AH5798
SINGLE PHASE HALL EFFECT LATCH SMART
FAN MOTOR CONTROLLER
Description
The AH5798 is a single chip solution for driving single-coil
brushless direct current (BLDC) fans and motors. The
integrated full-bridge driver output stage uses soft switching
to minimize audible switching noise and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) providing a low noise solution.
To help protect the motor coil, the AH5798 provides Rotor
Lock Protection which shuts down output drive if rotor lock is
detected. The device automatically re-starts when the rotor
lock is removed. Over temperature shutdown provides
thermal protection for the device.
A Tachometer output is provided by open-drain Frequency
Generator (FG) Pin which allows external interface to monitor
motor rotation or speed. The FG output is the magnetic
change frequency.
The AH5798 is available in space saving SOT89-5L and
thinner TSOT25 packages.

* Reverse connection of power supply may damage the device. To prevent reverse power damage, a protection (reverse blocking)
Diode D1 is needed between power supply and Vdd terminal. If a reverse power protection diode D1 is used, there
is no current return path to power supply, so it is necessary to follow measures such as below.
- Connect Dz (Zener diode) between Vdd and Vss terminal, to prevent voltage exceeding the absolute maximum rating of the device.
- Connect a capacitor C1 between Vdd and Vss terminal, to complete the current return path to power supply.
The AH5798 has an open-drain tachometer FG output that follows the magnetic change frequency. Typically, a pull-up resistor of 10kΩ is
recommended from FG pin to the supply voltage.

Notes:
2. In “Normal spinning”, the FG changes its state at each rising edge of O1.
3. When the motor locks with South pole at the Hall element, O2 is kept on “L” and O1 is a clock with Ton/Toff ratio. When motor
locks with North pole at the Hall element, O1 is kept on “L”, O2 is a clock with Ton/Toff ratio.
4. When “Re-start spinning” occurs, the motor speed ramps up to the “Normal Spinning” speed from zero. Speed ramp-up profile
depends on motor characteristics.
