General Description
The TC642 is a switch mode fan speed controller for
use with brushless DC fans. Temperature proportional
speed control is accomplished using pulse width modulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output
temperature sensor) connected to the VIN input furnishes the required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V
(typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. Minimum fan
speed is set by a simple resistor divider on the VMIN
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 VMIN (Pin 3) causes fan shutdown.
The TC642 also features 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 TC642 to trigger its Startup 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 TC642 is available in the standard 8-pin plastic
DIP, SOIC and MSOP packages and is available in the
commercial, extended commercial and industrial
temperature ranges.

Power Supply Input
The FAULT line goes low to indicate a fault condition.
When FAULT goes low due to a fan fault condition, the
device is latched in shutdown mode until deliberately
cleared or until power is cycled. FAULT may be connected to VMIN if a hard shutdown is desired. FAULT
will also be asserted when the PWM reaches 100%
duty cycle, indicating that maximum cooling capability
has been reached and a possible over-temperature
condition may occur. This is a non-latching state and
the FAULT output will go high when the PWM duty
cycle goes below 100%.
2.1
Analog Input (VIN)
The thermistor network (or other temperature sensor)
connects to the VIN input. A voltage range of 1.25V to
2.65V (typical) on this pin drives an active duty cycle of
0% to 100% on the VOUT pin.
2.2
Analog Output (CF)
CF is the positive terminal for the PWM ramp generator
timing capacitor. The recommended CF is 1 µF for
30 Hz PWM operation.
2.3
Analog Input (VMIN)
An external resistor divider connected to the VMIN input
sets the minimum fan speed by fixing the minimum
PWM duty cycle (1.25V to 2.65V = 0% to 100%, typical). The TC642 enters shutdown mode when VMIN 
VSHDN. During shutdown, the FAULT output is inactive
and supply current falls to 25 µA (typical). The TC642
exits shutdown mode when VMIN  VREL (see
Section 5.0, “Typical Applications”).

Digital Output (FAULT)
Digital Output (VOUT)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
3.1
PWM
Note:
The PWM circuit consists of a ramp generator and
threshold detector. The frequency of the PWM is determined by the value of the capacitor connected to the CF
input. A frequency of 30 Hz is recommended
(CF = 1 µF). The PWM is also the time base for the
Start-up Timer (see Section 3.4, “Start-Up Timer”). The
PWM voltage control range is 1.25V to 2.65V (typical)
for 0% to 100% output duty cycle.
3.2
At this point, action must be taken to restart
the fan by momentarily pulling VMIN below
VSHDN, or cycling system power. In either
case, the fan cannot remain disabled due
to a fault condition, as severe system damage could result. If the fan cannot be
restarted, the system should be shut down.
The TC642 may be configured to continuously attempt
fan restarts, if so desired.
Continuous restart mode is enabled by connecting the
FAULT output to VMIN through a 0.01 µF capacitor, as
shown in Figure 3-1. When connected in this manner,
the TC642 automatically attempts to restart the fan
every time a fault condition occurs. When the FAULT
output is driven low, the VMIN input is momentarily
pulled below VSHDN, initiating a reset and clearing the
fault condition. Normal fan start-up is then attempted as
previously described. The FAULT output may be
connected to external logic (or the interrupt input of a
microcontroller) to shut the TC642 down if multiple fault
pulses are detected at approximately one second
intervals. Diode D1, capacitor C1 and resistors R5 and
R6 are provided to ensure fan restarts are the result of
a fan fault and not an over-temperature fault. A CMOS
logic OR gate may be substituted for these
components, if available.
FAULT Output
The TC642 detects faults in two ways.
First, pulses appearing at SENSE due to the PWM
turning on are blanked, with the remaining pulses
filtered by a missing pulse detector. If consecutive
pulses are not detected for 32 PWM cycles (1 Sec if
CF = 1 µF), the Diagnostic Timer is activated, and VOUT
is driven high continuously for three PWM cycles
(100 msec if CF = 1 µF). If a pulse is not detected
within this window, the Start-up Timer is triggered (see
Section 3.4). This should clear a transient fault condition. If the missing pulse detector times out again, the
PWM is stopped and FAULT goes low. When FAULT is
activated due to this condition, the device is latched in
shutdown mode and will remain off indefinitely.

