resistive pull-up to VCC, it can be
connected directly to the fan input, as shown in Figure 44.

If the fan output has a resistive pull-up to 12 V (or other voltage

diode, as shown in Figure 45. The Zener diode voltage should
be chosen so that it is greater than VIH of the TACH input but
less than 5 V, allowing for the voltage tolerance of the Zener. A
value of between 3 V and 5 V is suitable.

If the fan has a strong pull-up (less than 1 kΩ) to 12 V or a
totem-pole output, a series resistor can be added to limit the
Zener current, as shown in Figure 46. Alternatively, a resistive
attenuator can be used, as shown in Figure 47. 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 k to
ground, so this should be taken into account when calculating
resistor values.
With a pull-up voltage of 12 V and a pull-up resistor of less than
1 kΩ, suitable values for R1 and R2 would be 100 kΩ and 47 kΩ.

FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT
The method of fan speed measurement when using 3-wire fans
differs from that used with 4-wire fans. When 3-wire fans are in
use, power is continuously applied and removed from the fan,
thereby chopping the TACH information. As a result, every time
a fan speed measurement is to be made, the fan must be switched
on for a long enough period of time that a measurement can be
made. This is called pulse stretching. With 4-wire fans, power is
always applied to the fan, so fan speed measurements can be
made continuously, and there is no need for pulse stretching.
Pulse stretching is also not necessary when driving a 3-wire fan
with a dc input. The Fan Speed Measurement Without Pulse
Stretching section and the Fan Speed Measurement with Pulse
Stretching section describe how fan speed is measured both
when pulse stretching is required and when it is not.

Fan Speed Measurement Without Pulse Stretching
Fan speed is measured by the ADT7462, and the result is stored
in the fan TACH value registers. The fan counter does not count
the fan TACH output pulses directly because the fan speed can
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 TACH output (see Figure 48), so the accumulated count
is actually proportional to the fan tachometer period and inversely
proportional to the fan speed.
To enable continuous measurement for 3-wire fans, set the
corresponding dc bit for the TACH input in the TACH configu-
ration register. This bit is set automatically when the HF PWM
is in use with 4-wire fans.
Fan Speed Measurement with Pulse Stretching
The method for measuring fan speed for 3-wire fans requiring
pulse stretching is similar to the method described in the Fan
Speed Measurement Without Pulse Stretching section for
continuous measurements. The main difference is that the PWM
drive must be synchronized to the TACH input so that the
ADT7462 knows that pulse stretching is taking place while the
TACH is being measured.
PWM1 is synchronized with TACH1 and TACH5.
PWM2 is synchronized with TACH2 and TACH6.
PWM3 is synchronized with TACH3 and TACH7.
PWM4 is synchronized with TACH4 and TACH8.
When pulse stretching is enabled, the ADT7462 measures fan
speed once a second. The counter then counts up from the first
to the third TACH pulse; this value is stored in the TACH value
register. The PWM drive returns to its previous programmed value.
To enable fan speed measurements four times a second, set the
FAST bit (Bit 0) of Configuration Register 2 (0x02). When the
FAST bit is set, fan TACH readings are updated every 250 ms.

Fan Speed Measurement Registers
Fan speed measurement 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, preventing erroneous TACH readings. The fan
tachometer reading registers report back the number of 11.11 µs
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 (because two pulses per
revolution are being counted). Because the device is essentially
measuring the fan TACH period, the higher the count value the
slower the fan is actually running. A 16-bit fan tachometer
reading of 0xFFFF indicates either that the fan has stalled or is
running very slowly (<100 rpm).
The actual fan TACH period is being measured; therefore, an
ALERT is generated if the reading falls below a fan TACH limit.
This sets the appropriate status bit and can be used to generate
an SMBALERT. The TACH limit is an 8-bit value that is
compared with the TACH high byte of the TACH reading.

Calculating Fan Speed
Assuming a fan with a two pulses/revolution (and two
pulses/revolution being measured), fan speed is calculated by
Fan Speed (rpm) = (freq × 60)/Fan Tachometer Reading
where:
Fan Tachometer Reading = a 16-bit fan tachometer reading.
freq = oscillator frequency, 90 kHz.
Example:
TACH1 high byte (Register 0x99) = 0x17
TACH1 low byte (Register 0x98) = 0xFF
What is the speed of Fan 1 in rpm?
Fan 1 Tachometer Reading = 0 × 17 FF = 6143 Decimal
RPM = (f × 60)/Fan 1 Tachometer Reading
RPM = (90000 × 60)/6143
Fan Speed = 879 rpm
ADT7462
Rev. 0 | Page 37 of 92
If the fan is a 6-pole fan, the count value is representative of 2/3
of a revolution. Therefore, the result of the equation above
should be divided by 1.5. Similarly, if the fan used is an
8-pole fan, then the result should be divided by 2.
Fan Spin-Up
The ADT7462 has a unique fan spin-up function. It spins the
fan at 100% PWM duty cycle until two TACH pulses are detected
on the TACH input. Once two TACH pulses have been detected,
the PWM duty cycle goes to the expected running value, for
example, 33%. The advantage of this process is that fans have
different spin-up characteristics and take different times to
overcome inertia. The ADT7462 runs the fans just fast enough
to overcome inertia and is quieter on spin-up than fans
programmed to spin up for a given spin-up time.
Fan Start-Up Timeout
To prevent false interrupts being generated as a fan spins up
(because it is below running speed), the ADT7462 includes a
fan start-up timeout function. During this time, the ADT7462
looks for two TACH pulses. If two TACH pulses are not
detected, an interrupt is generated. Using Configuration
Register 1 (0x01), Bit 4, this functionality can be changed to
spinning the fans for a programmable time instead of two
TACH pulses.
The start-up timeout for each PWM drive is programmed by
Bits [2:0] in the PWMx configuration registers.
PWM1 Configuration Register = Register 0x21
PWM2 Configuration Register = Register 0x22
PWM3 Configuration Register = Register 0x23
PWM4 Configuration Register = Register 0x24

