Features
General Description
ꢀMeasures Two Remote Temperatures
ꢀNo Calibration Required
The G768D contains a precise digital thermometer, a
fan controller, and a system-reset circuit.
ꢀSMBus 2-Wire Serial Interface
ꢀProgrammable Under/Over-temperature Alarms
ꢀProgrammable Thermal Shutdown Signal
ꢀSupports SMBus Alert Response
ꢀAccuracy: ±5°C (-40°C to + 125°C, remote)
±3°C (+60°C to + 100°C, remote)
ꢀ+4.5V to +5.5V Supply Range
ꢀFan speed control range: 3,000 to 30,000 rpm
ꢀFan speed accuracy: ±2%
Except for one less fan controller, G768D is backward
compatible with G768B. G768D has 2 more functions,
fan-failure detection and programmable thermal shut-
down signal.
The thermometer reports the temperature of 2 remote
sensors. The remote sensors are diode-connected
transistors typically
a
low-cost, easily mounted
2N3904 NPN type that replace conventional thermis-
tors or thermocouples. Remote accuracy is ±5°C for
multiple transistor manufacturers, with no calibration
needed. The remote channel can also measure the die
temperature of other ICs, such as microprocessors,
that contain an on-chip, diode-connected transistor.
ꢀBuilt-in MOSFET switch
ꢀInternal current-limit and over-temperature
protection for fan control
ꢀWatchdog for fan control
ꢀAlarm for fan failure
ꢀPrecision Monitoring of 5V Power-Supply
Voltage
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBusTM) Write Byte, Read Byte,
Send Byte, and Receive Byte commands to program
the alarm thresholds and to read temperature data.
The data format is 7 bits plus sign, with each bit cor-
responding to 1°C, in two’s-complement format.
Measurements can be done automatically and
autonomously, with the conversion rate programmed
by the user or programmed to operate in a single-shot
mode. The adjustable rate allows the user to control
the supply-current drain.

G768D also contains a fan speed controller. It connects
directly to the fans and performs closed-loop control of
the fan speed independently. The only external compo-
nent required is a 10µF capacitor per channel. It deter-
mines the current fan speed based on the fan rotation
pulses and an externally supplied 32.768KHz clock.
