The TC646 is a switch mode, fan speed controller for
use with brushless DC fans. Temperature proportional
speed control is accomplished using pulse width modulation (PWM). A thermistor (or other voltage output
temperature sensor) connected to the VIN input furnishes the required control voltage of 1.25V to 2.65V
(typical) for 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle. The TC646 …
