aSC7621
HARDWARE MONITOR
WITH INTEGRATED FAN CONTROL
Preliminary Specification
Product Description
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Measurement System
Temperature:
The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible
with SMBus 2.0. Using a 10-bit ΣΔ- ADC, the aSC7621
measures the temperature of two remote diode connected
transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform
Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included.
Using temperature information from these four zones, an
automatic fan speed control algorithm is employed to
minimize acoustic impact while achieving recommended
CPU temperature under varying operational loads.

To set fan speed, the aSC7621 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 aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be
invoked to smooth temperature readings for better control
of fan speed and minimum acoustic impact. The aSC7621
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.
Fan Tachometer:
•
16-bit count of 90kHz clock periods
Limit alarms for all measured values
Applications
•
•
Desktop Computers – Motherboards and Graphics
Cards
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.
