The TC654 and TC655 are PWM mode fan speed controllers with FanSense technology for use with brushless DC fans. These devices implement temperature
proportional fan speed control which lowers acoustic
fan noise and increases fan life. The voltage at VIN
(Pin 1) represents temperature and is typically provided by an external thermistor or voltage output temperature sensor. The PWM output (VOUT) is adjusted
between 30% and 100%, based on the voltage at VIN.
The PWM duty cycle can also be programmed via
SMBus to allow fan speed control without the need for
an external thermistor. If VIN is not connected, the
TC654/TC655 will start driving the fan at a default duty
cycle of 39.33%. See Section 4.3 “Fan Start-up” for
more details.

In normal fan operation, pulse trains are present at
SENSE1 (Pin 8) and SENSE2 (Pin 7). The TC654/
TC655 use these pulses to calculate the fan revolutions per minute (RPM). The fan RPM data is used to
detect a worn out, stalled, open or unconnected fan.
An RPM level below the user-programmable threshold
causes the TC654/TC655 to assert a logic low alert
signal (FAULT). The default threshold value is
500 RPM. Also, if this condition occurs, F1F (bit 0<0>)
or F2F (bit 1<0>) in the Status Register will also be set
to a ‘1’.
An over-temperature condition is indicated when the
voltage at VIN exceeds 2.6V (typical). The TC654/
TC655 devices indicate this by setting OTF(bit 5<X>) in
the Status Register to a '1'. The TC655 device also
pulls the FAULT line low during an over-temperature
condition.
The TC654/TC655 devices are available in a 10-Pin
MSOP package and consume 150 µA during operation. The devices can also enter a low-power Shutdown
mode (5 µA, typ.) by setting the appropriate bit in the
Configuration Register. The operating temperature
range for these devices is -40°C to +85ºC.

DEVICE OPERATION
can be set to provide a predictive fan failure feature.
This feature can be used to give a system warning and,
in many cases, help to avoid a system thermal shutdown condition. The fan RPM data and threshold registers are available over the SMBus interface which
allows for complete system control.
The TC654 and TC655 devices allow you to control,
monitor and communicate (via SMBus) fan speed for 2wire and 3-wire DC brushless fans. By pulse-width
modulating (PWM) the voltage across the fan, the
TC654/TC655 controls fan speed according to the system temperature.The goal of temperature proportional
fan speed control is to reduce fan power consumption,
increase fan life and reduce system acoustic noise.
With the TC654 and TC655 devices, fan speed can be
controlled by the analog input VIN or the SMBus interface, allowing for high system flexibility.
The TC654/TC655 devices are identical in every
aspect except for how they indicate an over-temperature condition. When VIN voltage exceeds 2.6V (typical), both devices will set OTF (bit 5<X>) in the Status
Register to a '1'. The TC655 will additionally pull the
FAULT output low during an over-temperature condition.
The TC654 and TC655 also measure and monitor fan
revolutions per minute (RPM). A fan’s speed (RPM) is
a measure of its health. As a fan’s bearings wear out,
the fan slows down and eventually stops (locked rotor).
By monitoring the fan’s RPM level, the TC654/TC655
devices can detect open, shorted, unconnected and
locked rotor fan conditions. The fan speed threshold

