Mux Configuration Example
This is an example of how to configure the mux in a
system using the ADT7476A to control three fans. The CPU
fan sink is controlled by PWM1, the front chassis fan is
controlled by PWM2, and the rear chassis fan is controlled
by PWM3. The mux is configured for the following fan
control behavior:
•
PWM1 (CPU fan sink) is controlled by the fastest speed
calculated by the local (VRM temperature) and
Remote 2 (processor) temperature. In this case, the
CPU fan sink is also being used to cool the VRM.
•
PWM2 (front chassis fan) is controlled by the Remote 1
temperature (ambient).
•
PWM3 (rear chassis fan) is controlled by the Remote 1
temperature (ambient).
Example Mux Settings
[7:5] (BHVR), PWM1 Configuration Register (0x5C).
101 = Fastest speed calculated by local and Remote 2
temperature controls PWM1
[7:5] (BHVR), PWM2 Configuration Register (0x5D).
000 = Remote 1 temperature controls PWM2
[7:5] (BHVR), PWM3 Configuration Register (0x5E).
000 = Remote 1 temperature controls PWM3
These settings configure the mux, as shown in Figure 52.
