GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT7467 dBCOOL
multiple PWM fan controller for noise-sensitive or power-
sensitive applications requiring active system cooling. The
ADT7467 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 that 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 ADT7467 also
provides critical thermal protection to the system using the
bidirectional THERM pin as an output to prevent system or
component overheating.
