Chapter 4 System Management Bus Interface Protocol

4.1 System Management Bus Interface Protocol


The EMC2112 communicates with a host controller, such as an SMSC SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 4.1. Stretching of the SMCLK signal is supported,
however the EMC2112 will not stretch the clock signal.

4.1.1 SMBus Start Bit


The SMBus Start bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘1’ state to a logic
‘0’ state while the SMBus Clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the EMC2112 detects an SMBus Start
bit, it will disable the BC-Link protocol circuitry and communicate using the SMBus Protocol

4.1.2 SMBus Address and RD / WR Bit


The SMBus Address Byte consists of the 7-bit client address followed by a -bit RD / WR indicator. If
this RD / WR bit is a logic ‘0’, then the SMBus Host is writing data to the client device. If this RD / WR
bit is a logic ‘1’, then the SMBus Host is reading data from the client device.

The slave address is determined at power up by the pin-state of the ADDR_SEL pin as shown in
Table 4.1.

4.1.3 SMBus Data Bytes


All SMBus Data bytes are sent most significant bit first and composed of 8-bits of information.

4.1.4 SMBus ACK and NACK Bits


The SMBus client will acknowledge all data bytes that it receives (as well as the client address if it
matches and the ARA address if the ATF_INT# pin is asserted). This is done by the client device
pulling the SMBus Data line low after the 8th bit of each byte that is transmitted.

The Host will NACK (not acknowledge) the data received from the client by holding the SMBus data
line high after the 8th data bit has been sent.

4.1.5 SMBus Stop Bit


The SMBus Stop bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘0’ state to a logic
‘1’ state while the SMBus clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the EMC2112 detects an SMBus Stop
bit, and it has been communicating with the SMBus protocol, it will reset its client interface and prepare
to receive further communications.

4.1.6 SMBus Time-out


The EMC2112 includes an SMBus time-out feature. Following a 30ms period of inactivity on the
SMBus, the device will time-out and reset the SMBus interface. The timeout can be disabled by setting
the DIS_TO bit in the Configuration 2 register.

4.1.7 SMBus and I2C Compliance


The major difference between SMBus and I2C devices is highlighted here. For complete compliance
information refer to the SMBus 2.0 specification.
1. Minimum frequency for SMBus communications is 10kHz.

2. The client protocol will reset if the clock is held for longer than 30ms.
3. The slave protocol will reset if both the clock and data lines are held high for longer than 150us.
4. I2C devices do not support the Alert Response Address functionality (which is optional for SMBus).
5. The Block Read and Block Write protocols are only compliant with I2C data formatting. They do
not support SMBus formatting for Block Read and Block Write protocols.

4.2 SMBus Protocols


The EMC2112 is SMBus 2.0 compatible and supports Send Byte, Read Byte, Receive Byte and Write
Byte as valid protocols as shown below. It will respond to the Alert Response Address protocol but is
not in full compliance.

All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 4.2.

4.2.7 Alert Response Address


The ALERT output can be used as a processor interrupt or as an SMBus Alert when configured to
operate as an interrupt.

When it detects that the ALERT pin is asserted, the host will send the Alert Response Address (ARA)
to the general address of 0001_100xb. All devices with active interrupts will respond with their client
address as shown in Table 4.9.

Table 4.9 Alert Response Address Protocol

ALERT
RESPONSE DEVICE
START ADDRESS RD ACK ADDRESS NACK STOP

The EMC2112 will respond to the ARA in the following way if the ALERT pin is asserted.
1. Send Slave Address and verify that full slave address was sent (i.e. the SMBus communication
from the device was not prematurely stopped due to a bus contention event).
2. Set the MASK bit to clear the ALERT pin.

Chapter 5 General Description

The EMC2112 monitors up to three (3) external temperature channels. Each of the external
temperature channels can employ both Beta Compensation (an implementation of the BJT or transistor
model for thermal diodes) and Resistance Error Correction for use with thermal diodes while the third
channel is hardwired to measure a discrete diode connected NPN or PNP transistor. The temperature
data is available over a standard 2-wire serial interface using SMBus read commands. The
temperature monitoring is described in more detail in Section 5.11, "Temperature Monitoring".

The EMC2112 includes a closed-loop RPM-based Fan Control Algorithm for each fan driver. The host
writes the desired fan speed into a register of the EMC2112 via the SMBus and the integrated fan
controller will maintain the fan at the desired speed using fan speed feedback from the TACH output
from a 3-wire fan. The fan control algorithm controls an integrated 5V, 600mA, linear fan driver.

