ADM1026
Starting Conversion
Note that the limit registers (0Dh to 12h, 40h to 6Dh) are not
reset by the software reset function. This can be useful if one
needs to reset the part but does not want to reprogram all
parameters again. Note that a power-on reset initializes all
registers on the ADM1026, including the limit registers.
The monitoring function (analog inputs, temperature, and fan
speeds) in the ADM1026 is started by writing to Configuration
Register 1 and setting Start (Bit 0) high. The

Figure 62 shows how the ADM1026 could be used in an
application that requires system management of a PC or server.
Several GPIOs are used to read the VID codes of the CPU. Up
to two CPU temperature measurements can be read back. All
power supply voltages are monitored in the system. Up to eight
fan speeds can be measured, irrespective of whether they are
controlled by the ADM1026 or hardwired to a system supply.
The VREF output includes the recommended filtering circuitry.
from initially starting together, the analog measurements and
fan speed measurements proceed independently, and are not
synchronized in any way.
Reduced Power Mode
The ADM1026 can be placed in a low power mode by setting
Bit 0 of the configuration register to 0. This disables the internal
ADC.
Software Reset Function
As previously mentioned, the ADM1026 can be reset in
software by setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (Reg. 00h)
to 1. Configuration Register 1, 00h, should then be manually
cleared. Note that the software reset differs from a power-on
reset in that only some of the ADM1026 registers are reinitial-
ized to their power-on default values. The registers that are
initialized to their default values by the software reset are
