AH285
HALL-EFFECT SMART FAN MOTOR CONTROLLER
Description
The AH285 is a single-chip solution for driving two-coil brushless
direct current (BLDC) fans and motors. The device includes a Hall-
effect sensor, dynamic offset correction and two complementary
open-drain output drivers with internal Zener diode protection.
To help protect the motor coils, the AH285 provides Rotor Lock
Protection which shuts down output drives if rotor lock is detected.
The device automatically re-starts when the rotor lock is removed.
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 AH285 is available in SOT89-5 package.

Notes:
4. Typically it is recommended to us a 56resistor for R1 and R2 and a 2.2μF E-Cap capacitor for C1, C2 and C3. These values may
need to be optimized depending on the coils used.
To help with IC protection it’s advised to add a Zener diode between Vdd and ground. The Zener diode should be chosen to help
prevent the supply voltage exceeding the maximum rating of the device.
