THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of whether or not Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, in the 
event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when 
the silicon has reached an elevated temperature (refer to the THERMTRIP# definition in 
). At this point, the FSB signal THERMTRIP# will go active and stay active as 
described in 
. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and 
does not generate any bus cycles. Intel also recommends the removal of V
TT
.

Introduction
The introduction of the Dual-Core Intel
® 
Xeon
® 
Processor 5100 Series  marks the 
transition from thermal diodes to digital thermal sensors for fan speed control. Digital 
Thermal Sensors (DTS) are on-die, analog-to-digital temperature converters calibrated 
at the factory for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital representation of relative 
processor temperature. Data from the DTS are processed and stored in a processor 
register which is queried through the Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI). 
PECI is a proprietary one-wire bus interface that provides a communication channel 
between Intel processor and chipset components to external thermal monitoring 
devices. A topology diagram is given in 
. The PECI bus offers:
• A wide speed range from 2 Kbps to 2 Mbps.
• CRC check byte used to efficiently and automatically confirm accurate data delivery
• Synchronization at the beginning of every message minimizes device timing 
accuracy requirements
The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus uses a single wire for self-
clocking and data transfer, and requires no additional control lines.  The physical layer 
is a self-clocked one-wire bus that begins each bit with a driven, rising edge from an 
idle level near zero volts. The duration of the signal driven high depends on whether 
the bit value is a logic '0' or logic '1'.  PECI also includes variable data transfer rate 
established with every message. The single wire interface provides low board routing 
overhead for the multiple load connections in the congested routing area near the 
processor and chipset components.   Bus speed, error checking, and low protocol 
overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and reliability to transfer critical device 
operating conditions and configuration information. 
Note:
The PECI interface is disabled by default, and must be enabled through BIOS by setting 
PECI_EN (bit 0 of Model Specific Register PECI_CTL at address 05A0h) to 1.