TC642
The second condition by which the TC642 detects a
fault is when the PWM control voltage applied to VIN
becomes greater than that needed to drive 100% duty
cycle (see Section 1.0, “Electrical Characteristics”).
This indicates that the fan is at maximum drive and the
potential exists for system overheating. Either heat dissipation in the system has gone beyond the cooling
system’s design limits or some subtle fault exists (such
as fan bearing failure or an airflow obstruction). This
output may be treated as a system overheat warning
and be used to trigger system shutdown. However, in
this case, the fan will continue to run even when FAULT
is asserted. If a shutdown is desired, FAULT may be
connected to VMIN outside the device. This will latch the
TC642 in shutdown mode when any fault occurs.
3.3
VOUT Output
The VOUT pin is designed to drive a low cost transistor
or MOSFET as the low side power switching element
in the system. Various examples of driver circuits will
be shown throughout this data sheet. This output has
asymmetric complementary drive and is optimized for
driving NPN transistors or N-channel MOSFETs. Since
the system relies on PWM rather than linear control,
the power dissipation in the power switch is kept to a
minimum. Generally, very small devices (TO-92 or
SOT packages) will suffice.
3.4
Start-Up Timer
To ensure reliable fan start-up, the Start-up Timer turns
the VOUT output on for 32 cycles of the PWM whenever
the fan is started from the off state. This occurs at
power-up and when coming out of shutdown mode. If
the PWM frequency is 30 Hz (CF = 1 µF), the resulting
start-up time will be approximately one second. If a
fault is detected, the Diagnostic Timer is triggered
once, followed by the Start-up Timer. If the fault persists, the device is shut down (see Section 3.2, “FAULT
Output”).
DS21444D-page 6
3.5
Shutdown Control (Optional)
If VMIN (Pin 3) is pulled below VSHDN, the TC642 will go
into shutdown mode. This can be accomplished by
driving VMIN with an open-drain logic signal or by using
an external transistor, as shown in Figure 3-1. All functions are suspended until the voltage on VMIN becomes
higher than VREL (0.85V @ VDD = 5.0V). Pulling VMIN
below VSHDN will always result in complete device
shutdown and reset. The FAULT output is
unconditionally inactive in shutdown mode.
A small amount of hysteresis, typically one percent of
VDD (50 mV at VDD = 5.0V), is designed into the VSHDN
and VREL thresholds. The levels specified for VSHDN
and VREL in Section 1.0, “Electrical Characteristics”,
include this hysteresis, plus adequate margin to
account for normal variations in the absolute value of
the threshold and hysteresis.
CAUTION: Shutdown mode is unconditional. That is,
the fan will not be activated regardless of the voltage
at VIN. The fan should not be shut down until all heat
producing activity in the system is at a negligible level.
3.6
SENSE Input
(FanSense™ Technology)
The SENSE input (Pin 5) is connected to a low value
current sensing resistor in the ground return leg of the
fan circuit. During normal fan operation, commutation
occurs as each pole of the fan is energized. This
causes brief interruptions in the fan current, seen as
pulses across the sense resistor. If the device is not in
shutdown mode, and pulses are not appearing at the
SENSE input, a fault exists.
The short, rapid change in fan current (high dI/dt)
causes a corresponding dV/dt across the sense
resistor, RSENSE. The waveform on RSENSE is differentiated and converted to a logic-level pulse-train by
CSENSE and the internal signal processing circuitry.
The presence and frequency of this pulse-train is a
direct indication of fan operation (see Section 5.0, “Typical Applications”, for more details).

