Product details
Overview
ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel SMBus-compatible temperature monitor and PWM fan controller IC for thermal management in computing systems. It integrates local (±1°C accuracy, 0.25°C resolution) and remote diode-based temperature sensing (±1°C, 0.125°C resolution), programmable PWM output (33–100% duty cycle), tach/AIN input for 2-wire or 3-wire fan speed measurement, and fail-safe THERM output for CPU throttling - deployed in notebook PCs and network servers.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 pinout, ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 application, or ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ACPI-compliant automatic fan control loop, SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) support, 3 V to 5.5 V supply range, 16-pin QSOP package, and dedicated open-drain outputs (THERM, INT, FAN_FAULT, PWM_OUT) requiring external pull-ups.
Technical Context
The ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 implements a chopper-stabilized ΔVBE measurement architecture for remote diode sensing, with internal 180 µA/11 µA current sources and 65 kHz low-pass filtering. Its ADC performs 16-cycle averaging per remote reading (nominal 9.6 ms), delivering 11-bit two's complement temperature data.
It operates as an SMBus slave with hardwired 7-bit address (01011xx, set by ADD pin), supports Read Byte protocol and ARA, and features independent configuration registers for fan speed control (PWM frequency/duty cycle), TMIN/TRANGE limits, offset calibration (±15°C), and interrupt masking - all accessible via serial bus without CPU intervention during automatic mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V standby rails and 5 V main supplies in ACPI-compliant systems. |

Pinout & Package
ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 is housed in a 16-lead QSOP (RQ-16) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body size, 1.0 mm max height, 0.635 mm pitch. Pin 1 marked with dot; pins 3, 4, 11, 12 are no-connect (NC). All open-drain outputs require external pull-up resistors (10 kΩ typical for PWM_OUT/THERM/FAN_FAULT/INT; 2.2 kΩ for SDA/SCL).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWM_OUT (Pin 1) | Open-drain digital output | Drives fan PWM input; requires pull-up; duty cycle programmable from 33% to 100% for acoustic/noise-sensitive cooling. |
| TACH/AIN (Pin 2) | Reconfigurable analog/digital input | Accepts tach pulses from 3-wire fans or measures voltage across sense resistor for 2-wire fan RPM determination. |
| GND (Pin 5) | System ground reference | Return path for analog and digital circuits; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into D+/D– inputs. |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Accepts 3.0–5.5 V; supports operation from 3.3 V standby rail for thermal monitoring during low-power states. |
| THERM (Pin 7) | Fail-safe open-drain I/O | Asserts low on overtemperature; also accepts external low signal to force full-speed fan - used for hardware-level CPU throttling. |
| FAN_FAULT (Pin 8) | Open-drain fault indicator | Signals stalled or disconnected fan; active-low output requiring pull-up; latched until cleared via SMBus. |
| D– / D+ (Pins 9/10) | Remote diode sensor inputs | Differential pair for ΔVBE measurement; D– biased above GND to reject ground noise; supports up to 1000 pF interconnect capacitance. |
| ADD (Pin 13) | Three-state SMBus address select | Sets LSBs of 7-bit address (01011xx); sampled only at power-up; enables coexistence of multiple ADM1030s on same SMBus. |
| INT (Pin 14) | Programmable open-drain interrupt | Indicates configurable temp/fan faults; supports SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) for multi-device interrupt arbitration. |
| SDA (Pin 15) | SMBus bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O; requires 2.2 kΩ pull-up; supports read/write transactions and ARA response. |
| SCL (Pin 16) | SMBus clock input | Asynchronous master-driven clock; requires 2.2 kΩ pull-up; defines timing window for data setup/hold (250 ns/300 ns). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Fan Speed Control Loop | Self-contained thermal regulation that maintains fan speed based on temperature thresholds without CPU software involvement - critical for lockup resilience. |
| ΔVBE Remote Sensing Architecture | Eliminates device-to-device VBE variation by measuring voltage difference at two current levels - enables accurate, uncalibrated remote diode use in mass production. |
| Programmable Temperature Offsets | 5-bit two's complement offset registers allow ±15°C correction per channel - compensates for PCB thermal gradients or sensor placement errors. |
| SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) | Enables multi-device interrupt prioritization: when INT asserts, host reads device address from ARA (0001100b), resolving conflicts without polling. |
| Fail-Safe THERM Output | Dedicated hardware-level overtemperature signal that cannot be masked - directly interfaces with CPU THERM# input for immediate clock throttling or shutdown. |
| Shutdown Mode | Reduces supply current to 32–50 mA standby (vs. 1.4–3 mA active) - extends battery life in portable systems during idle periods. |

This range aligns with its target applications in notebook PCs and network servers, and is validated across all key parameters including local/remote temperature accuracy, PWM output stability, and SMBus timing compliance.
Does the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 support both 3-wire and 2-wire fans?
Yes, the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 supports both fan types: Pin 2 (TACH/AIN) functions as a digital tach input for 3-wire fans, and can be reprogrammed as an analog input to measure voltage across a sense resistor for RPM calculation in 2-wire fans - enabling flexible cooling solutions without additional circuitry.
How does the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 achieve ±1°C remote temperature accuracy?
The ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 achieves ±1°C remote accuracy using a chopper-stabilized ΔVBE measurement technique that eliminates process-dependent VBE offsets. It switches between two precision current sources (180 µA/11 µA) on the D+/D– inputs, measures the resulting voltage difference, filters it with a 65 kHz low-pass filter, and averages 16 conversions - all confirmed in the datasheet's TPC 4 and specifications table.
Can the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 operate from a 3.3 V standby supply?
Yes, the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 supports 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, and Pin 6 (VCC) may be connected to a 3.3 V standby rail. This allows continuous thermal monitoring and fan control during system suspend states - a requirement for ACPI S3/S4 compliance and verified in the "POWER SUPPLY" section of the datasheet.
What is the function of the THERM pin on the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7?
The THERM pin on the ADM1030ARQ-REEL7 is a dedicated open-drain fail-safe output that asserts low when temperature exceeds a programmable limit. It also accepts external low signals to force full-speed fan operation - providing hardware-level CPU throttling capability independent of software or SMBus communication, as defined in the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Descriptions.
