GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT74601 dBCOOL controller is a thermal monitor and
multiple PWM fan controller for noise-sensitive applications
requiring active system cooling. It can monitor the temperature
of up to two remote sensor diodes plus its own internal temperature. It can measure and control the speed of up to four fans
so that they operate at the lowest possible speed for minimum
acoustic noise. The automatic fan speed control loop optimizes
fan speed for a given temperature. A unique dynamic T
control mode enables the system thermals/acoustics to be
intelligently managed. The effectiveness of the system’s thermal
solution can be monitored using the
THERM
ADT7460 also provides critical thermal protection to the
system by using the bidirectional
THERM
to prevent system or component overheating.

ADT7460
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADT7460 is a thermal monitor and multiple fan controller
for any system requiring monitoring and cooling. The device
communicates with the system via a serial System Management
Bus (SMBus). The serial bus controller has an optional address
line for device selection (Pin 9), a serial data line for reading
and writing addresses and data (Pin 16), and an input line for
the serial clock (Pin 1). All control and programming functions
of the ADT7460 are performed over the serial bus. In addition,
two of the pins can be reconfigured as an
SMBALERT
output to
indicate out-of-limit conditions.
MEASUREMENT INPUTS
The device has three measurement inputs, one for voltage and
two for temperature. It can also measure its own supply voltage
and can measure ambient temperature with its on-chip
temperature sensor.
Pin 14 is an analog input with an on-chip attenuator and is
configured to monitor 2.5 V.
SEQUENTIAL MEASUREMENT
When the ADT7460 monitoring sequence is started, it cycles
sequentially through the measurement of 2.5 V input and the
temperature sensors. Measured values from these inputs are
stored in value registers. These can be read out over the serial
bus or can be compared with programmed limits stored in the
limit registers. The results of out-of-limit comparisons are
stored in the status registers, which can be read over the serial
bus to flag out-of-limit conditions.
RECOMMENDED IMPLEMENTATION
Configuring the ADT7460 as in Figure 13 allows the systems
designer the following features:
• Two PWM outputs for fan control of up to three fans (the
front and rear chassis fans are connected in parallel).
• Three TACH fan speed measurement inputs.
• V
measured internally through Pin 3.
CC
Power is supplied to the chip via Pin 3, and the system also
monitors V
through this pin. In PCs, this pin is normally
CC
connected to a 3.3 V standby supply. This pin can, however, be
connected to a 5 V supply and monitor it without overranging.
Remote temperature sensing is provided by the D1± and D2±
inputs, to which diode-connected, external temperature-sensing
transistors, such as a 2N3904 or CPU thermal diode, may be
connected.
The ADC also accepts input from an on-chip band gap
temperature sensor, which monitors system ambient
temperature.

This register contains the address that selects one of the other internal registers. When writing to the ADT7460, the
first byte of data is always a register address, which is written to the address pointer register.
These registers provide the status of each limit comparison and are used to signal out-of-limit conditions on the

These registers allow each interrupt status event to be masked when Pin 14 or Pin 5 is configured as an

The results of analog voltage input, temperature, and fan speed measurements are stored in these registers, along
with their limit values.
These registers allow each temperature channel reading to be offset by a twos complement value written to these
registers.
These registers program the starting temperature for each fan under automatic fan speed control.
These registers program the temperature-to-fan speed control slope in automatic fan speed control mode for each
PWM output.
These registers define the target operating temperatures for each thermal zone when running under dynamic T

THEORY OF OPERATION
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADT7460 is carried out using the serial System
Management Bus (SMBus). The ADT7460 is connected to this
bus as a slave device, under the control of a master controller.
The ADT7460 has a 7-bit serial bus address. When the device is
powered up with Pin 8 (PWM3/
ADDRESS ENABLE
ADT7460 has a default SMBus address of 0101110 or 0x2E. If
more than one ADT7460 is to be used in a system, each ADT7460
should be placed in address select mode by strapping Pin 8 low
on power-up. The logic state of Pin 9 then determines the
device’s SMBus address. The logic state of these pins is sampled
on power-up.
The device address is sampled and latched on the first valid
SMBus transaction, more precisely, on the low-to-high
transition at the beginning of the eighth SCL pulse, when the
serial address byte matches the selected slave address. The
selected slave address is chosen using the
ADDRESS ENABLE
/ADDRESS SELECT pins. Any attempted changes in the
address has no effect after this.