SYSTEM BEHAVIOR

The flowcharts describing the TC642’s behavioral
algorithm are shown in Figure 4-1. They can be
summarized as follows:
4.1
Power-Up
(1) Assuming the device is not being held in shutdown
mode (VMIN > VREL)…
(2) Turn VOUT output on for 32 cycles of the PWM
clock. This ensures that the fan will start from a
dead stop.
Fan Fault
Fan fault is an infinite loop wherein the TC642 is
latched in shutdown mode. This mode can only be
released by a reset (i.e., VMIN being brought below
VSHDN, then above VREL, or by power-cycling).
(1) While in this state, FAULT is latched on (low) and
the VOUT output is disabled.
(2) A reset sequence applied to the VMIN pin will exit
the loop to Power-Up.
(3) End.
(3) During this Start-up Timer, if a fan pulse is
detected, branch to Normal Operation; if none are
received…
(4) Activate the 32-cycle Start-up Timer one more time
and look for a fan pulse; if a fan pulse is detected,
proceed to Normal Operation; if none are
received…
(5) Proceed to Fan Fault.
(6) End.
4.2
Normal Operation
Normal Operation is an endless loop which may only
be exited by entering shutdown mode or Fan Fault. The
loop can be thought of as executing at the frequency of
the oscillator and PWM.
(1) Reset the missing pulse detector.
(2) Is TC642 in shutdown? If so…
a. VOUT duty cycle goes to zero.
b. FAULT is disabled.
c. Exit the loop and wait for VMIN > VREL to
resume operation (indistinguishable
power-up).
from
(3) If an over-temperature fault occurs (VIN > VOTF),
activate FAULT; release FAULT when VIN < VOTF.
(4) Drive VOUT to a duty cycle proportional to the
greater of VIN and VMIN on a cycle by cycle basis.
(5) If a fan pulse is detected, branch back to the start
of the loop (1).
(6) If the missing pulse detector times out …
(7) Activate the 3-cycle Diagnostic Timer and look for
pulses; if a fan pulse is detected, branch back to
the start of the loop (1); if none are received…
(8) Activate the 32-cycle Start-up Timer and look for
pulses; if a fan pulse is detected, branch back to
the start of the loop (1); if none are received…
(9) Quit Normal Operation and go to Fan Fault.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The TC642 demonstration and prototyping board
(TC642DEMO), and the TC642 Evaluation Kit
(TC642EV), provide working examples of TC642 circuits and prototyping aids. The TC642DEMO is a
printed circuit board optimized for small size and ease
of inclusion into system prototypes. The TC642EV is a
larger board intended for benchtop development and
analysis. At the very least, anyone contemplating a
design using the TC642 should consult the documentation for both TC642EV (DS21403) and TC642DEMO
(DS21401).
Designing with the TC642 involves the following:
(1) The temp sensor network must be configured to
deliver 1.25V to 2.65V on VIN for 0% to 100% of the
temperature range to be regulated.
(2) The minimum fan speed (VMIN) must be set.
(3) The output drive transistor and associated circuitry
must be selected.
(4) The SENSE network, RSENSE and CSENSE, must
be designed for maximum efficiency, while
delivering adequate signal amplitude.
(5) If shutdown capability is desired, the drive requirements of the external signal or circuit must be
considered.

Typical Application Circuit.
Temperature Sensor Design
The temperature signal connected to VIN must output a
voltage in the range of 1.25V to 2.65V (typical) for 0%
to 100% of the temperature range of interest. The
circuit in Figure 5-2 illustrates a convenient way to
provide this signal.
Figure 5-2 shows a simple temperature dependent
voltage divider circuit. RT1 is a conventional NTC
thermistor while R1 and R2 are standard resistors. The
supply voltage, VDD, is divided between R2 and the parallel combination of RT1 and R1 (for convenience, the
parallel combination of RT1 and R1 will be referred to as
RTEMP). The resistance of the thermistor at various
temperatures is obtained from the manufacturer’s
specifications. Thermistors are often referred to in
terms of their resistance at 25°C.

VDD
A voltage divider on VMIN sets the minimum PWM duty
cycle and, thus, the minimum fan speed. As with the
VIN input, 1.25V to 2.65V typically corresponds to 0%
to 100% duty cycle. Assuming that fan speed is linearly
related to duty cycle, the minimum speed voltage is
given by the equation:

For example, if 2500 RPM equates to 100% fan speed,
and a minimum speed of 1000 RPM is desired, then
the VMIN voltage is:
EQUATION
Generally, the thermistor shown in Figure 5-2 is a nonlinear device with a negative temperature coefficient
(also called an NTC thermistor). In Figure 5-2, R1 is
used to linearize the thermistor temperature response,
while R2 is used to produce a positive temperature
coefficient at the VIN node. As an added benefit, this
configuration produces an output voltage delta of 1.4V,
which is well within the range of the VC(SPAN)
specification of the TC642. A 100 kNTC thermistor is
selected for this application in order to keep IDIV at a
minimum.
For the voltage range at VIN to be equal to 1.25V to
2.65V, the temperature range of this configuration is
0°C to 50°C. If a different temperature range is required
from this circuit, R1 should be chosen to equal the
resistance value of the thermistor at the center of this
new temperature range. With this change, R2 is
adjusted according to the formulas below. It is
suggested that a maximum temperature range of 50°C
be used with this circuit due to thermistor linearity
limitations.
VMIN =
1000
2500
x (1.4) + 1.25V = 1.81V
The VMIN voltage may be set using a simple resistor
divider, as shown in Figure 5-3. Per Section 1.0,
“Electrical Characteristics”, the leakage current at the
VMIN pin is no more than 1 µA. It would be very
conservative to design for a divider current, IDIV, of
100 µA. If VDD = 5.0V then;

