These temperature readings can be in twos complement or Offset 64 format; this interpretation is determined by Bit 0 of Configuration Register 5 (0x7C).
2
If the extended resolution bits of these readings are also being read, the extended resolution registers (Reg. 0x76, 0x77) must be read first. Once the extended
resolution registers have been read, all associated MSB reading registers are frozen until read. Both the extended resolution registers and the MSB registers are frozen.

In twos complement mode, a temperature reading of −128°C (0x80) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel.
4
In Offset 64 mode, a temperature reading of −64°C (0x00) indicates a diode fault (open or short) on that channel.

These registers count the number of 11.11 μs periods (based on an internal 90 kHz clock) that occur between a number of consecutive fan TACH pulses (default = 2).
The number of TACH pulses used to count can be changed using the fan pulses per revolution register (Reg. 0x7B). This allows the fan speed to be accurately
measured. Because a valid fan tachometer reading requires that two bytes are read, the low byte must be read first. Both the low and high bytes are then frozen until
read. At power-on, these registers contain 0x0000 until the first valid fan TACH measurement is read into these registers. This prevents false interrupts from occurring
while the fans are spinning up. A count of 0xFFFF indicates a fan is one of the following:
Stalled or blocked (object jamming the fan).
Failed (internal circuitry destroyed).
Not populated. (The ADT7473 expects to see a fan connected to each TACH. If a fan is not connected to that TACH, its TACH minimum high and low bytes should
be set to 0xFFFF.)
Alternate function, for example, TACH4 reconfigured as THERM pin.

These registers reflect the PWM duty cycle driving each fan at any given time. When in automatic fan speed control mode, the ADT7473 reports the PWM duty cycles
back through these registers. The PWM duty cycle values vary according to temperature in automatic fan speed control mode. During fan startup, these registers
report back 0x00. In software mode, the PWM duty cycle outputs can be set to any duty cycle value by writing to these registers.

These registers become read-only when the Configuration Register 1 lock bit is set to 1. Any subsequent attempts to write to these registers fail.
