Built in thermal sensor Brushless DC fan speed control Linear control and regulation of the fan speed according to the temperature Green OFF mode operation with automatic turn- ON in case of overtemperature Voltage limitation above fan stall voltage No external NTC required s s s s s s 5 1 IPPAK Fig. 1: Block Diagram. ON BENEFITS Low cost integrated fan speed control High integration: only one or two external components Reduced acoustic noise because of the linear control of the external transistor Power supply noise rejection Good thermal coupling with heater Reduced ON/OFF oscillation because of large hysteresis High current capability (base current higher than 10 mA) Higher accuracy than discrete circuit with NTC s s s s s s s s BIAS FSCTxxA-UH5 F VCC VOLTAGE REF.
