10.2.2TachometerValueRegister(TACHVn)
The tachometer value register, TACHVn, holds the 16-bit value of the tachometer’s up-counting timer . Enabling/dis-
abling the tachometer with the TACHE bit does not reset this count value; it must be cleared explicitly by software . This
register is cleared to 0000h on all forms of reset and has unrestricted read/write access .
10.2.3TachometerCaptureRegister(TACHRn)
The tachometer capture register, TACHRn, stores the 16-bit value in TACHVn when a tachometer capture occurs . The
TACHRn value indicates how many prescaled system clock pulses occurred during one revolution of the fan, assum-
ing the revolution prescaler is set correctly . The value in TACHRn is typically used to calculate fan speed in fan control
applications . This register is cleared to 0000h on all forms of reset and has unrestricted read/write access .
10.2.3TachometerRegisterLocations
The addresses for the tachometer registers are given as “Mx[yy],” where x is the module number (from 0 to 5 decimal)
and yy is the register index (from 00h to 1Fh hexadecimal) .
shows the address for these registers for each
of the six tachometer blocks (TACH .n) .

10.3TachometerPinandGPIOMultiplexing
When the tachometer’s pin functionality is disabled (TEXEN = 0), that pin can be used as a GPIO . The tachometer
pins are mapped to GPIO port P2[5:0] .
shows the mapping of the MAX31782 tachometer pins . Refer to
SECTION 11: General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Pins
for information on using the tachometer pins as GPIO .