The EMC2112 provides the system with a hardware based critical/thermal shutdown function. This
critical/thermal shutdown function integrates critical signals from both the CPU and power supply and
the analog circuitry to monitor a specific temperature channel based on the system configuration. The
critical/thermal shutdown temperature threshold is configured on the PCB through a simple discrete
resistor. The Critical/Thermal Shutdown function is described in more detail in Section 5.9,
"Critical/Thermal Shutdown".

An example of a typical system configuration for the EMC2112 is provided in Figure 5.1.

5.1 Fan Control Modes of Operation


The EMC2112 has two modes of operation for the fan driver. Each mode of operation uses the Ramp
Rate control and Spin Up Routine.
1. Direct Setting Mode - in this mode of operation, the user directly controls the fan drive setting.
Updating the Fan Driver Setting Register (see Section 6.17) will instantly update the fan drive.
Ramp Rate control is optional and enabled via the EN_RRC bits.

„ Whenever the Direct Setting Mode is enabled, the current drive will be changed to what was
last written into the Fan Driver Setting Register.
2. Fan Speed Control Mode (FSC) - in this mode of operation, the user determines a target
tachometer count and the drive setting is automatically updated to achieve this target speed. The
algorithm uses the Spin Up Routine and has user definable ramp rate controls.

5.2 RPM-Based Fan Speed Control Algorithm (FSC)


The EMC2112 includes a RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm for the fan driver.

This fan control algorithm uses Proportional, Integral, and Derivative terms to automatically approach
and maintain the system’s desired fan speed to an accuracy directly proportional to the accuracy of
the clock source.

The desired tachometer count is set by the user inputting the desired number of 32.768KHz cycles
that occur per fan revolution. This is done by setting the TACH Target Register. The user may change
the target count at any time. The user may also set the target count to FFh in order to disable the fan
driver for lower current operation.

SMSC EMC2112 21 Revision 0.88 (11-20-09)


DATASHEET
RPM-Based Linear Fan Controller with Hardware Thermal Shutdown

Datasheet

For example, if a desired RPM rate for a 2-pole fan is 3000 RPMs, then the user would input the
hexidecimal equivalent of 1296 (51h in the TACH Target Register). This number represents the number
of 32.768KHz cycles that would occur during the time it takes the fan to complete a single revolution
when it is spinning at 3000RPMs.

The EMC2112’s RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm has programmable configuration settings
for parameters such as ramp-rate control and spin up conditions. The fan driver automatically detects
and attempts to alleviate a stalled/stuck fan condition while also asserting the ALERT pin. The
EMC2112 works with fans that operate up to 16,000 RPMs and provide a valid tachometer signal. The
fan controller will function either with an externally supplied 32.768KHz clock source or with it’s own
internal 32kHz oscillator depending on the required accuracy.

5.2.1 Programming the RPM-Based Fan Speed Control Algorithm


The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is disabled upon device power up. The following
registers control the algorithm. The EMC2112 fan control registers are pre-loaded with defaults that
will work for a wide variety of fans so only the TACH Target Register is required to set a fan speed.
The other fan control registers can be used to fine-tune the algorithm behavior based on application
requirements.

Note that steps 1 - 6 are optional and need only be performed if the default settings do not provide
the desired fan response.
1. Set the Spin Up Configuration Register to the Spin Up Level and Spin Time desired.

2. Set the Fan Step Register to the desired step size.


3. Set the Fan Minimum Drive Register to the minimum drive value that will maintain fan operation.
4. Set the Update Time, and Edges options in the Fan Configuration Register.
5. Set the Valid TACH Count Register to the highest tach count that indicates the fan is spinning.
6. Set the TACH Target Register to the desired tachometer count.
7. Enable the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm by setting the EN_ALGO bit.

5.3 Tachometer Measurement


The tachometer measurement circuitry is used in conjunction with the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm to update the fan driver output. Additionally, it can be used in Direct Setting mode as a
diagnostic for host based fan control.

This method monitors the TACH signal in real time. It constantly updates the tachometer measurement
by reporting the number of clocks between a user programmed number of edges on the TACH signal.

The tachometer measurement provides fast response times for the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm and the data is presented as a count value that represents the fan RPM period. When this
method is used, all fan target values must be input as a count value for proper operation.

APPLICATION NOTE: The tachometer measurement method works independently of the drive settings. If the
device is put into Direct Setting and the fan drive is set at a level that is lower than the fan
can operate (including zero drive), then the tachometer measurement may signal a Stalled
Fan condition and assert an interrupt.

5.3.1 Stalled Fan


A Stalled fan is detected if the tach counter exceeds the user-programmable Valid TACH Count setting
then it will flag the fan as stalled and trigger an interrupt.

