Thermal Management
5.4.6 Fan Speed Control Scheme with Digital Thermal Sensor
(DTS) 2.0
To simplify processor thermal specification compliance, the processor calculates the
DTS Thermal Profile from T
CONTROL
Offset, TCC Activation Temperature, TDP, and the
Thermal Margin Slope provided in the following table.
Note: TCC Activation Offset is 0 for the processors.
Using the DTS Thermal Profile, the processor can calculate and report the Thermal
Margin, where a value less than 0 indicates that the processor needs additional cooling,
and a value greater than 0 indicates that the processor is sufficiently cooled.

Notes:
1. Ψ
CA
at "DTS = T
CONTROL
" is applicable to systems that have an internal T
RISE
(T
ROOM
temperature to
Processor cooling fan inlet) of less than 10 °C. In case the expected T
RISE
is greater than 10 °C, a
correction factor should be used as explained below. For each 1 °C T
RISE
above 10 °C, the correction
factor (CF) is defined as CF = 1.7 / (processor TDP)
2. Example: A chassis T
RISE
assumption is 12 °C for a 91 W TDP processor: CF = 1.7 / 91 W = 0.019 /W For
T
RISE
> 10 °C Ψ
CA
at T
CONTROL
= (Value provide in Column 2) – (T
RISE
– 10) * CF Ψ
CA
= 0.45 – (12 – 10)
0.019 = 0.41 °C/W In this case, the fan speed should be set slightly higher, equivalent to
Ψ
CA
= 0.41 °C/W
