Passive Cooling Temperature threshold. 3 LSBs and two MSBs are '0'. For details, refer to the passive cooling
temperature limit in the Temperature Out-of-Range Detection section. Default = 0°C.

The 8 MSBs of Remote Critical temperature shutdown threshold. 3 LSBs are '0'. When the Remote-Temp is equal to or
above this limit, an RCRT interrupt occurs and OVR goes low. Default = +105°C.

DCY0
Actual Duty cycle of PWM output. The duty cycle changes immediately after new data are written into this register. 8-bit,
0.39%/bit, range 0%-100%. Default = 33%.
In read operation, the returned data are the actual DCY value driving the PWM-Out pin with two exceptions. Refer to the
DCY Register section.
In write operation, the data written are the actual DCY value driving the PWM-Out pin in Software-DCY control mode.
In all other control modes, the data are not used to drive the PWM. Instead, they are stored in a temporary register, and
used to control the PWM immediately after the control mode is changed to software-DCY control.

Low byte of TACH count limit corresponding to minimum allowed RPM. Since the TACH circuit counts between TACH
pulses, a slow fan results in a larger measured value. When the measured value is larger than TACH-Low-Limit, the fan
runs below the allowed minimum speed limit.
