AMtek AM8959
The AM8959 is a 3-phase sensor-less DC fan motor driver IC. It senses the BEMF (Back Electro-Motive Force) of the motor in rotation and provides corresponding commutation current to the motor. The drivers include SLOPE mode, STOP/RMI mode, Lock Detection and Thermal Shutdown.FEATURES
1) Operation voltage 3.3V to 16V 9) Thermal shutdown protection 2) Direct PWM speed control 10) Soft switching technique to 3) Built-in FG & RD reduce acoustic noise 4) Soft start function 11) SLOPE mode setting 5) Forward and Reverse control 12) STOP/RMI mode setting 6) Lock detection/Automatic restart function 13) START mode setting 7) Over current limiter 14) STOP Synchronize 8) Over-voltage protection●
