AMC6821SDBQR

Texas Instruments · Temperature Sensors · SSOP-16-150mil

AMC6821SDBQR from Texas Instruments, in a SSOP-16-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 PWM-OUT output Digital open-drain output that provides the PWM signal used to control fan speed.
2 TACH input Digital input that receives the fan tachometer signal used to measure fan speed.
3 OVR output Digital open-drain output that goes active low when the temperature reaches the critical shutdown threshold or the remote temperature sensor fails.
4 NC unconnected Not connected; reserved for manufacturer testing.
5 GND power_in System ground.
6 VDD power_in Power supply input, +3 V to +5 V per Table 1 (electrical characteristics specify an operating range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V).
7 THERM bidirectional Open-drain fail-safe I/O: as an output it goes active low when the temperature exceeds the THERM limit, and as an input a low level sets THERM-IN and drives the fan to full speed.
8 FAN-FAULT output Digital open-drain output that goes low when a fan failure is detected.
9 IN- passive Negative analog differential input connected to the cathode of the external temperature-sensing diode.
10 IN+ passive Positive analog differential input connected to the anode of the external temperature-sensing diode (Pentium-IV substrate transistor or 2N3904-type transistor).
11 PWM-MODE input PWM frequency range select, checked only at power-up or reset: tied low selects 1 kHz to 40 kHz, while tie to VDD or float selects 10 Hz to 94 Hz.
12 A1 input Device slave address select pin, checked only at power-up or reset.
13 A0 input Device slave address select pin, checked only at power-up or reset.
14 SMBALERT output Programmable open-drain SMBALERT output, active low, requiring a pull-up resistor (2.2 kΩ typical).
15 SDA bidirectional SMBus bidirectional open-drain data pin, requiring a pull-up resistor (2.2 kΩ typical).
16 SCLK input SMBus clock digital input, requiring a pull-up resistor (2.2 kΩ typical).
