Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
DC Specifications
PECI is an Intel proprietary interface that provides a communication channel between
Intel processors and chipset components to external thermal monitoring devices. The
processor contains a Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) that reports a relative die
temperature as an offset from Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) activation temperature.
Temperature sensors located throughout the die are implemented as analog-to-digital
converters calibrated at the factory. PECI provides an interface for external devices to
read the DTS temperature for thermal management and fan speed control. More
detailed information may be found in the
Platform Environment Control Interface
(PECI) Specification.
2.9.1
DC Characteristics
The PECI interface operates at a nominal voltage set by V
TTD
. The set of DC electrical
specifications shown in
Table 2-5
is used with devices normally operating from a V
TTD
interface supply. V
TTD
nominal levels will vary between processor families. All PECI
devices will operate at the V
TTD
level determined by the processor installed in the
system. For specific nominal V
TTD
levels, refer to
Table 2-7
.
Notes:
1.
V
TTD
supplies the PECI interface. PECI behavior does not affect V
TTD
min/max specifications.
2.
The leakage specification applies to powered devices on the PECI bus.
