Temperature proportional speed control is accomplished using pulse width modulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output temperature sensor) connected to VIN 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 startup 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 TC647 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 TC647 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. The TC647 is available in the 8-pin plastic DIP, SOIC and MSOP packages and is available in the industrial and extended commercial temperature ranges. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.

TABLE 2-1: Pin No. PIN FUNCTION TABLE Symbol Description 1 VIN Analog Input 2 CF Analog Output 2.3 Analog Input (VMIN) An external resistor divider connected to the V MIN input sets the minimum fan speed by fixing the minimum PWM duty cycle (1.25V to 2.65V = 0% to 100%, typical). The TC647 enters shutdown mode when VMIN ≤ VSHDN. During shutdown, the FAULT output is inactive and supply current falls to 25 µA (typical). The TC647 exits shutdown mode when VMIN ≥ VREL. See Section 5.0, “Typical Applications”, for more details. 3 VMIN Analog Input 4 GND Ground Terminal 2.4 5 SENSE Analog Input GND denotes the ground terminal. 6 FAULT Digital (Open Collector) Output 7 VOUT Digital Output 2.5 8 VDD Power Supply Input Pulses are detected at the SENSE pin as fan rotation chops the current through a sense resistor. The absence of pulses indicates a fault. 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. 2.6 Ground (GND) Analog Input (SENSE) Digital Output (FAULT) 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. 2.7 Digital Output (VOUT) VOUT is an active high complimentary output that drives the base of an external NPN transistor (via an appropriate base resistor) or the gate of an N-channel MOSFET. This output has asymmetrical drive (see Section 1.0, “Electrical Characteristics”). 2.8 Power Supply Input (VDD) VDD may be independent of the fan’s power supply (see Section 1.0, “Electrical Characteristics”). DS21447C-page 4 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. TC647 3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 3.1 PWM 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 3.3, “Start-Up Timer”). The PWM voltage control range is 1.25V to 2.65V (typical) for 0% to 100% output duty cycle. 3.2 VOUT Output The V OUT 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 an asymmetric complimentary 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. 3.3 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 3.6, “FAULT Output”). 3.4 Shutdown Control (Optional) If VMIN (Pin 3) is pulled below VSHDN, the TC647 will go into shutdown mode. This can be accomplished by driving VMIN with an open-drain logic signal or using an external transistor, as shown in Figure 3-1. All functions are suspended until the voltage on V MIN becomes higher than V REL (0.85V @ V DD = 5.0V). Pulling V MIN 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/ VREL threshold. 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. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. 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. 3.5 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 R SENSE 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. 3.6 FAULT Output Pulses appearing at SENSE due to the PWM turning on are blanked with the remaining pulses being 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 3.3, “StartUp Timer”). 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. Note: 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 TC647 may be configured to continuously attempt fan restarts, if so desired. DS21447C-page 5 TC647 Continuous restart mode is enabled by connecting the FAULT output to VMIN through a 0.1 µF capacitor, as shown in Figure 3-1. When so connected, the TC647 automatically attempts to restart the fan whenever 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 TC647 down if multiple fault pulses are detected at approximately one second intervals. +5V 10 kΩ C1 +5V 0.01µF +12V 1 kΩ TC647 CB 1µF From Temp Sensor RESET 8 1 VIN Fan VDD FAULT 6 1 0 Q1 Fault Detected +5V TC647 R3 VOUT RBASE 7 3 V MIN CB From System Shutdown Controller R1 Q2 (Optional) 0.01 µF 2 R4 CF 1 µF SENSE 5 CSENSE CF GND 4 RSENSE Note: The parallel combination of R3 and R4 must be >10 kΩ.

