Abstract :
In order to keep high-speed chips within good performance, some cooling methods are necessary. Fans can dramatically reduce the temperature of a chip. But the continual noise from the full-speed cooling fan is inevitable. The temperature sensor IC measures the chip temperature and adjusts fan speed accordingly. By reducing the revs of a fan, the noise level can be minimized when temperature is low. The IC also can decrease the power level rapidly by throttling the clock or shutting down the system when the temperature degrades the performance. The effects of noise in the work place can be solved in this way.
