HARDWARE MONITOR WITH INTEGRATED FAN CONTROL
Preliminary Specification Product Description
The aSC7611 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0. Using a 10-bit - ADC, the aSC7611 measures the temperature of two remote diode connected transistors as well as its own die. 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. 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. System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors.

1. Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which operation may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only; functional operation at or above these limits is not implied. 2. When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN < GND or VIN > VDD), the current at that pin should be limited to 5mA. The 20mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5mA to four. Parasitic components and/or ESD protection circuitry are present on the aSC7611 pins. Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode present on pins D+ and D-. Doing so by more than 50mV may corrupt temperature measurements.

5. These specifications are guaranteed only for the test conditions listed. 6. The accuracy of the aSC7611 is guaranteed when using the thermal diode of Intel Pentium 4, 65nm processors or any thermal diode with a non-ideality of 1.009 and series resistance of 4.52. When using a 2N3904 type transistor or an CPU with a different non-ideality the error band will be typically shifted depending on transistor diode or CPU characteristics. See applications section for details. 7. Accuracy (expressed in C) = Difference between the aSC7611 reported output temperature and the temperature being measured. Local temperature accuracy does not include the effects of self-heating. The rise in temperature due to self-heating is the product of the internal power dissipation of the aSC7611 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 3) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation. 8. TUE, total unadjusted error, includes ADC gain, offset, linearity and reference errors. TUE is defined as the "actual Vin" to achieve a given code transition minus the "theoretical Vin " for the same code. Therefore, a positive error indicates that the input voltage is greater than the theoretical input voltage for a given code. If the theoretical input voltage was applied to an aSC7611 that has positive error, the aSC7611's reading would be less than the theoretical. 9. This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature and voltage data is updated. The aSC7611 can be read at any time without regard to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result). 10. Holding the SMBCLK lines low for a time interval greater than tTIMEOUT will reset the aSC7611's SMBus state machine, therefore setting the SMBDAT pin to a high impedance state.

aSC7611
Control Communication
SMBus
The aSC7611 is compatible with devices that are compliant to the SMBus 2.0 specifications. More information on this bus can be found at http://www.smbus.org/. Compatibility of SMBus2.0 to other buses is discussed in the SMBus 2.0 specification.
Slave Address
aSC7611 is designed to be used primarily in desktop systems that require only one monitoring device. If only one aSC7611 is used on the motherboard, the designer should be sure that the AddressEnable /PWM3 pin is High during the first SMBus communication addressing the aSC7611.
AddressEnable /PWM3 is an open drain I/O pin that at
General Operation
Writing to and reading from the aSC7611 registers is accomplished via the SMBus-compatible two-wire serial interface. SMBus protocol requires that one device on the bus initiate and control all read and write operations. This device is called the "master" device. The master device also generates the SCL signal that is the clock signal for all other devices on the bus. All other devices on the bus are called "slave" devices. The aSC7611 is a slave device. Both the master and slave devices can send and receive data on the bus. During SMBus operations, one data bit is transmitted per clock cycle. All SMBus operations follow a repeating nine clock-cycle pattern that consists of eight bits (one byte) of transmitted data followed by an acknowledge (ACK) or not acknowledge (NACK) from the receiving device. Note that there are no unused clock cycles during any operation-- therefore there must be no breaks in the stream of data and ACKs / NACKs during data transfers. For most operations, SMBus protocol requires the SDA line to remain stable (unmoving) whenever SCL is high -- i.e. any transitions on the SDA line can only occur when SCL is low. The exceptions to this rule are when the master device issues a start or stop condition. Note that the slave device cannot issue a start or stop condition.
power-on defaults to the input state of AddressEnable . A maximum of 10k pull-up resistance on
AddressEnable /PWM3 is required to assure that the SMBus address of the device will be locked at 010 1110b, which is the default address of the aSC7611.

