Microchip Technology DME1737-NW

General Description

The DME1737 is a 3.3V (Super I/O Block is 5V tolerant) PC99/PC2001 compliant Super I/O controller with an LPC interface. DME1737 also includes Hardware Monitoring capabilities, enhanced Security features, Power Control logic and Motherboard Glue logic.
The DME1737's hardware monitoring capability includes temperature, voltage and fan speed monitoring. It has the ability to alert the system to out-of-limit conditions and automatically control the speeds of multiple fans. There are four analog inputs for monitoring external voltages of +5V, +5VTR, +12V and Vccp (core processor voltage), as well as internal monitoring of the SIO's VCC, VTR, and Vbat power supplies. The DME1737 includes support for monitoring two external temperatures via thermal diode inputs and an internal sensor for measuring ambient temperature. The nHWM_INT pin is implemented to indicate out-of-limit temperature, voltage, and FANTACH conditions. The hardware monitoring block of the DME1737 is accessible via the System Management Bus (SMBus). The same interrupt event reported on the nHWM_INT pin also creates PME wakeup events and speaker alarm annunciation.
