TC642VOA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TC642VOA from Microchip Technology is a switch-mode fan speed controller for brushless DC fans, utilizing pulse width modulation (PWM) for temperature-proportional speed control. This IC supports a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V, with the fan voltage being independent of the TC642 supply voltage, allowing it to support any fan voltage.

 

Key features include Microchip's FanSense™ technology for fault detection against fan failure and system testing aid. It also offers a shutdown mode for energy-efficient systems and supports low-cost NTC/PTC thermistors for temperature sensing. The device is housed in a space-saving 8-pin SOIC package.

 

Applications for the TC642VOA include power supplies, personal computers, file servers, telecom equipment, UPSs, and power amplifiers, making it a versatile solution for general-purpose fan speed control where acoustic control and longer fan life are desired.