PWM LOGIC STATE
The PWM outputs can be programmed high for 100% duty
cycle (non-inverted) or low for 100% duty cycle (inverted). This
is programmed for each PWM drive in the PWMx Configuration
Registers using the INV bit (Bit 4).
0 = logic low for 100% PWM duty cycle.
1 = logic high for 100% PWM duty cycle.
Low Frequency Mode PWM Drive Frequency
The PWM drive frequency can be adjusted for the application.
The ADT7462 supports both high frequency and low frequency
PWM. High or low frequency PWM mode is selected in
Register 0x02, Bit 2. In high frequency mode, the PWM drive
frequency is always 22.5 kHz and cannot be changed. Register 0x25
and Register 0x26 configure the PWM frequency in low fre-
quency mode for PWM1 to PWM4, respectively.
PWM Drive Frequency 1 is set using Bits [4:2] of the PWM1
and PWM2 frequency register (0x25).
PWM Drive Frequency 2 is set using Bits [7:5] of the PWM1
and PWM2 frequency register (0x25).
PWM Drive Frequency 3 is set using Bits [4:2] of the PWM3
and PWM4 frequency register (0x26).
PWM Drive Frequency 4 is set using Bits [7:5] of the PWM3
and PWM4 frequency register (0x26).

FAN SPEED CONTROL
The ADT7462 controls fan speed using two different modes:
automatic and manual.
In automatic fan speed control mode, fan speed is automatically
varied with temperature and without CPU intervention, once
initial parameters are set up. The advantage is that if the system
hangs, it is guaranteed that the system is protected from
overheating. The automatic fan speed control incorporates a
feature called dynamic TMIN calibration. This feature reduces the
design effort required to program the automatic fan speed
control loop. For more information on how to program the
automatic fan speed control loop and dynamic TMIN operation,
see the Programming the Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop
section.
In manual fan speed control mode, the ADT7462 allows the
duty cycle of any PWM output to be manually adjusted. This is
useful if the user wants to change fan speed in the software or
adjust PWM duty cycle output for test purposes. Bits [7:5] of
Register 0x21 to Register 0x24 (PWM configuration registers)
control the behavior of each PWM output. Once under manual
control, each PWM output can be manually updated by writing to
Register 0xAA to Register 0xAD (PWM duty cycle registers).

PROGRAMMING THE AUTOMATIC FAN SPEED
CONTROL LOOP
Note that to more efficiently understand the automatic fan
speed control loop, use of the ADT7462 evaluation board and
software is strongly recommended 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 system characteristics, the designer
needs to carefully plan system configuration, including 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
system thermal characterization should also be involved at the
beginning of the process.
Automatic Fan Control Overview
The ADT7462 can automatically control the speed of fans based
upon the measured temperature. This is done independently
from CPU intervention once initial parameters are set up.
The ADT7462 has a local temperature sensor and up to three
remote temperature channels that can be connected to a CPU
on-chip thermal diode (available on Intel Pentium class and
other CPUs/GPUs). These four temperature channels can be
used as the basis for automatic fan speed control to drive fans
using pulse-width modulation (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 consumption. The automatic fan speed control mode
is very flexible, owing to the number of programmable
parameters, including TMIN and TRANGE. The TMIN and TRANGE
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 50 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan control
circuitry on the ADT7462. From a systems-level perspective, up
to four system temperatures can be monitored and used to
control four PWM outputs. The four PWM outputs can be used
to control up to eight fans. The ADT7462 allows the speed of
eight fans to be monitored. The Remote 1 and Remote 2
temperature channels have a thermal calibration block, allowing
the designer to individually configure the thermal characteristics of
those temperature channels. For example, the CPU fan can be
run when CPU temperature increases above 60°C and a chassis
fan can be run 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 50 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.

STEP 1—CONFIGURING THE MUX
First, the user needs to decide how many temperature channels
are being measured and how many fans need to be controlled
and monitored. Once these decisions have been made, 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; they can be run manually (under software
control); or they can be 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) of Register 0x21, Register 0x22, Register 0x23,
and Register 0x24 (PWM configuration registers) control the
behavior of the fans connected to the PWM1, PWM2, PWM3,
and PWM4 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 0x21, Register 0x22, Register 0x23,
and Register 0x24, control the behavior of the corresponding
PWM outputs (see Table 61).
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
the Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60°C or when the local
temperature exceeds 45°C.
STEP 2—TMIN SETTINGS FOR THERMAL
CALIBRATION CHANNELS
TMIN is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on under
automatic fan control. The speed at which the fan runs at TMIN is
programmed later. The TMIN values chosen are temperature
channel-specific; for example, 25°C for ambient channel, 30°C
for VRM temperature, and 40°C for processor temperature.
TMIN is an 8-bit value, either twos complement or Offset 64, that
can be programmed in 1°C increments. There is a TMIN register
associated with each temperature measurement channel: local,
Remote 1, Remote 2, and Remote 3. Once the TMIN value is
exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at the minimum PWM
duty cycle. The fan turns off once the temperature has dropped
below TMIN − THYST.

To overcome fan inertia, the fan is spun up until two valid

more details. In some cases, primarily for psycho-acoustic reasons,
the fan should never switch off below TMIN. The corresponding

STEP 3—PWMMIN FOR EACH PWM (FAN) OUTPUT
PWMMIN 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 TMIN.
For maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMIN should be as
low as possible. Depending on the fan used, the PWMMIN
setting is usually in the 20% to 33% duty cycle range. This value
can be found through fan validation.

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, the fan
characteristics can be set up differently. As a result, Fan 1,
driven by PWM1, can have a different PWMMIN value than that
of Fan 2 connected to PWM2. Figure 54 illustrates this as
PWM1MIN (the front fan) is turned on at a minimum duty cycle
of 20%, while PWM2MIN (the rear fan) turns on at a minimum
of 40% duty cycle. Note, however, that both fans turn on at
exactly the same temperature, defined by TMIN.

