LM81
Serial Interface ACPI-Compatible Microprocessor System
Hardware Monitor
General Description
The LM81 is a highly integrated data acquisition system for
hardware monitoring of servers, Personal Computers, or virtually any microprocessor-based system. In a PC, the LM81
can be used to monitor power supply voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds. Actual values for these inputs can be
read at any time. Programmable WATCHDOG
LM81 activate a fully programmable and maskable interrupt
system with two outputs (INT and T_CRIT_).
The LM81 has an on-chip digital output temperature sensor
with 9-bit or 12-bit resolution, a 6 analog inputADC with 8-bit
resolution and an 8-bit DAC. Two fan tachometer outputs
can be measured with the LM81’s FAN1 and FAN2 inputs.
The DAC, witha0to1.25V output voltage range, can be
used for fan speed control. Additional inputs are provided for
Chassis Intrusion detection circuits, and VID monitor inputs.
The LM81 has a Serial Bus interface that is compatible with

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LM81 provides 6 analog inputs, a temperature sensor, a
Delta-Sigma ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), a DAC output, 2 fan speed counters, WATCHDOG registers, and a variety of inputs and outputs on a single chip. A two wire Serial
Bus interface is included. The LM81 performs power supply,
temperature, fan control and fan monitoring for personal
computers.
The analog inputs are useful for monitoring several power
supplies present in a typical computer. The LM81 includes
internal resistor dividers that scale and/or offset external
Vccp, +2.5V, +3.3V, +5.0V and +12V power supply voltages
to a 3/4 scale nominal ADC output. The LM81 ADC then continuously converts the scaled inputs to 8-bit digital words.
Measurement of negative voltages (such as -5V and -12V
power supplies) can be accommodated with an external resistor divider applied to the Vccp2 input. Temperature is converted to a 9-bit or 12-bit two’s-complement digital word with
a 0.5˚C LSB or 0.0625˚C LSB, respectively.
Fan inputs measure the period of tachometer pulses from
the fans, providing a higher count for lower fan speeds. The
fan inputs are Schmitt-Trigger digital inputs with an acceptable range of 0V to V
+
V
/2. Full scale fan counts are 255 (8-bit counter) and this
represents a stopped or very slow fan. Nominal speeds,
based on a count of 153, are programmable from 1100 to
8800 RPM on FAN1 and FAN2. Schmitt-Trigger input circuitry is included to accommodate slow rise and fall times. A
0V to 1.25V DAC output voltage range can be used for control of fan speed.
The LM81 has several internal registers, as shown in

(temperature, voltages, fan counts), WATCHDOG limits,
and Company/Stepping IDs are all contained in the Value
RAM. The Value RAM consists of a total of 34 bytes, addresses 15h - 3Fh, containing:
— byte 1 at address 15h a manufacturers test register
— locations 16h - 18h are unassigned and do not have
associated registers
— byte 2 at address 19h contains the DAC Data Register
— locations 1Ah - 1Fh are unassigned and do not have
associated registers
— the next 10 bytes at addresses 20h -29h contain all of
the results, with address 26h reserved
— the next 18 bytes at addresses 2Bh-3Ch are the
WATCHDOG limits
— the last 2 bytes at addresses 3Eh and 3Fh contain the
Company ID and Stepping ID numbers, respectively
When the LM81 is started, it cycles through each measurement in sequence, and it continuously loops through the sequence approximately once every 400 ms. Each measured
value is compared to values stored in WATCHDOG, or Limit
registers. When the measured value violates the programmed limit the LM81 will set a corresponding Interrupt in
the Interrupt Status Registers. The hardware Interrupt line

control bit to enable or disable the hardware Interrupt. Another hardware Interrupt line available T_CRIT_A (Critical
Temperature Alarm Output) is used to signal a catastrophic
overtemperature event. Having a dedicated interrupt for this

purpose allows for the fastest possible response time to a
thermal runaway event. This output can be enabled by setting bit 4 of Extended Mode Register 1.
The Chassis Intrusion input is designed to accept an active
high signal from an external circuit that latches when the
case is removed from the computer.