Fan Speed Control Methods
T
The speed of a DC brushless fan is proportional to the
voltage across it. For example, if a fan’s rating is
5000 RPM at 12V, it’s speed would be 2500 RPM at 6V.
This, of course, will not be exact, but should be close.
There are two main methods for fan speed control. The
first is pulse width modulation (PWM) and the second
is linear. Using either method the total system power
requirement to run the fan is equal. The difference
between the two methods is where the power is
consumed.
The following example compares the two methods for
a 12V, 120 mA fan running at 50% speed. With 6V
applied across the fan, the fan draws an average current of 68 mA. Using a linear control method, there are
6V across the fan and 6V across the drive element.
With 6V and 68 mA, the drive element is dissipating
410 mW of power. Using the PWM approach, the fan is
modulated at a 50% duty cycle, with most of the 12V
being dropped across the fan. With 50% duty cycle, the
fan draws an RMS current of 110 mA and an average
current of 72 mA. Using a MOSFET with a 1  RDS(on)
(a fairly typical value for this low current) the power dissipation in the drive element would be: 12 mW (Irms2 *
RDS(on)). Using a standard 2N2222A NPN transistor
(assuming a Vce-sat of 0.8V), the power dissipation
would be 58 mW (Iavg* Vce-sat).
The PWM approach to fan speed control causes much
less power dissipation in the drive element. This allows
smaller devices to be used and will not require any special heatsinking to get rid of the power being dissipated
in the package.
The other advantage to the PWM approach is that the
voltage being applied to the fan is always near 12V.
This eliminates any concern about not supplying a high
enough voltage to run the internal fan components,
which is very relevant in linear fan speed control.
4.2
PWM Fan Speed Control
The TC654 and TC655 devices implement PWM fan
speed control by varying the duty cycle of a fixed frequency pulse train. The duty cycle of a waveform is the
on time divided by the total period of the pulse. For
example, given a 100 Hz waveform (10 msec.) with an
on time of 5.0 msec, the duty cycle of this waveform is
50% (5.0 msec/10.0 msec). An example of this is
illustrated in Figure 4-2.

The TC654 and TC655 generate a pulse train with a

can be varied from 30% to 100%. The pulse train generated by the TC654/TC655 devices drives the gate of

By modulating the voltage applied to the gate of the
MOSFET Qdrive, the voltage applied to the fan is also
modulated. When the VOUT pulse is high, the gate of
the MOSFET is turned on, pulling the voltage at the
drain of Qdrive to 0V. This places the full 12V across
the fan for the Ton period of the pulse. When the duty
cycle of the drive pulse is 100% (full on, Ton = T), the
fan will run at full speed. As the duty cycle is decreased
(pulse on time “Ton” is lowered), the fan will slow down
proportionally. With the TC654 and TC655 devices, the
duty cycle can be controlled through the analog input
pin (VIN) or through the SMBus interface by using the
Duty-Cycle Register. See Section 4.5 “Duty Cycle
Control (VIN and Duty-Cycle Register)” for more
details on duty cycle control.

Fan Start-up
Often overlooked in fan speed control is the actual
start-up control period. When starting a fan from a nonoperating condition (fan speed is zero RPM), the
desired PWM duty cycle or average fan voltage can not
be applied immediately. Since the fan is at a rest position, the fan’s inertia must be overcome to get it started.
The best way to accomplish this is to apply the full rated
voltage to the fan for one second. This will ensure that
in all operating environments, the fan will start and
operate properly.
The TC654 and TC655 devices implement this fan control feature without any user programming. During a
power-up or release from shutdown condition, the
TC654 and TC655 devices force the VOUT output to a
100% duty cycle, turning the fan full on for one second
(CF = 1 µF). Once the one second period is over, the
TC654/TC655 devices will look to see if SMBus or VIN
control has been selected in the Configuration Register
(DUTYC bit 5<0>). Based on this register, the device
will choose which input will control the VOUT duty cycle.
Duty cycle control based on VIN is the default state. If
VIN control is selected and the VIN pin is open (nothing
is connected to the VIN pin), then the TC654/TC655 will
default to a duty cycle of 39.33%. This sequence is
shown in Figure 4-4. This integrated one second startup feature will ensure the fan starts-up every time.
quency is linear. If a frequency of 15 Hz is desired, a
capacitor value of 2.0 µF should be used. The frequency should be kept in the range of 15 Hz to 35 Hz.
See Section 7.2 “Setting the PWM Frequency” for
more details.
4.5
Duty Cycle Control (VIN and DutyCycle Register)
The duty cycle of the VOUT PWM drive signal can be
controlled by either the VIN analog input pin or by the
Duty-Cycle Register, which is accessible via the
SMBus interface. The control method is selectable via
DUTYC (bit 5<0>) of the Configuration Register. The
default state is for VIN control. If VIN control is selected
and the VIN pin is open, the PWM duty cycle will default
to 39.33%. The duty cycle control method can be
changed at any time via the SMBus interface.
VIN is an analog input pin. A voltage in the range of
1.62V to 2.6V (typical) at this pin commands a 30% to
100% duty cycle on the VOUT output, respectively. If the
voltage at VIN falls below the 1.62V level, the duty cycle
will not go below 30%. The relationship between the
voltage at VIN and the PWM duty cycle is shown in
Figure 4-5.

