Revision 1.0 (12-14-06) SMSC EMC140X/2X

1 Overview

The EMC140X series of devices are SMBus temperature sensors with THERM and ALERT outputs.

The EMC142X series of devices have Hardware Thermal Shutdown outputs in place of THERM. The

EMC1402 and EMC1422 each monitor one internal diode and one externally connected temperature

diode.The EMC1403 and EMC1423 each monitor one internal diode and two externally connected

temperature diodes. And finally, the EMC1404 and EMC1424 each monitor one internal diode and up

to three externally connected temperature diodes.

All of the modes and functions of the EMC140X/2X can be tested and observed with the EVB-

EMC14XX. The EVB-EMC14XX is a USB-based platform for evaluating all variations of the

EMC140X/2X. A block diagram of this EVB is shown in Figure 1.1.

2.3 Installing the EVB

1. Install the Chip Manager application and device driver on a PC by running Setup.exe from the Chip

Manager distribution CD. A revision history and install/un-install notes may be found in the

readme.txt file on the disk.

2. Connect the supplied USB cable to an available USB port on the PC. Plug the “mini-B” end of the

USB cable into EVB connector P6. The +3.3V and Bridge ACT LEDs should illuminate. After the

EVB is connected to the PC the “Find New Hardware” wizard will pop up for USB driver installation.

Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to complete the installation process.

3. Start the EVB Software by selecting the Chip Manager application from the SMSC folder from the

Programs Windows Start menu. The EVB will initialize and the Chip Manager Quick Help screen

will appear as in Figure 2.1. The USBAct LED should be blinking when the Chip Manager is

running. For more help with Chip Manager, select Help -> Contents for an html based help

document as shown in Figure 2.2.

Note: The SMSC Chip Manager application allows viewing and changing register values for a variety

of EVBs including the EMC1001, EMC1002, EMC1023, EMC1033 and EMC2101. The Chip

Manager software only needs to be installed once to support all of these EVBs. The list of

supported EVBs may be found in the pulldown menu under Options -> Select Device.

3 Hardware Description

3.1 Introduction

The EVB-EMC14XX provides the means to demonstrate all of the EMC140X/2X features and to view

and modify registers. LEDs indicate status information and test points are included to monitor system

voltages with a user provided voltmeter or oscilloscope.

3.2 EMC140X/2X Devices

A total of four of six SMSC devices are on-board the EVB-EMC14XX. Jumpers enable which version

is active on the EVB. Please contact SMSC for boards with the EMC1423 or EMC1424 devices.

3.3 USB to SMBus Bridge

The USB to SMBus bridge is based on an 8051 micro controller with integrated USB and SMBus

interfaces as well as internal flash and RAM. During EVB manufacture, firmware is loaded into the

bridge that provides the interface between the USB and the SMBus. Power is sourced to the micro

controller from the USB interface for device power and communication.

3.3.1 Direct SMBus Connect Option

It is also possible to connect an external SMBus master to the EVB-EMC14XX. A few jumper settings

are all that is required to drive the any one of the devices on-board the EVB:

nSimply remove the jumpers on JP6 and connect the SMBus master to the SCL, SDA and ALERT

pins, as well as an external supply for +3.3V.

nThe +3.3V can be supplied by the SMBus bridge by leaving the +3.3V jumper in place and retaining

the USB connection.

3.4 Connecting to Remote Diodes

This EVB is populated with jumpers to connect to an external diode or CPU/GPU. If connecting to a

CPU’s thermal diode, it is necessary to provide a common ground. Also, it is usually necessary to bias

the appropriate CPU Vcc plane above this common ground to avoid forward-biasing the ESD diodes

with the temperature sensor signals. These connections have been provided on JP11 which is read by

EMC1422. Consult the CPU manufacturer’s datasheet for guidance on interfacing to the thermal diode.

Refer to the schematic EMC14XX_EVB_SCH-7092-A.pdf for details on the EVB header connections.

3.5 Resistance Error Correction (REC)

The remote diode DN signal path has a 100 ohm series resistor to demonstrate the EMC140X/2X’s

REC feature. See Table 3.3 for details on the REC jumper settings.

3.6 Power Source

This EVB requires only one USB connection to power the entire board. The USB-SMBus bridge

regulates the +5V USB power to +3.3V used by the EMC140X/2X and other EVB circuitry.

3.7 Test Points

Test points are provided for:

nGround

n+3.3V power

n+5V_USB power

nALERT, THERM, and SYS_SHDN outputs

3.8 LED Indicators

LEDs indicate the status of the following signals (Ta ble 3.1 ).

3.9 Jumper Settings

This EVB has many jumper configurations to evaluate all of the features of the EMC140X/2X family of

devices.

The first jumper the user should connect is the device enable jumper. This jumper will determine which

of the 6 devices will be powered up and evaluated.

The remote diode on board the EVB-EMC14XX has an in-line series resistance adjustment. Checking

the REC (Resistance Error Correction) feature of the EMC1402 is accomplished by setting the jumper

on JP16 as shown in Table 3.3. An open jumper adds 100 ohms of series resistance to the DN line of

the diode connection. To return to 0 ohm series resistance, replace the jumper on JP16. This feature

is demonstrated on the EMC1402 only. However, each device of the EMC140X/2X family has this

feature.

This EVB also allows for an off-board diode to be tested (see Ta b l e 3 . 4 ). This is done by removing

both jumpers of the device of interest. Then connect Pin 1 to the ‘remote+’ terminal of the remote diode

and Pin 3 to the ‘remote-‘ terminal of the remote diode. Make sure a common ground exists between

the remote diode (GPU, etc.) and the EMC140X/2X EVB. Also ensure that the remote diode is properly

biased according to the diode manufacture. One remote connection is provided per EMC140X/2X

device.