If the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is enabled, the algorithm will automatically attempt to
restart the fan until it detects a valid tachometer level or is disabled.

Revision 0.88 (11-20-09) 22 SMSC EMC2112


DATASHEET
RPM-Based Linear Fan Controller with Hardware Thermal Shutdown

Datasheet

The FAN_STALL Status bit indicates that a stalled fan was detected. This bit is checked conditionally
depending on the mode of operation.
„ Whenever the Direct Setting Mode is enabled or whenever the Spin Up Routine is enabled, the
FAN_STALL interrupt will be masked for the duration of the programmed Spin Up Time (see
Section 6.21) to allow the fan an opportunity to reach a valid speed without generating unnecessary
interrupts.
„ In Direct Setting Mode with the tachometer measurement using the Tach Period Measurement
method, whenever the TACH Reading Register value exceeds the Valid TACH Count Register
setting, the FAN_STALL status bit will be set.
„ When using the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm, the stalled fan condition is checked
whenever the Update Time is met and the fan drive setting is updated. It is not a continuous check.

5.3.2 Aging Fan or Invalid Drive Detection


This is useful to detect aging fan conditions (where the fan’s natural maximum speed degrades over
time) or incorrect fan speed settings. The EMC2112 contains circuitry that detects that the programmed
fan speed can be reached by the fan. If the target fan speed cannot be reached within a user defined
band of tach counts at maximum drive then the DRIVE_FAIL status bits are set and the ALERT pin is
asserted.

5.3.3 Clock Source


The CLK pin can be configured as an input for the EMC2112 or as an output to drive additional devices
with the internally generated tachometer clock (see Section 6.9).

When the CLK pin is configured as an input to the EMC2112, then a 32.768kHz clock must be
provided. This clock is used to by the Tachometer measurement circuitry and will directly affect the
accuracy of this measurement.

When the CLK pin is configured as an output, then it will be driven at the same frequency as the
internal tachometer clock.

5.4 Spin Up Routine


The EMC2112 also contains programmable circuitry to control the spin up behavior of the fan driver
to ensure proper fan operation.

The Spin Up Routine is initiated in Direct Setting mode when the setting value changes from 00h to
anything else.

When the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is enabled, the Spin Up Routine is initiated under the following
conditions when the Tach Period Measurement method of tach measurement is used:
1. The TACH Target Register value changes from a value of FFh to a value that is less than the Valid
TACH Count (see Section 6.24).

2. The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm’s measured TACH Reading Register value is greater
than the Valid TACH Count setting.

When the Spin Up Routine is operating, the fan driver is set to full scale (optional) for one quarter of
the total user defined spin up time. For the remaining spin up time, the fan driver output is set a a user
defined level (30% through 65% drive).

After the Spin Up Routine has finished, the EMC2112 measures the TACH signal. If the measured
TACH Reading Register value is higher than the Valid TACH Count Register setting, the FAN_SPIN
status bit is set and the Spin Up Routine will automatically attempt to restart the fan.

Figure 5.2 shows an example of the Spin Up Routine in response to a programmed fan speed change
based on the first condition above.

5.5 Ramp Rate Control


The Fan Driver can be configured with automatic ramp rate control. Ramp rate control is accomplished
by adjusting the drive output settings based on the Maximum Fan Step Register settings and the
Update Time settings.

If the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is used, then this ramp rate control is automatically
used. The user programs a maximum step size for the fan drive setting and an update time. The
update time varies from 100ms to 1.6s while the fan drive maximum step can vary from 1 count to 31
counts.

When a new fan drive setting is entered, the delta from the next fan drive setting and the previous fan
drive setting is determined. If this delta is greater than the Max Step settings, then the fan drive setting
is incrementally adjusted every 100ms to 1.6s as determined by the Update Time until the target fan
drive setting is reached. See Figure 5.3.

5.5.1 Temperature Bypass of Ramp Rate Control


As an optional feature, the Ramp Rate Control functionality can be disabled if any of the measured
temperature channels exceed their respective high limits. In this mode, once the high limit has been
exceeded, the ramp rate controls are removed which allows the fan to move instantly to the
programmed drive setting (using the FSC or in manual mode).

5.6 Watchdog Timer


The EMC2112 contains an internal Watchdog Timer for the fan driver. The Watchdog timer monitors
the SMBus traffic for signs of activity and works in two different modes based upon device operation.
These modes are Power Up Operation and Continuous Operation as described below.

For either mode of operation, if four (4) seconds elapse without activity detected by the host, then the
watchdog will be triggered and the following will occur:
1. The WATCH status bit will be set which will cause the ALERT pin to be asserted.

