If this feature is not required the pin is left tied to ThRef so no minimum speed will be set. H+ - Positive Hall input H- - Negative Hall input The rotor position is detected by a Hall sensor, with the output applied to the H+ and H- pins. This sensor can be either a 4 pin 'naked' Hall device or of the 3 pin buffered switching type. For a 4 pin device the differential Hall output signal is connected to the H+ and H- pins. For a buffered Hall sensor the Hall device output is attached to the H+ pin, with a pull-up attached if needed, whilst the H- pin has an external potential divider attached to hold the pin at half Vcc. When H+ is high in relation to H-, Ph2 is the active drive. If the fan is being controlled from an external voltage source either this feature should not be used or if it is required then a >1k⍀ resistor should be placed in series with the SPD pin. ComDel - Adjusts the Commutation Delay The ZXBM1017 has a fixed internal commutation delay of 100us, however, there may be cases where this needs to be adjusted to a different value. A resistor can be attached to this pin to enable the delay to be lengthened or shortened dependant upon application. H-Bias- Hall Bias Output This is a 1.75V nominal voltage source to bias a differential unbufferred Hall sensor when that type is used. A resistor applied between the ComDel pin and Gnd will lengthen the delay and a resistor applied between the ComDel pin and ThRef will shorthen the delay. The following Table indicates the delay expected for a given resistor value. ThRef - Network Reference This is a reference voltage of nominal 5V and is used by external networks to set up the SPD and SMIN pins control voltages. Typical Commutation Delay It is designed for the ability to 'source' current and therefore it will not 'sink' any current from a higher voltage. The current drawn from the pin by the minimum speed potential divider to pin SMIN and any voltage setting network on the SPD pin should not exceed 10mA in total. Resistor to ThRef Resistor to Gnd Delay ( s) 100k⍀ - 28 220k⍀ - 40 SPD - Speed Control Input The voltage applied to the SPD pin provides control over the Fan Motor speed by varying the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) drive ratio at the Ph1Lo and Ph2Lo outputs. The control signal takes the form of a voltage input of range 3V to 1V, representing 0% to 100% drive respectively. - - 80 - 470k⍀ 120 - 300k⍀ 168 CPWM - Sets PWM Frequency This pin has an external capacitor attached to set the PWM frequency for the Phase drive outputs. A capacitor value of 0.1nF will provide a PWM frequency of typically 24kHz. If variable speed control is not required this pin can be left with an external potential divider to set a fixed speed or tied to ground to provide full speed i.e. 100% PWM drive. The CPWM timing period (tPWM) is determined by the following equation: t PWM = The advantage of a fixed potential divider is so that the benefit of the current control can be achieved. Where: If required this pin can also be used as a disable pin. The application of a voltage >3.0V will force the PWM drive fully off, in effect disabling the drive. SMIN - Sets Minimum Speed A voltage can be set on this pin via a potential divider between the ThRef and Gnd. This voltage is monitored by the SPD pin such that the SPD voltage cannot rise above the SMIN Voltage. As a higher voltage on the (V THH −V THL )xC (V THH −V THL )xC + I PWMC I PWMD C = CPWM +15, in pF VTHH and VTHL are the CPWM pin threshold voltages IPWMC and IPWMD are the charge and discharge currents in A. tPWM is in s ISSUE 2 - OCTOBER 2005 6 ZXBM1017 As these threshold voltages are nominally set to VTHH = 3V and VTHL = 1V the equations can be simplified as follows: t PWM = RD - Locked Rotor Error Output This pin is the Locked Rotor output as referred to in the CLCK timing section above. It is high when the rotor is stopped and low when it is running. 