Multiple RPM-Based PWM Fan Controller for Five Fans
Datasheet
‘1’ - The Spin Up Routine will not drive the fan driver to 100%. It will set the drive at the
programmed spin level for the entire duration of the programmed spin up time.
Bits 4 - 2 - SPIN_LVLx[2:0] - Determines the final drive level that is used by the Spin Up Routine as
shown in Table 5.21.

Bit 1 -0 - SPINUP_TIMEx[1:0] - determines the maximum Spin Time that the Spin Up Routine will run
for (see Section 4.6). If a valid tachometer measurement is not detected before the Spin Time has
elapsed, then an interrupt will be generated. When the RPM-based Fan Speed Control Algorithm is
active, the fan driver will attempt to re-start the fan immediately after the end of the last spin up attempt.
The Spin Time is set as shown in Table 5.22.
