Working Principles

The ADM1026JSTZ-R7 operates by measuring the temperature using an internal sensor. It converts the analog temperature reading into a digital value and communicates it through the I2C bus. Based on the programmed temperature limits and hysteresis, it controls the fan speed either by adjusting the PWM signal or varying the DC voltage supplied to the fan. The IC continuously monitors the temperature and adjusts the fan speed accordingly to maintain optimal thermal conditions.