PWM Drive Frequency (CF)
As previously discussed, the TC654 and TC655
devices operate with a fixed PWM frequency. The frequency of the PWM drive output (VOUT) is set by a
capacitor at the CF pin. With a 1 µF capacitor at the CF
pin, the typical drive frequency is 30 Hz. This frequency
can be raised, by decreasing the capacitor value, or
lowered, by increasing the capacitor value. The relationship between the capacitor value and the PWM fre-

PWM Duty Cycle vs. VIN
For the TC655 device, if the voltage at VIN exceeds the
2.6V (typical) level, an over-temperature fault indication will be given by asserting a low at the FAULT output
and setting OTF (bit 5<X>) in the Status Register to a
‘1’.
A thermistor network or any other voltage output thermal sensor can be used to provide the voltage to the
VIN input. The voltage supplied to the VIN pin can actually be thought of as a temperature. For example, the
circuit shown in Figure 4-6 represents a typical solution
for a thermistor based temperature sensing network.
See Section 7.3 “Temperature Sensor Design” for
more details.
DS20001734C-page 11
TC654/TC655
This method of control allows for more sophisticated
algorithms to be implemented by utilizing microcontrollers or microprocessors in the system. In this way, multiple system temperatures can be taken into account for
determining the necessary fan speed.

The second method for controlling the duty cycle of the
PWM output (VOUT) is via the SMBus interface. In order
to control the PWM duty cycle via the SMBus, DUTYC
(bit 5<0>) of the Configuration Register (Register 6.3)
must be set to a ‘1’. This tells the TC654/TC655 device
that the duty cycle should be controlled by the Duty
Cycle Register. Next, the Duty Cycle Register must be
programmed to the desired value. The Duty Cycle Register is a 4 Bit read/write register that allows duty cycles
from 30% to 100% to be programmed. Table 4-1 shows
the binary codes for each possible duty cycle.

Duty-Cycle
As shown in Table 4-1, the duty cycle has more of a
step function look than did the VIN control approach.
Because the step changes in duty cycle are small, they
are rarely audibly noticeable, especially when the fans
are integrated into the system.
4.6
PWM Output (VOUT)
The VOUT pin is designed to drive two low-cost NPN
transistors or N-channel MOSFETs as the low side
power switching elements in the system as is shown in
Figure 4-7. These switching elements are used to turn
the fans on and off at the PWM duty cycle commanded
by the VOUT output.
This output has complementary drive (pull up and pull
down) and is optimized for driving NPN transistors or
N-channel MOSFETs (see Section 2.0 “Typical Performance CURVES” for sink and source current capability of the VOUT drive stage).
The external device needs to be chosen to fit the voltage and current rating of the fan in a particular application (Refer to Section 7.5 “Output Drive Device
Selection” Output Drive Device Selection). NPN transistors are often a good choice for low-current fans. If a
NPN transistor is chosen, a base current-limiting resistor should be used. When using a MOSFET as the
switching element, it is sometimes a good idea to have
a gate resistor to help slow down the turn on and turn
off of the MOSFET. As with any switching waveform,
fast rising and falling edges can sometimes lead to
noise problems.
As previously stated, the VOUT output will go to 100%
duty cycle during power-up and release from shutdown
conditions. The VOUT output only shuts down when
commanded to do so via the Configuration Register
(SDM (bit 0<0>)). Even when a locked rotor condition
is detected, the VOUT output will continue to pulse at
the programmed duty cycle.
4.7
Sensing Fan Operation (SENSE1 &
SENSE2)
The TC654 and TC655 also feature Microchip's proprietary FanSense technology. During normal fan operation, commutation occurs as each pole of the fan is
energized. The fan current pulses created by the fan
commutation are sensed using low value current sense
resistors in the ground return leg of the fan circuit. The
voltage pulses across the sense resistor are then AC
coupled through capacitors to the SENSE pins of the
TC654/TC655 device. These pulses are utilized for calculating the RPM of the individual fans. The threshold
voltage for the SENSE pins is 100 mV (typical). The

peak of the voltage pulse at the SENSE pins must
exceed the 100 mV (typical) threshold in order for the
pulse to be counted in the fan RPM measurement.
See Section 7.4 “FanSense Network (RSENSE &
CSENSE)” for more details on selecting the appropriate
current sense resistor and coupling capacitor values.