Register 0x2B, Minimum PWM4 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
10% ×= cycledutyPWMfanspeed
STEP 4—PWMMAX FOR PWM (FAN) OUTPUTS
PWMMAX is the maximum duty cycle that each fan in the system
runs at under the automatic fan speed control loop. For
maximum system acoustic benefit, PWMMAX 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.
There is one PWMMAX limit (Register 0x2C) for all fan channels.

TRANGE is the range of temperature over which automatic fan
control occurs once the programmed TMIN temperature has
been exceeded. TRANGE is a temperature slope, not an arbitrary
value; that is, a TRANGE of 40°C holds true only for PWMMIN =
33%. If PWMMIN is increased or decreased, the effective TRANGE
changes.

2. Determine experimentally the fan speed (PWM duty cycle
value) that does not exceed the temperature at the worst-

the fans are running at 50% PWM duty cycle.)
3. Determine the slope of the required control loop to meet

TRANGE is implemented as a slope, which means that as PWMMIN
is changed, TRANGE changes, but the actual slope remains the
same. The higher the PWMMIN value, the smaller the effective
TRANGE; that is, the fan reaches full speed (100%) at a lower
temperature.

where:
TMAX is the temperature at which the fan runs full speed.
TMIN is the temperature at which the fan turns on.
Max DC is the maximum duty cycle (100%) = 255 decimal.
Min DC is equal to PWMMIN.
TRANGE is the PWM duty cycle vs. temperature slope.
Example 1: Calculate T, given that TMIN = 30°C, TRANGE = 40°C,
and PWMMIN = 10% duty cycle = 26 (decimal).
TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC − Min DC) × TRANGE/170
TMAX = 30°C + (100% − 10%) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 30°C + (255 − 26) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 84°C (effective TRANGE = 54°C)
Example 2: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30°C, TRANGE =
40°C, and PWMMIN = 25% duty cycle = 64 (decimal).
TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC − Min DC) × TRANGE/170
TMAX = 30°C + (100% − 25%) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 30°C + (255 − 64) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 75°C (effective TRANGE = 45°C)
Example 3: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30°C, TRANGE =
40°C, and PWMMIN = 33% duty cycle = 85 (decimal).
TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC − Min DC) × TRANGE/170
TMAX = 30°C + (100% − 33%) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 30°C + (255 − 85) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 70°C (effective TRANGE = 40°C)
Example 4: Calculate TMAX, given that TMIN = 30°C, TRANGE =
40°C, and PWMMIN = 50% duty cycle = 128 (decimal).
TMAX = TMIN + (Max DC − Min DC) × TRANGE/170
TMAX = 30°C + (100% − 50%) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 30°C + (255 − 128) × 40°C/170
TMAX = 60°C (effective TRANGE = 30°C)
Selecting a TRANGE Slope
The TRANGE value can be selected for each temperature channel:
local, Remote 1, Remote 2, and Remote 3. Bits [7:4] (TRANGE) of
Register 0x60 to Register 0x63 define the TRANGE value for each
temperature channel (see Table 84).

Figure 60. TRANGE and % Fan Speed Slopes with PWMMIN = 20%
The graphs in Figure 59 assume that the fan starts from 0% PWM
duty cycle. Clearly, the minimum PWM duty cycle, PWMMIN,
needs to be factored in to see how the loop actually performs in
the system. Figure 60 shows how TRANGE is affected when the
PWMMIN value is set to 20%. It can be seen that the fan runs
about 45% fan speed when the temperature exceeds TMIN.
Example: Determining TRANGE for Each Temperature
Channel
The following example shows how the different TMIN and TRANGE
settings can be applied to three different thermal zones. In this
example, the following TRANGE values apply:
TRANGE = 80°C for ambient temperature
TRANGE = 53.3°C for CPU temperature
TRANGE = 40°C for VRM temperature
This example uses the MUX configuration described in the
Step 1—Configuring the MUX section. Both CPU temperature
and VRM temperature drive the CPU fan connected to PWM1.
Ambient temperature drives the front chassis fan and rear
chassis fan connected to PWM2 and PWM3.
The front chassis fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 20%.
The rear chassis fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 30%.
The CPU fan is configured to run at PWMMIN = 10%.
Note on 4-Wire Fans
The control range for 4-wire fans is much wider than that of
2-wire or 3-wire fans. In many cases, 4-wire fans can start with
a PWM drive of as little as 20%.

STEP 6—TTHERM FOR TEMPERATURE CHANNELS
TTHERM is the absolute maximum temperature allowed on a
temperature channel. Above this temperature, a component
such as the CPU or VRM might 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 minus hysteresis,
where hysteresis is the number programmed into Local/Remote 1
Hysteresis Register 0x54 and Remote 2/Remote 3 Hysteresis
Register 0x55. The default hysteresis value is 4°C.
The TTHERM limit should be considered as the maximum worst-
case operating temperature of the system. Because 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 it must not be exceeded under normal system
operating conditions.
Note that the TTHERM limits cannot be masked, and they affect
the fan speed no matter how the automatic fan control settings
are configured. This allows some flexibility because a TRANGE
value can be selected based on its slope, while a hard limit (such
as 70°C), can be programmed as TMAX (the temperature at which
the fan reaches full speed) by setting TTHERM to that limit (for
example, 70°C).

Register 0x4C, Local THERM1 temperature limit = 0xA4
(100°C default)

Because each hysteresis setting is four bits, hysteresis values are
programmable from 1°C to 15°C. It is not recommended that
hysteresis values ever be programmed to 0°C, because this
disables hysteresis. In effect, this would cause the fans to cycle
between normal speed and 100% speed, creating unsettling
acoustic noise.

STEP 7—THYST FOR TEMPERATURE CHANNELS
THYST is the amount of extra cooling a fan provides after the
temperature measured 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 hovers near the TMIN
setting.
The THYST value chosen determines 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 from chattering
on and off. The THYST default value is set at 4°C.

In some applications, it is required that fans not turn off below TMIN
but remain running at PWMMIN. Bits [1:0] of the PWM1, PWM2
Frequency Register (0x25) and the PWM3, PWM4 Frequency
Register (0x26) allow the fans to be turned off or to be 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.

