    摘要: A fan control system in which a sensor selection block having a number of sensor inputs may be combined with an autofan block having a number of zone inputs, where the number of sensor inputs is greater than the number of zone inputs. Each one of the sensor inputs of the sensor selection block may have a corresponding sensor parameter input. The sensor selection block may be configured to map a subset of the sensor inputs with corresponding sensor parameter inputs to the autofan block. Each zone input and corresponding zone parameter input of the autofan block may receive a corresponding one of the subset of the sensor inputs with corresponding sensor parameter inputs, respectively. The autofan block may have a number of pulse width modulated (PWM) outputs that may be calculated according to the autofan block zone inputs and zone parameter inputs.

    摘要: A system and method for controlling a fan is disclosed. A single control signal value for controlling the fan, such as a single PWM duty cycle value for a corresponding PWM generator output powering the fan, may be calculated by combining sensor data from two or more temperature zones. In one embodiment, the single PWM duty cycle value may be determined based on the temperature in a first zone, for example the CPU, with an additional factor based on the temperature in a second zone, for example the ambient temperature of a PC enclosure. In one embodiment, the final single PWM value is determined by adding an offset value to a PWM value calculated based on the current temperature of the first zone, where the offset value is obtained by calculating a first ΔPWM factor for the first zone, and using the first ΔPWM factor, in conjunction with a scaling factor, to weight a second ΔPWM factor calculated for the second zone.

    摘要: A double buffered flash bank. In one embodiment, a flash interface may be programmed by a register interface with a first set of data while a second set of data is being written to the register interface. In one embodiment, flash banks may be programmed in parallel using latched register interfaces. For example, while data from a first register interface is being written to the first flash bank and data from a second register interface is being written to a second flash bank, new data may be written to the first register interface and to the second register interface. The new data may then be written from the first register interface to the first flash bank and from the second register interface to the second flash bank.

The tachometer reading unit is configured to update the register in response to receiving a new value of the maximum stretching duration. The tachometer reading unit may be configured to control the PWM signal generator to stretch a pulse in the PWM signal and to not stretch the pulse longer than the maximum stretching duration indicated by the register. The tachometer reading unit is configured to obtain the tachometer reading during the stretched pulse in the PWM signal.