Fan Current Sensing.
By selecting F1PPR (bits 2-1<01>) and F2PPR (bits 43<01>) in the Configuration Register, the TC654 and
TC655 can be programmed to calculate RPM data for
fans with 1, 2, 4 or 8 current pulses per rotation. The
default state assumes a fan with 2 pulses per rotation.
The measured RPM data is then stored in the RPMOUTPUT1 (RPM1, for SENSE1 input) and RPM-OUTPUT2 (RPM2, for SENSE2 input) Registers. These
registers are 9-Bit Read-Only registers which store
RPM data with 25 RPM resolution. By setting RES (bit
6<0>) of the Configuration Register to a ‘1’, the RPM
data can be read with 25 RPM resolution. If this Bit is
left in the default state of '0', the RPM data will only be
readable with resolution of 50 RPMs, which represents
8-Bit data.
The maximum fan RPM reading is 12775 RPM. If this
value is exceeded, counter overflow bits in the Status
Register are set. R1CO (bit 3<0>) and R2CO (bit 4<0>)
in the Status Register represent the RPM1 and RPM2
counter overflow bits for the RPM1 and RPM2 registers, respectively. These bits will automatically be reset
to zero if the fan RPM reading has been below the maximum value of 12775 RPM for 2.4 seconds.
4.8
Fan Fault Threshold and
Indication (FAULT)
For the TC654 and TC655 devices, a fault condition
exists whenever a fan’s sensed RPM level falls below
the user programmable threshold. The RPM threshold
values for fan fault detection are set in the FAN_FAULT1 and FAN_FAULT2 Registers (8-bit, read/
write).
The RPM threshold represents the fan speed at which
the TC654/TC655 devices will indicate a fan fault. This
threshold can be set at lower levels to indicate fan
locked rotor conditions or set to higher levels to give
indications for predictive fan failure. It is recommended
that the RPM threshold be at least 10% lower than the
minimum fan speed which occurs at the lowest duty
cycle set point. The default value for the fan RPM
thresholds is 500 RPM. If the fan's sensed RPM is less
than the fan fault threshold for 2.4 seconds (typical), a
fan fault condition is indicated.
When a fault condition due to low fan RPM occurs, a
logic low is asserted at the FAULT output. F1F (bit
0<0>) and F2F (bit 1<0>) in the Status Register are set
to ‘1’ for respective low RPM levels on the SENSE1
and SENSE2 inputs. The FAULT output and the fault
bits in the Status Register can be reset by setting
FFCLR (bit 7<0>) in the Configuration Register to a ‘1’.
For the TC655 device, a fault condition is also indicated
when an Over-Temperature Fault condition occurs.
This condition occurs when the VOUT duty cycle
exceeds the 100% value indicating that no additional
cooling capability is available. For this condition, a logic
low is asserted at the FAULT output and OTF (bit 5<X>)
of the Status Register, the over-temperature fault indicator, is set to a ‘1’ (The TC654 also indicates an overtemperature condition via the OTF bit in the status register). If the duty cycle then decreases below 100%, the
FAULT output will be released and OTF (bit 5<X>) of
the Status Register will be reset to ‘0’.
4.9
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Some applications may have operating conditions
where fan cooling is not required as a result of low
ambient temperature or light system load. During these
times it may be desirable to shut the fans down to save
power and reduce system noise.
The TC654/TC655 devices can be put into a low-power
Shutdown mode by setting SDM (bit 0<0>) in the Configuration register to a ‘1’ (this bit is the shutdown bit).
When the TC654/TC655 devices are in Shutdown
mode, all functions except for the SMBus interface are
suspended. During this mode of operation, the TC654
and TC655 devices will draw a typical supply current of
only 5 µA. Normal operation will resume as soon as Bit
0 in the Configuration Register is reset to ‘0’.
See Table 6-1 for RPM1, RPM2 and Status Register
command byte assignments.
 2002-2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS20001734C-page 13
TC654/TC655
When the TC654/TC655 devices are brought out of a
Shutdown mode by resetting SDM (bit 0<0>) in the
Configuration Register, all of the registers (except for
the Configuration and FAN_FAULT1 and 2 registers)
assume their default power-up states. The Configuration Register and the FAN_FAULT1 and 2 Registers
maintain the states they were in prior to the device
being put into the Shutdown mode. Since these are the
registers which control the parts operation, the part
does not have to be reprogrammed for operation when
it comes out of Shutdown mode.
4.10
SMBus Interface (SCLK & SDA)
The TC654/TC655 feature an industry-standard, 2-wire
serial interface with factory-set addresses. By communicating with the TC654/TC655 device registers, functions like PWM duty cycle, low-power Shutdown mode
and fan RPM threshold can be controlled. Critical information, such as fan fault, over-temperature and fan
RPM, can also be obtained via the device data registers. The available data and control registers make the
TC654/TC655 devices very flexible and easy to use. All
of the available registers are detailed in Section 6.0
“Register Set”.
4.11
SMBus Slave Address
The slave address of the TC654/TC655 is 0011 011
and is fixed. This address is different from industrystandard digital temperature sensors (like TCN75) and,
therefore, allows the TC654/TC655 to be utilized in
systems in conjunction with these components. Please