Dynamic TMIN Control Mode
In addition to the automatic fan speed control mode described
in the Automatic Fan Control Overview section, the ADT7462
has a mode that extends the basic automatic fan speed control
loop. Dynamic TMIN control allows the ADT7462 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 TMIN 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. Altitude
affects the relative air density, which alters the effectiveness of
the fan cooling solution. For example, when 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 -C ase Fan
Due to manufacturing tolerances, fan speeds in rpm are
normally quoted with a tolerance of ±20%. The designer
must 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’s
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
effectiveness 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.)

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 manufactured is unique because of manufac-
turing variations. Heat sinks may be loose fitting or slightly
misaligned. Too much or too little thermal grease may be used.
Variations in application pressure for thermal interface
material can 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.

Figure 65. Thermal Model
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 TMIN control function.
Dynamic TMIN Control Overview
Dynamic TMIN control mode builds upon the basic automatic
fan control loop by adjusting the TMIN 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 ADT7462 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 ambient temperature in a system 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).
Getting the most benefit from the automatic fan control mode
involves characterizing the system to find the best TMIN and
TRANGE settings for the control loop and the best PWMMIN value
for the quietest fan speed setting. Using the ADT7462’s dynamic
TMIN control mode, however, shortens the characterization time
and alleviates tweaking the control loop settings, because the
device can self-adjust during system operation.
Dynamic TMIN control mode is operated by specifying the
operating zone temperatures required for the system. Remote 1
and Remote 2 channels have dedicated operating point registers.
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 ADT7462 dynamically
alters the control solution to maintain each zone temperature as
close as possible to its target operating point.
Figure 66 shows an overview of the parameters that affect the
operation of the dynamic TMIN control loop.

DYNAMIC TMIN CONTROL PROGRAMMING
Because the dynamic TMIN control mode is a basic extension of
the automatic fan control mode, the automatic fan control mode
parameters should be programmed first (see Step 1—Configuring
the MUX through Step 8—Operating Points for Temperature
Channels). Then proceed with dynamic TMIN control mode
programming.
STEP 8—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 ADT7462 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 TMIN value can be selected in the system characteri-
zation. If the TMIN value is too low, the fans run sooner than
required, and the temperature is below the operating point. In
response, the ADT7462 increases TMIN to keep the fans off
longer and to allow the temperature zone to get closer to the
operating point. Likewise, too high a TMIN value causes the
operating point to be exceeded, and in turn, the ADT7462
reduces TMIN to turn the fans on sooner to cool the system.
Programming the Operating Point Registers
There are two operating point registers, one for the Remote 1
temperature channel and one for the Remote 2 temperature
channel. These 8-bit registers allow the operating point
temperatures to be programmed with 1°C resolution.
Operating Point Registers
Register 0x5A, Remote 1 Operating Point = 0xA4 (100°C default)
Register 0x5B, Remote 2 Operating Point = 0xA4 (100°C default)
Operating Point Hysteresis Register
The operating point hysteresis register sets the value below the
operating point at which TMIN begins to reduce.
Register 0x64, Bits [7:4], Operating Point Hysteresis = 0x40
(4°C default)
STEP 9—HIGH AND LOW LIMITS FOR
TEMPERATURE CHANNELS
The low limit defines the temperature at which the TMIN 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 tempera-
ture drops below the low limit.
The high limit should be set above the operating point but
below the critical THERM point. An interrupt can be generated
when the temperature rises above the high limit.
How Dynamic TMIN 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 rises toward and exceeds
the operating point temperature minus hysteresis, TMIN is
reduced, and fan speed increases.
3. As the temperature drops below the low limit value, TMIN is
increased, and the fan speed is reduced.
Short Cycle and Long Cycle
The ADT7462 implements two loops: a short (or decrease)
cycle and a long (or increase) 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:
Dynamic TMIN Control Register 2 (0x0C)
Remote 1 = CYR1 = Bits [2:0]
Remote 2 = CYR2 = Bits [5:3]

111 1024 cycles 128 sec 2048 cycles 256 sec
The cycle time must be chosen carefully. A long cycle time
means that TMIN is updated less often. If your system has very
fast temperature transients, the dynamic TMIN control loop is
always lagging. If you choose a cycle time that is too fast, the
full benefit of changing TMIN is not realized and needs to change
again on the next cycle. In effect, it is overshooting. It is necessary
to carry out some calibration to identify the most suitable
response time.

Example 1: Normal Operation—No TMIN Adjustment
1. If measured temperature never exceeds the programmed

TMIN is not adjusted; that is, it remains at its current setting.
2. If measured temperature never drops below the low

Figure 69. Temperature Between the Operating Point
and the Low Temperature Limit
Because neither the operating point minus the hysteresis
temperature nor the low temperature limit has been exceeded,
the TMIN value is not adjusted, and the fan runs at a speed
determined by the fixed TMIN and TRANGE values defined in the
automatic fan speed control mode.
Example 2: Operating Point Exceeded; TMIN Reduced
When the measured temperature is below the operating point
temperature minus the hysteresis, TMIN remains the same. Once
the temperature exceeds the operating temperature minus the
hysteresis (OP − Hyst), TMIN starts to decrease as illustrated in
Figure 70. This occurs during the short cycle (see Figure 67).
The rate at which TMIN 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 TMIN
is reduced by 2°C. Decreasing TMIN has the effect of increasing
the fan speed, thus providing more cooling to the system.
If the temperature is slowly increasing only in the range (OP −
Hyst), that is, ≤0.25°C per short monitoring cycle, then TMIN
does not decrease. This allows small changes in temperature in
the desired operating zone without changing TMIN. The long
cycle makes no change to TMIN 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 TMIN 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 TMIN that would
occur due to the short cycle. In Figure 69, because the
temperature is increasing at a rate ≤0.25°C per short cycle, no
reduction in TMIN takes place during the short cycle.
Once the temperature falls below the operating temperature,
TMIN stays the same. Even when the temperature starts to
increase slowly, TMIN stays the same, because the temperature
increases at a rate of ≤0.25°C per cycle.

