Fan Control Device with Hardware Monitoring and Acoustic Noise Reduction Features
Datasheet
Appendix B Example Fan Circuits
The following figures show examples of circuitry on the board for the PWM outputs, tachometer inputs,
and remote diodes. Figure B.1 shows how the part can be used to control four fans by connecting two
fans to one PWM output.
Note: These examples represent the minimum required components. Some designs may require
additional components.