addresses are required.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION
5.1
SMBus 2-Wire Interface
The Serial Clock Input (SCLK) and the bi-directional
data port (SDA) form a 2-wire bi-directional serial port
for communicating with the TC654/TC655. The following bus protocols have been defined:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following Serial Bus conventions have
been defined.

of each byte with this unique condition. The Receiver pulls SDA low
during SCLK high of the ACK clockpulse. The Master provides the clock
pulse for the ACK cycle.
are initiated by a Start condition (Start), followed by a
device address byte and one or more data bytes. The
device address byte includes a Read/Write selection
bit. Each access must be terminated by a Stop Condition (Stop). A convention call Acknowledge (ACK) confirms the receipt of each byte. Note that SDA can only
change during periods when SCLK is low (SDA
changes while SCLK is high are reserved for Start and
Stop conditions). All bytes are transferred MSB (most
significant bit) first.
5.1.2
MASTER/SLAVE
The device that sends data onto the bus is the transmitter and the device receiving data is the receiver. The
bus is controlled by a master device which generates
the serial clock (SCLK), controls the bus access and
generates the Start and Stop conditions. The TC654/
TC655 always work as a slave device. Both master and
slave devices can operate as either transmitter or
receiver, but the master device determines which mode
is activated.
5.1.3
START CONDITION (START)
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCLK) is high determines a Start condition. All commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
5.1.4
ADDRESS BYTE
Immediately following the Start Condition, the host
must transmit the address byte to the TC654/TC655.
The 7-bit SMBus address for the TC654/TC655 is
0011 011. The 7-bit address transmitted in the serial
bit stream must match for the TC654/TC655 to respond
with an Acknowledge (indicating the TC654/TC655 is
on the bus and ready to accept data). The eighth bit in
the Address Byte is a Read-Write Bit. This bit is a ‘1’ for
a read operation or ‘0’ for a write operation. During the
first phase of any transfer, this bit will be set = 0 to indicate that the command byte is being written.
5.1.5
STOP CONDITION (STOP)
Busy
Communication is not possible
because the bus is in use.
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCLK) is high determines a Stop condition. All operations must be ended with a Stop condition.
NOT Busy
When the bus is idle, both SDA and
SCLK will remain high.
5.1.6
Data Valid
The state of SDA must remain stable
during the high period of SCLK in
order for a data bit to be considered
valid. SDA only changes state while
SCLK is low during normal data transfers. (See Start and Stop conditions)
5.1.1
DATA TRANSFER
The TC654/TC655 support a bi-directional 2-Wire bus
and data transmission protocol. The serial protocol
sequencing is illustrated in Figure 1-1. Data transfers
 2002-2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
DATA VALID
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data. Each data transfer is initiated with a Start
condition and terminated with a Stop condition. The
number of the data bytes transferred between the Start
and Stop conditions is determined by the master device
and is unlimited.

ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK)
last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this
case, the slave (TC654/TC655) will leave the data line
high to enable the master device to generate the Stop
condition.
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an acknowledge bit after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra
clock pulse, which is associated with this acknowledge
bit.
5.2
The TC654/TC655 devices communicate with three
standard SMBus protocols. These are the write byte,
read byte and receive byte. The receive byte is a shortened method for reading from, or writing to, a register
which had been selected by the previous read or write
command. These transmission protocols are shown in
Figures 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable low during the high
period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a master device must signal an end of data to
the slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the

at the SENSE1 and SENSE2 inputs of the TC654/

the RPM information in 50 RPM (8-bit) or 25 RPM (9bit) increments. This is selected via RES (bit 6<0>) in
the Configuration Register, with ‘0’ = 50 RPM and
‘1’ = 25 RPM. The default state is zero (50 RPM). The
maximum fan RPM value that can be read is
12775 RPM. If this value is exceeded, R2CO (bit 4<0>)
and R1CO (bit 3<0>) in the Status Register will be set to
a '1' to indicate that a counter overflow of the respective
RPM register has occurred. Register 6-1 shows the

FIGURE 7-1:
SMBus.
Pull-up Resistors On
The number of devices connected to the bus is limited
only by the maximum rise and fall times of the SDA
and SCLK lines. Unlike I2C specifications, SMBus
does not specify a maximum bus capacitance value.
Rather, the SMBus specification calls out that the maximum current through the pull-up resistor be 350 µA
(minimum, 100 µA, is also specified). Therefore, the
value of the pull-up resistors will vary depending on the
system’s bias voltage, VDD. Minimizing bus capacitance is still very important as it directly affects the rise
and fall times of the SDA and SCLK lines. The range
for pull-up resistor values for a 5V system are shown
in Figure 7-1.
Although SMBus specifications only require the SDA
and SCLK lines to pull down 350 µA, with a maximum
voltage drop of 0.4V, the TC654/TC655 has been
designed to meet a maximum voltage drop of 0.4V, with
3 mA of current. This allows lower values of pull-up
resistors to be used, which will allow higher bus capacitance. If this is to be done, though, all devices on the
bus must be able to meet the same pull-down current
requirements as well.
A possible configuration using multiple devices on the
SMBus is shown in Figure 7-2.
Multiple Devices on SMBus.
Setting the PWM Frequency
The PWM frequency of the VOUT output is set by the
capacitor value attached to the CF pin. The PWM frequency will be 30 Hz (typical) for a 1 µF capacitor. The
relationship between frequency and capacitor value is
linear, making alternate frequency selections easy.
As stated in previous sections, the PWM frequency
should be kept in the range of 15 Hz to 35 Hz. This will
eliminate the possibility of having audible frequencies
when varying the duty cycle of the fan drive.
A very important factor to consider when selecting the
PWM frequency for the TC654/TC655 devices is the
RPM rating of the selected fan and the minimum duty
cycle for operation. For fans that have a full-speed rating of 3000 RPM or less, it is desirable to use a lower
PWM frequency. A lower PWM frequency allows for a
longer time period to monitor the fan current pulses.
The goal is to be able to monitor at least two fan current
pulses during the on time of the VOUT output.
Example: Your system design requirement is to operate the fan at 50% duty cycle when ambient temperatures are below 20°C. The fan full-speed RPM rating is
3000 RPM and has four current pulses per rotation. At
50% duty cycle, the fan will be operating at approximately 1500 RPM.
EQUATION
60  1000
Time for one revolution (msec.) = ------------------------ = 40
1500
If one fan revolution occurs in 40 msec, then each fan
pulse occurs 10 msec apart. In order to detect two fan
current pulses, the on time of the VOUT pulse must be
at least 20 msec. With the duty cycle at 50%, the total
period of one cycle must be at least 40 msec, which
makes the PWM frequency 25 Hz. For this example, a
PWM frequency of 20 Hz is recommended. This would
define a CF capacitor value of 1.5 µF.

