Overtemperature Events
channels can be detected and dealt with automatically in
automatic fan speed control mode. Register 0x6A to
Register 0x6C are the THERM temperature limits. When a
temperature exceeds its THERM temperature limit, all
PWM outputs run at the maximum PWM duty cycle
(Register 0x38, Register 0x39, and Register 0x3A).
This effectively runs the fans at the fastest allowed speed.
below THERM minus hysteresis. This can be disabled by
setting Bit 2, the boost bit, in Configuration Register 3
(0x78). The hysteresis value for the THERM temperature
limit is the value programmed into the hysteresis registers
(0x6D and 0x6E). The default hysteresis value is 4°C.

Limits, Status Registers, and Interrupts
Limit Values
ADT7476 are high and low limits. These can form the basis of
system status monitoring; a status bit can be set for any
out−of−limit condition and is detected by polling the device.
Alternatively, SMBALERT interrupts can be generated to flag
out−of−limit conditions to a processor or microcontroller.

16−Bit Limits
TACH limits are also 16 bits, consisting of a high byte and
low byte. Because fans running under speed or stalled are
normally the only conditions of interest, only high limits
exist for fan TACHs. Because the fan TACH period is
actually being measured, exceeding the limit indicates a
slow or stalled fan.
