Applications

Features

  • Variable speed control of 4-wire fans
  • Current limit & rotor lock protection
  • Both PWM & voltage control inputs
  • Min speed setting
  • Integrated Hall amplifier and voltage bias
  • Available in a 14 lead SOIC RoHS compliant package

Description

Variable speed is adjusted by varying the duty cycle to the PWM control input pin. Minimum RPM is programmable via a resistor divider to Vref. The analog control pin can be used to interface with a thermistor when the PWM input control is not needed.

Current limit, locked rotor and thermal protections are also provided. The 40V MOS output predrivers can source or sink 100mA.
