Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST) Temperature - dPWM Figure 20. PID Controller Fundamentals Integral (time averaged) Actual Temperature Proportional Error Limit Temperature Derivative (Slope) + dPWM Time Fan Speed RPM For a PID algorithm to work, limit temperatures are assigned for each temperature sensor. For Intel QST, the TCONTROL for the processor and chipset are to be used as the limit temperature. The ME will measure the error, slope and rate of change using the equations below: Proportional Error (P) = TLIMIT - TACTUAL Integral (I) = Time averaged error Derivative (D) = ΔTemp / ΔTime Three gain values are used to control response of algorithm. Kp = proportional gain Ki = Integral gain Kd = derivative gain The Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST) Configuration and Tuning Manual provides initial values for the each of the gain constants. In addition it provides a methodology to tune these gain values based on system response. Finally the fan speed change will be calculated using the following formula: ΔPWM = -P*(Kp) - I*(Ki) + D*(Kd) Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines 59
