NCT3941S Description

Short technical summary and product information.

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.
