Product Description
The aSC7512 has a two wire digital interface compatible
with SMBus 2.0. Using a 10-bit
ΣΔ-
ADC, the aSC7512
measures the temperature of a remote diode connected
transistor as well as its own die.
Using temperature information from these two zones, an
automatic fan speed control algorithm is employed to
minimize acoustic impact while achieving recommended
CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
To set fan speed, the aSC7512 has a pulse width
modulation (PWM) output that is controlled by one of two
temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM
ranges are supported. The aSC7512 also includes a digital
filter that can be invoked to smooth temperature readings
for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
impact. The aSC7512 has a tachometer input to measure
fan speed or alternatively, an alert pin that may be
triggered by exceeding a temperature limit setting. Limit
and status registers for all measured values are included to
alert the system host that any measurements are outside of
programmed limits.

System Management Bus Clock. Tied to Open-drain output.
5V tolerant, SMBus 2.0 compliant.
+3.3V pin. Can be powered by +3.3V Standby power if
monitoring in low power states is required. This pin should
be bypassed with a 0.1μF capacitor in parallel with 100pF
Ground for all analog and digital circuitry.
Positive input (current source) from the remote thermal
diode serves as the positive input into the A/D. Connected
to the anode of a CPU thermal diode or the base-collector of
a diode connected MMBT3904 NPN transistor.
Negative input (current sink) from the remote thermal diode
serves as the negative input into the A/D. Connected to
cathode of a CPU thermal diode or the emitter of a diode
connected MMBT3904 NPN transistor.
Input for monitoring tachometer output of fan (default) or

1. Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which
operation may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only; functional operation at or
above these limits is not implied.
2. When the input voltage (V
IN
) at any pin exceeds the
power supplies (V
IN
< GND or V
IN
> V
DD
), the current at
that pin should be limited to 5mA. The 20mA maximum
package input current rating limits the number of pins
that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input
current of 5mA to four. Parasitic components and/or
ESD protection circuitry are present on the aSC7512
pins. Care should be taken not to forward bias the
parasitic diode present on pins D+ and D-. Doing so by
more than 50mV may corrupt temperature
measurements.

4. Human Body Model: 100pF capacitor discharged