Figure 70. Effect of Exceeding Operating Point Minus Hysteresis Temperature
Example 3: Temperature Below Low Limit, TMIN Increased
When the temperature drops below the low temperature limit,
TMIN may increase, as shown in Figure 71. Increasing TMIN has
the effect of running the fan more slowly and, therefore, more
quietly. The long cycle diagram in Figure 68 shows the conditions
that need to be true for TMIN to increase. Here is a quick summary
of those conditions and the reasons they need to be true.
TMIN may increase, if
The measured temperature has fallen 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 TMIN would never increase and
the fans would run faster than necessary.
TMIN is below the high temperature limit. TMIN 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 TMIN can go.
TMIN is below the operating point temperature. TMIN should never
be allowed to increase above the operating point temperature,
because the fans do not switch on until the temperature rises
above the operating point.
• The temperature is above TMIN. The dynamic TMIN control is
turned off below TMIN.
Figure 71 shows how TMIN increases when the current
temperature is above TMIN and below the low temperature limit,
and TMIN is below the high temperature limit and below the
operating point. Once the temperature rises above the low
temperature limit, TMIN stays the same.

Example 4: Preventing TMIN from Reaching Full Scale
Because TMIN is dynamically adjusted, it is undesirable for TMIN
to reach full scale (191°C), because the fan would never switch
on. As a result, TMIN is allowed to vary only within a specified
range.
• The lowest possible value for TMIN is −64°C .
• TMIN cannot exceed the high temperature limit.
• If the temperature is below TMIN, the fan is switched off or
is running at minimum speed, and dynamic TMIN control
is disabled.

Bit (1) Remote 2 En = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the

Remote 2 En = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value
chosen is not adjusted and the channel behaves as described in
the Automatic Fan Control Overview section.
Bit (0) Remote 1 En = 1 enables dynamic TMIN control on the
Remote 1 temperature channel. The chosen TMIN value is
dynamically adjusted based on the current temperature,
operating point, and high and low limits for this zone.
Remote 1 En = 0 disables dynamic TMIN control. The TMIN value
chosen is not adjusted, and the channel behaves as described in
the Automatic Fan Control Overview section.
STEP 10—MONITORING THERM
Using the operating point limit ensures that the dynamic TMIN
control mode is operating in the best possible acoustic position,
while ensuring that the temperature never exceeds the
maximum operating temperature. Using the operating point
limit allows TMIN to be independent of system-level issues
because of its self-corrective nature. In PC design, the operating
point for the chassis is usually the worst-case internal chassis
temperature.
The optimal operating point for the processor is determined by
monitoring the thermal monitor in the Intel Pentium 4
processor. To do this, the PROCHOT output of the Pentium 4 is
connected to the THERM input of the ADT7462.
The operating point for the processor can be determined by
allowing the current temperature to be copied to the operating
point register when the PROCHOT output pulls the THERM
input low on the ADT7462. This gives the maximum
temperature at which the Pentium 4 can run before clock
modulation occurs.
Enabling the THERM Trip Point as the Operating Point
Bits [5:2] of Dynamic TMIN Control Register 1 (0x0B)
enable/disable THERM monitoring to program the operating
point. Table 43 details how the remote temperatures can be
copied into the operating point registers on a THERM
assertion. Setting these bits to 1 uses the remote temperature as
the operating point temperature, overwriting the programmed
operating point value in the event of a THERM assertion.
Setting these bits to 0 ignores a THERM assertion, and the
operating point register remains at the programmed value.
ENHANCING SYSTEM ACOUSTICS
Automatic fan speed control mode reacts instantaneously to
changes in temperature; that is, the PWM duty cycle responds
immediately to temperature change. Any impulses in temperature
can cause an impulse in fan noise. For psycho-acoustic reasons,
the ADT7462 can prevent the PWM output from reacting
instantaneously to temperature changes. Enhanced acoustic
mode controls the maximum change in PWM duty cycle at a
given time. The objective is to prevent the fan from cycling up
and down, annoying the user.
Acoustic Enhancement Mode Overview
Figure 73 gives a top-level overview of the automatic fan control
circuitry on the ADT7462 and shows where acoustic enhancement
fits in. Acoustic enhancement is intended as a post-design tweak
made by a system or mechanical engineer evaluating best set-
tings 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 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.

Figure 73. Acoustic Enhacement Smoothes Fan Speed Variations Under Automatic Fan Speed Control
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.
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 TMIN and TRANGE settings have already been defined in
automatic fan speed control mode; that is, thermal characteri-
zation of the control loop has been optimized. Now 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 ADT7462.
Enabling Acoustic Enhancement for Each PWM Output
Enhance Acoustics Register 1 (0x1A)
Bit 0 = EA1_En = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM1
output.
Bit 1 = EA2_En = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM2
output.
Enhance Acoustics Register 2 (0x1B)
Bit 0 = EA3_En = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM3
output.
Bit 1 = EA4_En = 1 enables acoustic enhancement on PWM4
output.

Rev. 0 | Page 54 of 92
Effect of Ramp Rate on Enhanced Acoustic 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 × 255 time slots and low for 2/3
× 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.

The ramp rates in the enhanced acoustics mode are selectable
from 1 to 8. 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 75 shows how the
enhanced acoustics mode algorithm operates.

