THMC40 Datasheet Variable Speed 12-VDC Brushless Fan Motor Drivers

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments

General Description

The THMC40 and THMC41 are 2-phase, dc brushless motor (BLM) drive and control devices intended for use with 12-Vdc cooling fans.

Both devices include a high-efficiency PWM drive topology using integrated 0.5-Ω (typical) LDMOS drivers, plus a speed control input stage to provide the industry’s first solution for efficient speed control inside dc cooling fans.

This patented solution eliminates the need for power drive components on the main system board, thus reducing printed-circuit board (PCB) component count, PCB space, and assembly time.

Overview