They can be summarized as follows: 4.1 Power-Up (1) Assuming the device is not being held in shutdown mode (VMIN > V REL)… (2) Turn VOUT output on for 32 cycles of the PWM clock. This ensures that the fan will start from a dead stop. 4.3 Fan Fault Fan Fault is an infinite loop wherein the TC647 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 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 TC647 in shutdown? If so… a. V OUT duty cycle goes to zero. b. FAULT is disabled. c. Exit the loop and wait for VMIN > VREL to resume operation (indistinguishable from Power-up). (3) Drive VOUT to a duty cycle proportional to greater of V IN and VMIN on a cycle by cycle basis. (4) If a fan pulse is detected, branch back to the start of the loop (1). (5) If the missing pulse detector times out … (6) 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… (7) 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… (8) Quit Normal Operation and go to Fan Fault.

TC647 5.0 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS The TC642 demonstration and prototyping board (TC642DEMO) and the TC642 Evaluation Kit (TC642EV) provide working examples of TC647 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 TC647 should consult the documentation for both TC642EV and (DS21403) and TC642DEMO (DS21401). Figure 5-1 shows the base schematic for the TC642DEMO. Designing with the TC647 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 (V MIN) 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. +5V* +12V CB 1 µF NTC R1 8 1 VIN Fan VDD CB 0.01 µF R2 6 FAULT Fan Fault Shutdown Q1 RBASE TC647 VOUT R3 3 CB 0.01 µF Shutdown R4 (Optional) 7 VMIN 5 SENSE 2 CSENSE CF CF 1 µF GND RSENSE 4 Note: *See cautions regarding latch-up considerations in Section 5.0, "Typical Applications". FIGURE 5-1: Typical Application Circuit. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21447C-page 9 TC647 5.1 Temperature Sensor Design EQUATION VDD x R2 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. VDD R1 = 100 kΩ VIN R2 = 23.2 kΩ FIGURE 5-2: Circuit. Temperature Sensing Figure 5-2 illustrates a simple temperature dependent voltage divider circuit. RT1 is a conventional 100 kΩ @ 25°C NTC thermistor, while R1 and R 2 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. Generally, the thermistor shown in Figure 5-2 is a non-linear device with a negative temperature coefficient (also called an NTC thermistor). In Figure 5-2, R1 is used to linearize the thermistor temperature response and 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 V C(SPAN) specification of the TC647. A 100 kΩ 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, R 1 should be chosen to equal the resistance value of the thermistor at the center of this new temperature range. It is suggested that a maximum temperature range of 50°C be used with this circuit due to thermistor linearity limitations. With this change, R2 is adjusted according to the following equations: DS21447C-page 10 VDD x R2 RTEMP (T2) + R2 = V(T2) Where T1 and T2 are the chosen temperatures and RTEMP is the parallel combination of the thermistor and R1. IDIV RT1 NTC Thermistor 100 kΩ @ 25ºC = V(T1) RTEMP (T1) + R2 These two equations facilitate solving for the two unknown variables, R1 and R2. More information about Thermistors may be obtained from AN679, “Temperature Sensing Technologies”, and AN685, “Thermistors in Single Supply Temperature Sensing Circuits”, which can be downloaded from Microchip’s website at www.microchip.com. 5.2 Minimum Fan Speed 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 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: EQUATION VMIN = Minimum Speed x (1.4V) + 1.25V Full Speed 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 VMIN = 1000 2500 x (1.4V) + 1.25V = 1.81V The V MIN 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; EQUATION IDIV = 1e–4A = R1 + R2 = 5.0V R1 + R2 5.0V 1e–4A , therefore = 50,000 Ω = 50 kΩ 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. TC647 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. VDD R1 IDIV IIN VMIN R2 GND VMIN Circuit. FIGURE 5-3: We can further specify R1 and R 2 by the condition that the divider voltage is equal to our desired VMIN. This yields the following equation: EQUATION VMIN = VDD x R2 R1 + R2 Solving for the relationship between R1 and R 2 results in the following equation: EQUATION R1 = R2 x VDD - VMIN VMIN In this example, R1 = (1.762) R2. Substituting this relationship back into the previous equation yields the resistor values: The phase relationship between the fan’s commutation and the PWM edges tends to “walk around” as the system operates. At certain points, the TC647 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 will accelerate briefly when the Diagnostic Timer fires. For this reason, it is recommended that VMIN be set no lower than 1.8V. 5.4 FanSense™ Network (RSENSE and CSENSE) The FanSense network, comprised of RSENSE and CSENSE, allows the TC647 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 results in reasonable values for RSENSE. Figure 5-4 illustrates a typical SENSE network. Figure 5-5 shows the waveforms observed using a typical SENSE network. VDD R2 = 18.1 kΩ R1 = 31.9 kΩ In this case, the standard values of 31.6 kΩ and 18.2 kΩ are very close to the calculated values and would be more than adequate. 5.3 FAN Operations at Low Duty Cycle One boundary condition which may impact the selection of the minimum fan speed is the irregular activation of the Diagnostic Timer due to the TC647 “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 RBASE VOUT SENSE CSENSE (0.1 µF Typ.) RSENSE GND FIGURE 5-4: 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.

