As discussed in previous sections, the V
has a range of 1.62 V to 2.6 V (typical), which repre-
sents a duty cycle range on the V
100%, respectively. The V
as representing temperatures. The 1.62 V level is the
low temperature at which the system only requires 30%
fan speed for proper cooling. The 2.6 V level is the high
temperature, for which the system needs maximum
cooling capability, so the fan needs to be at 100%
speed.
One of the simplest ways of sensing temperature over
a given range is to use a thermistor. By using an NTC
thermistor as shown in Figure 7-3, a temperature vari-
ant voltage can be created.

There are many values that can be chosen for the NTC
thermistor. There are also thermistors that have a linear
resistance, instead of logarithmic, which can help to
eliminate R

Example: The following design goals are desired:
• Duty Cycle = 50% (V
• Duty Cycle = 100% (V
Using a 100 k thermistor (25°C value), we look up the
thermistor values at the desired temperatures:

Substituting these numbers into the given equations,