Preliminary Specification - Subject to change without notice
During the first SMBus communication TACH4 and PWM3 can be used to change the SMBus address of the aSC7611 to 0101101b or 0101100b. aSC7611 address selection procedure: A 10k pull-down resistor to ground on the
AddressEnable /PWM3 pin is required. Upon power up, the aSC7611 will be placed into AddressEnable mode and assign itself on SMBus address according to the state of the Address Select input. The aSC7611 will latch the address during the first valid SMBus transaction in which the first five bits of the targeted address match those of the aSC7611 address, 0 1011b. This feature eliminates the possibility of a glitch on the SMBus interfering with
address selection. When the AddressEnable /PWM3 pin is not used to change the SMBus address of the aSC7611, it will remain in a high state until the first communication with the aSC7611. After the first SMBus transaction is completed PWM3 and TACH4 will return to normal operation. Address Select Board Implementation Both pins pulled to ground through a 10 k resistor Address Select pulled to 3.3V and
AddressEnable pulled to GND through a 10 k resistor AddressEnable pulled to 3.3V through a 10 k resistor
SMBus Definitions
The following are definitions for some general SMBus terms: Start Condition: This condition occurs when the SDA line transitions from high to low while SCL is high. The master device uses this condition to indicate that a data transfer is about to begin. Stop Condition: This condition occurs when the SDA line transitions from low to high while SCL is high. The master device uses this condition to signal the end of a data transfer. Acknowledge and Not Acknowledge: When data are transferred to the slave device it sends an "acknowledge" (ACK) after receiving each byte. The receiving device sends an ACK by pulling SDA low for one clock. Following the last byte, a master device sends a "not acknowledge" (NACK) followed by a stop condition. A NACK is indicated by forcing SDA high during the clock after the last byte. Address Enable 0 SMBus Address Binary 010 1100 Hex 2Ch

aSC7611
In this way, up to three aSC7611 devices can exists on a SMBus at any time. Multiple aSC7611 devices can be used to monitor additional processors in the temperature zones. When using the non-default addresses, additional circuitry will be required if Tach4 and PWM3 require to function correctly. Such circuitry could consist of GPIO pins from a micro-controller. During the first communication the micro-controller would drive the
AddressEnable and Address Select pins to the proper state for the required address. After the first SMBus communication the micro-controller would drive its pins into Tri-State allowing TACH4 and PWM3 to operate correctly.
Writing to Registers
All writes must start with a pointer set as described previously, even if the pointer is already pointing to the desired register. The sequence is described in Figure 2. Immediately following the pointer set, the master must begin transmitting the data to be written. After transmitting each byte of data, the master must release the SDA line for one clock to allow the aSC7611 to acknowledge receiving the byte. The write operation should be terminated by a stop condition from the master.
Reading from Registers
Preliminary Specification - Subject to change without notice
Writing to and Reading from the aSC7611
All read and write operations must begin with a start condition generated by the master device. After the start condition, the master device must immediately send a slave address (7-bits) followed by a R/ W bit. If the slave address matches the address of the aSC7611, it sends an ACK by pulling the SDA line low for one clock. Read or write operations may contain one- or two-bytes. See Figures 2 through 6 for timing diagrams for all aSC7611 operations.
To read from a register other than the one currently being pointed to by the address pointer register, a pointer set sequence to the desired register must be done as described previously. Immediately following the pointer set, the master must perform a repeat start condition that indicates to the aSC7611 that a read is about to occur. It is important to note that if the repeat start condition does not occur, the aSC7611 will assume that a write is taking place, and the selected register will be overwritten by the upcoming data on the data bus. The read sequence is described in Figure 4. After the start condition, the master must again send the device address and read/write bit. This time the R/ W bit must be set to 1 to indicate a read. The rest of the read cycle is the same as described in the previous paragraph for reading from a preset pointer location. If the pointer is already pointing to the desired register, the master can read from that register by setting the R/ W bit (following the slave address) to a 1. After sending an ACK, the aSC7611 will begin transmitting data during the following clock cycle. After receiving the 8 data bits, the master device should respond with a NACK followed by a stop condition. If the master is reset while the aSC7611 is in the process of being read, the master should perform an SMBus reset. This is done by holding the data or clock low for more than 35ms, allowing all SMBus devices to be reset. This follows the SMBus 2.0 specification of 25-35ms. When the aSC7611 detects an SMBus reset, it will prepare to accept a new start sequence and resume communication from a known state.
Preliminary Specification - Subject to change without notice
Setting the Register Address Pointer
For all operations, the address pointer stored in the address pointer register must be pointing to the register address that is going to be written to or read from. This register's content is automatically set to the value of the first byte following the R/ W bit being set to 0. After the aSC7611 sends an ACK in response to receiving the address and R/ W bit, the master device must transmit an appropriate 8-bit address pointer value as explained in the Registers section of this data sheet. The aSC7611 will send an ACK after receiving the new pointer data. The register address pointer set operation is illustrated in Figure 2. If the address pointer is not a valid address the aSC7611 will internally terminate the operation. Also recall that the address register retains the current address pointer value between operations. Therefore, once a register is being pointed to, subsequent read operations do not require another Address Pointer set cycle.

