aSC7611
HARDWARE MONITOR
WITH INTEGRATED FAN CONTROL
Preliminary Specification
Product Description
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Measurement System
Temperature:
The aSC7611 has a two wire digital interface compatible
with SMBus 2.0. Using a 10-bit ΣΔ- ADC, the aSC7611
measures the temperature of two remote diode connected
transistors as well as its own die.
•
•
•
0.25°C resolution, ±2°C accuracy on remote diode
0.25°C resolution, ±3°C accuracy on local sensor
Temperature measurement range on remote
sensor –55°C to +125°C using 2’s complement
coding.
Using temperature information from these three zones, an
automatic fan speed control algorithm is employed to
minimize acoustic impact while achieving recommended
CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
Voltage:
To set fan speed, the aSC7611 has three independent
pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs that are controlled
by one, or a combination of three, temperature zones.
Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported.
The aSC7611 also includes a digital filter that can be
invoked to smooth temperature readings for better control
of fan speed and minimum acoustic impact. The aSC7611
has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four
fans. Limit and status registers for all measured values are
included to alert the system host that any measurements
are outside of programmed limits via status registers.

10-bit Resolution, ±2% of Full Scale
Fan Tachometer:
•
16-bit count of 90kHz clock periods
Limit alarms for all measured values
Applications
•
Desktop Computers – Motherboards and Graphics
Cards
Laptop Computers
Microprocessor based equipment (e.g. Base-
stations, Routers, ATMs, Point of Sales)
System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V
motherboard power are monitored efficiently with internal
scaling resistors.
