The fan-control function can be divided into the thermal
loop, the fan-speed-regulation loop (fan loop), and the
fan-failure sensor. The thermal loop sets the desired fan
speed based on temperature while the fan-speed-regu-
lation loop uses an internally divided down reference
oscillator to synchronize to and regulate the fan speed.
The fan-speed-regulation loop includes the fan driver
and the tachometer sensor. The fan-failure sensor pro-
vides a FAN FAIL alarm that signals when the fan
tachometer count is greater than the fan tachometer
value, which corresponds to a fan going slower than
the limit. The fan driver is an N-channel, 4Ω, 320mA
MOSFET with a 16V maximum V
nal connects to the low side of the fan. The tachometer
sensor (TACH IN) of the MAX6660 is driven from the
tachometer output of the fan and provides the feed-
back signal to the fan-speed-regulation loop for control-
ling the fan speed. For fans without tachometer outputs,
the MAX6660 can generate its own tachometer pulses
by monitoring the commutating current pulses (see
Commutating Current Pulses section).
The MAX6660 can be operated in a complete closed-
loop mode, with both the thermal and fan loops closed,
where the remote-diode sensor temperature directly
controls fan speed. Setting bit 3 of the Configuration
register to zero places the MAX6660 in thermal closed
loop (Figure 6). The remote-diode temperature sensor
is updated every 250ms. The value is stored in a tem-
porary register (TEMPDATA) and compared to the pro-
grammed temperature values in the T
T
outputs OVERT and ALERT.
The Fan Conversion Rate (FCR) register (Table 8) can
be programmed to update the TEMPDATA every 0.25s
