The TC650/651 measure their junction temperature and control the speed of the fan based on that temperature, making them especially suited for applications in modern electronic equipment. Temperature data is converted from the on-chip thermal sensing element and translated into a fractional fan speed from 40% to 100%. A temperature selection guide in the data sheet is used to choose the low and high temperature limits to control the fan. The TC650/651 also include a single trip point over temperature alert (Tover) that eliminates the need for additional temperature sensors. In addition, the TC651 features an auto fan shutdown function for additional power savings. The TC650/651 are easy to use, and require no software overhead, and are therefore the ideal choice for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems.

The temperature data is digitally stored in an internal register. The register is compared with pre-defined threshold values. The six threshold values are equally distributed over a predefined range of temperatures (See Table 1). The TC650/ 651 control the speed of a DC brushless fan using a fractional speed control scheme. The output stage requires only a 2N2222-type small-signal BJT for fans up to 300mA. For larger current fans (up to 1 Amp) a logic-level N-channel MOSFET may be used. In addition to controling the speed of the fan, the TC650/651 include an on-chip over-temperature alarm (Tover) that gives a low-true signal when the temperature of the chip exceeds TH by 10C. This feature eliminates the need for a separate temperature sensor for over-temperature monitoring. The PWM pin is designed to drive a low-cost transistor or MOSFET as the low-side power-switching element in the system. Various examples of driver circuits will be shown below. This output has an asymmetric complementary drive and is optimized for driving NPN-transistors or N-channel MOSFETs. Since the system relies on PWM rather than linear power control, the dissipation in the power switch is kept to a minimum. Generally, very small devices (TO-92 or SOT packages) will suffice. The frequency of the PWM is about 15Hz. The PWM is also the timebase for the Start-up Timer (see paragraphs below). The PWM duty cycle has a range of 40% to 100% for the TC650 and 50% to 100% for the TC651. Start-Up Timer To ensure reliable fan start-up, the Start-up Timer turns PWM high for about 2 seconds whenever the fan is started from the off state. This occurs at power-up and when coming out of Shutdown Mode. Table 1: Temperature Range Definition for TC650 (Minimum-Speed Mode) Temperature (T=Tj) T
