Working Principles

The DS1834DS utilizes an internal temperature sensor to measure the ambient temperature. It converts the analog temperature reading into a digital value and provides it through the I2C interface. Based on the programmed temperature thresholds, the DS1834DS adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM output, controlling the connected fan's speed. The ALERT pin can be used to generate interrupts when temperature thresholds are crossed.
