Programming the PWM Maximum Duty Cycle

Registers

The PWM maximum duty cycle registers are 8−bit

registers that allow the maximum PWM duty cycle for each

output to be configured anywhere from 0% to 100%. This

allows the maximum PWM duty cycle to be set in steps of

0.39%.

The value to be programmed into the PWM maximum

duty cycle register is given by:

Value (decimal) = PWMMAX/0.39

Example 1: For a maximum PWM duty cycle of 50%,

Value (decimal) – 50/0.39 = 128 (decimal)

Value = 128 (decimal) or 80 (hex)

Example 2: For a minimum PWM duty cycle of 75%,

Value (decimal) = 75/0.39 = 85 (decimal)

Value = 192 (decimal) or C0 (hex)

Step 6—TRANGE for Temperature Channels

TRANGE is the range of temperature over which automatic

fan control occurs once the programmed TMIN temperature

has been exceeded. TRANGE is the temperature range between

PWMMIN and 100% PWM where the fan speed changes

linearly. Otherwise stated, it is the line drawn between the

TMIN/PWMMIN and the (TMIN + TRANGE)/PWM100%

intersection points.

TRANGE

The TRANGE is determined by the following procedure:

1. Determine the maximum operating temperature for

that channel (for example, 70

°C).

2. Determine experimentally the fan speed (PWM

duty cycle value) that does not exceed the

temperature at the worst−case operating points.

For example, 70

°C is reached when the fans are

running at 50% PWM duty cycle.

3. Determine the slope of the required control loop to

meet these requirements.

4. Using the ADT7476 evaluation software, you can

graphically program and visualize this

functionality.

As PWMMIN is changed, the automatic fan control slope

changes.

As TRANGE is changed, the slope changes. As TRANGE

gets smaller, the fans reach 100% speed with a smaller

temperature change.
