If you're referring to the issue noted, it is not explicitly published 
anywhere that I'm aware of other than being functionally described on 
pg22 within the MAX31785 datasheet under the 'Dual Fan Applicaitons' 
paragraph(https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX31785.pdf). We 
have worked with Maxim to get this addressed as the method of latching 
the TACHSEL during speed transitions gives windows of being unable to 
detect fan failures of the rotor that is not being read during the 
transition.

In reference to revision "B" being published, Maxim provided a couple 
samples with the issue noted fixed where it was noticed the MFR_REVISION 
bumped to 0x3061. After I had verified the functionality of this 
revision, they have started production of 31785's with this revision "B" 
firmware. I can not speak to if/when they will update their datasheet.