Temperature Measurement
Temperatures are measured with a precision Delta-VBE methodology converted to a digital temperature reading by a 10-bit sigma-delta converter. The user may set limits on these readings to be continuously monitored and alarm bits set when they are exceeded. Separately, the measurements are also delivered to the automatic fan control system to adjust fan speed. The following registers contain the readings from the internal and remote sensors.

The Zone Temperature registers reflect the current temperature of the internal and remote diodes. Processor (Zone 1) Temp register reports the temperature measured by the thermal diode connected to the Remote 1- and Remote 1+ pins. Internal (Zone 2) Temp register reports the temperature measured by the internal (junction) temperature sensor. Remote 2 (Zone 3) Temp register reports the temperature measured by the thermal diode connected to the second set of Remote 2and Remote 2+ pins. Temperatures are represented as 10 bit, 2's complement, signed numbers, in degrees Celsius, as shown below in Table 1. The Temperature Reading register will return a value of 8000h if the remote diode pins are not used by the board designer or are not functioning properly. This reading will cause the zone limit bits (bits 4 and 6) in the Interrupt Status Register (41h) and the remote diode fault status bit (bits 6 and 7) in the Interrupt Status Register 2 (42h) to be set. These registers are readonly - a write to these registers has no effect.

If a voltage input either exceeds the value set in the voltage high limit register or falls below the value set in the voltage low limit register, the corresponding bit will be set automatically by the aSC7611 in the interrupt status registers (41-42h). Voltages are presented in the registers at 3/4 of full-scale for the nominal voltage, meaning that at nominal voltage, each input will be C0h, as shown in Table 3. Note that 3.3V input is Vdd and is not allowed to go below 3.0V during normal operation.

The Interrupt Status Register 1 bits will be automatically set, by the aSC7611, whenever a fault condition is detected. A fault condition is detected whenever a measured value is outside the window set by its limit registers. ZN1 bit will be set when a diode fault condition, such as an open or short, is detected. More than one fault may be indicated in the interrupt register when read. The register will hold a set bit(s) until the event is read by software. The contents of this register will be cleared (set to 0) automatically by the aSC7611 after it is read by software, if the fault condition no longer exists. Once set, the Interrupt Status Register 1 bits will remain set until a read event occurs, even if the fault condition no longer exists. This register is read-only - a write to this register has no effect. Bit

The VID register contains the values of aSC7611 VID0-VID4 input pins. This register indicates the status of the VID lines that interconnect the processor to the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM). Software uses the information in this register to determine the voltage that the processor is designed to operate at. With this information, software can then dynamically determine the correct values to place in the VCCP Low Limit and VCCP High Limit registers. This register is read-only - a write to this register has no effect.

The Fan Tachometer Reading registers contains the number of 11.111s periods (90 kHz) between full fan revolutions. The results are based on the time interval of two tachometer pulses, since most fans produce two tachometer pulses per full revolution. These registers will be updated at least once every second. Common interpretation of tachometer readings is to take the binary period measurement and convert it to RPM. This may be done by applying the formula: RPM = (90,000 x 60)/(Decimal Equivalent of binary Tach Reading) The value, for each fan, is represented by a 16-bit unsigned number. The Fan Tachometer Reading registers will always return an accurate fan tachometer measurement, even when a fan is disabled or non-functional, however, if PWM commands for a fan (register 30h to 32h) is zero, tach measurements are suspended and the last reading may remain in the register. FF FFh indicates that the fan is not spinning, or that the tachometer input is not connected to a valid signal. This value may be FF FEh or FF FCh if Measurement Duration, bits 1:0 of register 3A-3Dh are set to 01 or 00, respectively. These registers are read-only - a write to these registers has no effect. When the LSByte of the aSC7611 16-bit register is read, the other byte (MSByte) is latched at the current value until it is read. At the end of the MSByte read the Fan Tachometer Reading registers are updated. During spin-up, the PWM duty cycle reported is 0%.

