GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADT7473/ADT7473-1 dBCool® controller is a thermal
monitor and multiple PWM fan controller for noise sensitive
or power sensitive applications requiring active system cooling.
The ADT7473/ADT7473-1 can drive a fan using either a low
or high frequency drive signal, monitor the temperature of up
to two remote sensor diodes plus its own internal temperature,
and measure and control the speed of up to four fans so they
operate at the lowest possible speed for minimum acoustic noise.
The automatic fan speed control loop optimizes fan speed for a
given temperature. A unique dynamic T
enables the system thermals/acoustics to be intelligently
managed. The effectiveness of the system's thermal solution
can be monitored using the THERM input. The ADT7473/
ADT7473-1 also provide critical thermal protection to the
system using the bidirectional THERM pin as an output to
prevent system or component overheating.
