DATASHEET

Chapter 5 Product Description

The is an SMBus temperature sensor with Hardware Thermal Shutdown. The EMC1186 monitors one

internal diode and one externally connected temperature diode.

Thermal management is performed in cooperation with a host device. This consists of the host reading

the temperature data of both the external and internal temperature diodes of the EMC1186 and using

that data to control the speed of one or more fans.

The EMC1186 has two levels of monitoring. The first provides a maskable ALERT signal to the host

when the measured temperatures exceeds user programmable limits. This allows the EMC1186 to be

used as an independent thermal watchdog to warn the host of temperature hot spots without direct

control by the host. The second level of monitoring asserts the SYS_SHDN pin when the External

Diode 1 temperature exceeds a hardware specified threshold temperature. Additionally, the internal

diode can be configured to assert the SYS_SHDN pin when the measured temperature exceeds user

programmable limits.

Figure 5.1 shows a system level block diagram of the EMC1186.

Conversion Rates

The EMC1186 may be configured for different conversion rates based on the system requirements.

The conversion rate is configured as described in Section 6.4. The default conversion rate is 4

conversions per second. Other available conversion rates are shown in Table 6.5, "Conversion Rate".

5.2

Dynamic Averaging

Dynamic averaging causes the EMC1186 to measure the external diode channels for an extended time

based on the selected conversion rate. This functionality can be disabled for increased power savings

at the lower conversion rates (see Section 6.3, "Configuration Register 03h / 09h"). When dynamic

averaging is enabled, the device will automatically adjust the sampling and measurement time for the

external diode channels. This allows the device to average 2x or 16x longer than the normal 11 bit

operation (nominally 21ms per channel) while still maintaining the selected conversion rate. The

benefits of dynamic averaging are improved noise rejection due to the longer integration time as well

as less random variation of the temperature measurement.

When enabled, the dynamic averaging applies when a one-shot command is issued. The device will

perform the desired averaging during the one-shot operation according to the selected conversion rate.
