7-4 shows the major connections for a typical implementation that can support 

processors with Digital thermal sensor or a thermal diode. In this configuration a SST 

Thermal Sensor has been added to read the on-die thermal diode that is in all of the 

processors in the 775-land LGA packages shipped before the Intel Core™2 Duo 

processor. With the proper configuration information the ME can be accommodate 

inputs from PECI or SST for the processor socket. Additional SST sensors can be 
added to monitor system thermal (see 

Appendix E for BTX recommendations for 

placement). Consult the appropriate platform design guide for complete details on 

implementation. 

 

 

Intel has engaged with a number of major manufacturers of thermal / voltage sensors 

to provide devices for the SST bus. Contact your Intel Field Sales representative for 

the current list of manufacturers and visit their web sites or local sales representatives 

for a part suitable for your design.
