Topic: "Fan Control and Temperature Sensing with AMD's SB900-Series Southbridge"

Presenter: Dr. Ali Akbar Merrikh, AMD

Abstract:

Present work is an advisory to platform and system design engineers for implementing fan control and temperature sensing using AMD SB900 Integrated Micro-Controller (IMC). The temperature and fan-control features of the AMD SB900 are comparable to the existing discrete remote-temperature sensors (RTS) and fan controllers. In addition to analog (remote diode) support, the IMC fan control directly supports AMD's digital temperature sensor, the Sideband Temperature Sensor Interface (SB-TSI), as well as other SMBus-based remote temperature sensors. Our goal is to demonstrate the capability of the mentioned device in today's computers including low-power, mobile, and desktops.
