The F75385 is a temperature sensor IC with alert signal which is specific designed for notebook, graphic cards etc. An 11-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) was built inside F75385. The F75385 can monitor two set of temperature which is very important for the system to work stably and properly. This chip provides 1 remote temperature sensor and 1 local temperature sensor. The remote temperature sensorcan be performed by CPU thermal diode or transistor 2N3906. The users can set up the upper and lower limits (alarm thresholds) of all monitored parameters and this chipcan also issuewarning messages for system protection when there is something wrong with monitored items.

Through the BIOS or application software, the users can read all the monitored parameters of system all the time. And a pop-up warning can be also activated when the monitored item was out of the proper/pre-setting range. The application software could be Fintek's application utility, or other management application software. The F75385 is in the package of 8-pin MSOP and powered by 3.3V.