2.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an Acknowledge bit
from the slave device. Transitions on the data line must occ
during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable
during the high period, as a low-to-high transition when the
clock is high may be interpreted as a st
op signal. The number
of data bytes that can be transmitted over the serial bus in a
single read or write operation is limited only by what the
master and slave devices can handle.
3. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditio
are established. In write
mode, the master pulls the data line
high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In
read mode, the master device overrides the acknowledge bit
by pulling the data line high during the low period
before the
ninth clock pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The
master then takes the data line low during the low period
before the 10th clock pulse, then high during the 10th clock
pulse to assert a stop condition.
Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write
in one operation because the type of operation is determined at

In the case of the ADT7460, write operations contain either one
or two bytes, and read operations contain one byte.
To write data to one of the device data re
gisters or read data
from it, the address pointer register must be set so that the
correct data register is addressed. Then data can be written in
that register or read from it. The first byte of a write operation
always contains an address that is stored in the address pointer
register. If data is to be written to the device, the write operation
contains a second data byte that is written to the register
selected by the addres

llustrated in Figure 18. The device address is sent over

being set to 0. This is followed by two

data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the internal data
register to be written to, which is stored in the address pointer
register. The second data byte is the data to be written to the
internal data register.

ADT7460
When reading data from a register, there are two possibilities:
•If the ADT7460’s address pointer register value is unknown
or not the desired value, it is first necessary to set it to the
correct value before data can be read from the desired data
register. This is done by performing a write to the ADT7460
as before, but only the data byte containing the register
address is sent because data is not to be written to the
register. This is shown in Figure 19.
A read operation is then performed, consisting of the serial
bus address, R/
bit set to 1, followed by the data byte
W
read from the data register. This is shown in Figure 20.
•If the address pointer register is known to be already at the
desired address, data can be read from the corresponding
data register without first writing to the address pointer
register, so Figure 19 can be omitted.
It is possible to read a data byte from a data register without first
writing to the address pointer register if the address pointer
register is already at the correct value. However, it is not possible
to write data to a register without writing to the address pointer
register because the first data byte of a write is always written to
the address pointer register.
In Figure 18 to Figure 20, the serial bus address is shown as the
default value 01011(A1)(A0), where A1 and A0 are set by the
address select mode function previously defined.
In addition to supporting the Send Byte and Receive Byte
protocols, the ADT7460 also supports the Read Byte protocol
(see System Management Bus specifications Rev. 2.0 for more
information).

If it is required to perform several read or write operations in
succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead
of a stop condition to begin a new operation.
Write Operations
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The ones used in the
ADT7460 are discussed below. The following abbreviations are
used in the diagrams:
S—start
P—sto p
R—read
W—wr it e
A—ack nowledge
—no acknowledge
A
The ADT7460 uses the following SMBus write protocols:
Send Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a single command
byte to a slave device as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends the register address.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
transaction ends.

5. Once the ADT7460 has responded to the alert response

away.

ADT7460
SMBus Timeout
The ADT7460 includes an SMBus timeout feature. If there is no
SMBus activity for 25 ms, the ADT7460 assumes that the bus is
locked and releases the bus. This prevents the device from
locking or holding the SMBus expecting data. Some SMBus
controllers cannot handle the SMBus timeout feature, so it can
be disabled.
The ADT7460 has one external voltage measurement channel.
It can also measure its own supply voltage, V
Pin 14 may be configured to measure a 2.5 V supply. The V
supply voltage measurement is carried out through the V
(Pin 3). Setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40)
allows a 5 V supply to power the ADT7460 and be measured
without overranging the V
measurement channel. The 2.5 V
CC
input can be used to monitor a chipset supply voltage in
computer systems.
Analog-to-Digital Converter
All analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter. This has a resolution
of 10 bits. The basic input range is 0 V to 2.25 V, but the input
has built-in attenuators to allow measurement of 2.5 V without
any external components. To allow the tolerance of the supply
voltage, the ADC produces an output of 3/4 full scale (768d or
0x300) for the nominal input voltage and so has adequate
headroom to deal with overvoltages.

Input Circuitry
The internal structure for the 2.5 V analog input is shown in
Figure 24. The input circuit consists of an input protection
diode, an attenuator, plus a capacitor to form a first-order lowpass filter that gives the input immunity to high frequency
noise.

Associated with the voltage measurement channels are a high

Table 9 shows the input ranges of the analog inputs and output
codes of the 10-bit ADC.
When the ADC is running, it samples and converts a voltage
input in 711 µs and averages 16 conversions to reduce noise; a
measurement takes nominally 11.38 ms.
The VCC output codes listed assume that VCC is 3.3 V. If VCC input is reconfigured for 5 V operation (by setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1), the VCC output codes are
the same as for the 5 V
column.
