If one of the algorithms is enabled then setting the TACH Target Register to FFh will disable the fan
driver (set the fan drive setting to 0%). Setting the TACH Target to any other value (from a setting of
FFh) will cause the algorithm to invoke the Spin Up Routine after which it will function normally.
The Tach Target is not applied until the high byte is written. Once the high byte is written, the current
value of both high and low bytes will be used as the next Tach target. 3
The TACH Reading Registers’ contents describe the current tachometer reading for each of the fan.
By default, the data represents the fan speed as the number of 32kHz clock periods that occur for a
single revolution of the fan.

measuring 5 edges, with a frequency of 32.768kHz.
Whenever the high byte register is read, the corresponding low byte data will be loaded to internal
shadow registers so that when the low byte is read, the data will always coincide with the previously
read high byte.
