Mux Configuration Example
This is an example of how to configure the mux in a system
using the ADT7476 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 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
Bits [7:5] (BHVR), PWM1 Configuration Register 0x5C.
101 = Fastest speed calculated by local and Remote 2
temperature controls PWM1
Bits [7:5] (BHVR),
PWM2 Configuration Register 0x5D.
000 = Remote 1 temperature controls PWM2
Bits [7:5] (BHVR),
PWM3 Configuration Register 0x5E.
000 = Remote 1 temperature controls PWM3
These settings configure the mux, as shown in Figure 52.
