Table 7. Tachometer Count And Limit Registers
ADDRESS READ/ POR
BITS NAME DESCRIPTION
HEX WRITE VALUE
47
HEX
TACHOMETER COUNT (MSB) and 46
HEX
TACHOMETER COUNT (LSB) REGISTERS (16 bits: Read LSB first to lock MSB and
ensure MSB and LSB are from the same reading)
Tachometer
These registers contain the current 16-bit Tachometer
47 Read Only 7:0 N/A
Count (MSB)
Count, representing the period of time between tach pulses.
Note that the 16-bit tachometer MSB and LSB are reversed
