Fan Management Solutions Product Overview

Fan Management Solutions
Microchip Technology offers design engineers a broad portfolio of products for Fan Speed Control (FSC) and
Fan Fault Detection Solutions. The dedicated fan controller products are ideal for analog engineers since there
is no firmware development required resulting in faster time to market. Some of these devices also feature
onboard temperature sensor options in small space saving packages such as MSOP and SOT-23. For additional
specialized requirements, flexibility and individual control over multiple fans, Microchip’s range of small PIC®
microcontrollers enables designers to customize designs to meet their requirements.
