Type
Name and Function/Connection
SMBDAT
7
Digital I/O
(Open-Drain)
System Management Bus Data. Open-drain output. 5V
tolerant, SMBus 2.0 compliant.
SMBCLK
8
Digital Input
System Management Bus Clock. Tied to Open-drain output.
5V tolerant, SMBus 2.0 compliant.
VDD
1
POWER
+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 0.1
μF capacitor in parallel with 100pF
GND
5
GROUND
Ground for all analog and digital circuitry.
D+
2
Remote Thermal Diode
Positive Input
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.
D-
3
Remote Thermal Diode
Negative Input
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.
TACH /
ALERT
6
Digital Input / Digital
Open-Drain Output
Input for monitoring tachometer output of fan (default) or
ALERT
output selectable by configuration register 09h, bit 5.
PWM
4
Digital Open-Drain
Output
Fan speed control, Pulse Width Modulated.