2. The fan driver will be set to full scale drive. It will remain at full scale drive until it is disabled.

APPLICATION NOTE: When the Watchdog timer is activated the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is automatically
disabled. Disabling the Watchdog will not automatically set the fan drive nor re-activate the
Fan Speed Control Algorithm. This must be done manually.

SMSC EMC2112 25 Revision 0.88 (11-20-09)


DATASHEET
RPM-Based Linear Fan Controller with Hardware Thermal Shutdown

Datasheet

5.6.1 Power Up Operation


The Watchdog Timer only starts immediately after power-up and once it has been triggered or
deactivated will not restart (however can be configured to operate in Continuous operation)

In the Power Up Operation, the Watchdog Timer is disabled by any of the following actions:
1. Writing the Fan Setting Register will disable the Watchdog Timer.

2. Enabling the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm by setting the EN_ALGO bit will disable the
Watchdog Timer. The fan driver will be set based on the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm.
3. Changing the Watchdog operating mode by setting the WD_EN bit.

Writing any other configuration registers will not disable the Watchdog Timer upon power up.

5.6.2 Continuous Operation


When configured to operate in Continuous Operation, the Watchdog timer will start immediately. It can
be disabled by any access (read or write) to the SMBus register set. Upon completion of SMBus
activity, the Watchdog timer is reset and restarted.

5.7 High Side Fan Driver


The EMC2112’s integrates a 5V, 600mA, linear high side fan driver to directly drive a 5V fan. By fully
integrating the linear fan driver, the typical requirement for the discrete pass device and other external
linearization circuitry is completely eliminated.

5.7.1 Overcurrent Limit


The High Side Fan Driver contains circuitry to allow for significant over current levels to accommodate
transient conditions on the FAN pins. The over current limit is dependent upon the output voltage with
the limit dropping as the voltage nears 0V.

If the fan driver current detects a short-circuit condition for longer than 2 seconds, then the I_SHORT
status bit is set and an interrupt generated. Additionally, the High Side Fan Driver will be disabled for
8 seconds. After this 8 second time has elapsed, it will be allowed to restart invoking the Spin Up
Routine before returning to its previous drive setting.

APPLICATION NOTE: If the FSC Algorithm is active, then it will generate errant SPIN_FAIL interrupts during the 8
second time that the fan driver is held off.

5.8 Internal Thermal Shutdown (TSD)


The EMC2112 contains an internal thermal shutdown circuit that monitors the internal die temperature.
If the die temperature exceeds the Thermal Shutdown Threshold (see Table 3.2), then the following
will occur:
1. The High Side Fan Driver is disabled. It will remain disabled until the internal temperature drops
below the threshold temperature minus 50°C.

2. The TSD Status bit is set.


3. The SYS_SHDN pin is asserted.

5.9 Critical/Thermal Shutdown


The EMC2112 provides a hardware Critical/Thermal Shutdown function for systems. Figure 5.4 is a
block diagram of this Critical/Thermal Shutdown function. The Critical/Thermal Shutdown function in

Revision 0.88 (11-20-09) 26 SMSC EMC2112


DATASHEET
RPM-Based Linear Fan Controller with Hardware Thermal Shutdown

Datasheet

the EMC2112 consists of both analog and digital functions. It accepts configuration information from
the fixed states of the SHDN_SEL pin as described in Section 5.9.2.

Each of the temperature limits can be configured to act as inputs to the Critical / Thermal Shutdown
independent of the hardware shutdown operation.

The analog portion of the Critical/Thermal Shutdown function monitors a specific remote temperature
channel (configured with the SHDN_SEL pin). This measured temperature is then compared with the
TRIP_SET point. This TRIP_SET point is created by the system designer with a simple resistor and
is discussed in detail in Section 5.9.1.

5.9.1 TRIP_SET Pin


The EMC2112’s TRIP_SET pin is an analog input to the Critical/Thermal Shutdown block which sets
the Thermal Shutdown temperature. The system designer creates a voltage level at the input through
a simple resistor connected to GND as shown in Figure 5.1. The value of this resistor is used to create
an input voltage on the TRIP_SET pin which is translated into a temperature ranging from 60°C to
122°C enumerated in Table 5.2.

5.9.2 SHDN_SEL Pin


The EMC2112 has one ‘strappable’ input (SHDN_SEL) allowing for configuration of the hardware
Critical/Thermal Shutdown. This pin has 3 possible states and is monitored and decoded by the
EMC2112 at power-up. The three possible states are 0 (tied to GND), 1 (tied to 3.3V) or High-Z (open).
The states of this pin determine which remote temperature channel and configuration is used by the
Critical/Thermal Shutdown function. The different configurations of SHDN_SEL pin are described in
Table 5.3

A channel that is configured via the SHDN_SEL pin for the Critical/Thermal Shutdown is locked and
none of the configuration registers associated with it can be updated via the SMBus. The other two
temperature channels, however, are still configurable via the SMBus.