The following two equations permit solving for the two

regarding thermistors can be found in AN679, “Temperature Sensing Technologies”, and AN685, “Thermistors

We can further specify R1 and R2 by the condition that
the divider voltage is equal to our desired VMIN. This
yields the following equation:

Solving for the relationship between R1 and R2 results
in the following equation:

In this example, R1 = (1.762) R2. Substituting this relationship back into the previous equation yields the

FanSense Network
(RSENSE and CSENSE)
The FanSense network, comprised of RSENSE and
CSENSE, allows the TC642 to detect commutation of
the fan motor (FanSense technology). This network
can be thought of as a differentiator and threshold
detector. The function of RSENSE is to convert the fan
current into a voltage. CSENSE serves to AC-couple this
voltage signal and provide a ground-referenced input to
the SENSE pin. Designing a proper SENSE network is
simply a matter of scaling RSENSE to provide the necessary amount of gain (i.e., the current-to-voltage conversion ratio). A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended for CSENSE. Smaller values require
larger sense resistors, and higher value capacitors are
bulkier and more expensive. Using a 0.1 µF capacitor
results in reasonable values for RSENSE. Figure 5-4

the waveforms observed using a typical SENSE network.
R2 = 18.1 k, and R1 = 31.9 k
VDD
In this case, the standard values of 31.6 k and
18.2 k are very close to the calculated values and
would be more than adequate.
5.3
Operations at Low Duty Cycle
Fan
One boundary condition which may impact the selection of the minimum fan speed is the irregular activation
of the Diagnostic Timer due to the TC642 “missing” fan
commutation pulses at low speeds. This is a natural
consequence of low PWM duty cycles (typically 25% or
less). Recall that the SENSE function detects commutation of the fan as disturbances in the current through
RSENSE. These can only occur when the fan is energized (i.e., VOUT is “on”). At very low duty cycles, the
VOUT output is “off” most of the time. The fan may be
rotating normally, but the commutation events are
occurring during the PWM’s off-time.
The phase relationship between the fan’s commutation
and the PWM edges tends to “walk around” as the
system operates. At certain points, the TC642 may fail
to capture a pulse within the 32-cycle missing pulse
detector window. When this happens, the 3-cycle
Diagnostic Timer will be activated, the VOUT output will
be active continuously for three cycles and, if the fan is
operating normally, a pulse will be detected. If all is
well, the system will return to normal operation. There
is no harm in this behavior, but it may be audible to the
user as the fan accelerates briefly when the Diagnostic
Timer fires. For this reason, it is recommended that
VMIN be set no lower than 1.8V.

Table 5-1 lists recommended values for RSENSE based
on the nominal operating current of the fan. Note that
the current draw specified by the fan manufacturer may
be a worst-case rating for near-stall conditions and may
not be the fan’s nominal operating current. The values
in Table 5-1 refer to actual average operating current. If
the fan current falls between two of the values listed,
use the higher resistor value. The end result of employing Table 5-1 is that the signal developed across the
sense resistor is approximately 450 mV in amplitude.

highest voltage applied to the fan (Note: This will occur
when the fan is off); (2) 5 mA of base drive current must
be enough to saturate the transistor when conducting
the full fan current (transistor must have sufficient
gain); (3) the VOUT voltage must be high enough to sufficiently drive the gate of the MOSFET to minimize the
RDS(on) of the device; (4) rated fan current draw must
be within the transistor's/MOSFET's current handling
capability; and (5) power dissipation must be kept
within the limits of the chosen device.
A base-current limiting resistor is required with bipolar
transistors (Figure 5-6).

