value starts to be increased, if temperature falls below this
value. This has the net effect of reducing the fan speed,
allowing the system to get hotter. An interrupt can be
generated when the temperature drops below the low limit.
value starts to be reduced, if temperature increases above
this value. This has the net effect of increasing fan speed to
cool down the system. An interrupt can be generated when
the temperature rises above the high limit.

registers allow the high and low limit temperatures to be
programmed with 1°C resolution.
Temperature Limit Registers
Register 0x4E, Remote 1 Temperature Low Limit = 0x01
Register 0x4F, Remote 1 Temperature High Limit = 0x7F
Register 0x50, Local Temperature Low Limit = 0x01
There are three operating point registers, one for each
The low limit defines the temperature at which the T
The high limit defines the temperature at which the T
There are six limit registers; a high limit and low limit are
