Product details
Overview
ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a dBCool® remote thermal monitor and quad-fan PWM controller with integrated 10-bit ADC, on-chip + two remote diode temperature sensors (−64°C to +191°C), SMBus 2.0 interface, and bidirectional THERM pin for Intel Pentium 4 PROCHOT monitoring. It drives up to four fans using programmable high-frequency (22.5 kHz) or low-frequency (10–100 Hz) PWM signals and supports 2-/3-/4-wire fan speed measurement.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 datasheet, ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 pinout, ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 application, or ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include remote diode accuracy (±0.5°C typical), dynamic TMIN control for acoustic optimization, series resistance cancellation (SRC), fail-safe full-speed fan activation at 100°C THERM limit, and VCCP monitoring for processor core voltage tracking.
Technical Context
The ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 implements a dual-channel remote diode sensing architecture with dedicated current sources (6/36/96 μA) and series resistance cancellation logic to eliminate PCB trace resistance error. Its automatic fan speed control loop uses real-time local/remote temperature inputs to dynamically adjust PWM duty cycles across three independent PWM outputs (PWM1–PWM3), with PWM3 supporting dual-fan drive.
It integrates an SMBus 2.0-compliant serial interface with fixed address 0x2E, interrupt-capable SMBALERT/THERM multiplexed on Pin 9, and configurable GPIO functionality. The device features fail-safe cooling triggered either by exceeding the THERM threshold (100°C) or by absence of SMBus communication within 4.6 sec after VCCP power-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Range | −64°C to +191°C extended range; enables monitoring of high-temp CPUs and GPUs without external scaling. |
| Remote Sensor Accuracy | ±0.5°C (0°C–70°C); ensures precise thermal feedback from CPU/GPU diode junctions for reliable closed-loop fan control. |
| PWM Frequency Options | 22.5 kHz (HF) or 10–100 Hz (LF); HF reduces audible noise, LF enables compatibility with legacy fans. |
| Fan Count Support | Up to 4 fans via TACH1–TACH4 inputs and PWM1–PWM3 outputs (PWM3 drives Fan 3 & Fan 4 in parallel). |
| SMBus Address | Fixed 7-bit address 0x2E; eliminates address conflict risk in multi-device thermal management systems. |
| VCCP Monitoring | 0–3 V analog input on Pin 14; used to derive dynamic THERM trip point (2/3 × VCCP) for adaptive PROCHOT response. |
| Series Resistance Cancellation | Automatically compensates for up to ~1 kΩ trace resistance between remote diode and sensor pins; improves remote temp accuracy in dense PCB layouts. |

| VCCP (Pin 14) | Processor Core Voltage Input | Analog input (0–3 V) for monitoring CPU core rail; used to scale THERM trip threshold dynamically (2/3 × VCCP). |
| PWM1/XTO (Pin 15) | Fan Control Output / Test Mode | Open-drain PWM output for Fan 1; doubles as XNOR tree test output during factory diagnostics. |
| SDA (Pin 16) | SMBus Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain data line requiring external pull-up; carries all register addresses, values, and SMBus ACK/NACK signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thermal monitoring and fan control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADT7460ARQZ-REEL7 | No SRC; fixed 10–100 Hz PWM only; −127°C to +127°C range; no VCCP scaling; no GPIO on Pin 9. | Lacks dynamic TMIN, acoustic enhancement, and fail-safe VCCP timeout; suitable only for cost-sensitive legacy designs with lower thermal margins. | Select only if backward register compatibility with ADT7460 firmware is required and extended range/SRC are unnecessary. |
| NCT7802Y (Nuvoton) | 8-channel thermal monitor; no built-in PWM drivers; requires external fan driver ICs; SMBus address selectable (0x28–0x2F). | Higher channel count but no integrated fan control; better suited for multi-zone monitoring where fan drivers are discrete or integrated elsewhere. | Choose when system requires >2 remote sensors and fan control is handled by separate motor drivers or microcontroller PWM peripherals. |
Compared with ADT7467ARQ-REEL7, ADT7460ARQZ-REEL7 lacks critical reliability features like fail-safe timeout and series resistance cancellation, while NCT7802Y shifts fan control complexity to external components-making ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 the optimal choice for compact, self-contained thermal management in space-constrained servers and embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum remote temperature measurement range supported by the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7?
The ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 supports an extended remote temperature measurement range of −64°C to +191°C. This range is enabled by default (Bit 0 of Configuration Register 5 = 1) and allows accurate monitoring of high-temperature processors and GPUs. The device also maintains backward compatibility with the −127°C to +127°C range of the ADT7460 when Bit 0 is cleared, though ADT7467ARQ-REEL7's full specification is validated across the wider span.
Does the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 support both high-frequency and low-frequency PWM fan drive signals?
Yes, the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 supports programmable PWM frequencies: high-frequency mode at 22.5 kHz (default, Bit 1 of Configuration Register 5 = 0) and low-frequency mode adjustable between 10 Hz and 100 Hz (Bit 1 = 1). This dual-mode capability enables quieter operation with modern fans while retaining compatibility with legacy 2-wire fans that require low-frequency drive signals.
How does the series resistance cancellation (SRC) feature improve remote temperature accuracy in the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7?
The ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 implements hardware-based series resistance cancellation (SRC) on both remote diode channels (D1+/D1− and D2+/D2−) to automatically compensate for linear offset errors introduced by PCB trace resistance-up to approximately 1 kΩ. This eliminates manual calibration and ensures ±0.5°C accuracy over 0°C–70°C even in compact, high-density layouts where routing resistance would otherwise degrade thermal feedback fidelity.
What fail-safe mechanisms does the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 provide to prevent system overheating?
The ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 provides two independent fail-safe mechanisms: (1) automatic full-speed fan activation when any monitored temperature exceeds the programmable THERM limit (default 100°C), and (2) forced full-speed operation if no SMBus transaction occurs within 4.6 seconds after VCCP power-up. Both ensure thermal protection remains active even during firmware hangs or bus failures, making ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 suitable for mission-critical infrastructure.
Can the THERM pin on the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7 be used both as an input and output?
Yes, the THERM pin (multiplexed on Pin 9) operates bidirectionally in the ADT7467ARQ-REEL7. As an input, it monitors Intel Pentium 4 PROCHOT or external trip-point signals; as an output, it asserts an overtemperature condition to shut down or throttle the host processor. Function selection is controlled via Configuration Register 4 (Address 0x7D, Bits 0–1), and the pin retains open-drain characteristics in both modes for safe wired-OR interfacing.
