Quad Linear Fan-Speed Controller

EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX6620
Quad Linear Fan-Speed Controller
General Description
The MAX6620 controls the speeds of up to four fans
using four independent linear voltage outputs. The
drive voltages for the fans are controlled directly over
the I
2
C interface. Each output drives the base of an
external bipolar transistor or the gate of a FET in high-
side drive configuration. Voltage feedback at the fan’s
power-supply terminal is used to force the correct out-
put voltage.
The MAX6620 offers two methods for fan control. In
RPM mode, the MAX6620 monitors four fan tachometer
logic outputs for precise (±1%) control of fan RPM and
detection of fan failure. In DAC mode, each fan is dri-
ven with a voltage resolution of 9 bits and the tachome-
ter outputs of the fans are monitored for failure.
The DAC_START input selects the fan power-supply
voltage at startup to ensure appropriate fan drive when
power is first applied. A watchdog feature turns the
fans fully on to protect the system if there are no valid
I
2
C communications within a preset timeout period.
The MAX6620 operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V power sup-
ply with low 250µA supply current, and the I
2
C-compati-
ble interface makes it ideal for fan control in a wide
range of cooling applications. The MAX6620 is avail-
able in a 28-pin TQFN package and operates over the
-40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
