General Description
The G768D contains a precise digital thermometer, a fan controller, and a system-reset circuit.
Except for one less fan controller, G768D is backward compatible with G768B. G768D has 2 more functions, fan-failure detection and programmable thermal shutdown signal.
The thermometer reports the temperature of 2 remote sensors. The remote sensors are diode-connected transistors typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type that replace conventional thermistors or thermocouples. Remote accuracy is ±5°C for multiple transistor manufacturers, with no calibration needed. The remote channel can also measure the die temperature of other ICs, such as microprocessors, that contain an on-chip, diode-connected transistor.
