TC642B/TC647B
Description
The TC642B/TC647B devices are new versions of the
existing TC642/TC647 fan speed controllers. These
devices are switch mode, fan speed controllers that
incorporate a new fan auto-restart function. Tempera-
ture-proportional speed control is accomplished using
pulse width modulation. A thermistor (or other voltage
output temperature sensor) connected to the V
IN
input
supplies the required control voltage of 1.20V to 2.60V
(typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. Minimum fan
speed is set by a simple resistor divider on the V
MIN
input. An integrated Start-Up Timer ensures reliable
motor start-up at turn-on, coming out of shutdown
mode or following a transient fault. A logic-low applied
to V
MIN
(pin 3) causes fan shutdown.
The TC642B and TC647B also feature Microchip
Technology's proprietary FanSense
™
technology for
increasing system reliability. 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 unconnected fan causes the TC642B/
TC647B device to turn the V
OUT
output on full (100%
duty cycle). If the fault persists (a fan current pulse is
not detected within a 32/f period), the FAULT output
goes low. Even with the FAULT output low, the V
OUT
output is on full during the fan fault condition in order to
attempt to restart the fan. FAULT is also asserted if the
PWM reaches 100% duty cycle (TC642B only), indicat-
ing that maximum cooling capability has been reached
and a possible overheating condition exists.
The TC642B and TC647B devices are available in 8-pin
plastic MSOP, SOIC and PDIP packages. The specified
temperature range of these devices is -40 to +85ºC.