2C 2C + I PWMC I PWMD This is an open collector drive giving an active pull down with the high level being provided by an external pull up resistor. CLCK - Locked Rotor Timing Capacitor Should the fan stop rotating for any reason, i.e. an obstruction in the fan blade or a seized bearing, then the device will enter a Rotor Locked condition. In this condition after a predetermined time (tlock) the RD pin will go high and the Phase outputs will be disabled. After a further delay (toff) the controller will re-enable the Phase drive for a defined period ((ton) in an attempt to re-start the fan. This cycle of (toff) and (ton) will be repeated indefinitely or until the fan re-starts. FG - Frequency Generator (speed) This is the Frequency Generator output and is a buffered signal from the Hall sensor. This is an open collector drive giving an active pull down with the high level being provided by an external pull up resistor. The frequency at which this takes place is determined by the value of the capacitor applied to this CLCK pin. For a 12V supply a value of 1uF will typically provide an 'On' (drive) period of 0.56s and an 'Off' (wait) period of 6.8s, giving an On:Off ratio of 1:12. Ph1Lo & Ph2Lo - Low-side External H-bridge Driver These pair of outputs drive the Low side of the external high power H-bridge devices that in turn drives the single phase winding. These outputs provide both the commutation and PWM waveforms. The outputs are of the Darlington emitter follower type with an active pull-down to help faster switch off when using bipolar devices or MOSFET devices with a high gate capacitance. When in the high state the outputs will provide up to 80mA of drive into the base or gates of external transistors as shown in the Typical Application circuit following. The C LCK timing periods are determined by the following equations: t lock = t on = V THH xC LCK I LCKC (V THH −V THL )xC LCK I LCKC t off = When in the low state the active Phase drive is capable of sinking up to 32mA when driving low to aid turn off times during PWM operation. When the Phase is inactive the output is held low by a 7.5k⍀ internal pull-down resistor. (V THH −V THL )xC LCK I LCKD VTHH and VTHL are the CLCK pin threshold voltages and ILCKC and ILCKD are the charge and discharge currents. Where: Ph1Hi & Ph2Hi - High-side External H-bridge Driver These are the High side outputs to the external H-bridge and are open collector outputs capable of sinking 100mA. This signal provides commutation only to the H-bridge. As these threshold voltages are nominally set to VTHH = 3V and VTHL = 1V the equations can be simplified as follows: t lock = t off = 3 xC LCK I LCKC t on = V+OP- Phase Outputs supply voltage This pin is the supply to the Phase outputs and will be connected differently dependant upon external transistor type. 2xC LCK I LCKC 2 xC LCK I LCKC For bipolar devices this pin will be connected via a resistor to the VCC pin. The resistor is used to control the current into the transistor base so its value is chosen accordingly. GND - Ground For MOSFET devices the pin will connect directly to the VCC pin This is the device supply ground return pin and will generally be the most negative supply pin to the fan. ISSUE 2 - OCTOBER 2005 7 ZXBM1017 VCC - Applied Voltage SetTh - Set Threshold Voltage It should be noted that the effectiveness of the control is determined by the external network used to control the SPD pin. It will not work where the fan is being controlled by a low source impedance voltage. If the fan is being controlled from an external voltage source then a resistor >1k⍀ should be placed in series with the SPD pin. The ZXBM1015 contains a current monitor circuit used to sense the current flowing in the motor winding and this pin is used to control how the circuit responds to that current. The minimum speed setting on the SMIN pin will override the current limit feature. A current cannot be set that is lower than the current taken when the motor stalls at minimum speed. The device works in a threshold feedback mode using a potential divider to the Set Threshold pin. This potential divider is used to set a voltage that will be compared with the voltage generated by the current in a Sense resistor attached in the Low-Side ground return of the external H-Bridge driver. When the current in the Sense resistor, and thus the voltage, rises above the SetTh pin threshold the controller will back-off the PWM drive to limit the maximum current taken by the motor. To do this the current monitor will internally apply a correction signal to the SPD pin. If the motor current is below the set threshold the controller does not influence the SPD voltage. A suitable voltage range for the SetTh pin, and thus the sensed voltage on the Sense pin, would be 50mV to 200mV. Sense This is the device internal circuitry supply voltage. For 5V to 12V fans this can be supplied directly from the Fan Motor supply. For fans likely to run in excess of the 18V maximum rating for the device this will be supplied from an external regulator such as a Zener diode. This pin is used by the current sensing circuit, as described above, to monitor the current taken by the motor windings. The signal comes from a sense resistor in the Low-Side ground return of the external H-Bridge driver.
