are the Remote 1 and Remote 2 Temperature High and Low
status bits. Exceeding the high or low temperature limits for
the external channel sets these status bits. Reading the status
register clears these bits. However, these bits are reasserted
if the out−of−limit condition still exists on the next
monitoring cycle. Bit 6 and Bit 7 are the Local Temperature
High and Low status bits. These behave exactly the same as
the Remote Temperature High and Low status bits. Bit 4 of
Status Register 1 indicates that the Remote Temperature
THERM limit has been exceeded. This bit gets cleared on a
read of Status Register 1 (see Figure 20). Bit 5 indicates a
remote diode error. This bit is a 1 if a short or open is detected
on the remote temperature channel on powerup. If this bit is
set to 1 on powerup, it cannot be cleared. Bit 6 of Status
Register 2 (0×03) indicates that the Local THERM limit has
been exceeded. This bit is cleared on a read of Status
Register 2. Bit 7 indicates that THERM has been pulled low
as an input. This bit can also be cleared on a read of Status
Register 2.
THERM. Once a critical temperature THERM limit is
exceeded, both INT and THERM assert low. Reading the
status registers clears the interrupt and the INT pin goes
high. However, the THERM pin remains asserted until the
measured temperature falls 5°C below the exceeded
THERM limit. This feature can be used to CPU throttle or
drive a fan full speed for maximum cooling. Note that the
INT pin for that interrupt source is not rearmed until the
temperature has fallen below the THERM limit –5°C. This
prevents unnecessary interrupts from tying up valuable CPU
resources.
Fan Control Modes of Operation
These modes determine the behavior of the system.

on−chip diode−connected transistor on a CPU. These three
temperature channels can be used as the basis for an
automatic fan speed control loop to drive fans using pulse
width modulation (PWM).

and run at minimum speed. The fan only turns on once the
temperature being measured rises above the T
programmed. The fan spins up for a predetermined time
(default = 2 seconds). See the Fan Spin−Up section for more
details.
