Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations

5.4.2

PECI Specifications

5.4.2.1

PECI Device Address

The PECI device address for the socket is 30h. For more information on PECI domains,

refer to the Platform Environment Control Interface Specification.

5.4.2.2

PECI Command Support

PECI command support is covered in detail in the Platform Environment Control

Interface Specification. Refer to this document for details on supported PECI command

function and codes.

5.4.2.3

PECI Fault Handling Requirements

PECI is largely a fault tolerant interface, including noise immunity and error checking

improvements over other comparable industry standard interfaces. The PECI client is

as reliable as the device that it is embedded in, and thus given operating conditions

that fall under the specification, the PECI will always respond to requests and the

protocol itself can be relied upon to detect any transmission failures. There are,

however, certain scenarios where the PECI is know to be unresponsive.

Prior to a power on RESET# and during RESET# assertion, PECI is not ensured to

provide reliable thermal data. System designs should implement a default power-on

condition that ensures proper processor operation during the time frame when reliable

data is not available via PECI.

To protect platforms from potential operational or safety issues due to an abnormal

condition on PECI, the Host controller should take action to protect the system from

possible damaging states. It is recommended that the PECI host controller take

appropriate action to protect the client processor device if valid temperature readings

have not been obtained in response to three consecutive gettemp()s or for a one

second time interval. The host controller may also implement an alert to software in the

event of a critical or continuous fault condition.

5.4.2.4

PECI GetTemp0() Error Code Support

The error codes supported for the processor GetTemp() command are listed in

Table 32.
