Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI) 
DC Specifications
PECI is an Intel proprietary interface that provides a communication channel between 
Intel processors and chipset components to external thermal monitoring devices. The 
processor contains a Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) that reports a relative die 
temperature as an offset from Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) activation temperature. 
Temperature sensors located throughout the die are implemented as analog-to-digital 
converters calibrated at the factory. PECI provides an interface for external devices to 
read the DTS temperature for thermal management and fan speed control. For the 
PECI command set supported by the processor, refer to the appropriate processor 
Thermal and Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines for additional information 
(see 
).
7.11.1
DC Characteristics
The PECI interface operates at a nominal voltage set by V
TT
. The set of DC electrical 
specifications shown in 
 is used with devices normally operating from a V
TT
 
interface supply. V
TT
 nominal levels will vary between processor families. All PECI 
devices will operate at the V
TT
 level determined by the processor installed in the 
system. For specific nominal V
TT
 levels, refer to 
.
Notes:
1.
V
TT 
supplies the PECI interface. PECI behavior does not affect V
TT
 min/max specifications.
2.
The leakage specification applies to powered devices on the PECI bus.
