Description
The US72 and US73 provide a monolithic
solution for driving single-coil fans. The bridge
drivers provide bi-directional current through the
single phase motor winding.
US72: The tachometer/Frequency Generator
(FG) version produces a logic signal, which is
aligned with the Hall plate signal.
US73: The Rotation Detector (RD) / Alarm
Signal version has a low output in the normal
condition. When a locked rotor condition occurs
the RD changes to a high state.
