SMBus-Compatible Temperature Monitor with Automatic PWM Fan-Speed Controller
General Description
The MAX6641 temperature sensor and fan controller accurately measures the temperature of its own die and the temperature of a remote pn junction. The device reports temperature values in digital form using a 2-wire serial interface. The remote pn junction is typically the emitter-base junction of a common-collector pnp on a CPU, FPGA, or ASIC. The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System Management Bus (SMBus) TM write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte commands to read the temperature data and program the alarm thresholds.
