8.1.4 Computing RPM of the Fan from the TACH Count

The Tach Count Registers 46HEX and 47HEX count the number of periods of the 90 kHz tachometer clock in the LM64 for the tachometer input from the fan assuming a 2 pulse per revolution fan tachometer, such as the fans supplied with the Pentium 4 boxed processors. The RPM of the fan can be computed from the Tach Count Registers 46HEX and 47HEX. This can best be shown through an example.

Example:

Given: the fan used has a tachometer output with 2 per revolution.

Let:

Register 46 (LSB) is BFHEX = Decimal (11 x 16) + 15 = 191 and

Register 47 (MSB) is 7HEX = Decimal (7 x 256) = 1792.

The total Tach Count, in decimal, is 191 + 1792 = 1983.

The RPM is computed using the formula

Equation 6. GUID-618245B4-A418-45BE-83AE-5B081F66FAB7-low.gif

where

f = 1 for 2 pulses/rev fan tachometer output;

f = 2 for 1 pulse/rev fan tachometer output, and

f = 2 / 3 for 3 pulses/rev fan tachometer output

For our example
