Intel E2180 - Pentium Dual-Core 2.00GHz 800MHz 1MB Socket 775 CPU User Manual

Thermal Management Logic and Thermal Monitor Feature
Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines 39
The processor introduces the Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) as the on-die sensor to use
for fan speed control (FSC). The DTS will eventually replace the on-die thermal diode
used in pervious products. The processor will have both the DTS and thermal diode
enabled. The DTS is monitoring the same sensor that activates the TCC (see
Section
4.2.2). Readings from the DTS are relative to the activation of the TCC. The
DTS value where TCC activation occurs is 0 (zero).
A T
CONTROL
value will be provided for use with DTS. The usage model for T
CONTROL
with
the DTS is the same as with the on-die thermal diode:
• If the Digital thermal sensor is less than T
CONTROL,
the fan speed can be reduced.
• If the Digital thermal sensor is greater than or equal to T
CONTROL,
then T
C
must be
maintained at or below the Thermal Profile for the measured power dissipation.
The calculation of T
CONTROL
is slightly different from previous product. There is no base
value to sum with the T
OFFSET
located in the same MSR as used in previous processors.
The BIOS only needs to read the T
OFFSET
MSR and provide this value to the fan speed
control device.

Note: The processor has both the DTS and thermal diode. The T

only to the DTS.
4.2.11 Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
The PECI interface is a proprietary single wire bus between the processor and the
chipset or other health monitoring device. At this time the digital thermal sensor is the
only data being transmitted. For an overview of the PECI interface see PECI Feature
Set Overview. For additional information on the PECI, see the datasheet.
The PECI bus is available on pin G5 of the LGA 775 socket. Intel chipsets beginning
with the ICH8 have included PECI host controller. The PECI interface and the
Manageability Engine are key elements to the Intel
