GENERAL DESCRIPTION W83L784R/G is an evolving product of W83782D/G --- Winbonds most popular hardware status monitoring IC. Specifically designed for the Notebook system, W83L784R/G can be used to monitor several critical hardware parameters of the system, including power supply voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures, which are very important for a high-end Notebook system to work stably and properly. FEATURES Monitoring Items • 2 thermal inputs from remote thermistors or 2N3904 NPN-type transistors or PentiumTM II (Deschutes) thermal diode output • One on-chip temperature detection • 4 voltage inputs --- typical for Vcore, +3.3V, +5V, Battery • 2 sets of fan speed control and fan speed monitoring input • WATCHDOG comparison of all monitored values • Programmable hysteresis and setting points (alarm thresholds) for all monitored items Actions Enabling • Issue fan fault signal as fans are abnomally stopped • Issue battery low signal as bettery voltage is abnomally out of range • 2 PWM (pulse width modulation) outputs for fan speed control to support " Thermal CruiseTM " or " Speed CruiseTM " --- Automatically maintain the CPU or system in the specific temperature or keep the fans in the specific speed under the H/W control • Issue SMI#, OVT#, GPO to activate system protection • PWR_DN# setting for the Power down mode • Warning signal pop-up in application software
Power Good • Issue RESET# outputs as the Power Good signal when 3V and 5V rise across a reset threshold. General • I2CTM serial bus interface • IntelTM LDCM (DMI driver 2.0) support • AcerTM ADM (DMI driver 2.0) support • Winbond hardware monitoring application software (Hardware DoctorTM ) support, for both Windows 95/98 • Meet WfM 2.0 (Wired for Management) spec. • 5V Vcc operation Package • 20-pin SSOP (209mil)
