Design Example

Step 1. Calculate R1 and R2 based on using an NTC

having a resistance of 10 k

 at T

MIN (25°C)

and 4.65 k

 at T

MAX (45°C) (See Figure 5-9).

R1 = 20.5 k

R2 = 3.83 k

Step 2. Set auto-shutdown level VAS = 1.8V.

Limit the divider current to 100 µA from which

R5 = 33 k

R6 = 18 k

Step 3. Design the output circuit.

Maximum fan motor current = 250 mA. Q1

beta is chosen at 50 from which R7 = 800 .

TC646 as a Microcontroller

Peripheral

In a system containing a microcontroller or other host

intelligence, the TC646 can be effectively managed as

a CPU peripheral. Routine fan control functions can be

performed by the TC646 without controller intervention.

The microcontroller receives temperature data from

one or more points throughout the system. It calculates

a fan operating speed based on an algorithm specifi-

cally designed for the application at hand. The proces-

sor controls fan speed using complementary port bits

I/O1 through I/O3. Resistors R1 through R6 (5% toler-

ance) form a crude 3-bit DAC that translates the 3-bit

code from the processor's outputs into a 1.6V DC con-

trol signal. A monolithic DAC or digital pot may be used

instead of the circuit shown in Figure 5-10.

With VAS set at 1.8V, the TC646 enters auto-shutdown

when the controller's output code is 000[B]. Output

codes 001[B] to 111[B] operate the fan from roughly

40% to 100% of full speed. An open-drain output from

the processor (I/O0) can be used to reset the TC646

following detection of a fault condition. The FAULT out-

put can be connected to the controller's interrupt input,

or to another I/O pin, for polled operation.