The Fan Tachometer Low Limit registers indicate the tachometer reading under which the corresponding bit will be set in the Interrupt Status Register 2 register. In Auto Fan Control mode, the fan can run at low speeds, so care should be taken in software to ensure that the limit is high enough not to cause sporadic alerts. The fan tachometer will not cause a bit to be set in Interrupt Status Register 2 if the current value in Current PWM Duty registers (30h to 32h) is 00h or if the fan is disabled via the Fan Configuration Register. Interrupts will not be generated for a fan if its minimum is set to FF FFh except for timeout. Setting the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit has no effect on these registers. Given the relative insignificance of Bit 0 and Bit 1, these bits could be programmed to designate the physical location of the fan generating the tachometer signal, as follows: Register Name

Automatic Fan Control
Auto Fan Control Operating Mode
The aSC7611 includes the circuitry for automatic fan control. In Auto Fan Mode, the aSC7611 will automatically adjust the PWM duty cycle of the PWM output. PWM outputs are assigned to a thermal zone based on the fan configuration registers. At any time, the temperature of a zone exceeds its Absolute Limit, all PWM outputs will go to 100% duty cycle to provide maximum cooling to the system.

Example for PWM1 assigned to Zone 1: * * * Zone 1 Fan Temp Limit (Register 67h) is set to 50C (32h). Zone 1 Range (Register 5Fh) is set to 8C (6xh). Fan PWM Minimum (Register 64h) is set to 50% (80h).
In this case, the PWM duty cycle will be 50% at 50C. Since (Zone 1 Fan Temp Limit) + (Zone 1 Range) = 50C + 8C = 58C, the fan will run at 100% duty cycle when the temperature of the Zone 1 sensor reaches 58C. Since the midpoint of the fan control range is 54C, and the median duty cycle is 75% (Halfway between the PWM Minimum and 100%), PWM1 duty cycle would be 75% at 54C. Above (Zone 1 Fan Temp Limit) + (Zone 1 Range), the duty cycle will be 100%.

Automatic Fan Speed Control using Maximum PWM Setting
The previously described and illustrated mode had no restriction on the maximum PWM setting. It is useful to limit the maximum PWM command sent to the fan in order to minimize the acoustic impact. The Maximum PWM setting will clamp the automatic fan PWM command at a user selected value. The Absolute Limit setting will still cause the PWM command to be 100% and that will remain until the temperature falls below the Absolute Limit temperature by an amount equal to the hysteresis setting. This will minimize the acoustic impact of having a temperature moving back and forth close to the Absolute Limit. The Absolute Limit may be set above or below the Fan Temp Limit plus Range. The PWM value will be overridden and will follow the hysteresis curve in either case, but the acoustic impact will be different, running the fan to 100% PWM at a lower temperature, but enhancing the cooling effect. Absolute Limit set on the low end is shown in Figure 6. Setting it above is shown in Figure 8. It is important to consider the combination of Fan Temp Limit, Range, Maximum PWM and Absolute Limit and their impact on cooling and acoustics. In addition, the capability to operate a fan from a combination of thermal zones allows a compound linear slope to be achieved for further optimization.

The BIOS will follow the following steps to configure the fan registers on the aSC7611. The registers corresponding to each function are listed. All steps may not be necessary if default values are acceptable. Regardless of all changes made by the BIOS to the fan limit and parameter registers during configuration, the aSC7611 will continue to operate based on default values until the START bit (bit 0), in the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register (address 40h), is set. Once the fan mode is updated, by setting the START bit to 1, the aSC7611 will operate using the values that were set by the BIOS in the fan control limit and parameter registers (address in the range 5Ch through 75h). 1.

