This register specifies the PWM frequency and the fan spin-up functions.
Fan Spin Disable Bit: FSPD
This bit enables or disables the spin-up function.
PWM Frequency Bits: [PWM2:PWM0]
These bits specify the PWM frequency; the high range (1kHz–40kHz) has a default value of 25kHz, and the low
range (10Hz–94Hz) has a default value of 30Hz. The clock frequency is 12.8MHz. The PWM-MODE pin
determines which range is selected. When the PWM mode is tied to ground, the high range is selected;
otherwise, the low range is selected.
Spin-Up Time Bits: [STIME2:STIME0]
These bits specify a predetermined time period, or spin-up time, during which the 100% duty cycle is applied to
start the fan spinning. These bits are ignored when FSPD = 1.
