13 | Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog: | ||
14 | |||
15 | Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as | ||
16 | Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has | ||
17 | added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the | ||
18 | Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in | ||
19 | volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs. | ||
20 | |||
21 | We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel | ||
22 | specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We | ||
23 | have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition | ||
24 | to those in the Intel-specified vendor range. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes. | ||
27 | The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan | ||
28 | PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a | ||
29 | high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the | ||
30 | next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low | ||
31 | byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data | ||
32 | sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits | ||
33 | are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We | ||
34 | chose not to mask them. | ||
35 | |||
36 | We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the | ||
37 | data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth | ||
38 | when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution | ||
39 | temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user | ||
40 | intervention. | ||
41 | |||
42 | We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain | ||
43 | outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm | ||
44 | outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah. | ||
45 | |||
46 | We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any | ||
47 | temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment | ||
48 | that follows Intel's specs. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of | ||
51 | a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no | ||
52 | indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone | ||
53 | is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register | ||
54 | 00h. | ||
55 | |||
56 | Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such | ||
57 | that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine | ||
58 | PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes. | ||
59 | |||
60 | PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per | ||
61 | PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI | ||
62 | address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone | ||
63 | assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default | ||
64 | Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with | ||
65 | individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control. | ||
66 | This is in register 0Eh. | ||
67 | |||
68 | The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many | ||
69 | fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans | ||
70 | may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h. | ||
71 | |||
72 | Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach | ||
73 | measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is | ||
74 | in register 75h. | ||
75 | |||

77 | aSC7621 Product Description | ||
78 | |||
79 | The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0. | ||
80 | Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode | ||
81 | connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform | ||
82 | Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included. | ||
83 | |||
84 | Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed | ||
85 | control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving | ||
86 | recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads. | ||
87 | |||
88 | To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation | ||
89 | (PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three, | ||
90 | temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported. | ||
91 | |||
92 | The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth | ||
93 | temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic | ||
94 | impact. | ||
95 | |||
96 | The aSC7621 has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four fans. | ||
97 | Limit and status registers for all measured values are included to alert | ||
98 | the system host that any measurements are outside of programmed limits | ||
99 | via status registers. | ||
100 | |||
101 | System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are | ||
102 | monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors. | ||
103 | |||
