15 The GMT G760A Fan Speed PWM Controller is connected directly to a fan
16 and performs closed-loop control of the fan speed.
18 The fan speed is programmed by setting the period via 'pwm1' of two
19 consecutive speed pulses. The period is defined in terms of clock
20 cycle counts of an assumed 32kHz clock source.
22 Setting a period of 0 stops the fan; setting the period to 255 sets
25 The measured fan rotation speed returned via 'fan1_input' is derived
26 from the measured speed pulse period by assuming again a 32kHz clock
27 source and a 2 pulse-per-revolution fan.
29 The 'alarms' file provides access to the two alarm bits provided by
30 the G760A chip's status register: Bit 0 is set when the actual fan
31 speed differs more than 20% with respect to the programmed fan speed;
32 bit 1 is set when fan speed is below 1920 RPM.
34 The g760a driver will not update its values more frequently than every
35 other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
