TC647VUATR Datasheet PDF - Microchip Technology

General Description
The TC647 is a switch mode, fan speed controller for use with brushless DC fans. Temperature proportional speed control is accomplished using pulse width modulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output temperature sensor) connected to VIN furnishes the required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V (typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. Minimum fan speed is set by a simple resistor divider on the VMIN input. An integrated Start-up Timer ensures reliable motor startup at turn-on, coming out of shutdown mode or following a transient fault. A logic low applied to VMIN (Pin 3) causes fan shutdown.
