W83697HF/F
9.4.2 Fan speed control
The W83697HF provides 2 sets for fan PWM speed control. The duty cycle of PWM can be programmed
by a 8-bit registers which are defined in the Bank0 CR5A and CR5B. 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.

The PWM clock frequency also can be program and defined in the Bank0.CR5C . The application circuit
is shown as follows.
