6-Channel Intelligent Fan Controller
fan’s PWM duty cycle is between 40% and 80%. The
masured fan speed is also compared to the expected
at 100% duty cycle. In the 40% to 80% range, a fan’s
expected fan-speed profile is approximately linear. At
duty cycles outside this range (with the exception of
100%), the shape of the expected fan-speed profile
varies too much between fans, and it is not possible to
predict an expected speed.

A fan-health-color bit in STATUS_FANS_1_2 is set based
upon the difference between the measured and expect-
ed fan speed and the FAN_HEALTH_CRITERIA bits in
MFR_MODE, as shown in Table 8. If the fan PWM duty
cycle is less than 40% or between 80% and 100%, a
fan-health color cannot be assigned and all the color
bits are cleared. If the fan is unstable, the YELLOW color
bit is set.
