MAX31790 - 6-Channel PWM-Output Fan RPM Controller

General Description

The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent PWM outputs.

The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written through the I2C interface.

The outputs drive “4-wire” fans directly, or can be used to modulate the fan’s power terminals using an external pass transistor.

Key Features

  • Provides Precise Fan Control and Monitoring for Large Fan Count.

X31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written through the I2C interface. The outputs drive “4-wire” fans directly, or can be used to modulate the fan’s power terminals using an external pass transistor. Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (Q1%) monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure. Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs. The PWM_START inputs select the PWM output status at startup to ensure