7.3
Temperature Sensor Design
As discussed in previous sections, the VIN analog input
has a range of 1.62V to 2.6V (typical), which represents
a duty cycle range on the VOUT output of 30% to 100%,
respectively. The VIN voltages can be thought of as representing temperatures. The 1.62V level is the low temperature at which the system only requires 30% fan
speed for proper cooling. The 2.6V level is the high
temperature, for which the system needs maximum
cooling capability. Therefore, the fan needs to be at
100% speed.
One of the simplest ways of sensing temperature over
a given range is to use a thermistor. By using an NTC
thermistor as shown in Figure 7-3, a temperature variant voltage can be created.
EQUATION
V DD  R 2
V  t1  = ---------------------------------------RTEMP  t1  + R 2
V DD  R 2
V  t2  = ---------------------------------------RTEMP  t2  + R 2
In order to solve for the values of R1 and R2, the values
for VIN and the temperatures at which they are to occur
need to be selected. The variables, t1 and t2, represent
the selected temperatures. The value of the thermistor
at these two temperatures can be found in the thermistor data sheet. With the values for the thermistor and
the values for VIN, you now have two equations from
which the values for R1 and R2 can be found.
Example: The following design goals are desired:
VDD
• Duty Cycle = 50% (VIN = 1.9V) with Temperature
(t1) = 30°C
• Duty Cycle = 100% (VIN = 2.6V) with Temperature
(t2) = 60°C
IDIV
Using a 100 k thermistor (25°C value), we look up the
thermistor values at the desired temperatures:
There are many values that can be chosen for the NTC
thermistor. There are also thermistors which have a linear resistance instead of logarithmic, which can help to
eliminate R1. If less current draw from VDD is desired,
then a larger value thermistor should be chosen. The
voltage at the VIN pin can also be generated by a voltage output temperature sensor device. The key is to
get the desired VIN voltage to system (or component)
temperature relationship.
The following equations apply to the circuit in
Figure 7-3.

Figure 7-3 represents a temperature dependent voltage divider circuit. Rt is a conventional NTC thermistor,
R1 and R2 are standard resistors. R1 and Rt form a parallel resistor combination that will be referred to as
RTEMP (RTEMP = R1 * Rt/ R1 + Rt). As the temperature
increases, the value of Rt decreases and the value of
RTEMP will decrease with it. Accordingly, the voltage at
VIN increases as temperature increases, giving the
desired relationship for the VIN input. The purpose of
R1 is to help linearize the response of the sensing network. Figure 7-4 shows an example of this.

more linear, which is the desired effect. This gives us
the linear looking curve for VIN.

FanSense Network (RSENSE &
CSENSE)
The network comprised of RSENSE and CSENSE allows
the TC654/TC655 devices to detect commutation of the
fan motor. RSENSE converts the fan current into a voltage. CSENSE AC couples this voltage signal to the
SENSE pins (SENSE1 and SENSE2). The goal of the
SENSE network is to provide a voltage pulse to the
SENSE pin that has a minimum amplitude of 120 mV.
This will ensure that the current pulse caused by the
fan commutation is recognized by the TC654/TC655
device.
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for
CSENSE. Smaller values will require larger sense resistors be used. Using a 0.1 µF capacitor results in reasonable values for RSENSE. Figure 7-5 illustrates a
typical SENSE network.

The value of RSENSE will change with the current rating
of the fan. A key point is that the current rating of the
fan specified by the manufacturer may be a worst case
rating. The actual current drawn by the fan may be
lower than this rating. For the purposes of setting the
value for RSENSE, the operating fan current should be
measured.
Table 7-1 shows values of RSENSE according to the
nominal operating current of the fan. The fan currents
are average values. If the fan current falls between two
of the values listed, use the higher resistor value.
7.5
Output Drive Device Selection
The TC654/TC655 is designed to drive two external
NPN transistors or two external N-channel MOSFETs
as the fan speed modulating elements. These two
arrangements are shown in Figure 7-7. For lower current fans, NPN transistors are a very economical
choice for the fan drive device. It is recommended that,
for higher-current fans (500 mA and above), MOSFETs
be used as the fan drive device. Table 7-2 provides
some possible part numbers for use as the fan drive
element.
When using an NPN transistor as the fan drive element, a base current limiting resistor must be used.
This is shown in Figure 7-7.
When using MOSFETs as the fan drive element, it is
very easy to turn the MOSFETs on and off at very high
rates. Because the gate capacitances of these small
DS20001734C-page 24
 2002-2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
TC654/TC655
MOSFETs are very low, the TC654/TC655 can charge
and discharge them very quickly, leading to very fast
edges. Of key concern is the turn-off edge of the MOSFET. Since the fan motor winding is essentially an
inductor, once the MOSFET is turned off, the current
that was flowing through the motor wants to continue to
flow. If the fan does not have internal clamp diodes
around the windings of the motor, there is no path for
this current to flow through, and the voltage at the drain
of the MOSFET may rise until the drain to source rating
of the MOSFET is exceeded. This will most likely cause
the MOSFET to go into Avalanche mode. Since there
is very little energy in this occurrence, it will probably
not fail the device, but it would be a long term reliability
issue. The following is recommended:
• Ask how the fan is designed. If the fan has clamp
diodes internally, you will not experience this
problem. If the fan does not have internal clamp
diodes, it is a good idea to put one externally
(Figure 7-8). You can also put a resistor between
VOUT and the gate of the MOSFET, which will help
slow down the turn-off and limit this condition.

