LM96000
Hardware Monitor with Integrated Fan Control
General Description
The LM96000, hardware monitor, has a two wire digital
interface compatible with SMBus 2.0. Using an 8-bit Σ∆
ADC, the LM96000 measures:
– the temperature of two remote diode connected transis-
tors as well as its own die
– the VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3VSBY, 5.0V, and 12V supplies (in-
ternal scaling resistors).
To set fan speed, the LM96000 has three PWM outputs that
are each controlled by one of three temperature zones. High
and low PWM frequency ranges are supported. The
LM96000 includes a digital filter that can be invoked to
smooth temperature readings for better control of fan speed.
The LM96000 has four tachometer inputs to measure fan
speed. Limit and status registers for all measured values are
included.
