Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines
• When the DTS value is at or below T
CONTROL
, the fans can be slowed down - just as 
with prior processors. 
• When DTS is above T
CONTROL
, FSC algorithms will use knowledge of T
AMBIENT
 and 
Ψ
CA
 vs. RPM to achieve the necessary level of cooling.
DTS 1.1 provides another option to do fan speed control without the Tambient data. 
Please refer to 
 for more details.This chapter will discuss two 
implementations. The first is a FSC system that is not provided the T
AMBIENT
 
information and a FSC system that is provided data on the current T
AMBIENT
. Either 
method will result in a thermally compliant solution and some acoustic benefit by 
operating the processor closer to the thermal profile. But only the T
AMBIENT
 aware FSC 
system can fully utilize the specification for optimized acoustic performance.
In the development of the FSC algorithm it should be noted that the T
AMBIENT
 is 
expected to change at a significantly slower rate than the DTS value. The DTS value will 
be driven by the workload on the processor and the thermal solution will be required to 
respond to this much more rapidly than the changes in T
AMBIENT
.
An additional consideration in establishing the fan speed curves is to account for the 
thermal interface material performance degradation over time.
