In the Auto Fan mode, if a zone exceeds the temperature set in the Absolute Temperature Limit register, all of
the PWM outputs will incresase its duty cycle to 100%. This is a safety feature that attempts to cool the system if
there is a potentially catastrophic thermal event. If set to 80h (-128°C), the feature is disabled.
Default=100°C=64h
These registers become Read Only when the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit is set. Any further
attempts to write to these registers shall have no effect. After power up the default values are used whenever the
Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Start bit is cleared even though modifications to these registers are possible.
