ZXBM1016
High efficiency variable speed single-phase fan motor controller
Description
The ZXBM1016 is a high efficiency, low noise,
single-phase, DC brushless motor pre-driver
with PWM variable speed control and current
control suitable for fan and blower motors.
High efficiency and low noise are achieved
using a novel technique (patent pending) for
commutation current control.
The controllers are primarily intended to meet
industry standard OEM fan specifications where
external PWM control are applied, however,
they can also be used with other thermal control
techniques using an external voltage, PWM
signal or thermistor.

Overview
The ZXBM1016 is a high efficiency, low noise, single-phase DC brushless motor pre-driver. It uses
voltage speed control and this voltage can be derived from either a PWM or thermistor source.
The device contains proprietary circuitry to control and limit the current at the end of a
commutation cycle. This tail-end current control (TECC) enables the use of lower rated
components thus providing for a more economic and higher efficiency solution.
The pre-driver also has the usual minimum speed setting and maximum current control
functions.