Table 5.3 SHDN_SEL Pin Configuration

SHDN_SEL FUNCTION NAME CRITICAL/THERMAL SHUTDOWN DETAILS

‘0’ Intel Transistor Mode The external diode 1 channel is configured with Beta
(substrate PNP) Compensation enabled and Resistance Error Correction
enabled (with automatic detection). This mode is ideal for
monitoring a substrate transistor such as an Intel CPU
thermal diode.

High-Z (open) AMD CPU / Diode The external diode 1 channel is configured with Beta
Mode Compensation disabled and Resistance Error Correction
disabled. This mode is ideal for monitoring an AMD
processor diode or a 2N3904 diode.

‘1’ External Diode 2 The External Diode 2 channel is linked to the Hardware set
Diode Mode Thermal / Critical shutdown circuitry and configured with Beta
Compensation enabled (with automatic detection) and REC
enabled.

5.9.3 Internal HW_SHDN Signal


The HW_SHDN output from the Critical/Thermal Shutdown Monitor is a logical indicator of the
temperature state of the chosen external diode channel. HW_SHDN is an internal signal routed as an
input to the Thermal / Critical Shutdown logic.

The HW_SHDN output is set to logic ‘1’ when the indicated temperature exceeds the temperature
threshold (TP) established by the TRIP_SET input pin (as shown in Figure 5.5) for a number of
consecutive measurements defined by the fault queue. If the HW_SHDN output is asserted and the
temperature drops below TP, then it will be set to a logic ‘0’ state.

5.10 5V Reset Controller


The EMC2112 also provides a ‘power-good’ reset controller for the system’s 5V supply rail. The reset
controller will set the RESET pin to a logic ‘0’ after power-up and set the RESET pin to a logic ‘1’
220ms after the VDD_5V supply rises above its threshold voltage (see Table 3.2).

If the VDD_5V supply drops below the reset threshold, the RESET pin will be set to ‘0’ immediately.

5.11 Temperature Monitoring


The EMC2112 can monitor the temperature of up to three (3) externally connected diodes as well as
the internal or ambient temperature. Each channel is configured with the following features enabled or
disabled based on user settings and system requirements.

5.11.1 Dynamic Averaging


The EMC2112 supports dynamic averaging. When enabled, this feature changes the conversion time
for all external diode channels based on the selected conversion rate. This essentially increases the
averaging factor as shown in Table 5.4. The benefits of Dynamic Averaging are improved noise
rejection due to the longer integration time as well as less random variation on the temperature
measurement.

2 / sec 4x 1x

8 / sec 1x 1x

5.11.2 Resistance Error Correction


The EMC2112 includes active Resistance Error Correction to remove the effect of up to 100 ohms of
series resistance. Without this automatic feature, voltage developed across the parasitic resistance in
the remote diode path causes the temperature to read higher than the true temperature is. The error
induced by parasitic resistance is approximately +0.7°C per ohm. Sources of parasitic resistance
include bulk resistance in the remote temperature transistor junctions, series resistance in the CPU,
and resistance in the printed circuit board traces and package leads. Resistance error correction in the
EMC2112 eliminates the need to characterize and compensate for parasitic resistance in the remote
diode path.

5.11.3 Beta Compensation


The forward current gain, or beta, of a transistor is not constant as emitter currents change. This beta
variation causes the measured VBE (which is related to the collector current which, in turn, is related
to beta) to shift in a way that is not predicted by the ratio of emitter currents being forced into the
device. This shift cause an error in the temperature measurement. Compensating for this error is also
known as implementing the BJT or transistor model for temperature measurement.

For discrete transistors configured with the collector and base shorted together, the beta is generally
sufficiently high such that the percent change in beta variation is very small. For example, a 10%
variation in beta for two forced emitter currents with a transistor whose ideal beta is 50 would contribute
approximately 0.25°C error at 100°C. However for substrate transistors where the base-emitter junction
is used for temperature measurement and the collector is tied to the substrate, the proportional beta
variation will cause large error. For example, a 10% variation in beta for two forced emitter currents
with a transistor whose ideal beta is 0.5 would contribute approximately 8.25°C error at 100°C.

The Beta Compensation circuitry in the EMC2112 corrects for this beta variation to eliminate any error
which would normally be induced. This Beta Compensation circuitry automatically detects the type of
diode connected and adjusts the beta settings accordingly.

