Description: |
The MTP008 is a mix-signal IC designed to monitor many important parameters for the proper operation of a computer system, including power supply voltages, fan speeds and temperature. An 8-bit ADC was built in MTP008. The MTP008 can monitor up to 7 analog voltage inputs, 3 fan tachometer inputs and 3 remote temperature. The remote temperature sensing can performed by thermistors,
or 2N3904 NPN-type transistors, or directly from Intel Deschute CPU thermal diode output. Also the MTP008 provides 3 PWM outputs for the fan speed control; beep tone warning output; SMI#, NMI, OVT#, GPO# signals for system protection events. Moreover, 5 VID inputs are provided to read the VID of CPU if applicable. This is to provide the Vcore voltage correction automatically. |