Output Drive Transistor Selection
The TC642 is designed to drive an external transistor
or MOSFET for modulating power to the fan. This is
shown as Q1 in Figures 3-1, 5-1, 5-4, 5-6, 5-7, 5-8
and 5-9. The VOUT pin has a minimum source current
of 5 mA and a minimum sink current of 1 mA. Bipolar
transistors or MOSFETs may be used as the power
switching element, as shown in Figure 5-7. When high
current gain is needed to drive larger fans, two transistors may be used in a Darlington configuration. Three
possible circuit topologies are shown in Figure 5-7: (a)
shows a single NPN transistor used as the switching
element; (b) illustrates the Darlington pair; and (c)
shows an N-channel MOSFET.
One major advantage of the TC642’s PWM control
scheme versus linear speed control is that the power
dissipation in the pass element is kept very low. Generally, low cost devices in very small packages, such as
TO-92 or SOT, can be used effectively. For fans with
nominal operating currents of no more than 200 mA, a
single transistor usually suffices. Above 200 mA, the
Darlington or MOSFET solution is recommended. For
the fan sensing function to work correctly, it is imperative that the pass transistor be fully saturated when
“on”.
Table 5-2 gives examples of some commonly available
transistors and MOSFETs. This table should be used
as a guide only since there are many transistors and
MOSFETs which will work just as well as those listed.
The critical issues when choosing a device to use as

Some applications require the fan to be powered from
the negative 12V supply to keep motor noise out of the
positive voltage power supplies. As is shown in
Figure 5-8, zener diode D1 offsets the -12V power supply voltage, holding transistor Q1 off when VOUT is low.
VOUT
When VOUT is high, the voltage at the anode of D1
increases by VOUT, causing Q1 to turn on. Operation is
otherwise consistent with the case of fan operation
from +12V.

Latch-up Considerations
As with any CMOS IC, the potential exists for latch-up
if signals are applied to the device which are outside
the power supply range. This is of particular concern
during power-up if the external circuitry (such as the
sensor network, VMIN divider or shutdown circuit) is
powered by a supply different from that of the TC642.
Care should be taken to ensure that the TC642’s VDD
supply powers up first. If possible, the networks
attached to VIN and VMIN should connect to the VDD
supply at the same physical location as the IC itself.
Even if the IC and any external networks are powered
by the same supply, physical separation of the
connecting points can result in enough parasitic
capacitance and/or inductance in the power supply
connections to delay one power supply “routing” versus
another.

Power Supply Routing and
Bypassing
Design Example
Step 1. Calculate R1 and R2 based on using an NTC
having a resistance of 10 k at TMIN (25°C)
and 4.65 k at TMAX (45°C) (see Figure 5-9).
Noise present on the VIN and VMIN inputs may cause
erroneous operation of the FAULT output. As a result,
these inputs should be bypassed with a 0.01 F
capacitor mounted as close to the package as is possible. This is particularly true of VIN, which is usually
driven from a high impedance source (such as a thermistor). In addition, the VDD input should be bypassed
with a 1 µF capacitor. Grounds should be kept as short
as possible. To keep fan noise off the TC642 ground
pin, individual ground returns for the TC642 and the low
side of the fan current sense resistor should be used.
R1 = 20.5 k
R2 = 3.83 k
Step 2. Set minimum fan speed VMIN = 1.8V.
Limit the divider current to 100 µA from which
R5 = 33 k and R6 = 18 k
Step 3. Design the output circuit.
Maximum fan motor current = 250 mA.
Q1 beta is chosen at 50 from which
R7 = 800 .

TC642 as a Microcontroller
Peripheral
from the processor's outputs into a 1.6V DC control signal. A monolithic DAC or digital pot may be used
instead of the circuit shown in Figure 5-10.
In a system containing a microcontroller or other host
intelligence, the TC642 can be effectively managed as
a CPU peripheral. Routine fan control functions can be
performed by the TC642 without processor intervention.
The microcontroller receives temperature data from one
or more points throughout the system. It calculates a fan
operating speed based on an algorithm specifically
designed for the application at hand. The processor
controls fan speed using complementary port bits I/O1
through I/O3. Resistors R1 through R6 (5% tolerance)
form a crude 3-bit DAC that translates the 3-bit code
With VMIN set to 1.8V, the TC642 has a minimum
operating speed of approximately 40% of full rated
speed when the processor's output code is 000[B].
Output codes 001[B] to 111[B] operate the fan from
roughly 40% to 100% of full speed. An open-drain
output from the processor (I/O0) can be used to reset
the TC642 following detection of a fault condition. The
FAULT output can be connected to the processor's
interrupt input, or to an I/O pin, for polled operation.

NOTES:

 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
