The EMC2102 WatchDog will have timed out at this point, and the on-board DC fan will be running at 100%. Note: Starting the ChipMan application without the USB cable/EVB connected to the PC, an error message "Supported company ID on device not found" will pop-up. Plug in the USB cable and click on “Abort”, another pop-up window will ask if you wa

Fan Speed Control with the EMC2102 Device Notes: 1. The EVB-EMC2102 needs to be configured using the USB SMBus Bridge to work properly. If in the device selection window the Master Controller type is set to I/O Controller Hub then the "Supported company ID on device not found" message will pop-up again. 2. Disconnecting the USB cable and reconnecting it without restarting the ChipMan may cause register reading errors (all zeros). This problem can be cleared by re-selecting the EMC2102 device t

To select a register to plot, highlight its name or value, and right-click. A menu with a single entry "Add register to Plot" will appear (Figure 5.6, "Plotting from the ChipMan"). Click the entry then a plot window should appear, with a legend on top. When additional registers with the same da

Prior to other options, examine the various parameters on ChipMan window page 3: Fan Settings. The registers of most interest are the FAN Minimum Drive (55h), and Valid Tach Count (56h). The closed-loop controller will not drive below the minimum drive value, and will not respond to a TACH Target RPM speed less than the speed defined by the Valid Tach Count regist

This experiment will discuss the effects of Spin-Up Time and Spin-Up Levels. These parameters are important to ensure a valid start, while minimizing the turn-on overshoot for initial low RPM settings. (More examples regarding these two parameters can be found in Section 5.7.1, "Repetitious

Those two drive settings will run a DC fan at two different speeds and we will call them rpm60 and rpm75. Depending on the fan, the speed for the same drive setting will vary. All data and plot examples in this document were taken using an EVB-EMC2102 board with the on- board DC fan. This fan has an rpm60 of 4500 rpm, and an rpm75 of 5650 rpm. 5.3.2 Getting Started For

Fan Speed Control with the EMC2102 Device Invalid TACH Count Figure 5.13 60% Spin Level Setting Note: When a fan starts, the first TACH count captured by the EMC2102 may not reflect the fan’s speed correctly, since the counting clock (32.768 kHz) could only partially fill the counting window, which will cause a higher speed reading. Also for some fans, the tachometer may not work immediately after the fan starts therefore some invalid TACH signals (very short, noisy pulses) could be sent out a
