EC FW - DTS
Introduction and Operating Principle of Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) The Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) was first used in Intel's dual-core processor architecture. Because each core can operate independently or pause, the overall CPU chip temperature varies depending on the operating status of each core. To more accurately monitor and manage temperature, Intel designed DTS to provide real-time temperature information for each core to the system BIOS. When the CPU temperature reaches a certain threshold, DTS will...SMI(System Management Interrupt)An interrupt is triggered, notifying the system BIOS. The SMI interrupt service routine in the BIOS is then called, which reads the real-time temperature of each core and sets the next upper and lower temperature thresholds.
