This register becomes read-only when the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit is set. Any further attempts to write to
this register shall have no effect.
Bits [7:5] Zone/Mode and Bit [3] Alternate Zone/Mode
Bits [7:5] of the Fan Configuration registers associate each fan with a Temperature Zone. When in Auto Fan Mode the fan
will be assigned to a zone, and its PWM duty cycle will be adjusted according to the temperature of that zone. If “Hottest”
option is selected (110), the fan will be controlled by the the hottest of zones 1, 2 or 3. To determine the “hottest zone”, the
PWM level for each zone is calculated then the zone with the higher PWM value (not temperature) is selected. When in
manual control mode, the Current PWM duty register (30-32h) become Read/Write. It is then possible to control the PWM
outputs with software by writing to these registers. When the fan is disabled (100) the corresponding PWM output should be
driven low (or high, if inverted).
Bit-3 enables an alternate set of definitions for the ZON[2:0] Zone/Mode bits described in Table 21.

Table 21 Fan Zone Setting
Bit [4] PWM Invert
Bit [4] inverts the PWM output. If set to 0, 100% duty cycle will yield an output that is always high. If set to 1, 100% duty
cycle will yield an output that is always low.
Bit [2:0] Spin Up
Bits [2:0] specify the ‘spin up’ time for the fan. When a fan is being started from a stationary state, the PWM output is held at
100% duty cycle for the time specified in the table below before scaling to a lower speed.