Figure 75. 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,
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 enhance 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 × 100%.
STEP 11—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 Acoustic Register 1 (0x1A)
Bits [4:2] RR1 select the ramp rate for PWM1.
000 = 1 time slot = 35 seconds
001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 seconds
010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 seconds
011 = 5 time slots = 7 seconds
100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 seconds
101 = 12 time slots =3 seconds
110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 seconds
111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 seconds
Bits [7:5] RR2 select the ramp rate for PWM2.
000 = 1 time slot = 35 seconds
001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 seconds
010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 seconds
011 = 5 time slots = 7 seconds
100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 seconds
101 = 12 time slots =3 seconds
110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 seconds
111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 seconds
Enhanced Acoustic Register 2 (0x1B)
Bits [4:2] RR3 selects the ramp rate for PWM3.
000 = 1 time slot = 35 seconds
001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 seconds
010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 seconds
011 = 5 time slots = 7 seconds
100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 seconds
101 = 12 time slots = 3 seconds
110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 seconds
111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 seconds
Bits [7:5] RR4 select the ramp rate for PWM4.
000 = 1 time slot = 35 seconds
001 = 2 time slots = 17.6 seconds
010 = 3 time slots = 11.8 seconds
011 = 5 time slots = 7 seconds
100 = 8 time slots = 4.4 seconds

110 = 24 time slots = 1.6 seconds
111 = 48 time slots = 0.8 seconds
ADT7462
Rev. 0 | Page 55 of 92
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 ADT7462 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 76 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 shows how changing the ramp rate from 48 to 8

approximately 4.4 seconds for the fan to reach full speed.

Figure 79. Enhanced Acoustics Mode with Ramp Rate = 1
As Figure 76 to Figure 79 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.
Figure 80 shows the behavior of the PWM output as temperature
varies. As the temperature increases, the fan speed ramps up.
Small drops in temperature do not affect the ramp-up function,
because the newly calculated fan speed is still higher than the
previous PWM value. Enhanced acoustics mode allows the
PWM output to be made less sensitive to temperature
variations. This is dependent on the ramp rate selected and
programmed into the enhanced acoustics registers.

Slower Ramp Rates
The ADT7462 can be programmed for much longer ramp times
by slowing the ramp rates. Each ramp rate can be slowed by a
factor of 4.
PWM1 Configuration Register (0x21)
PWM2 Configuration Register (0x22)
PWM3 Configuration Register (0x23)
PWM4 Configuration Register (0x24)
Setting Bit 3 (the SLOW bit) to 1 in the PWM1 to PWM4
registers slows the ramp rate for PWM4 by 4.
FAN FREEWHEELING TEST MODE
The fan freewheeling test mode is intended to diagnose whether
fans connected to the ADT7462 are working properly. It is
particularly useful in the situation where fans coupled in the
duct can affect the airflow of the other fan. If one fan has failed,
it may not be apparent, as moving air from other fans can cause
air to flow through the faulty fan, which in turn can cause the
faulty fan to rotate.
The fan freewheeling test is most useful in a system using
primary and redundant setup. In such a system the following
setup is recommended. The primary fans are Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3,
and Fan 4. The redundant fans are Fan 5, Fan 6, Fan 7, and Fan 8.
In this setup, each primary and redundant fan can be driven
separately because they are driven by different PWMs.

Figure 81. Fan Freewheeling Test Mode Setup
The freewheeling test procedure is as follows:
1. PWM1 and PWM2 go to full speed, and PWM3 and PWM4
are switched off.
2. After the spin-up time of PWM1 and PWM2 has elapsed,
the speed of Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3, and Fan 4 is measured.
3. Once the speed of Fan 1 and Fan 2 is measured, PWM1 is
switched off and PWM3 is spun up. After the spin-up time for
PWM3 has elapsed, the speed of Fan 5 and Fan 6 is measured.
4. After the speed of Fan 3 and Fan 4 is measured, PWM2 is
switched off and PWM4 is switched on. After the spin-up
time of PWM4 has elapsed, the speed of Fan 7 and Fan 8
is measured.
5. Once the speed of all eight fans has been measured, the TACH
and PWM configurations go back to their previous values.
a. Fans must be in continuous mode for the freewheeling
test; that is, the dc bits must be set (Register 0x08).
b. To enable the freewheeling test, set the freewheeling test
enable register (0x1E) to a non-zero value. Set Bit 0 to 1
to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 1, and set Bit 1 for
Fan 2, all the way to Bit 7 for Fan 8. The freewheeling test
enable register should be programmed after the fans
present register is programmed. If the fans present register
is programmed first, then the values in the two registers do
not match, and the ADT7462 assumes that a fan is missing.
The following registers must be programmed for the fan
freewheeling test:
Fans Present Register (0x1D)
Set Bit 0 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH1.
Set Bit 1 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH2.
Set Bit 2 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH3.
Set Bit 3 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH4.
Set Bit 4 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH5.
Set Bit 5 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH6.
Set Bit 6 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH7.
Set Bit 7 to 1 when a fan is connected to TACH8.
Fan Freewheeling Test Enable Register (0x1E)
Set Bit 0 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 1.
Set Bit 1 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 2.
Set Bit 2 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 3.
Set Bit 3 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 4.
Set Bit 4 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 5.
Set Bit 5 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 6.
Set Bit 6 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 7.
Set Bit 7 to 1 to enable the freewheeling test for Fan 8.
Fan Freewheeling Test Register (0x1C)
Both the fans present register (0x1D) and freewheeling test enable
register (0x1E) should be programmed before setting the
relevant bits in the freewheeling test register (0x1C). The host
fan status register (0xBD) should be read directly after completion
of the test.

THERM I/O OPERATION
This section describes the operation of THERM1 and THERM2.
Pin 28 and Pin 29 can both be configured as THERM inputs or
outputs.
THERM Output
THERM is not enabled as an output by default on power-up,
but it can be enabled by setting the appropriate bits in
Register 0x0E (THERM1 configuration register) and
Register 0x0F (THERM2 configuration register). THERM1 and
THERM2 can be configured to assert whenever a specific
channel exceeds the specified THERM limit (see Table 30).

As an output, THERM is asserted low to signal that the measured
THERM temperature has exceeded preprogrammed THERM
temperature limits. The output is automatically pulled high again
when the temperature falls below the (THERM − Hysteresis) limit.
The value of hysteresis for each channel is programmable in
Register 0x54 and Register 0x55, where 1 LSB = 1°C, and the
maximum hysteresis for each channel is 15°C.

