PRODUCT FEATURES
Datasheet
General Description
The EMC2106 is an SMBus compliant fan controller with
up to five (up to 4 external and 1 internal) temperature
channels. The fan drivers can be operated using two
methods each with two modes. The methods include an
RPM based Fan Speed Control Algorithm and a direct
drive setting. The modes include manually programming
the desired settings or using the internal programmable
temperature look-up table to select the desired setting
based on measured temperature.
The temperature monitors offer 1°C accuracy (for
external diodes) with sophisticated features to reduce
errors introduced by series resistance and beta variation
of substrate thermal diode transistors commonly found
in processors.
The EMC2106 also includes a hardware programmable
temperature limitS and dedicated system shutdown
output for thermal protection of critical circuitry.
