General Description
The TC646 is a switch mode, fan speed controller for
use with brushless DC fans. Temperature proportional
speed control is accomplished using pulse width mod-
ulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output
temperature sensor) connected to the V
IN
input fur-
nishes the required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V
(typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. The TC646
automatically suspends fan operation when measured
temperature (V
IN
) is below a user programmed
minimum setting (V
AS
). An integrated Start-up Timer
ensures reliable motor start-up at turn-on, coming out
of shutdown mode, auto-shutdown mode or following a
transient fault.
The TC646 features Microchip Technology's proprie-
tary FanSense™ technology for increasing system reli-
ability. In normal fan operation, a pulse train is present
at SENSE (Pin 5). A missing-pulse detector monitors
this pin during fan operation. A stalled, open, or uncon-
nected fan causes the TC646 to trigger its Start-up
Timer once. If the fault persists, the FAULT
output goes
low and the device is latched in its shutdown mode.
FAULT
is also asserted if the PWM reaches 100% duty
cycle, indicating a possible thermal runaway situation,
although the fan continues to run. See Section 5.0,
“Typical Applications”, for more information and system
design guidelines.
The TC646 is available in the 8-pin plastic DIP, SOIC
and MSOP packages and is available in the industrial
and extended commercial temperature ranges.