The fan current can now be monitored over this time
period. The number of pulses occurring in this time
period is the fan's "Current Pulses per Rotation" rating
which is needed in order to accurately read fan RPM.
Example: The full-speed fan RPM rating is 8200 RPM.
From this, the time for one fan revolution is calculated
to be 7.3 msec, using the previously discussed equation. Using a current probe, the fan current can be monitored as the fan is operating at full speed. Figure 7-9
shows the fan current pulses for this example. The
7.44 msec window, marked by the cursors, is very near
the 7.3 msec calculated above, and is within the tolerance of the fan ratings. Four current pulses occur within
this 7.44 msec time frame. Given this information,
F2PPR (bits 4-3<01>) and F1PPR (bits 2-1<01>) in the
Configuration Register, should be set to '10' to indicate
4 current pulses per revolution.
The bias supply (VDD) for the TC654/TC655 devices
should be bypassed with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor. This
capacitor will help supply the peak currents that are
required to drive the base/gate of the external fan drive
devices.
As the VIN pin controls the duty cycle in a linear fashion,
any noise on this pin can cause duty cycle jittering. For
this reason, the VIN pin should be bypassed with a
0.01 µF capacitor.
In order to keep fan noise off of the TC654/TC655
device ground, individual ground returns for the TC654/
TC655 and the low side of the fan current sense resistor should be used.

Determining Current Pulses Per
Revolution of Fans
There are many different fan designs available in the
marketplace today. The motor designs can vary and,
along with it, the number of current pulses in one fan
revolution. In order to correctly measure and communicate the fan speed, the TC654/TC655 must be programmed for the proper number of fan current pulses
per revolution. This is done by setting the F2PPR and
F1PPR bits in the Configuration Register to the proper
values (see Section 6.3 “Configuration Register
(Config)” for settings). A fan's current pulses per revolution can be determined in the following manner.

Four Current Pulses Per
How to Eliminate False Current
Pulse Sensing
During the PWM mode of operation, some fans will
generate an extra current pulse. This pulse occurs
when the external drive device is turned on and is, in
most cases, caused by the fan's electronics that control
the fan motor. This pulse does not represent true fan
current and needs to be blanked out. This is particularly
important for detecting a fan in a locked rotor condition.
Figure 7-10 shows the voltage pulse at the Sense pin,

which is caused by the fan's "extra" current pulse
during PWM output turn-on.

Extra Pulse at Sense Pin.
This problem occurs mainly with fans that have a current waveshape like the one shown in Figure 7-9. For
configurations where an NPN transistor is being used
as the external drive device, the typical RSENSE and
CSENSE scheme can continue to be used to sense the
fan current pulses. In order to eliminate the extra current pulse, a slow-down capacitor can be placed from
the base of the transistor to ground. A 0.1 µF capacitor
is appropriate in most cases. This arrangement is
shown in Figure 7-11. This capacitor will help to slow
down the turn-on edge of the transistor and reduce the
amplitude of the extra current pulse.
For configurations using an N-channel MOSFET as the
drive device, the slow-down capacitor does not fix all
conditions and the current sensing scheme must be
changed. Since the current for this type of fan always
returns to zero, the coupling capacitor (CSENSE) is not
needed. Instead, it will be replaced by an R-C configuration to eliminate the voltage pulse generated by the
extra current pulse. This new sensing configuration is
shown in Figure 7-12. The values of the resistor/capacitor combination should be adjusted so that the voltage
pulse generated by the extra current pulse is smoothed
and is not registered by the TC654/TC655 as a true fan
current pulse. Typical values for RSLOW and CSLOW are
1 K and 1000 pF, respectively.
