Electrical Specifications 7.10 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.

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. For the
PECI command set supported by the processor, refer to the appropriate processor
Thermal and Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines for additional information
(see
Section 1.7
).
7.10.1
DC Characteristics
The PECI interface operates at a nominal voltage set by V
TT
. The set of DC electrical
specifications shown in
Table 7-11
is used with devices normally operating from a V
TT
interface supply. V
TT
nominal levels will vary between processor families. All PECI
devices will operate at the V
TT
level determined by the processor installed in the
system. For specific nominal V
TT
levels, refer to
Table 7-6
.
Notes:
1.
V
TT
supplies the PECI interface. PECI behavior does not affect V
TT
min/max specifications.
2.
The leakage specification applies to powered devices on the PECI bus.
