16−Bit Limits
TACH limits are also 16 bits, consisting of a high byte and
low byte. Since fans running under speed or stalled are
normally the only conditions of interest, only high limits
exist for fan TACHs. Since fan TACH period is actually
being measured, exceeding the limit indicates a slow or
stalled fan.
Out−of−Limit Comparisons
be enabled for monitoring. The ADT7460 measures all
parameters in round−robin format and sets the appropriate
status bit for out−of−limit conditions. Comparisons are done
differently depending on whether the measured value is
being compared to a high or low limit.
