Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog:
Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as
Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has
added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the
Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in
volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs.
We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel
specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We
have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition
to those in the Intel-specified vendor range.
Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes.
The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan
PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a
high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the
next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low
byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data
sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits
are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We
chose not to mask them.
We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the
data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth
when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution
temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user
intervention.
We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain
outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm
outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah.
We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any
temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment
that follows Intel's specs.
Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of
a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no
indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone
is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register
00h.
Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such
that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine
PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes.
PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per
PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI
address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone
assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default
Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with
individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control.
This is in register 0Eh.
The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many
fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans
may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h.
Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach
measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is
in register 75h.

aSC7621 Product Description
The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0.
Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode
connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform
Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included.
Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed
control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving
recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation
(PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three,
temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported.
The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
impact.
The aSC7621 has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four fans.
Limit and status registers for all measured values are included to alert
the system host that any measurements are outside of programmed limits
via status registers.
System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are
monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors.

via the PECI bus. Usually these are "core" temps and are relative
to the point where the automatic thermal control circuit starts
throttling. This means that these are usually negative numbers.

2 Fan on automatic control and will run at the minimum pwm
if the temperature for the zone is below the minimum.