Setting the THERM boost bits, Bit 0 and Bit 1, to logic zero
(default setting) in the THERM configuration register (0x0D),
sets the fans to full speed on an internal THERM event.
THERM Input
To configure THERM as an input, the Enable_THERM1_Timer
bit (Bit 0) in the THERM1 configuration register (0x0E) and the
Enable_THERM2_Timer bit (Bit 0) in the THERM2 configuration
register (0x0F) must be set to Logic 1. The ADT7462 can then
be used to detect when the THERM pins are asserted low. The
THERM pins can be connected to a trip point temperature
sensor or to the PROCHOT output of a CPU.
With processor core voltages reducing all the time, the threshold
for the AGTL+ PROCHOT output also reduces as new
processors become available.
Because the THERM input is typically an AGTL+ input, the
thresholds can be referenced to VCCP. By setting Bit 4 of
Configuration Register 3 (0x03) to 1, the THERM threshold is
2/3 × VCCP, the correct threshold for an AGTL+ signal. The
THERM assert bits in Host Thermal Status Register 2 (0xB9)
are set to Logic 1 whenever the THERM input is asserted low.
The THERM state bits in Host Thermal Status Register 2 (0xB9)
indicate that a high-to-low transition has taken place on the
THERM pin.
THERM Timer
The ADT7462 can also measure assertion times on the THERM
inputs as a percentage of a timer window. The timer window for
the THERM1 input is programmed using Bits [4:2] of the
THERM configuration register (0x0D). The timer window for
the THERM2 input is programmed using Bits [7:5] of the THERM
configuration register (0x0D). Values of between 0.25 seconds
and 8 seconds are programmable (see Table 31).

The assertion time as a percentage of the time window is stored
in the THERM % on-time registers. This is a cumulative sum of
the percentage of time during the THERM timer window that
THERM is asserted. The % on-time and associated timer limit
registers are listed in Table 32.
Table 32. THERM On-Time and Timer Limit Register
Channel % On-Time Register % Timer Limit Register
THERM1 0xAE 0x80
THERM2 0xAF 0x81
Once the measured percentage exceeds the corresponding per-
centage limit, the THERM % bit in Thermal Status Register 2
gets asserted, and an ALERT is generated (that is, if the mask bit
is not set). If the limit is set to 0x00, an ALERT is generated on
the first assertion. If the Limit is set to FFh, an ALERT is never
generated because 0xFF corresponds to the THERM input
being asserted all the time.
When THERM is configured as an input only, setting Bits [1:4]
of the THERM zone in THERM1 configuration register (0x0E)
and THERM2 configuration register (0x0F) allows Pin 7 to
operate as an I/O.
THERM % Limit Register
The THERM % limit is programmed to Register 0x80 and
Register 0x81. If the THERM is asserted for longer than the
programmed percentage limit, then an ALERT is generated.
The limit is programmed as a percentage of the chosen THERM
timer window.
Example:
The THERM timer window is eight seconds, and an ALERT
should be generated if the THERM is asserted for more than
one second.

The THERM % limit register is an 8 bit register.

Therefore, 1 LSB = 0.39%

Once the time window has elapsed, if the THERM limit has
been exceeded, then an ALERT is generated.

GENERAL-PURPOSE I/O PINS
The ADT7462 has eight open drain GPIO pins. GPIO1 to
GPIO4 can be configured to enable event driven outputs
(EDOs), and GPIO5 and GPIO6 can act as EDOs, if the EDO
functionality is enabled. Two other GPIOs (GPIO 7 and GPIO 8)
are standard GPIO pins that are dedicated to general-purpose
logic input/output.
Each GPIO pin has five data bits associated with it: three bits in
a GPIO configuration register (0x09 and 0x0A), one in the
GPIO status register (0xBF), and one in the GPIO mask register
(0x38).
SETTING a direction bit to 1 in a GPIO configuration register
makes the corresponding GPIO pin an output.
CLEARING the direction bit to 0 makes the corresponding
GPIO an input.
SETTING a polarity bit to 1 in a GPIO configuration register
makes the corresponding GPIO pin active high.
CLEARING the polarity bit to 0 makes the corresponding
GPIO active low.
When a GPIO pin is configured as an input, the corresponding
bit in the GPIO status registers is read only, and it is set when
the input is asserted (“asserted” can be high or low, depending
on the setting of the polarity bit).
When a GPIO pin is configured as an output, the corresponding
bit in the GPIO status registers becomes read/write. Setting this
bit then asserts the GPIO output. (Again, “asserted” can be high
or low, depending on the setting of the polarity bit.) The effect
of a GPIO status register bit on the INT output can be masked
by setting the corresponding bit in one of the GPIO mask
registers.
When the pin is configured as an output, this bit is automatically
masked to prevent the data written to the status bit from causing
an interrupt. When configured as inputs, the GPIO pins can be
connected to external interrupt sources such as temperature
sensors with digital output.
EDO CIRCUITRY
The ADT7462 has the added functionality that the assertion of
one of the four GPIOs (GPIO1 to GPIO4) can be used to latch
one of the two EDOs high or low. The ADT7462 has two EDO
event mask registers (0x37 and 0x38): one mask for each EDO.
See Table 33 for an explanation of event mask register
functionality.
The polarity of the EDOs is set in the GPIO configuration
registers (0x09 and 0x0A).
SETTING a polarity bit to 1 in one of the GPIO configuration
registers makes the corresponding GPIO pin active high.
CLEARING the polarity bit to 0 makes it active low.

Bits [7:5] of each event mask register allow the EDO output to be
driven high or low (depending on the polarity bit of the
configuration register) and latched (depending on the EDO latch
bit of the configuration register), if the ADT7462 detects an
overtemperature, an over/undervoltage, or a fan failure condition.

