The range of DC output is 0~3.3V, controlled by 8-bit register. 1 LSB is about 0.013V.
The output DC voltage is amplified by external OP circuit, thus to reach maximum FAN
OPERATION VOLTAGE, 12V. The output voltage will be given as followed:
Programmed 8bit Register Value
Output_voltage (V) = 3.3×

PWM duty Fan Control
The duty cycle of PWM can be programmed by a 8-bit register. The default duty cycle
is set to 100%, that is, the default 8-bit registers is set to FFh. The expression of duty can be
represented as follows.
