ADT7460
dBCOOLR Remote Thermal
Monitor and Fan Controller
The ADT7460 dBCOOL controller is a thermal monitor and
multiple PWM fan controller for noise−sensitive applications
requiring active system cooling. It can monitor the temperature of up
to two remote sensor diodes plus its own internal temperature. It can
measure and control the speed of up to four fans so that they operate at
the lowest possible speed for minimum acoustic noise. The automatic
fan speed control loop optimizes fan speed for a given temperature. A
unique dynamic TMIN control mode enables the system
thermals/acoustics to be intelligently managed. The effectiveness of
the system’s thermal solution can be monitored using the THERM
input. The ADT7460 also provides critical thermal protection to the
system by using the bidirectional THERM pin as an output to prevent
system or component overheating.
