7.0 DAC OUTPUT

The LM87 provides an 8-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Con-

verter) with an output range of 0 to 2.5 volts (9.80 mV LSB).

This DAC can be used in any way, but in most applications of

the LM87 the DAC will be used for fan control. Typically the

DAC output would be amplified to provide the up to 12 volt

drive required by the fan. At power-on the DAC provides full

output, insuring that full fan speed is the default condition.

Care should be taken such that the analog circuitry tied to

this pin does not drive this pin above 2.5 V. Doing so will

place the LM87 in NAND tree test mode which will make all

pins inputs. After the first SMBus communication with the

LM87, it will leave NAND tree test mode and all inputs/

outputs will function normally.

Fans do not start reliably at reduced voltages, so operation

at a reduced voltage should be preceded by a brief (typically
