FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM87 is a highly integrated data acquisition

Remote diode temperature sensing (2
system for hardware monitoring of servers, Personal
channels)
Computers, or virtually any microprocessor-based
8 positive voltage inputs with scaling resistors
system. In a PC, the LM87 can be used to monitor
for monitoring +5 V, +12 V, +3.3 V, +2.5 V,
power supply voltages, motherboard and processor
Vccp power supplies directly
temperatures, and fan speeds. Actual values for
these inputs can be read at any time. Programmable
2 inputs selectable for fan speed or voltage
WATCHDOG limits in the LM87 activate a fully

programmable and maskable interrupt system with
8-bit DAC output for controlling fan speed
