TC646 Datasheet PWM Fan Speed Controller

Manufacturer: Microchip Technology

General Description

The TC646 is a switch mode, fan speed controller for use with brushless DC fans.

Temperature proportional speed control is accomplished using pulse width modulation (PWM).

A thermistor (or other voltage output temperature sensor) connected to the VIN input furnishes the required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V (typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle.