In Auto Fan Mode, when the temperature for a zone is above the Temperature Limit (Registers 67-69h) and below its Absolute Temperature Limit (Registers 6A-6Ch), the speed of a fan assigned to that zone is determined as follows: When the temperature reaches the Fan Temp Limit for a zone, the PWM output assigned to that zone will be Fan PWM Minimum. Between Fan Temp Limit and (Fan Temp Limit + Range), the PWM duty cycle will increase linearly according to the temperature as shown in the figure below. The PWM duty cycle will be 100% at (Fan Temp Limit + Range). PWM frequency - FRQ[3:0] and HLFRQ The PWM frequency bits [3:0] determine the PWM frequency for the fan. The aSC7611 has high and low frequency ranges for the PWM outputs that are controlled by the HLFRQ bit. PWM Frequency Selection (Default = 0011 30 Hz).

Description
When software writes a 1 to this bit, the aSC7611 fan monitoring and PWM output control functions will use the values set in the fan control limit and parameter registers (addresses 30-32h and 5Fh through 61h). Before this bit is set, the aSC7611 will not update the used register values, the default values will remain in effect. Whenever this bit is set to 0, the aSC7611 fan monitoring and PWM output control functions use the default fan limits and parameters, regardless of the current values in the limit and parameter registers (addresses 30-32h and 5Fh through 61h). The aSC7611 will preserve the values currently stored in the limit and parameter registers when this bit set or cleared. This bit is not affected by the state of the Lock bit. It is expected that all limit and parameter registers will be set by BIOS or application software prior to setting this bit.

Setting this bit to 1 locks specified limit and parameter registers. WARNING: Once this bit is set, limit and parameter registers become read-only and will remain locked until the device is powered off. This register bit becomes read-only once it is set. The aSC7611 sets this bit automatically after the part is fully powered up, has completed the power-up-reset process, and after all A/D converters are properly functioning. If this bit is set to 1, all PWM outputs will go to 100% duty cycle regardless of whether or not the lock bit is set. The OVRID bit has precedence over the disabled mode. Therefore, when OVRID is set the PWM will go to 100% even if the PWM is in the disabled mode. Reserved

The Current PWM Duty registers store the current duty cycle at each PWM output. At initial power-on, the PWM duty cycle is 100% and thus, when read, this register will return FFh. After the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Start bit is set, this register and the PWM signals will be updated based on the algorithm described in the Auto Fan Control Operating Mode section. When Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Start bit is zero, default value (FFh) is used. When read, the Current PWM Duty registers return the current PWM duty cycle. These registers are read-only unless the fan is in manual (test) mode, in which case a write to these registers will directly control the PWM duty cycle for each fan. The PWM duty cycle is represented as shown in Table 10. If a 3-wire fan is being used and the option to enable 3-wire tach measurement is selected, the effective PWM duty cycle will be impacted by this feature. The 3-wire Enable setting will hold the PWM signal high for the period taken to make a tachometer reading. This period depends on the RPM and various tachometer measurement parameters. Overall impact is that lower PWM commands will be effectively increased and there may be acoustic effects.

Bits [7:5] Zone/Mode Bits [7:5] of the Fan Configuration registers associate each fan with a temperature sensor. When in Auto Fan Mode the fan will be assigned to a zone, and its PWM duty cycle will be adjusted according to the temperature of that zone. If "Hottest" option is selected (110), the fan will be controlled by the the hottest of zones 1, 2 or 3. To determine the "hottest zone", the PWM level for each zone is calculated then the zone with the higher PWM value (not temperature) is selected. When in manual control mode, the Current PWM duty register (30-32h) become Read/Write. It is then possible to control the PWM outputs with software by writing to these registers. When the fan is disabled (100) the corresponding PWM output should be driven low (or high, if inverted). Zone 1: Remote Diode 1 (processor), Zone 2: Internal Sensor, Zone 3 : Remote Diode 2

