Features
General Description
„Constant Fan Speed Control
„PWM control for stable operation
„Build-in MOSFET switch
„SMBus interface
„Internal short-circuit protection
„On/Off control provided
G760 is a single chip solution for fan speed control,
packaged in a space saving SO-8 package. It connects directly to the fan and performs closed-loop
control of the fan speed. The only external component required is a 10µF capacitor. It determined the
current fan speed based on the fan rotation pulses
and an externally supplied clock. It uses pulse width
modulation (PWM) method and an on-chip
MOSFET to control the fan speed to ±2% of the
programmed speed. The desired fan speed is programmed via the SMBus. The actual fan speed and
fan status can be read via the SMBus. Short-circuit
protection is implemented to prevent damages to
the fan and this IC itself. An On/Off control pin is
also provided.

Description
The fan speed is measured by counting the number of
the CLK pin period between the rising edges of two
fan speed pulses on FG pin. In this way, we are actually measuring the period of the fan speed. To avoid
the cost of doing division to obtain the speed, this
count number, N, is used in the PWM control algorithm, thus, the desired fan speed should be programmed by writing the corresponding count number.
The count number is given by:
N = (CLK x 30) / (rpm x P)
N : Count Number
P : FG pulses number per revolution of fan.
For CLK = 32768Hz, P = 2
⇒N = 491520 / rpm
For CLK = 16384Hz, P = 2
⇒N = 245762 / rpm
Some selected count numbers are shown below
When pin 3 (On/Off) is a logical 1, the fan speed will
be controlled according to the setting in the programmed fan speed register. There are two ways to
stop the fan, (1)setting pin 3 (On/Off) to 0V, (2) program the fan speed register to 255. These also makes
the fan controller into power saving mode.
Controlling Fan at Lower Speed
For stably controlling fans at lower rotation speed,
three schemes are recommended as below:
1.Use larger decoupling capacitors between FAN_OUT
and GND.
2.Shunt a capacitor of 1µF-2µF on FG pin to GND.
3.Use fans with open-collector FG outputs.
When controlling fans under lower rotation speed, the
output voltage of FAN_OUT would be too low for fan
to generate recognizable FG signals.
Using decouple capacitors on FAN_OUT and FG is to
increase the SNR on FG pins. While using fans with
open_collector FG outputs can thoroughly solve the
problem, because the logic high level of FG would be
fixed to 5V.

Internal Registers
This IC provides 3 SMBus registers.
1.Programmed fan speed register:(SET_CNT,address:00b)
This register is a read/write register, it contains the
count number of the desired fan speed. Power up
default is FFh.
2.Actual fan speed register: (ACT_CNT, address: 01b)
This register is read only. It contains the count number of
the actual fan speed. Power up default is FFh.
3.Fan status register: (FAN_STA , address : 10b)
This register is read only. Its bit 0 is set to 1 when
the actual fan speed is ±20% outside the desired
speed. Its bit 1 is set to 1 when fan speed is below
1920 rpm. Power up default is 10b.
SMBus Address
The SMBus address of this chip is fixed to7Ch (01111100b) for write and 7Dh(01111101b) for read.
