Nuvoton Technology Launches Its New Generation Hardware Monitoring IC – NCT7802Y supports Intel PECI 3.0 interface

An internal 10-bit ADC is built inside the NCT7802Y to convert the monitored temperature into accurate in ±1℃ values. The remote inputs can be connected to CPU/GPU thermal diode or any thermal diode sensors and thermistor, moreover, it can get latest Intel® CPU temperature directly via Intel® PECI3.0 interface.

In addition to the temperature and voltage sensors, the NCT7802Y can also monitor up to 3 fan inputs and control 3 fan outputs (DC or PWM mode) by SMART FAN™ IV mode or Manual mode. The SMART FAN™ IV of NCT7802Y supports multi-zoned linear temperatures and fan speed mapping with hysteresis, to provide an easy method to implement quiet and cooling solution with maximum safety and flexibility.

Furthermore, the NCT7802Y implements an array of system alert features. There’re several pure hardware event pins, including ALERT#, T_CRIT#, and RESET #, SMI # and BEEP alarm signals, and all threshold values could be set for immediately activating system protection. Meanwhile, several SMBus addresses could be set for flexible system design.

Nuvoton's Hardware Monitoring IC solutions continue to be customer’s primary choice. As the system hardware’s first protection role, the Nuvoton Hardware Monitoring ICs series always integrate the most important and up-to-date hardware monitoring functions, also perfect the system stability and overall functionalities with excellent quality, efficiency, and are thus the industry’s most complete suite of solutions for desktop, notebooks, servers, VGA cards, projectors, and game console applications.
