The Fan Tachometer value may be updated every 300ms, 500ms, or 1000ms.
FAN TACHOMETER OPTIONS FOR MODE 2
Fan Tachometer Reading Registers:
The Tachometer Reading registers are 16 bits, unsigned. When one byte of a 16-bit register is read, the
other byte latches the current value until it is read, in order to ensure a valid reading. The order is LSB first,
MSB second. The value FFFFh indicates that the fan is not spinning, or the tachometer input is not
connected to a valid signal (this could be triggered by a counter overflow). These registers are read
only – a write to these registers has no effect.
Notes:
2, 3, 5 or 9 “edges” to calculate the fan speed (Figure 4)
Guard time A is programmable (8-63 clocks) to account for delays in the system (Figure 4)
PWM Stretching options: 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800msec, and 950msec.
The PWM frequencies for modes 1 & 2 are: 11.0 Hz, 14.6 Hz, 21.9 Hz, 29.3 Hz, 35.2 Hz, 44.0 Hz,
58.6 Hz, 87.7Hz
Option to ignore first 3 tachometer edges after guard time
Option to force tach reading register to FFFEh to indicate a slow fan.
The Fan Tachometer Reading registers always return an accurate fan tachometer measurement,
even when a fan is disabled or non-functional.
FFFFh indicates that the fan is not spinning, or the tachometer input is not connected to a valid
signal (This could be triggered by a counter overflow).
The Tachometer registers are read only – a write to these registers has no effect.
Mode 1 should be enabled and the tachometer limit register should be set to FFFFh if a tachometer
input is left unconnected.
