NOTES:
1.
A PWM frequency of 25 kHz is the design target for the reference and for the Intel
®
Boxed Processor and the reference design.
2.
Use the lowest time available in this range for the device selected.
3.
To ensure compliance with the thermal specification, thermal profile and usage of the
T
SENSOR
for fan speed control these setting should not be user configurable.
4.
If present in the FSC device the Thermal Diode Correction Factor should be input to this
register.
5.
If the FSC device does not have a means to input a fixed temperature offset then:
T
