Thermal management is a mission-critical function for system reliability. The race to build higher performance systems is fueling the need to dissipate more heat per square inch of board space. The demand for energy efficient products and “always-on” cloud computing systems is driving the need to provide more advanced features such as hardware-based fan control, automatic noise reduction, and predictive fan failure algorithms.

Cypress’s Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) is a unique programmable architecture that allows system designers to do more with less. PSoC offers the best-in-class performance - hardware and/or firmware control for up to 16 fans, support for the largest number of analog and digital temperature sensors, thermal zone management algorithms, EEPROM based fault logging and predictive fan failure algorithms - perfect for designing systems to meet ever-increasing reliability standards. PSoC’s ability to integrate disparate analog and digital functions allows all this and more, while lowering your BOM costs.

Design Considerations

Design Challenges

The race to build higher performance systems is posing new challenges to designers.

  1. Mission-critical systems cannot tolerate Thermal Management failures
    • When fans wear out or become blocked, or
    • When SMBus interfaces to the Host Processor go down
  2. Fans create noise and consume significant power at maximum rpm
    • They must be driven at the minimum feasible rpm to minimize noise and power
    • They require a microcontroller running Thermal Algorithms to calculate minimum feasible rpm
  3. Every design requires difficult, time-consuming customization for
    • Different numbers of fans
    • Different types of Temperature Sensors
    • Specialized analog ICs for each Temperature Sensor
    • Microcontroller-based firmware algorithms to correct and linearize sensor outputs

PSoC solves these problems

  • PSoC monitors the fan rpm for failures and supports redundant SMBus interfaces to the Host Processor
  • The PSoC kit includes Thermal Algorithms that run on the PSoC microcontroller to minimize fan noise and power
  • One PSoC can control and monitor up to 16 fans and support up to 32 Temperature Sensors
  • PSoC integrates the specialized analog ICs for each Temperature Sensor, including the expensive ADC and IDAC Components
  • PSoC Temperature Sensor Components and User Modules provide firmware algorithms for accurate sensor conversion
  • PSoC Component and User Module Configuration Tools create customized Thermal Management configurations in minutes

PSoC provides a fail-safe, customized, one-chip Thermal Management subsystem solution