The OFF1-OFF3 (Bits 7 to 5) specifiy whether the duty cycle will be 0% or Minimum Fan Duty when the measured temperature falls below the Temperature LIMIT register setting (see Table 15 below). If the Remote pins are connected to a processor or chipset, instantaneous temperature spikes may be sampled by the aSC7611. Fan speed algorithm has two phases of filtering on temperature zone readings. First, a "No-Spike" value is created from the current temperature and three previous readings. This is an average of the two remaining values when the high and low values are removed. This is the temperature used to determine PWM and is always running. The second phase is a user specified filter and coefficient. This filter determines a smoothed temperature value, Smooth Ti, by taking the No-Spike Ti, subtracting the previous smoothed temperature, Smooth Ti-1, divided by 2^N and adding that to the previously smoothed temperature. N and GAIN are coefficients selected internally to provide the spike filter smoothing time constants shown in Table 14, designated ZN1-2:ZN1-0 for Zone 1, ZN2-2:ZN2-0 for Zone 2 and ZN3-2:ZN3-0 for Zone 3. For the current temperature reading Ti: No-Spike Ti = (Discard min and max of (Ti, Ti-1, Ti-2, Ti-3))/2 Smooth Ti = GAIN * (No-Spike Ti - Smooth Ti-1)/2N + Smooth Ti-1 If these spikes are not filtered, the CPU fan (if connected to aSC7611) may turn on prematurely or produce unpleasant noise. For this reason, any zone that is connected to a chipset or processor should have spike smoothing enabled. Individual system characteristics will determine how large this coefficient should be. When spike smoothing is enabled, the temperature reading registers will still reflect the current value of the temperature - not the "smoothed out" value. ZN1E, ZN2E and ZN3E enable temperature smoothing for zones 1, 2 and 3 respectively. ZN1-2, ZN1-1 and ZN1-0 control smoothing time for Zone 1. ZN2-2, ZN2-1 and ZN2-0 control smoothing time for Zone 2. ZN3-2, ZN3-1 and ZN3-0 control smoothing time for Zone 3.

In the Auto Fan mode, if a zone exceeds the temperature set in the Absolute Temperature Limit register, all of the PWM outputs will increase its duty cycle to 100%. This is a safety feature that attempts to cool the system if there is a potentially catastrophic thermal event. If set to 80h (-128C), the feature is disabled. Default = 100 C = 64h. The PWM will remain at 100% until the assigned zone temperature falls below the Absolute Temp Limit for that zone by an amount equal to the hysteresis value for that zone.

Applications Information
Remote Diodes
The aSC7611 is designed to work with a variety of remote sensors in the form of the substrate thermal diode of a CPU or graphics controller or a diode-connected transistor. Actual diodes are not suited for these measurements. There is some variation in the performance of these diodes, described in terms of its departure from the ideal diode equation. This factor is called diode nonideality, nf . The equation relating diode temperature to a change in thermal diode voltage with two driving currents is: Although the temperature error caused by non-ideality difference is directly proportional to the difference from 1.008, but a small difference in non-ideality results in a relatively large difference in temperature reading. For example, if there were a 1% tolerance in the non-Ideality of a diode it would result in a 2.7 degree difference (at 0C) in the result (0.01 x 273.15). This difference varies with temperature such that a fixed offset value may only be used over a very narrow range. Typical correction method required when measuring a wide range of temperature values is to scale the temperature reading in the host firmware.

The aSC7611 is designed and trimmed for an expected nf value of 1.009, based on the typical value for the Intel PentiumTM III and AMD AthlonTM. There is also a tolerance on the value provided. The values for other CPUs and the 2N3904 may have different nominal values and tolerances. Consult the CPU or GPU manufacturer's data sheet for the nf factor. Table 20 gives a representative sample of what one may expect in the range of non-ideality. The trend with CPUs is for a lower value with a larger spread. When thermal diode has a non-ideality factor other than 1.009 the difference in temperature reading at a particular temperature may be interpreted with the following equation:

A substrate diode is a parasitic PNP transistor that has its collector tied to ground through the substrate and the base (Remote -) and emitter (Remote +) brought out to pins. Connection to these pins is shown in Figure 11. The non-ideality figures in Table 20 include the effects of any package resistance and represent the value seen from the CPU socket.

