12.5 Fan
Jetson Orin NX provides PWM and Tachometer functionality for controlling a fan as part of the
thermal solution. Information on the PWM and Tachometer pins and functions can be found in
the following locations:
Jetson Orin NX Pin Mux
• This is used to configure GPIO14 (PWM) for FAN_PWM and GPIO08 for FAN_TACH. The pin
used for
FAN_PWM is configured as GP_PWM6. The pin used for FAN_TACH is configured
as a GPIO.
Orin (SoC) Technical Reference Manual (TRM)
• Functional descriptions and related registers can be found in the TRM for the FAN_PWM
(PWM chapter).

Name Orin Signal Usage and Description
Recommended
Usage Direction Pin Type
230 GPIO14 GP31_PWM3 Fan PWM Fan Output (note) CMOS – 1.8V
208 GPIO08 GP62 Fan tachometer Fan Input (note) CMOS – 1.8V
Notes:
1. In the Direction column, Output is from Jetson Orin NX. Input is to Jetson Orin NX. Bidir is for Bidirectional signals.
2. The direction indicated for GPIO014 and GPIO08 is associated with their use as Fan PWM/Tach. The pins support GPIO
functionality, so support both input and output operation (bidirectional).