2Table 33 shows that any of the four designated GPIO pins can
be used to set or reset anyone of the two EDO outputs.
Using this functionality, it is possible to have the ADT7462
drive LEDs or signals based on rules. For example, if a GPIO1
(power fail), a GPIO2 (overcurrent), or an overtemperature
condition occurs, EDO1 (power supply fault LED) can be
latched. This does not require software handling and makes the
part more autonomous.
OTHER DIGITAL INPUTS
The ADT7462 contains other specific digital inputs that can be
found on PC motherboards. These inputs can be monitored and
configured for actions to occur on their assertion.
VR_HOT inputs
Pin 25 and Pin 26 can be configured as VR_HOT inputs. These
are specific digital signals from the CPU voltage regulator that
indicate an overtemperature. On assertion of these inputs, the
relevant status bits are set in the Thermal Status Register 2
(Host Register 0xB9 or BMC Register 0xC1). Assertion of these
inputs can also be used to boost the fans to full speed, thus
providing emergency cooling in the event of VR overtemperature.
This is set using Bit 3 and Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2
(0x02). There is also an associated mask bit in Register 0x31 to
mask the assertion of these inputs from the ALERT output.
SCSI_TERM inputs
Pin 16 and Pin 20 can be configured as SCSI_TERM inputs. An
assertion on the SCSI_TERM is recorded in Bit 4 and Bit 5 of
Digital Status Register 1 (Host Register 0xBE or BMC register
0xC6). There is also an associated mask bit in Register 0x35 to
mask the assertion of these inputs from the ALERT output.
RESET I/O
The ADT7462 includes an active low reset pin (Pin 14). The
RESET pin can be both a reset input and output. RESET
monitors the VCC input to the ADT7462. At power-up, RESET
is asserted (pulled low) until 180 ms after the power supply has
risen above the supply threshold. A power-on reset initializes all
registers to the default values.

RESET
Figure 84. Operation of RESET Output on Power-Up
The RESET pin can also function as a reset input. Pulling this
pin low externally resets the ADT7462. The user should wait at
least 180 ms after power-up before doing a hardware reset. The
reset pulse width should be greater than 0.8 ms to ensure that a
reset is registered.
A hardware reset differs from a power-on reset in that not all of
the registers are re-initialized to the default values. For example,
limit registers are not all restored to the default values. This can
be useful if the user needs to reset the part but does not want to
completely reprogram the device. The Register Map shows which
registers are reset. Locked registers are not restored to default
values by a hardware reset.
Note that if two ADT7462 devices are used in one system, the
RESET pins should not be connected together between devices.
Doing so would cause one device to reset the other on a power-
on reset.
Software Reset
The ADT7462 can be reset in software by setting Bit 7 of
Configuration Register 0 (0x00). The code 0x6D must be written to
Register 0x7B before setting the software reset bit. This register is
cleared to the power-on default after the software reset.
Note that not all registers are restored to their default values on
a reset. The same registers are reset by a hardware and software
reset. The Register Map section shows a complete reference of
registers that are reset.
CHASSIS INTRUSION INPUT
The chassis intrusion input is an active high input intended for
detection and signaling of unauthorized tampering with the
system. When this input goes high, the event is latched in Bit 7
of the digital status register (0xBE), and an interrupt is generated.
The bit remains set until cleared by writing a 1 to CI reset, Bit 5
of Configuration Register 3 (0x03). The CI reset bit itself is
cleared by writing a 0 to it.
The CI circuit is powered from the VBATT voltage channel. Pin 26
must be configured to monitor VBATT and a battery connected in
order to monitor CI events. CI monitoring is disabled if the
measured VBATT value (0x93) is less than the lower voltage limit
(0x75) of Pin 26.
The CI input detects chassis intrusion events even when the
ADT7462 is powered off (provided battery voltage is applied to
VBATT) but does not immediately generate an interrupt. Once a
chassis intrusion event is detected and latched, an interrupt is
generated when the system is powered on.
The actual detection of chassis intrusion is performed by an
external circuit that detects, for example, when the cover has
been removed. A wide variety of techniques can be used for the
detection. For example:
• A microswitch that opens or closes when the cover is removed
• A reed switch operated by a magnet affixed to the cover
• A hall-effect switch operated by a magnet affixed to the cover
• A phototransistor that detects light when the cover is
removed.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The power-up sequence of the ADT7462 is as follows:
1. The temperature of the thermal diode connected to Pin 17
and Pin 18 (only dedicated thermal diode channel) is
monitored immediately on power-up of the ADT7462.
Ideally, the hottest zone should be connected to this channel
so protection is provided immediately on power-up.
2. VCCP1 is also monitored immediately on power-up. VCCP
is typically connected to a main power rail. The switching
on of the VCCP rail gates the fan’s quiet start-up counter.
3. VBATT is monitored immediately on power-up before the
setup complete bit (Register 0x01, Bit 5) is set. The chassis
intrusion circuit (CI) is powered from VBATT. If the measured
VBATT reading is lower than the lower limit (default =
0x80), the CI circuit is turned off.
4. PWM1, PWM3, and PWM4 are not on dedicated pins.
Because these pins are shared with inputs, they are allowed
to float high on power-up. This means that if a fan is
connected to these pins, it spins at full speed on power-up.
5. PWM2 is switched off by default (because this is a
dedicated pin). If no SMBus communication takes place
within 4.6 seconds of the VCCP rail switching on, this PWM
drive is driven to full speed. If SMBus communication
does take place, this pin behaves as programmed.
6. No temperature or voltage (other than VCCP1 and Diode 2
and VBATT) are monitored until the setup complete bit (Bit 5)
is set in Configuration Register 1 (0x01). This allows the
user to program the ADT7462 as required before
monitoring of all channels is enabled, thereby not
generating false ALERTs. The setup complete bit should
not be set until the device is fully configured for the
desired monitoring functions.
The following steps describe how to set up the ADT7462:
1. Power up the device.
2. Choose the best-suited easy configuration option for the
application, changing pin functions as required.
3. Program all appropriate limits for monitored inputs.
Program device parameters, fan control parameters, mask
bits, and anything else required for the application.
4. Set the complete bit. Do not set the complete bit until the
device is fully set up.

XOR TREE TEST
The ADT7462 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 test, it is possible to detect opens or shorts on the system board. Figure 85 shows the signals
exercised in the XOR tree test. The XOR tree test is invoked by setting Bit 6 (XOR tree test) of Configuration Register 3 (0x03).
Note that the digital inputs must be selected on multifunctional pins for the XOR tree test mode. Pin 13 is the open drain output of the
XOR tree test.
