Default
Description
6
Remote Diode
1 Fault
R
0
The aSC7621 automatically sets this bit to 1 when there is an open circuit fault
on the Remote1+ or Remote1- thermal diode input pins. A diode fault will also
set bit 4 Zone 1 Limit bit, of Interrupt Status Register 1.
7
Remote Diode
2 Fault
R
0
The aSC7621 automatically sets this bit to 1 when there is an open circuit fault
on the Remote2+ or Remote2- thermal diode input pins. A diode fault will also
set bit 6 Zone 3 Limit bit, of Interrupt Status Register 1.

The Interrupt Status Register 3 bits will be automatically set, by the aSC7621, whenever a fault condition is detected.
Interrupt Status Register 3 identifies faults caused by Temperature Zone exceeding absolute limits, PECI Communication
Error, PECI Data Error and Zone 4 Temperature limit exceeded. Interrupt Status Register 3 will hold a set bit until the event
is read by software. The contents of this register will be cleared (set to 0) automatically by the aSC7621 after it is read by
software, if fault condition no longer exists. Once set, the Interrupt Status Register 3 bits will remain set until a read event
occurs, even if the fault no longer exists. This register is read only – a write to this register has no effect.

DATA
R
0
The aSC7621 sets this bit when any of the PECI Processor Status reports
PECI ERROR = 1 and PECI Underflow = 1, this indicates a Data error
occurred with a PECI processor.

The Fan Tachometer Reading registers contains the number of 11.111
μs periods (90 kHz) between full fan revolutions. The
results are based on the time interval of two tachometer pulses, since most fans produce two tachometer pulses per full
