PRODUCT FEATURES
General Description
Features
Programmable Fan Control circuit
The EMC2113 is an SMBus compliant fan controller.
The fan driver can be operated using two methods, each
with two modes. The methods include an RPM-based
Fan Speed Control Algorithm and a direct PWM drive
setting. The modes include manually programming the
desired settings or using the internal programmable
temperature look-up table to select the desired setting
based on measured temperature.
—
4-wire fan compatible
—
Both Low and High frequency PWM
RPM-based fan control algorithm
—
2% accurate from 500 RPM to 16k RPM
—
Automatic Tachometer feedback
Temperature Look-Up Table
—
Controls fan speed or PWM drive setting
—
Eight steps that incorporate up to four temperature
zones simultaneously (user selectable)
The EMC2113 includes a temperature monitor that
measures up to three (3) external diodes and the
internal diode. The temperature monitors offer 1°C
accuracy (for external diodes) with sophisticated
features to reduce errors introduced by series resistance
and beta variation of substrate thermal diode transistors
commonly found in processors.

Resistance Error Correction and Beta Compensation
1°C accurate (60°C to 125°C)
0.125°C resolution
Programmable High and Low limits
The device includes high and low limits for all
temperature channels as well as a hardware set critical
temperature limit. This hardware set limit drives a
dedicated system shutdown pin.
