NCT7491
Remote Thermal Monitor and Fan Controller with PECI 3.0 Interface and SMBus Compatible Master
The NCT7491 is a two−wire serially programmable hardware monitor. It can monitor 2 remote temperature zones and its own ambient temperature. A PECI 3.0 single wire interface allows the NCT7491 to monitor CPU temperatures. The NCT7491 also implements an SMBus compatible master, allowing it to read automatically from thermal sensors on the SMBus. The NCT7491 can automatically control the speed of 3 fans using PWM control, and monitor the speed of 4 fans. There are 4 analog inputs, used for measuring 12 V, 5 V, 2.5 V and Vccp channels. The NCT7491 supply voltage and PECI VTT voltage are also monitored.
