The NCT3941S from Nuvoton Technology is a linear fan driver designed for noise-sensitive or power-sensitive applications requiring system cooling. This device features a low quiescent current and a low dropout linear regulator, utilizing a P-channel MOSFET to power a DC fan.
The output voltage dynamically adjusts the DC fan speed by following 4 times the voltage of the VSET pin. It can deliver a continuous output current of up to 500mA, with a current limit trip threshold of 1.6A. The dropout voltage is specified at 0.5V when delivering 0.5A output current.
This fan driver is suitable for applications such as projectors, peripheral add-in cards, motherboards, and battery-powered systems. It is available in a SOP8-EP package with an exposed pad for improved thermal performance. The device also includes short circuit and over-temperature protections, contributing to its reliability.
Key features include dynamic fan speed control via VSET, low external component count, and ease of use. The NCT3941S is designed to be a low-cost solution for thermal management needs.
The output voltage follows 4 times the voltage of the VSET pin, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the DC fan speed.
The NCT3941S can deliver a continuous output current of up to 500mA.
The dropout voltage is 0.5V at an output current of 0.5A.
The current limit trip threshold is 1.6A.
The quiescent current is 3uA when the FON# pin is enabled.
The NCT3941S is available in a SOP8-EP package.
