aMC8500
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Product Description
The aMC8500 is a full featured monolithic brushless DC
motor controller containing all the required functions to
implement fan speed control. This device features a
selectable slope pulse width modulator (PWM) for efficient
speed control with analog and digital control signal
compatibility, programmable minimum speed setting, Hall
amplifier with propriety noise immunity circuitry for proper
drive sequencing, fixed non-overlapping commutation delay
for reduced supply current spiking, dual on-chip 0.5 power
MOSFETs with thermal protection for direct motor drive,
programmable cycle-by-cycle current limiting, internal fault
timer with auto start retry, motor kick start timer to insure start
up, combined frequency generator / rotor lock output,
uncommitted op amp with reference for thermal sensor
voltage scaling, and a selectable automatic low current
power down mode for power sensitive applications.
Features
