A logic Over-Temperature Indication (TC646B/TC648B) low applied to V (pin 1) causes fan shutdown. IN Fan Auto-Restart The TC646B and TC649B also feature Microchip Space-Saving 8-Pin MSOP Package Technology s proprietary FanSense technology for increasing system reliability. In normal fan operation, a Applications pulse train is present at SENSE (pin 5). A missing- pulse detector monitors this pin during fan operation. A Personal Computers & Servers stalled, open or unconnected fan causes the TC646B/ LCD Projectors TC649B device to turn the V output on full (100% OUT Datacom & Telecom Equipment duty cycle). If the fan fault persists (a fan current pulse Fan Trays is not detected within a 32/f period), the FAULT output File Servers goes low. Even with the FAULT output low, the V OUT output is on full during the fan fault condition in order to General-Purpose Fan Speed Control attempt to restart the fan. FAULT (TC646B) or OTF (TC648B) is also asserted if the PWM reaches 100% Package Types duty cycle, indicating that maximum cooling capability has been reached and a possible overheating condition MSOP, PDIP, SOIC exists.
