LM85
Hardware Monitor with Integrated Fan Control
General Description
The LM85, hardware monitor, has a two wire digital interface
compatible with SMBus 2.0. Using an 8-bit Σ∆ ADC, the
LM85 measures:
– the temperature of two remote diode connected transis-
tors as well as its own die
– the V
CCP
, 2.5V, 3.3VSBY, 5.0V, and 12V supplies (inter-
nal scaling resistors).
To set fan speed, the LM85 has three PWM outputs that are
each controlled by one of three temperature zones. The
LM85 includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
temperature readings for better control of fan speed. The
LM85 has four tachometer inputs to measure fan speed.
Limit and status registers for all measured values are in-
cluded.