5.11.4 Digital Averaging


The External Diode 1 channel support a 4x digital averaging filter. Every cycle, this filter updates the
temperature data based an a running average of the last 4 measured temperature values. The digital
averaging reduces temperature flickering and increases temperature measurement stability.

The digital averaging can be disabled by setting the DIS_AVG bit in the Configuration 2 Register (see
Section 6.10).

5.12 Diode Connections


The diode connection for the External Diode 1 and External Diode 2 channels are determined at
power-up based on the SHDN_SEL pin (see Section 5.9.2). This channel can support a diode-
connected transistor (such as a 2N3904) or a substrate transistor (such as those found in an CPU or
GPU) as shown in Figure 5.7.

The External Diode 3 channel is available when the External Diode 2 channel is configured to operate
is an anti-parallel diode pair. In this mode, both the External Diode 2 and External Diode 3 diodes must
be connected in the anti-parallel configuration as shown in Figure 5.7

diode fault is detected, the temperature data most significant byte is forced to a value of 80h and the
FAULT bit is set in the Status Register.

The Beta Configuration Registers control advanced temperature measurement features for each
External Diode channel. The Beta Configuration Registers are software locked. The External Diode 1
Beta Configuration register Is hardware locked if the External Diode 1 channel is linked to the hardware
Critical / Thermal shutdown circuitry. Likewise, the External Diode 2 Beta Configuration register is
hardware locked if the External Diode 2 is linked to the Critical / Thermal shutdown circuitry - see
Section 5.9.2.

Bit 4 - AUTO - Enables the Automatic Beta detection algorithm.


„ ‘0’ - The Automatic Beta detection algorithm is disabled. The BETAx[3:0] bit settings will be used
to control the beta compensation circuitry.
„ ‘1’ (default) - The Automatic Beta detection algorithm is enabled. The circuitry will automatically
detect the transistor type and beta values and configure the BETAx[3:0] bits for optimal
performance.

Bits 3 - 0 - BETAx[3:0] - hold a value that corresponds to a range of betas that the Beta Compensation
circuitry can compensate for. These four bits will always show the current beta setting used by the
circuitry. If the AUTO bit is set (default), then these bits may updated by the device with every
temperature conversion. If the AUTO bit is not set, then the value of these bits is used to drive the
beta compensation circuitry. In this case, these bits should be set with a value corresponding to the
lowest expected value of beta for the PNP transistor being used as a temperature sensing device.

See Table 6.11 for supported beta ranges. A value of 1111b indicates that the beta compensation
circuitry is disabled. In this condition, the diode channels will function with default current levels and
will not automatically adjust for beta variation. This mode is used when measuring a discrete 2N3904
transistor or AMD thermal diode.

All of the Beta Configuration Registers are Software Locked.

The REC Configuration Register determines whether Resistance Error Correction is used for each
external diode channel. The REC Configuration Register is software locked.

If either the External Diode 1 channel or External Diode 2 channel is selected by the SHDN_SEL pin
to be the hardware shutdown input channel (see Table 5.3), then the corresponding RECx bit will be
locked. Writing to the bit will have no affect and reading from it will always report the current setting.

The Critical Temperature Limit Registers store the Critical Temperature Limit. At power up, none of the
respective channels are linked to Hardware set Thermal/Critical Shutdown circuitry.

Whenever one of the registers is updated, two things occur. First, the register is locked so that it cannot
be updated again without a power on reset. Second, the respective temperature channel is linked to
the SYS_SHDN pin and the Hardware set Thermal/Critical Shutdown Circuitry. At this point, if the
measured temperature channel exceeds the Critical limit, the SYS_SHDN pin will be asserted, the
appropriate bit set in the Tcrit Status Register, and the TCRIT bit in the Interrupt Status Register will
be set.

Bit 4 - DIS_AVG - Disables digital averaging of the External Diode 1 channel.


„ ‘0’ (default) - The External Diode 1 channel has digital averaging enabled. The temperature data
is the average of the previous four measurements.
„ ‘1’ - The External Diode 1 channel has digital averaging disabled. The temperature data is the last
measured data.

Bits 3-2 - QUEUE[1:0] - Determines the number of consecutive out of limit conditions that are
necessary to trigger an interrupt. Each measurement channel has a separate fault queue associated
with the high limit and diode fault condition except the internal diode.

The Critical / Thermal Shutdown temperature has a separate fault queue that applies to the selected
hardware shutdown channel (see Section 5.9) when compared against the threshold set by the
TRIP_SET pin.

