The Thermal Management Expansion Board Kit (EBK) supports:
-
Fan control of up to four 4-wire fans (both firmware or hardware based)
-
Temperature sensing of a combination of six different analog and digital sensors
-
EEPROM based data logging capabilities
-
I2C/SMbus/PMbus host interface
-
Thermal zone management: the relationship between temperatures and fan speeds
-
Algorithms to detect thermal and cooling failures or warnings
Cypress’s PSoC Thermal Management solution provides you with the flexibility to directly control the greatest number of fans and interface to the largest set of digital or analog temperature sensors while at the same time enabling you to offload thermal management tasks typically performed in the host application processor. With this easy-to-use flexibility, you make the call regarding how much or how little you want controlled by the PSoC solution given your specific application.
The PSoC Thermal Management Expansion Board Kit enables you to evaluate System Thermal Management functions and capabilities of the PSoC architecture. It is part of the PSoC development kit ecosystem and requires a host development board in order to use it. It is designed to work with the CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Kit (sold separately) or the CY8CKIT-030 PSoC 3 Development Kit (sold separately). You can evaluate the example projects described in this guide or design and customize your own System Thermal Management solution using components in Cypress's PSoC Creator™ software (included) or by altering example projects provided with this kit.
