STEP 3: T
MIN
SETTINGS FOR THERMAL
CALIBRATION CHANNELS
T
MIN
is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on under
automatic fan control. The speed at which the fan runs at T
MIN
is programmed later. The T
MIN
values chosen are temperature
channel specific, for example, 25°C for ambient channel, 30°C
for VRM temperature, and 40°C for processor temperature.
T
MIN
is an 8-bit value, either twos complement or Offset 64, that
can be programmed in 1°C increments. A T
MIN
register is assoc-
iated with each temperature measurement channel: Remote 1
local and Remote 2 temperature. Once the T
MIN
value is exceeded,
the fan turns on and runs at the minimum PWM duty cycle.
The fan turns off once the temperature has dropped below T
MIN
− T
HYST
.
To overcome fan inertia, the fan is spun up until two valid TACH
rising edges are counted. (See the Fan Start-up Timeout section
for more details.) In some cases, primarily for psycho-acoustic
reasons, it is desirable that the fan never switch off below T
MIN
.
When set, Bits [7:5] of Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (0x62)
keep the fans running at the PWM minimum duty cycle if the
temperature should fall below T
MIN
.