APPLICATION NOTE: If the fault queue for any channel is currently active (i.e. an out of limit condition has been
detected and caused the fault queue to increment) then changing the settings will not take
effect until the fault queue is zeroed. This occurs by the ALERT pin asserting or the out of
limit condition being removed.

Register

The Interrupt Status Register reports the operating condition of the EMC2112. If any of the bits are set
to a logic ‘1’ (other than RESET and TSD), the ALERT pin will be asserted low if the corresponding
channel is enabled. If there are no set status bits, the ALERT pin will be released.

The bits that cause the ALERT pin to be asserted can be masked based on the channel they are
associated with unless stated otherwise.

Bit 7 - RESET - This bit is set to ‘1’ if the Reset Generator (see Section 5.10) has tripped, meaning
that the VDD_5V voltage level is less than its normal operating level (and the RESET pin is at a logic
‘0’ state). This bit is cleared when the RESET output changes states to a logic ‘1’. This bit will not
cause the ALERT pin to be asserted.

The Error Status Registers report the specific error condition for all measurement channels with limits.
If any bit is set in the High, Low, or Diode Fault Status register, the corresponding High, Low, or Fault
bit is set in the Interrupt Status Register.

Reading the Interrupt Status Register does not clear the Error Status bit. Reading from any Error Status
Register that has bits set will clear the register and the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Status
Register if the error condition has been removed. If the error condition is persistent, reading the Error
Status Registers will have no affect.

6.12.1 Tcrit Status Register


The Tcrit Status Register stores the event that caused the SYS_SHDN pin to be asserted. Each of the
temperature channels must be associated with the SYS_SHDN pin before the corresponding status bit
can be set (see Section 6.8). Once the SYS_SHDN pin is asserted, it will be released when the
temperature drops below the threshold level however the individual status bit will not be cleared until
read.

Bit 7 - HWS - This bit is set if the hardware set temperature channel meets or exceeds the temperature
threshold determined by the TRIP_SET voltage.

The EMC2112 contains high limits for all temperature channels and voltage channels. If any

The Fan Setting Register always displays the current setting of the Fan Driver. Reading from the
register will report the current fan speed setting of the fan driver regardless of the operating mode.
Therefore it is possible that reading from this register will not report data that was previously written
into this register.

While the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is active, then the register is read only. Writing to
the register will have no affect and the data will not be stored.

If the RPM-based Fan Control Algorithm is disabled, then the register will be set with the previous
value that was used. The register is read / write and writing to this register will affect the fan speed.

The contents of the register represent the weighting of each bit in determining the final output voltage.

Bits 4-3 - EDGES[1:0] - determines the minimum number of edges that must be detected on the TACH
signal to determine a single rotation. A typical fan measured 5 edges (for a 2-pole fan). For more
accurate tachometer measurement, the minimum number of edges measured may be increased.

Increasing the number of edges measured with respect to the number of poles of the fan will cause
the TACH Reading registers to indicate a fan speed that is higher or lower than the actual speed. In
order for the FSC Algorithm to operate correctly, the TACH Target must be updated by the user to
accommodate this shift. The Effective Tach Multiplier shown in Table 6.27 is used as a direct multiplier
term that is applied to the Actual RPM to achieve the Reported RPM. It should only be applied if the
number of edges measured does not match the number of edges expected based on the number of
poles of the fan (which is fixed for any given fan).

the Max Step settings were at 3Fh. The device will continue to operate in this way until all
temperatures (and the PWM input duty cycle) have dropped below the respective high limit.

Bit 6 - EN_RRC - Enables ramp rate control when the fan driver is operated in the Direct Setting Mode.
„ ‘0’ (default) - Ramp rate control is disabled. When the fan driver is operating in Direct Setting mode,
the fan setting will instantly transition to the next programmed setting.
„ ‘1’ - Ramp rate control is enabled. When the fan driver is operating in Direct Setting mode, the fan
drive setting will follow the ramp rate controls as determined by the Fan Step and Update Time

Bit 5 - NOKICK - Determines if the Spin Up Routine will drive the fan to 100% duty cycle for 1/4 of the
programmed spin up time before driving it at the programmed level.
„ ‘0’ (default) - The Spin Up Routine will drive the fan driver to 100% for 1/4 of the programmed spin
up time before reverting to the programmed spin level.
„ ‘1’ - The Spin Up Routine will not drive the fan driver to 100%. It will set the drive at the
programmed spin level for the entire duration of the programmed spin up time.

elapsed, then an interrupt will be generated. When the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is
active, the fan driver will attempt to re-start the fan immediately after the end of the last spin up attempt.

The Spin Time is set as shown in Table 6.37.

