Description
-----------
The MAX31760 integrates temperature sensing along with precision PWM fan
control. It accurately measures its local die temperature and the remote
temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor, such as a 2N3906,
or a thermal diode commonly found on CPUs, graphics processor units (GPUs),
and other ASICs. Multiple temperature thresholds, such as local
high/overtemperature (OT) and remote high/overtemperature, can be set by an
I2C-compatible interface. Fan speed is controlled based on the temperature
reading as an index to a 48-byte lookup table (LUT) containing
user-programmed PWM values. The flexible LUT-based architecture enables
the user to program a smooth nonlinear fan speed vs. temperature transfer
function to minimize acoustic fan noise. Two tachometer inputs allow
measuring the speeds of two fans independently. When the local or remote
OT threshold is exceeded, the SHDN pin is asserted low and can be used to
shut down the system. A dedicated ALERT pin reports that either a local or
remote high-temperature threshold has been exceeded.
Temperature measurement range: from -55°C to 125°C
Temperature Resolution: 11 Bits, ±0.125°C
