I2C Fan Control Ensures Continuous System Cooling
Design Note 270

slowing down due to worn bearings or halted from a
jam will cause an overп¬‚ow in the internal counter and
a corresponding bit is set low in the fault register. The
system controller can then take action, shutting down
the faulty fan and summoning maintenance. Introduction
Linear TechnologyвЂ™s LTC В®1840 is a dual fan speed
controller for high availability servers and other rackbased network and telecom equipment. The LTC1840
offers advanced control and monitoring capabilities,
accessed via an I2C and SMBus compatible 2-wire
serial interface. In addition to two fan speed control
channels, the LTC1840 also includes a fan tachometer and fault monitoring, nine slave addresses
and four general-purpose programmable I/O pins
in a 16-pin SSOP package. Adjusting fan speed to
match instantaneous cooling requirements increases
energy efп¬Ѓciency and reduces noise. By operating at
reduced speeds, fan bearings are subjected to less
wear, increasing fan life and reliability. The chip contains four general purpose input/output
(GPIO) pins that are conп¬Ѓgured independently. As opendrain outputs, they can be set high, low or to pulse at a
1.5Hz rate. The outputs are rated at 10mA sink current
for compatibility with LEDs. Conп¬Ѓgured as inputs, the …

DESIGN IDEAS I2C Dual Fan Speed Controller
Increases Efficiency and
by Dilian Reyes
Reduces Noise
Busy servers and rack-based network and telecom equipment rely on
hard-working cooling systems to keep
from melting down. The simplest cooling system is a bank of fans running
at full tilt, all of the time. This approach ensures a cool environment,
but overcompensation is neither efficient, nor is it good for the fans. High
output fans that work full time do not
last very long (their bearings wear
out), are not very efficient (they use
power also), and are noisy (especially
when their bearings wear out). The
LTC1840 dual fan speed controller
reduces the wear on bearings, and
noise, by continuously adjusting fan
speed to match the instantaneous
cooling requirements of the system. REGULATOR
