TC647 PWM Fan Speed Controller with FanSense Technology Features Package Types SOIC/PDIP/MSOP Temperature Proportional Fan Speed for Acoustic Control and Longer Fan Life V Efficient PWM Fan Drive 18 V IN DD 3.0V to 5.5V Supply Range: C27 V F OUT TC647 - Fan Voltage Independent of TC647 V MIN36 FAULT Supply Voltage - Supports any Fan Voltage GND45 SENSE Technology Fault Detection Circuits FanSense Protect Against Fan Failure and Aid System Testing General Description Shutdown Mode forGree Systems The TC647 is a switch mode, fan speed controller for Supports Low Cost NTC/PTC Thermistors use with brushless DC fans. Temperature proportional Space Saving 8-Pin MSOP Package speed control is accomplished using pulse width mod- ulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output Applications temperature sensor) connected to V furnishes the IN required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V (typical) for Power Supplies 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle.

If the fault persists, the FAULT output goes low and the device is latched in its shutdown mode. The TC647 is available in the 8-pin plastic DIP, SOIC and MSOP packages and is available in the industrial and extended commercial temperature ranges. 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
