INTRODUCTION
The ADM1028 evaluation board allows the ADM1028
PC Temperature Monitor and Fan Control ASIC to be
quickly and easily evaluated using a personal computer.
Using the evaluation board and the accompanying
software the ADM1028 can be interfaced to any personal
computer running Windows 95 or Windows 98, via the
computers parallel port.
The evaluation board allows the input and output
functions of the ADM1028 to be exercised without the
need for external components. The software allows control
and monitoring of the ADM1028’s internal registers.
THE ADM1028
The following is a brief description of the ADM1028 and
a system overview. Further information can be found on
the ADM1028 datasheet.
The ADM1028 is a low cost temperature monitor and fan
controller for microprocessor based systems. The device
can measure the temperature of a microprocessor using an
on-chip diode connected transistor or can use a low cost
small signal transistor.
Measured values can be read out via the SMBus and
values for limit comparisons can be programmed in over
the same serial bus.
The ADM1028 also contains a DAC for fan speed
control. An automatic hardware temperature trip point is
provided and the fan will be driven to full speed if it is
exceeded.
The chip also has remote reset and power down
functionality, allowing it to be remotely shut down via the
SMBus.
