0020 From the datasheet:
0021
0022 "The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
0023 control capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
0024 This ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
0025 voltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
0026 measures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
0027 multiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
0028 that it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
0029 fans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
0030 QFN package."
0031
0032 The device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
0033 register-incompatible.
0034
0035 The driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
0036 temperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
0037 supported, and neither is fan speed control.
