temperatures can be copied into the operating point registers
on a THERM assertion. Setting these bits to 1 uses the
remote temperature as the operating point temperature,
overwriting the programmed operating point value in the
event of a THERM assertion. Setting these bits to 0 ignores
a THERM assertion, and the operating point register
remains at the programmed value.
Enhancing System Acoustics
to changes in temperature; that is, the PWM duty cycle
responds immediately to temperature change. Any impulses
in temperature can cause an impulse in fan noise. For
psycho−acoustic reasons, the ADT7462 can prevent the
PWM output from reacting instantaneously to temperature
changes. Enhanced acoustic mode controls the maximum
change in PWM duty cycle at a given time. The objective is
to prevent the fan from cycling up and down, annoying the
user.
Acoustic Enhancement Mode Overview
control circuitry on the ADT7462 and shows where acoustic
enhancement fits in. Acoustic enhancement is intended as a
post−design tweak made by a system or mechanical
engineer evaluating best settings for the system. Having
determined the optimal settings for the thermal solution, the
engineer can adjust the system acoustics. The goal is to
implement a system that is acoustically pleasing without
causing user annoyance due to fan cycling. It is important to
realize that although a system might pass an acoustic noise
requirement specification (for example, 36 dB), if the fan is
annoying, it fails the consumer test.
