9.1.2 Configuration Examples

The typical example above controls and monitors 6 fans independently but FAN31790 is very flexible in it's configurations. It is possible to monitor more fans but with less overall control by switching the PWMOUTx pins to additional TACH inputs. The extreme is monitoring 12 fans with no PWM outputs remaining. Here are a few common example configurations.