The Fan Max Step Register, along with the Update Time, controls the ramp rate of the fan driver
response calculated by the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm. The value of the registers
represents the maximum step size each fan driver will take between update times (see Section 6.18).

SMSC EMC2112 53 Revision 0.88 (11-20-09)


DATASHEET
RPM-Based Linear Fan Controller with Hardware Thermal Shutdown

Datasheet

When the FSC algorithm is enabled, Ramp Rate control is automatically used. When the FSC is not
active, then Ramp Rate control can be enabled by asserting the EN_RRC bit (see Section 6.19)

APPLICATION NOTE: The UPDATE bits and Fan Step Register settings operate independently of the RPM-based
Fan Speed Control Algorithm and will always limit the fan drive setting. That is, if the
programmed fan drive setting (either in determined by the RPM-based Fan Speed Control
Algorithm or by manual settings) exceeds the current fan drive setting by greater than the
Fan Step Register setting, the EMC2112 will limit the fan drive change to the value of the
Fan Step Register. It will use the Update Time to determine how often to update the drive
settings.

APPLICATION NOTE: If the Fan Speed Control Algorithm is used, the default settings in the Fan Configuration 2
Register will cause the maximum fan step settings to be ignored.

The Fan Step Registers are software locked.

6.23 Fan Minimum Drive Register

48h R/W Fan Minimum Drive 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 66h (40%)

The Fan Minimum Drive Register stores the minimum drive setting for each RPM-based Fan Speed
Control Algorithm. The RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm will not drive the fan at a level lower
than the minimum drive unless the target Fan Speed is set at FFh (see Section 6.26)

During normal operation, if the fan stops for any reason (including low drive), the RPM-based Fan
Speed Control Algorithm will attempt to restart the fan. Setting the Fan Minimum Drive Registers to a
setting that will maintain fan operation is a useful way to avoid potential fan oscillations as the control
circuitry attempts to drive it at a level that cannot support fan operation.

The Fan Minimum Drive Register is software locked.

6.24 Valid TACH Count Register

49h R/W Valid TACH Count 4096 2048 1024 512 256 128 64 32 F5h

The Valid TACH Count Register stores the maximum TACH Reading Register value to indicate that
the each fan is spinning properly. The value is referenced at the end of the Spin Up Routine to
determine if the fan has started operating and decide if the device needs to retry. See Equation [3] for
translating the count to an RPM. This register is only used when the FSC is active.

If the TACH Reading Register value exceeds the Valid TACH Count Register (indicating that the Fan
RPM is below the threshold set by this count), then a stalled fan is detected. In this condition, the
algorithm will automatically begin its Spin Up Routine.

If a TACH Target setting is set above the Valid TACH Count setting, then that setting will be ignored
and the algorithm will use the current fan drive setting.

The Valid TACH Count Register is software locked.

The Fan Drive Fail Band Registers store the number of tach counts used by the Fan Drive Fail
detection circuitry. This circuitry is activated when the fan drive setting high byte is at FFh. When it is
enabled, the actual measured fan speed is compared against the target fan speed. These registers
are only used when the FSC is active.

This circuitry is used to indicate that the target fan speed at full drive is higher than the fan is actually
capable of reaching. If the measured fan speed does not exceed the target fan speed minus the Fan
Drive Fail Band Register settings for a period of time longer than set by the DRIVE_FAIL_CNTx[1:0]
bits then the DRIVE_FAIL status bit will be set and an interrupt generated.

The TACH Target Registers hold the target tachometer value that is maintained each of the RPM-
based Fan Speed Control Algorithms.

If one of the algorithms is enabled then setting the TACH Target Register to FFh will disable the fan
driver (set the fan drive setting to 0%). Setting the TACH Target to any other value (from a setting of
FFh) will cause the algorithm to invoke the Spin Up Routine after which it will function normally.

The Tach Target is not applied until the high byte is written. Once the high byte is written, the current
value of both high and low bytes will be used as the next Tach target. 3

The TACH Reading Registers’ contents describe the current tachometer reading for each of the fan.
By default, the data represents the fan speed as the number of 32kHz clock periods that occur for a
single revolution of the fan.

Equation [3] shows the detailed conversion from TACH measurement (COUNT) to RPM while Equation
[4] shows the simplified translation of TACH Reading Register count to RPM assuming a 2-pole fan,
measuring 5 edges, with a frequency of 32.768kHz. These equations are solved and tabulated for ease
of use in AN17.4 RPM to TACH Counts Conversion.

Whenever the high byte register is read, the corresponding low byte data will be loaded to internal
shadow registers so that when the low byte is read, the data will always coincide with the previously
read high byte.
