Analog Monitoring Cycle Time
The analog monitoring cycle begins when a 1 is written to the
start bit (Bit 0) of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 0x40). The ADC
measures each analog input in turn and as each measurement is
completed, the result is automatically stored in the appropriate
value register. This round-robin monitoring cycle continues
unless disabled by writing a 0 to Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1.
As the ADC will normally be left to free-run in this manner, the
time taken to monitor all the analog inputs will normally not be
of interest, as the most recently measured value of any input can
be read out at any time.
For applications where the monitoring cycle time is important,
it can easily be calculated.
The total number of channels measured is:
∑ Four dedicated supply voltage inputs
∑ 3.3 V
∑ Local temperature
∑ Two remote temperatures
As mentioned previously, the ADC performs round-robin
conversions and takes 11.38 ms for each voltage measurement,
12 ms for a local temperature reading, and 25.5 ms for each remote
temperature reading.
The total monitoring cycle time for averaged voltage and tempera-
ture monitoring is therefore nominally
Fan TACH measurements are made in parallel and are not
synchronized with the analog measurements in any way.
Status Registers
The results of limit comparisons are stored in Status Registers 1
and 2. The status register bit for each channel reflects the status
of the last measurement and limit comparison on that channel.
If a measurement is within limits, the corresponding status register
bit will be cleared to 0. If the measurement is out-of-limits, the
corresponding status register bit will be set to 1.
The state of the various measurement channels may be polled
by reading the status registers over the serial bus. In Bit 7 (OOL)
of Status Register 1 (Reg. 0x41), 1 means that an out-of-limit
event has been flagged in Status Register 2. This means that a
user need only read Status Register 2 when this bit is set. Alter-
natively, Pin 10 or Pin 22 can be configured as an SMBALERT
output. This will automatically notify the system supervisor of
an out-of-limit condition. Reading the status registers clears the
appropriate status bit as long as the error condition that caused
the interrupt has cleared. Status register bits are “sticky.” When-
ever a status bit gets set, indicating an out-of-limit condition,
it will remain set even if the event that caused it has gone away
(until read). The only way to clear the status bit is to read the
status register after the event has gone away. Interrupt status
mask registers (Reg. 0x74, 0x75) allow individual interrupt
sources to be masked from causing an SMBALERT. However,
if one of these masked interrupt sources goes out-of-limit, its
associated status bit will get set in the interrupt status registers.
