MAX31785 19-5703 Rev 3 8/12 6-Channel Intelligent Fan Controller General Description Features The MAX31785 is a closed-loop multichannel fan con- S Six Independent Channels of Fan Control troller. Automatic closed-loop fan control saves system Supports 3-Wire and 4-Wire Fans power by operating the fans at the lowest possible Automatic Closed-Loop Fan Speed Control speeds. Added benefits of slower fan speeds include RPM- or PWM-Based Control lower audible noise, longer fan life, and reduced system Optional Manual Mode Control maintenance. Based on a user-programmable lookup Fast and Slow PWM Frequency Options table (LUT), the device automatically adjusts the speeds Staggered Fan Spin-Up Eases Power-Supply of the six independent fans based on one or more of the Stress 11 available temperature sensors. Alternately, an exter- Dual Tachometer (12-Fan Support) nal host can manually command the fan speeds and the Fan-Fault Detection device automatically adjusts the fan speeds. The device Fan-Health Status Meter contains a fan-health-diagnostic function to help users Nonvolatile Fan Operating Run Time Meter predict impending fan failures. The device can also S Supports Up to 11 Temperature Sensors monitor up to six remote voltages.
