Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From the datasheet:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
"The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
 | 
						|
control capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
 | 
						|
This ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
 | 
						|
voltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
 | 
						|
measures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
 | 
						|
multiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
 | 
						|
that it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
 | 
						|
fans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
 | 
						|
QFN package."
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
 | 
						|
register-incompatible.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
 | 
						|
temperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
 | 
						|
supported, and neither is fan speed control.
