General Description
The TC652/TC653 are integrated temperature sensors
and brushless DC fan speed controllers with
FanSense
™
technology. The TC652/TC653 measure
their junction temperature and control the speed of the
fan based on that temperature, making them especially
suited for applications in modern electronic equipment.
The FanSense
™
Fan Fault detect circuitry eliminates
the need for a more expensive 3-wire fan.
Temperature data is converted from the on-chip
thermal sensing element and translated into a
fractional fan speed from 40% to 100%. A temperature
selection guide in the data sheet is used to choose the
low and high temperature limits to control the fan. The
TC652/TC653 also include a single trip point over
temperature alert (T
OVER
) that eliminates the need for
additional temperature sensors. In addition, the TC653
includes an auto fan shutdown function for additional
power savings.
The TC652/TC653 are easy to use, require no software
overhead and are therefore the ideal choice for
implementing thermal management in a variety of
systems.

FAULT
Description
Power Supply Input. May be independent of fan power supply.
Fan Fault Alert, Active-Low Output. FAULT goes low to indicate a fan FAULT condition.
When FAULT occurs, the device is latched in Shutdown mode with PWM low. Toggling
the SHDN pin or cycling the V
DD
will release the part and fan from shutdown. FAULT will
unconditionally remain high during shutdown.
Fan Shutdown, Active-Low Input. During Shutdown mode the chip still monitors
temperature and T
OVER
is low if temperature rises above factory set point.
Ground return for all TC652/TC653 functions.
Detect Fan Pulses Input. Pulses are detected at this pin as fan rotation chops the current
through the sense resistor, R
SENSE
. The absence of pulses indicates a Fan Fault.
Over-Temperature Alert, Active-Low Output.
Ground.
PWM Fan Drive Output. Pulse width modulated rail-to-rail logic output. Nominal

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
TABLE 3-2:
The TC652/TC653 acquire and convert their junction
temperature (T
J
) information from an on-chip solid
state sensor with a typical accuracy of ±1°C. The
temperature data is digitally stored in an internal
register. The register is compared with pre-defined
threshold values. The six threshold values are equally
distributed over a pre-defined range of temperatures
(See Table 3-1 and Table 3-2). The TC652/TC653
control the speed of a DC brushless fan using a
fractional speed control scheme. The output stage
requires only a 2N2222-type small-signal BJT for fans
up to 300mA. For larger current fans (up to 1 Amp) a
logic-level N-channel MOSFET may be used. In
addition to controlling the speed of the fan, the TC652/
TC653 include an on-chip over-temperature alarm
(T
OVER
) that gives a low-true signal when the
temperature of the chip exceeds T
H
by 10°C. This
feature eliminates the need for a separate temperature
sensor for over-temperature monitoring.
In normal fan operation, a pulse-train is present at
SENSE, Pin 5. A Missing Pulse Detector monitors this
pin during fan operation (FanSense
™
technology). A
stalled, open, or unconnected fan causes the TC652/
TC653 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. To release the fan from
shutdown, toggle the SHDN or V
DD
pin.

PWM Output
The PWM pin is designed to drive a low cost transistor
or MOSFET as the low side power switching element in
the system. This output has an asymmetric
complementary drive and is optimized for driving NPN
transistors or N-channel MOSFETs. Since the system
relies on PWM rather than linear power control, the
dissipation in the power switch is kept to a minimum.
Generally, very small devices (TO-92 or SOT
packages) will suffice. The frequency of the PWM is
about 15Hz. The PWM is also the time base for the
Start-up Timer (see paragraphs below). The PWM duty
cycle has a range of 40% to 100% for the TC652 and
50% to 100% for the TC653.