Table 5-1 lists the recommended values of 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 not 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. R SENSE VS.

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. These 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 Nchannel MOSFET. One major advantage of the TC647’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 Q 1 are: (1) the breakdown voltage (V(BR)CEO or VDS(MOSFET)) must be large enough to withstand the 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 R DS(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. This is shown in Figure 5-6. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. TC647 The correct value for this resistor can be determined as follows: VDD Fan Q1 – + VR BASE + VBE = VRSENSE + VBE(SAT) + VRBASE VRSENSE = IFAN x RSENSE VRBASE = RBASE x IBASE IBASE = IFAN / hFE VOH is specified as 80% of VDD in Section 1.0, “Electrical Characteristics”; VBE(SAT) is given in the chosen transistor data sheet. It is now possible to solve for RBASE. RBASE VOH = 80% VDD VOH – EQUATION (SAT) + VRSENSE RSENSE RBASE = – TABLE 5-2: Device MMBT2222A MPS2222A MPS6602 IBASE 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 shown in Figure 5-8, zener diode D1 offsets the -12V power supply voltage, holding transistor Q1 off when VOUT is low. When VOUT is high, the voltage at the anode of D1 increases by VOUT causing Q1 to turn on. Operation is otherwise the same as the case of fan operation from +12V. GND FIGURE 5-6: R BASE.

FIGURE 5-8: -12V Supply. 5.6 GND GND Powering the Fan from a 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 TC647. Care should be taken to ensure that the TC647’s VDD supply powers up first. If possible, the networks attached to VIN and V MIN 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 connect- DS21447C-page 14 Power Supply Routing and Bypassing 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 µF capacitor mounted as close to the package as 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. Ground should be kept as short as possible. To keep fan noise off the TC647 ground pin, individual ground returns for the TC647 and the low side of the fan current sense resistor should be used. Design Example Step 1. Calculate R1 and R2 based on using an NTC having a resistance of 10 kΩ at TMIN (25°C) and 4.65 kΩ at TMAX (45°C) (see Figure 5-9). R1 = 20.5 kΩ R2 = 3.83 kΩ Step 2. Set minimum fan speed VMIN = 1.8V. Limit the divider current to 100 µA from which R5 = 33 kΩ and R 6 = 18 kΩ Step 3. Design the output circuit. Maximum fan motor current = 250 mA. Q 1 beta is chosen at 50 from which R7 = 800Ω. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.

TC647 as a Microcontroller Peripheral In a system containing a microcontroller or other host intelligence, the TC647 can be effectively managed as a CPU peripheral. Routine fan control functions can be performed by the TC647 without controller 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 complimentary 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 from the controller or 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. With V MIN set to 1.8V, the TC647 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/O can be used to reset the TC647 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 (see Figure 5-10). 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
