NCT7491
Remote Thermal Monitor
and Fan Controller with
PECI 3.0 Interface and
SMBus Compatible Master
www.onsemi.com
The NCT7491 is a two−wire serially programmable hardware
monitor. It can monitor 2 remote temperature zones and its own
ambient temperature. A PECI 3.0 single wire interface allows the
NCT7491 to monitor CPU temperatures. The NCT7491 also
implements an SMBus compatible master, allowing it to read
automatically from thermal sensors on the SMBus. The NCT7491 can
automatically control the speed of 3 fans using PWM control, and
monitor the speed of 4 fans. There are 4 analog inputs, used for
measuring 12 V, 5 V, 2.5 V and Vccp channels. The NCT7491 supply

voltage and PECI V
voltage are also monitored. Each of the
TT
measured temperature, voltage and fan speed values are compared
with programmable limits and if any channel is outside the
programmed limit an interrupt is generated via the ALERT output pin.
A THERM output is also available for fail−safe thermal control. Up to
3 GPIO pins are available for digital control or signalling.

SMBus/I C interface which is compatible with industry standard
protocols. The SMBus address is set by 2 address selection pins.
The NCT7491 is available in a 24−lead QFN or QSOP package and
operates over a supply range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V.