Series Resistance
Any external series resistance in the connections from the aSC7611 to the CPU pins should be accounted for in interpreting the results of a measurement. The impact of series resistance on the measured temperature is a result of measurement currents developing offset voltages that add to the diode voltage. This is relatively constant with temperature and may be corrected with a fixed value in the offset register. To determine the temperature impact of resistance is as follows:
TR = RS x I D / TV or, TR = RS x 90A = RS x 0.391C / 230V / C
transistor's die temperature is usually not the temperature of interest and care must be taken to minimize the thermal resistance and physical distance between that temperature and the remote diode. The offset and response time will need to be characterized by the user.
Board Layout Considerations
The distance between the remote sensor and the aSC7611 should be minimized. All wiring should be defended from high frequency noise sources and a balanced differential layout maintained on Remote + and Remote -. Any noise, both common-mode and differential, induced in the remote diode interconnect may result in an offset in the temperature reported. Circuit board layout should follow the recommendation of Figure 13. Basically, use 10-mil lines and spaces with grounds on each side of the differential pair. Choose the ground plane closest to the CPU when using the CPU's remote diode. 10 mil Line 10 mil Space GND Remote + Remote GND

where:
TR = difference in the temperature reading from actual. RS = total series resistance of interconnect (both leads). I D = difference in the two diode current levels (90A). TV = scale of temperature vs. VBE (230V/C).
For example, a total series resistance of 10 would give an offset of +3.9C.
Discrete Remote Diodes
When sensing temperatures other than the CPU or GPU substrate, an NPN or PNP transistor may be used. Most commonly used are the 2N3904 and 2N3906. These have characteristics similar to the CPU substrate diode with non-ideality around 1.0046. They are connected with base to collector shorted as shown in Figure 12. While it is important to minimize the distance to the remote diode to reduce high-frequency noise pickup, they may be located many feet away with proper shielding. Shielded, twisted-pair cable is recommended, with the shield connected only at the aSC7611 end as close as possible to the ground pin of the device.
Remote +
Figure 13 Recommended Remote Diode Circuit Board Interconnect
Noise filtering is accomplished by using a bypass capacitor placed as close as possible to the two pairs of aSC7611 Remote + and Remote - pins. A 1.0nF ceramic capacitor is recommended, but up to 3.3nF may be used. Additional filtering takes place within the aSC7611. It is recommended that the following guidelines be used to minimize noise and achieve highest accuracy: 1. Place a 0.1F bypass capacitor to digital ground as close as possible to the power pin of the aSC7611. Match the trace routing of the Remote + and Remote - leads and use a 1.0nF filter capacitor close to the aSC7611. Use ground runs along side the pair to minimize differential coupling as in Figure 13. Place the aSC7611 as close to the CPU or GPU remote diode leads as possible to minimize noise and series resistance. Avoid running diode connections close to or in parallel with high-speed busses or 12V, staying at least 2cm away. Avoid running diode connections close to on-board switching power supply inductors.

Thermal Considerations
The temperature of the aSC7611 will be close to that of the PC board on which it is mounted. Conduction through the leads is the primary path for heat flow. The reported local sensor is very close to the circuit board temperature and typically between the board and ambient. In order to measure PC board temperature in an area of interest, such as the area around the CPU where voltage regulator components generate significant heat, a remote diode-connected transistor should be used. A surfacemount SOT-23 or SOT-223 is recommended. The small size is advantageous in minimizing response time because of its low thermal mass, but at the same time it has low surface area and a high thermal resistance to ambient air. A compromise must be achieved between minimizing thermal mass and increasing the surface area to lower the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. In order to sense temperature of air-flows near boardmounted heat sources, such as memory modules, the sensor should be mounted above the PC board. A TO-92 packaged transistor is recommended. The power consumption of the aSC7611 is relatively low and should have little self-heating effect on the local sensor reading. At the highest measurement rate the dissipation is less than 2mW, resulting in only a few tenths of a degree rise.

The aSC7611 may be easily adapted to two-, three- or 4wire fans for precise, wider-range fan speed control when compared to variable DC drive. Up to four fans may be controlled. Fans 1 and 2 are independent. Fan 3 is independent and may be tied to fan 4 for speed control. Separate tachometer readings may be reported for all four. Application diagram in Figure 14 shows connections to four 4-wire fans. External FETs may be added to the PWM output to drive 3-wire fans.
Evaluation Board
The Andigilog SMBus EVB provides a platform for evaluation of the operational characteristics of the aSC7511, aSC7512 and aSC7611. The board features a graphical user interface (GUI) to control and monitor all activities and readings of these parts. The provided software will run on a Windows XPTM-based desktop or laptop PC with a USB port. In addition to being a self-contained fan speed control demonstration, it may be connected into an operating PC's fan and CPU diode to evaluate various settings under real operating conditions without the need to adjust
