MAX6684 - Fan-Failure Detector with Integrated Power Switch

Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The MAX6684 is an integrated fan-failure detector that detects when a fan exhibits excessive underspeed or a locked rotor.

This device is especially well suited for critical systems where no fan control, or simple on/off control is desired.

19-2306; Rev 0; 1/02 Fan-Failure Detector with Integrated Power Switch General Description The MAX6684 is an integrated fan-failure detector that detects when a fan exhibits excessive underspeed or a locked rotor. This device is especially well suited for critical systems where no fan control, or simple on/off control is desired. The MAX6684 detects fan failure by evaluating fluctuations in current at the low side of the fan; no tachometer signal is necessary. The output of the device, FAIL, is an active-low, open-drain alarm. The MAX6684 can also be used to switch the fan on or off, based on the state of a logic-level input, OFF. This device can be used with fans rated at up to 24V and 250mA.
