Description
The AH5798 is a single chip solution for driving single-coil
brushless direct current (BLDC) fans and motors. The
integrated full-bridge driver output stage uses soft switching
to minimize audible switching noise and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) providing a low noise solution.
To help protect the motor coil, the AH5798 provides Rotor
Lock Protection which shuts down output drive if rotor lock is
detected. The device automatically re-starts when the rotor
lock is removed. Over temperature shutdown provides
thermal protection for the device.
A Tachometer output is provided by open-drain Frequency
Generator (FG) Pin which allows external interface to monitor
motor rotation or speed. The FG output is the magnetic
change frequency.
The AH5798 is available in space saving SOT89-5L and
thinner TSOT25 packages.
