TC664/TC665
Description
The TC664/TC665 devices are PWM mode fan speed controllers with Fan Sense technology for use with brushless DC fans. These devices implement temperature proportional fan speed control which lowers acoustic fan noise and increases fan life. The voltage at VIN (Pin 1) represents temperature and is typically provided by an external thermistor or voltage output temperature sensor. The PWM output (VOUT) is adjusted between 30% and 100%, based on the voltage at VIN. The PWM duty cycle can...
