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