AM4964
SINGLE PHASE FULL WAVE DIRECT PWM MOTOR DRIVER
Description
The AM4964 is highly integrated feature rich single phase Brushless
Direct Current (BLDC) full wave motor driver with combined PWM and
temperature speed control function for fans, blowers and extractors.

NEW PRODUCT
For system flexibility, the motor speed can be controlled by an
external PWM signal and temperature sensed by Thermal resister at
the same time. Based on external input PWM and temperature
signals, the AM4964 adjusts the output PWM duty cycle. If the input
PWM duty is constant, the output PWM duty varies with temperature
sensed by Thermal resister sensor between the low and high
temperature corners. If the temperature signal is constant, the output
duty varies with the external input PWM duty. The low and high
temperature corners and the output PWM duty gap between these
temperature corners are adjustable
To help protect the motor coil, the AM4964 provides a rotor lock
protection which shuts down the output if rotor lock is detected. The
device automatically re-starts when the rotor lock is removed.
AM4964 provides a tachometer output
Frequency Generator
(FG). The FG output is the magnetic change frequency.
The AM4964 is available in TSSOP-20EP package.

Notes:
4. Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied.
Exposure to “Absolute Maximum Ratings” for extended periods may affect device reliability
5. TSSOP-20EP exposed pad is soldered to minimum recommended landing pads (see Package Outline Dimension section) on a 4.0mm x 3.0mm two-
layer 2oz.copper FR4 PCB (1.6mm thickness) with four thermal vias in the exposed PAD to the copper flood on the bottom layer. See thermal de-rating
curves in the thermal performance section.
