Product details
Overview
ADM1022ARQ from Analog Devices is a low-cost PC temperature monitor and fan controller ASIC with dual remote diode sensing (D1+/D1–, D2+/D2–), on-chip bandgap temperature sensor, 8-bit DAC for analog fan speed control (FAN_SPD), and dual voltage monitors (VCC, VMON) for brownout detection. It operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±3°C internal sensor accuracy, and interfaces via SMBus at up to 400 kHz - used in network servers and microprocessor-based office equipment for hardware thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1022ARQ datasheet, ADM1022ARQ pinout, ADM1022ARQ application, or ADM1022ARQ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-lead QSOP package, open-drain interrupt/reset outputs (INT, RST1, RST2), programmable dual-diode channel configuration, fault-tolerant fan control logic, and SMBus address flexibility via ADD/NTEST_OUT pin.
Technical Context
The ADM1022ARQ integrates two independent temperature measurement channels: one dedicated (D1+/D1–) and one reconfigurable (D2+/D2– as diode input or THERM/GPI), each using switched-current ΔVBE sensing with 1°C resolution and ±5°C external accuracy. Its 8-bit DAC drives FAN_SPD with 0–2.5 V output range, ±5% total unadjusted error, and supports external op-amp buffering for fan motor control.
It implements dual independent reset generators: RST1 triggered by VCC falling below 2.925 V (50 mV hysteresis), and RST2 asserted on VMON undervoltage, MR assertion, or RST1 activity - both with 140–560 ms timeout. The SMBus interface uses 7-bit addressing with ADD/NTEST_OUT determining A1/A0 bits at power-up, supporting up to three device addresses on one bus.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FAN_OFF (Pin 1) | Open-drain digital output | Asserts low to request immediate fan shutdown independent of DAC-controlled speed - used for emergency thermal shutdown. |
| MR (Pin 2) | Manual reset input | Pulled up internally (20 kΩ); active-low assertion forces RST2 and initiates 140–560 ms reset timeout - enables board-level reset coordination. |
| RST1 (Pin 3) | Bidirectional open-drain I/O | Auto-asserts during VCC brownout; can be driven externally as system reset input - supports shared reset bus architectures. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all analog measurements, DAC output, and digital I/O - requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Primary 3.0–5.5 V rail powering core logic, ADC, and internal bandgap reference - also monitored for first reset generator. |
| VMON (Pin 6) | Analog voltage monitor input | Second independent brownout detector input - allows monitoring of auxiliary supply (e.g., +12 V regulator output via resistor divider). |
| RST2 (Pin 7) | Open-drain reset output | OR-combined assertion from VMON undervoltage, MR activation, or RST1 activity - provides fail-safe system reset signaling. |
| FAN_SPD/NTEST_IN (Pin 8) | Configurable analog output / test input | 8-bit DAC output (0–2.5 V) for fan speed; pulled low at power-up to prevent inadvertent NAND test mode - requires 4.7 kΩ external pull-down. |
| D1– (Pin 9) | Remote diode negative input | Current sink node for dedicated D1 channel - biased above GND by internal diode to reject ground noise in noisy PCB environments. |
| D1+ (Pin 10) | Remote diode positive input | Current source node for dedicated D1 channel - paired with D1– to measure ΔVBE of CPU-integrated transistor or discrete diode. |
| D2–/THERM (Pin 11) | Reconfigurable analog input / digital output | Programmable as second diode negative input or active-low overtemperature flag - enables dual-CPU monitoring or hardware trip signaling. |
| D2+/GPI (Pin 12) | Reconfigurable analog input / digital input | Programmable as second diode positive input or general-purpose logic input - supports external fan enable or status polling via Status Register Bit 4. |
| ADD/NTEST_OUT (Pin 13) | Address select / test output | Three-state input (GND/VCC/open) setting SMBus A1/A0 bits at power-up - allows up to three ADM1022ARQ devices on same bus without address conflict. |
| INT (Pin 14) | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts low when any programmed limit (temp/voltage) is violated - enables OS-level thermal event handling without polling. |
| SCL (Pin 15) | SMBus clock input | Master-generated clock signal (≤400 kHz) synchronizing all serial transactions - requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ). |
| SDA (Pin 16) | SMBus bidirectional data | Open-drain data line shared across SMBus slaves - requires external pull-up; supports START/STOP, ACK/NACK, and byte transfers per SMBus spec. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADM1022ARQ in a PC motherboard design?
The ADM1022ARQ serves as a dedicated hardware thermal and power supervisor - measuring up to two remote diode temperatures (e.g., CPU cores), monitoring ambient temperature via its on-chip sensor, detecting brownout conditions on VCC and VMON rails, generating reset signals (RST1/RST2), and controlling fan speed via its 8-bit DAC output (FAN_SPD). In motherboard designs, ADM1022ARQ offloads thermal management from the BIOS or EC, enabling faster, deterministic responses to overtemperature or undervoltage events without software intervention.
How does the ADM1022ARQ achieve accurate remote temperature measurement despite PCB noise?
The ADM1022ARQ uses a switched-current ΔVBE sensing technique that rejects absolute VBE variation and common-mode noise - measuring voltage difference between two precisely controlled diode bias currents. Its D– inputs include internal bias diodes to lift the remote sensor's negative terminal above ground, reducing ground-loop errors. Layout guidance recommends parallel D+/D– routing with guard traces, 0.1 µF bypassing, and optional 1000 pF filtering - all validated to maintain ±5°C accuracy even with 100 mVp-p supply noise, as shown in TPC 2 and TPC 3 of the ADM1022ARQ datasheet.
Can the ADM1022ARQ control more than one fan, and how is fan speed adjusted?
The ADM1022ARQ provides a single analog fan speed output (FAN_SPD) - an 8-bit DAC generating 0–2.5 V - which must be interfaced with external driver circuitry (e.g., op-amp + MOSFET or bipolar transistor) to drive a fan. While ADM1022ARQ itself controls only one fan channel, its FAN_OFF pin (Pin 1) offers independent on/off gating, and its INT and THERM outputs can trigger secondary fan controllers. Fan speed is adjusted by writing 8-bit values (0x00–0xFF) to the Analog Output Register via SMBus; 0x00 yields 0 V (minimum speed), 0xFF yields 2.5 V (maximum speed), with linear interpolation between.
What SMBus address options are supported by the ADM1022ARQ, and how is the address selected?
The ADM1022ARQ supports three SMBus slave addresses determined by the logic state of the ADD/NTEST_OUT pin (Pin 13) at power-up: grounded → 0x2C, open-circuit → 0x2E (default), connected to VCC → 0x2D. These correspond to 7-bit addresses 0101100, 0101110, and 0101101 respectively - with the R/W bit appended during transaction. Address selection occurs only at power-on reset; changing ADD during operation has no effect until next power cycle. This allows up to three ADM1022ARQ devices on the same SMBus without address collision.
Does the ADM1022ARQ require external components for basic operation, and what are the critical ones?
Yes - the ADM1022ARQ requires several external components for reliable operation: a 4.7 kΩ pull-down resistor on FAN_SPD/NTEST_IN (Pin 8) to prevent unintended NAND test mode; external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL (typically 2.2–10 kΩ); 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND; and optional 1000 pF filter capacitor between D+ and D– for noisy environments. For fan control, external op-amp and transistor circuitry (e.g., Figure 5c in datasheet) is mandatory - ADM1022ARQ does not drive fans directly. No external crystal or timing components are needed, as all timing is internally generated.
